Engineer TKs

Re: Engineer TKs

I was shot for my sniper once in karkand...
What did I do? I didn't punish, choose medic, found my little "friend" and shot him. Teabagged him a while, then revieved him, letting him keep his sniper. That earned me a "thanks" and a "Lol".

Then we both made ourselves a squad and litteraly stole the socks underneath our enemies. Sooo Sweet

Lol, Beware the guy with a pair of padders...:laugh:

Re: Engineer TKs

I know what you guys mean with the the engineer tk's. I am not engineer 24/7 but I am engineer a lot and I enjoy it except for the fact that many 12 year olds play the game. I mean I babysit sometimes I let this 7 year old play but he is probably as good as most 10-13 year olds it seems like.

Re: Engineer TKs

That is true. But that is not an excuse to run them over and get killed by them. All you have to do is throw a grenade by them and they will explode, then just drive on by.

EDIT: BeerStein beat me to it.

I think before, a lot of people would say engineers placed there mines poorly so they deserved punishing. Some would even run over engineer mines purposely so they could punish. Now, even though you can blow them up, people will still run over and punish.

I think this is a result of an immature impatient playerbase that wants instant action. Some assaulter who's barreling out of the base and is ****ed that he has to swerve to avoid a defensive mine so runs it over out of self righteous spite. The nature of this playerbase is proven with popularty of maps like Karkand, which is an easy to navigate in your face, instant action, tactically one dimensional, twitch map.

I really wish more people thought creatively and tactically and tried to make all the kits on their team work to their fullest by using teamwork. Instead of living their "Army of One" fantasy.

Furthermore many of these people declare a kit proffesion and have very little experience outside of it. They don't know what it is to try to mine as an Engy. If they did that or any of the other kits maybe they would improve their team play

Karkand attracts Battlefield scum.

Re: Engineer TKs

Or you put claymores at the top of a ladder to protect you and some retard on your team decides to walk into your mines then punishes you... Thats what all my teamkills are for. But I have found 2 servers where people will get banned for abusing the punish tk.

Though I won't punish for such a claymore tk I'm often tempted. I think it is inconsiderate for team mate snipers to hog the crane on Sharqi for example. As a squad leader I've needed to climb up there so my squad can paratroop down to any of 3 flags but I couldn't get up there because of friendly claymore placement. Cranes and high places can be used by non snipers.

Re: Engineer TKs

I dont think it would help to remove mine/claymore tks all together that would just encourage people to be annoying with them (blocking in bases with mines...etc.). Maybe just lowering the punishment for them maybe only -1 punishment if they chose to punish.

Re: Engineer TKs

I would rather prefer the mines to go off if the tyres of the car actually hit them as when you go over top theres nothing thats putting pressure down on them. I think this will avoid many tk's

Re: Engineer TKs

It would be way to hard to get a kill with them though.
