    The realities of BF2. A guide for new players?

    Truths:
    • The best AA is a .50 cal machinegun mounted on a jeep
    • The most precise long-range sniper weapon is an anti-tank rocket
    • The best anti-tank rocket is a thrown pack of C4
    • The most powerful single entity in the game is a yellow, magical crate that falls from the sky. It can kill you in one shot. If it misses, it hands out ammo so that everyone else can kill you instead.
    • If you want to disconnect from a server, dropping landmines and being kicked for TKing is more efficient than pressing "ESC" and then "Quit". Often, it's quicker than Alt-F4 too.
    • The mini-map will never be zoomed to the level you need
    • If you need a Medic, you'll be surrounded by Support players. If you need Support, you'll be surrounded by Medics. If you need an Engineer, go play BF1942.
    • You're more likely to get shot down by a tree than an AA missile
    • At least 47% of your team is standing on the airfield
    • Smart defense of captured CPs is simultaneously the most powerful and the least used tactic in the game
    • You're never "safe"
    • Spawn camping and artillery ensure that, for every 1 death, you're guaranteed to die 2-3 more times before you get an opportunity to move again
    • Location, location, location. When it comes to survival, where you are is usually far more important than what you do - as long as you don't stay in any one place for too long.
    • Whatever happens, nothing in BF2 is worth getting ****ed off about.


    Add yo' own.

    EDIT: Added from another, similar thread.

    EDIT: Thanks to KDJAC for makin this into a list.

    1. If you spot an enemy before he sees you, chances are you will die.

    2. The probability of killing someone is inversely proportional to how much you want to kill him.

    3. For every good thing done, something bad happens.

    4. If you see a bunch of easy targets in front of you, you will miss all of them and die.

    5.You have a better chance of throwing a handfull of sniper rifle bullets and killing the enemy, than shooting them at him.

    6.For every one enemy you kill with mines, you will kill 2 friendlies and they will both punish the TK.

    7.Idiots have a unique pheromone receptor which can sense a friendly arty strike. Once initiated they run to the center of the strike like moths to a flame, thrust their noses in the air and put there finger on the PgDn button ready for the climax!

    8.Thou shalt always respawn into an arty strike or a massive unfriendly assault and die before you can do anything.

    9.A dune buggy slowly slipping down a gentle slope is the most brutal and deadly thing in the game if you're standing in its path.

    10.When fleeing from an enemy, you will be shot to death, inches away from your cover.

    11.when a gunner in a helo, chances are u got the worst pilot u can think of

    12.When you have no money chances are your joystick will go funny.

    13.If someone with an ak101 happens to glance at you, you will instantly die of fear.

    14.No matter what weapon you carry, it will take over half a magazine to attempt to kill the guy that take you out with a three round burst or less.

    15.Holding right mouse button when throwing a grenade changes throw length from feet to inches.

    16.Even with the dexterity to balance the blade of his knife on his finger, a soldier will constantly miss when lunging to stab a stationary enemy.

    17.Somehow, a man can take a 50.cal sniper round to the chest WITHOUT DYING.

    18.Your pistol is a much better sniper rifle than your .50cal rifle

    19.A crescent wrench can fix anything

    20.You can raise a flag in a tank.

    21.Seconds before you get your hard-earned Flag-Capture Point, an Enemy will pop up and kill you, giving the Capture Point to your Team-Mate.

    22.After shooting an enemy Tank to low Health with your APC, your Gun will overheat and a Team-Mate will grab the kill, leaving you with not even a Kill-Assist.

    23.You will never be able to swim away fast enough from an accidently drowned Jeep.

    24.Claymores only kill foolish teammates.

    25.If you want an enemy to abandon an armoured vehicle, run at it from the rear and let them see you doing it, they'll jump out.

    26.No matter what, dephibulators cure all

    27.the pinnacle of aviation technology cannot help a bomb hit its target

    28.all vehicles have electrical armour plating, as when u touch it, ur dead

    29.The more you press the 9 key to deploy a chute, the less likley the chute will deploy

    30.You spawn right next to the enemy tank.

    31.If you want to be a sniper you should choose Anti-Tank Class.

    32.Just as you detonate the C4 on the UAV trailer, two to three teammates will drive up in a jeep right next to the detonation site.

    33.No matter how much you shoot a guy parachuting down, he will never take any damage. And, when he gets down you are out of ammo and he kills you.

    34.You are killed after a 10 minute run to an enemy flag, right before you reach it.

    35.Water is extremly flamable and will cause vehicles to explode.

    36.If your ina group and run into a single enemy, you WILL die first.

    37.Confucious say: When commander drop supply crate from sky, look up or you will endure headache until next spawn

    38.Confucious say: Man with handful of wheat will hit enemy more than with M229 SAW.

    39.Spawning is more like a race to the heli.

    40.A tank thats motionless while capturing a flag will wait until you run up behind it to plant C4 before the drivers cat steps on the S key and kills you.

    41.Just after you found a great Spot to snipe from, while taking careful Aim at a Group of Enemies - you will be knifed from behind.

    42.After taking a few well-aimed Shots at an Enemy, he will spin around and kill you with a single round from his MP5.

    43.You must be the fattest person in the army as you cannot fit through a 3 foot wide gap between the bamboo

    44.After throwing a pack of C4 ontop of a smoking tank, and pulling out detonator, the remaining C4 (in your pocket) will magically explode...every time.

    45.If you are capping a flag alone in a tank the one enemy that manages to spawn in time will be a spec op...

    46.If you are capping a flag and once it goes neutral you hear arty guns firing in the distance, run like #@$%!!!

    47.If you need tank support, drop a mine on the road and a friendly tank will show up in no time...

    48.If you respawn as an anti-tank the tank will have either disapeared or magiclly spawned many enemys' who know exactly where you respawned

    49.When in need of medical aide call for a supply drop, the crate will be there in no time to crush you to death, thus ending your need for medical aide

    50. Asking a Commander for ammo means he will send Artillery with the assumption you catch them and throw them at the enemy.

    Do you consider yourself a man who is on a mission to give others advice? And as for advice...

    95% of all your allies, and enemies are retards.

      Learn to lose.. It's inevitable.
      Think before you act.. even the ones in command are stupid mostly.
      Act before you think.. when in doubt shoot everything that moves, has moved or looks like that it could move again.

      Don't play for points.. it will only get you angry.. instead: PLay FoR FUN!!!

      Rape or get raped.. Do not hesitate. (But do not rape uncontestable bases)

      Pick a vehicle.. Start practising with it... Few weeks and you start owning with it.

          When being a commander, the best way to play that is to be as high as possible so you can see the whole battlefield, so in order to do that, grab a plane/heli and command away!

            = You will be killed by bombers, copters and tanks ten times before you get our first kil.
            = NEVER EVER pick the kit Support.
            = Its more likely to find a needle in a haystack than to find a Squad that really teamworks.
            = Jets make an great place fr Squadleaders.

                    Especially if you are the squadleader and no medics are around.

                      Just keep in mind that I didn't write the second, numbered list. I'm not taking credit for the work (or the spelling errors).

                        OMG .... FUNNIEST THING I EVER HEARD ^^ .......... Within the first 5 on that list ... I found myself laughing harder than any other jokes online ...

                        2,4,15,35, and 50 are awsomely funny ... very nice

                        Oh this too : The most powerful single entity in the game is a yellow, magical crate that falls from the sky. It can kill you in one shot. If it misses, it hands out ammo so that everyone else can kill you instead.

                            Grenade launchers are more accurate than sniper rifles.
