Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

I punished a guy for killing me for my unlock, but then I killed him and revied him, and everything was okay

I enjoy the engineer class even though I get punished sometimes... I just went my anger by screaming loud and clear "Sonuva....You **** n00b punisher."

Havent you seen the ultimate bf2 guide from somethingawful.com?
About punishment, it says:

Always Punish Team Kills! - This is the primary goal of Battlefield 2; to punish your teammates as much as possible and as frequently as possible! Unleash your unbridled nerd rage to lash out upon all that surround you, taking out years of aggression on digital representations of those who beat you up in junior high school and forced you to drink roofing tar. Did a teammate somehow kill you after your character ran directly in front of his jeep, giving him absolutely no chance to stop or avoid you? Punish them! Did you decide to hold a breakdancing jamboree on top of a minefield, one where you're the guest of honor? Make them pay! You're untouchable online, and every punishment for a team kill gets you one step closer to defeating the ghosts of Billy Reynolds, the football player who caught and made fun of you in the locker room for masturbating to an erotic drawing of Garfield. Be sure to always punish for team kills if you play on the American side, as our country is known far and wide for its citizens blaming others for their own unbridled idiocy.

I like that guide! here is my favorite:

Step On Land Mines! - When driving a jeep at the fastest possible speed, you may notice a big red skull and crossbones icon appearing on the right of your screen. This means that a witch is chasing you and you've got to get out of there as soon as possible or else she'll throw her level 34 skeleton at you! Look for a small, round, black teleporter which will magically whisk you away to a beautiful new location, usually about 40 meters straight up. If one of your teammates decides to kill you while traveling there, be sure to punish them, because it's not your goddamn fault a witch was chasing you and you tried to escape. War is hell, soldier!

Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

The main reason i hit my own teams mines is my own laziness. When in a vehicle and i see a mine i sometimes try to squeeze past it with out setting it off rather than do the smart thing and find another route. However punishing your own team because of your stupidity is a different story

Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

I dont want to punish but it gets hard when every single time you do a TK you get punished, it makes you bitter and think ill get em back for that and thus the cycle repeats, until as we are now - everyone punishes.

Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

I had THE most stupid punish ever now.
Driving a humvee, which was damaged a little, drove at maximum speed.
Now this ENGINEER jumpes from behind a building starts running towards me (head 2 head) tried to break and avoid him, but couldnt do anything....got punished for that. :cry:

but have to say, i sometimes dont pay attention, and punishing is default if you dont push page-down

Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

A lot of issues combine to ruin the Engineer class, but the TK punish system is certainly one of them.

Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

i used to have a guy who walked on my claymores three times in a round and he punished me for all 3 tks, then i got kicked. i didnt even think he did that accidentally.

Today an idiot wanted the APC I was riding... he obviously got upset because he did not get it (did not know he wanted it anyway) he kept standing in front of the APC so I'll TK him. It was obviously intentional. he got upset later because I did not TK him and started firing at the APC with his small arm gun.

The number of idiots in this game is amazing.

If Civ4 was not that addictive game then I would have switched to it and left bf2 for those idiots. I just play games as a change when I am sick of working.

With the idiot population and the lack of new maps... this game is getting very boring.

Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

The punishment system isn't the problem, it's the people who abuse it. It is awesome to take away 8 points from someone who kills you for a vehicle.

The problem is the bunch of no skilled armor whores who get mad because you block their path to some awesome spawn killing. People need to learn to defend sometimes. Most people in this game MINDLESSLY attack.

Re: Punish system destroyed Engineer Class

Today, I used the engy a little. Happens that I got two tks in one game and both people punished. I had a -10 score. I dumped the engy and picked a medic just so that I could get myself out of it. For the next few games I didn't use mines. Except to sabotage a handfull of unused vehicles at the enemy base. Even then I was lucky not to get tks.

If it weren't for the spanner he'd be nothing , because like you say the mines aren't a good asset. They are about as self-defeating as AA. Use them and you're bound to do more damage than good ( no pun intended ). Unless, you are extremely carefull and luck helps, too.

Top it all with the visibility of the explosive to the enemy's eye and the destructible property ,even by a simple grenade, and you have a weak attribute.
