Your most frustrating moments

Re: Your most frustrating moments

I sympathize with those who get punished for team members walking into their claymores, mines, etc. DICE greatly reduced the excuse for such incidents by placing a warning on friendly players' HUDs. If people choose to ignore them, that's their own decision.

However, I can also see the friendly fire recipients' view. There are some people who really do place mines and claymores on pathways that are obviously traversed more by team members than by enemy forces. It should be common curtasy to think before you place.

I find people who are so focused on "getting the kill" that they willingly and knowingly endanger their friends.
Example (1): people who start throwing grenades at tanks when there are other friendlies around the tank.
Example (2): pilots who launch rocket barrages or bomb showers on a target where there are obviously friendly units.

Despite being victim to such incidents, I have yet to punish such people. I believe in human mistakes and errors; but there really needs to be some restraint shown by those with considerable firepower under their control.

to that second example, seeing the difference between friend or foe is not always that easy when flying in with a jet to drop some bombs on the last remaining enemy base

Re: Your most frustrating moments

Yes it's a bit different with jets because they only show up vehicles not infantry (although I always check the HUD before bombing) but punishing for TKs with claymores and AT mines is just stupid, it shouldnt be allowed. If arty strikes dont count (which they should do) then At and Claymores definitely shouldnt

Precisely my point. Unless there is obviously friendly units in the immediate target area, TK's obtained in this manner shouldn't be punished.

Here is an example of when it would be obvious: you are headed towards a flag with the intention of bombing it when it turns neutral. This is a clear indication that there are friendlies in the area.

If those didn't count as teamkills can you imagine how many idiots would put them right at friendly bases just to see people who actually try get the **** blown out of them?

Well those people could easily be kicked by admins, and they could still count as TKs but not give the option to punish. It's a small price to pay for getting -12 in a round because of idiots who pay no attention to the red skull and just climb a ladder with a claymore at the top anyway.

Re: Your most frustrating moments

I was Commander on Cleansweap, I think that was the map. We were doing good. I was doing a pretty good commanding job. Issuing orders, scans, UAV, Artilery, and what not. I had one squad that NEVER did anything I ordered. They sat around most of the map. It annoyed me so asked why then they got all mad at me. Each member of the squad started a kick vote on me, one after another. Then after I think everything is fine, one of the bastards comes up and TK's me three times then he got kicked. Then another one came over and killed me 3 times. Idiots.

Re: Your most frustrating moments

There ought to be a limit on how many punish's you can make per game, but I am sure this has been suggested already, and i missed it.

I also wish the friendly/enemy color tags would get fixed, i had a game the other night where all i was doing was killing enemys, and being told i should be kicked for teamkills, yet on the score tab, it clearly showed i was on the opposite team as these folks complaining...

will the BS ever end

(dam reckless medics lol) i respawn pwned AGAIN this happens like 5 times!! now theres a few of us all gettin killed so.... soloution...change to the AT kit!!!..genius.. select the AT kit waiting the unearthly long 30seconds...... RESPAWN!! what do i see.. the smouldering remains of a tank and the vapour trail of a jet!!! now i hav to walk like 5million miles to the nearest enemy base with that heavy ass kit to try and deal some damage!!! walk all the way along that wi9nding road to enemy base (all vehicles were taken/ took like 5mins!!) killed by friendly artillery!!!!!! argh loose the round 240-0!! what a waste of a round!!!

Re: Your most frustrating moments

Once a tank and an LAV came into my base. Being special forces, i planted C4 on them and was getting ready to blow them both to hell when my own artillery killed me...and no one else.

Re: Your most frustrating moments

its the fact that when some one runs over a mine or gos over a friendly claymore, instead of saying "**** im a dumbass!" like they should. they say "you f'ing dumbass!" which always leads to some one getting punished for some one elses ignorance

Heh. He's got a point. And it's a good one.

Re: Your most frustrating moments

Frustrating moments for me:

- Commanders in combat are not doing their job (unless the server is small)
- Getting TKd for a jet/car/etc when I was waiting for it first
- Players making me kill them because i got the jet/car/etc first
- "There is a problem with your connection" when I'm in intense fighting... or flying a jet..... and I die
- The game just crashes randomly (just flat out closes without any errors..) ESPECIALLY when I'm going for a ribbon or badge or something that's hard to get. (Like one time I needed 19 kills in a jet, and 15 minutes in it, in 1 round to get the aerial service ribbon... after i got the kills i was flying around trying to get my 15 mins in........ and the game just crashed)
- Spawn campers... especially in Karkand when those tank/apc whores camp spawn by looking down the MEC alleys.
- Getting the commander position, and having players vote a mutiny against you INSTANTLY... for NO REASON.... except for the fact that you are a better ranked player than they are.
- Dealing with the crappy server list menu (buggy filters, bad pings, sometimes takes forever to get server info when you click it... even on a good computer)
- Medics reviving me in the middle of artillery/heavy combat when I just die again and more time is wasted (just so they can get points).. but I sometimes do this too so I shouldnt be complaining....
- Climbing all the way to the top of a ladder to find the enemy waiting for me (or a claymore!)
- People punishing for accidental TKs.
- You run in to a teamates claymore/at mine (and vice versa) by accident.... and they end up calling you a f***ing moron, starting drama, punish you, vote kick you, etc....

Maybe more to come... if I think of them
