    If there are a lot of people, then I play Medic and I farm revive and heal points (50+). If it's a small-medium game, then I'm one of your "GP-30/M203 noobs"

      I love it when people are called "noobs"... Hello, the game has been out for 5 weeks! WE ARE ALL STILL NOOBS. Some of us are just better at killin' than others.

        noob = idiot.
        newb = new.

          When I play, I always forget about using my grenades and just try to shoot people. I'm not the best either but I have fun. Its the whiners and complainers that ruin it for everyone else. It's only a game and not to be taken seriously. I kind of have a laugh at the different ways that people have killed me.

            And please tell us what map you think brings out the "expert veterans" and "every winner method of gameplay"....

            Thanks.
            Sure. Here are just a few (of the many and-growing-daily list):

            1) A SNIPER BUNNYHOPPING into a pack of troops WHILE dropping claymores then DETONATING them and killing himself (saw this first on Karkand).

            2) Fast moving vehicle endlessly driving around, PLOWING over troops for run-over kills (of course a Karkand classic).

            3) Spawn camping.

            Maybe you're ok with this kind of gameplay.

            As for the other question, its not that simple in BF2. As it is now (on the pubs), gameplay is quickly reduced to the lowest common denominator. Isn't that what all the bhoppers always tell us: "stop crying and adapt, learn how to do it yourself" "get some skillz and you can become l33t" bla, bla, bla.

            So we get exactly that. More and more people 'adapting' - but ultimately bringing the game down. Take a close look at the threads on this board. You could spend a day reading how quickly the gameplay is getting really rediculous on the pubs.

            That said - outside of BF2, the model for high level, team-based gameplay EVEN on a pub (IMHO) is - DAY OF DEFEAT: AVALANCHE. You dont see a lot of cheesy gameplay on that map.

              I think ea should make servers strictly for noobs.

Hey, its a noobcannon too! lets say everyone that uses AKs or M-16 are noobs! the only 1337 players are those that get all their kills with pistols! but, ho, wait, its the most accurate weapon in game, so its a noobcannon! hey , the only good players are the ones that kills only with knife! now THAT is real 1337 skill.
                  Basically you hit the nail on the head from top to bottom.

                    Exactly.

                    Look, I can accept being killed with it from a distance - but when you get shot point-blank by a 203 WHILE HE WALKS away untouched by splash...well, there's something wrong with that.

                    MOST 203 kills are coming from CQB type ranges, this has to be the case. Those kills are cheap.

                    Peeps are using it as a primary weapon on Karkand for these very reasons:

                    1 - NO DOWNSIDE at all to using it in CQB (other then TK, which NOOBS COULD CARE LESS ABOUT)

                    2 - UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF AMMO.

                          Actually i a little bit agree with you, however most time i play there is usualy one side is full of ppl who are sort of new in the team game, which makes this side they are on a losing side... but what about points, naa for me the best way to get the points would be to play on 16 player map.. just get into a vehicle alone or with the crew and start rushing each flag once its captured by enemy since they are not too far from each other...

                          in Karkand i mostly never go alone, i go with my friends and we always work as a team, which even if we lose makes it loads of fun to play :p and i think snipers make this map better, because im not a sniper abviously, so i always need to make sure i am walking somewhere where i am not seen..

                              STRIKE AT KARKAND IS THE DE_DUST OF BF2

                              Soon we will have Strike at Karkand 2, Stike at Karkand Nights, etc. Maybe they'll even add Bombsites A and B for good measure. Utimately no map is complete without some form of "double doors" for your team to rush through. Then at round start we can all type "RUSH THE DOUBLE DOORS U NOOBS RUSH!!!11!111" Finally tell everyone on your team to "RUSH WITH UR KNIVES OUT!!11!" because we all know you run faster when you have your knife out.

                              Just throwing around some ideas.

                                Wow, in all my time I haven't hear such excessive *****ing about nothing.

                                Do you people in reread what you type? I mean, " Noob " this... " Noob " that. How are you gunna' fault someone for A.) Being a New-Player [..and think that for some reason is reason enough to exclude them from servers] B.) Killing you in an Urban map with a grenade launcher? [Which, you know, is the weapons DESIGNED PURPOSE! Urban Engagements that is.]

                                ...I don't understand half of ya'. Get off your high horse and play the friggin' game,
