BF2 may have it's faults but...
... when it's good it's great.
In a break from the scheduled incessant flaming, ranting, complaining about kits/vehicles/whores & finding new things to ban, I thought I'd post a happy story about the best game I've ever played in, from last night. I don't want praise or flaming, just to share it :)
Kubra Dam is one of my favourite maps and I'm quite proud of my record on it. Perhaps it's because of my current score on it that I play harder to maintain it? Anyway. I joined the match fairly near the beginning but we were already on 150pts to the enemy 200pts. All CPs were enemy bar our (USMC) spawn, but we had a hostile tanks and infantry swarming all over us. We fought them off, pushing them out of our base, then proceeded to reclaim a couple of CPs but we still had our massive 50 point deficit. At some point our "glorious" commander turned tail and ran away so I stepped up and took over.
Over the next 30 minutes we proceeded to mount the most intense and exciting fightback I've ever played in. Knowing I couldn't sit idle and let my team fight alone I opted to play in reserve, defending CPs while the rest of the team went on the offensive.
As we passed the 100 ticket mark, now down to about 30 points behind, I checked the player list. We had 8 players to the enemies 12 - as an aside, what excuse can there ever be for not having autobalance on? Despite asking for balance, the opposing team were clearly content to take advantage of the situation and ignored me. Naughty admins.
Anyway, by the time we were at 50 tickets the gap had narrowed to 25 but we were still trailing. At this point my team had captured all CPs bar one, the half built house at the top of the hill near the right of the dam. All enemies were there and all my team were there fighting it out. We took the flag from MEC to neutral... I called in artillery and my team backed off and formed a ring around them. Still the MEC clung on! Somehow they fought us off and broke loose, capturing another CP and getting another lifeline. By now though the difference was only about 10 tickets. At 7 - 14 tickets I thought "we could win this" and shouted my thoughts to the team, commending them all (again!). Tickets started to "tick" down... I artilleried a clump of enemies, killing two but TKing a friendly - not an exchange I was happy to make at this stage - and for an agonising couple of minutes we were at 1 - 2. Then 1 - 1.
That shot of the dam and the "USMC has won the round 1 - 0" has never been so welcome :)
This was on the Ironhand server, in the UK I think. To go from 50 points down, to nearly winning by capping all flags, to winning by 1 ticket AND being 4 men down... makes for a great game.
Happy to hear about any more great games people have played, whether you won or not.
