    Grinds my gears...

    (When you can't find the droids you're looking for.)

    Anywho, this is a heads up for all the other board members, and a note to the clan to whom the following nitwits belong:

    I was playing on Sharqi the other day; I joined about a quarter of the way through. Upon joining, I noticed that I couldn't spawn at the Mil-28 Havoc base for MEC, as it was colored red (indicating full spawn area). I spawned at the center base and started to advance, only to be owned by the Cobra and the Havoc, working in tandem. Now, there's nothing wrong with this, it's pretty ballsy to steal the chopper from the other team, and I applauded the pilots for their work. However, things soon went downhill.

    Lacking any air support, and being trapped in two spawns (blocked, remember), we were being fisted. And the pilots of the Havoc had to keep informing everyone they killed that "u r 4 f4g!11!!" and "suk 0n 0ur sc0r3!" and other such nincompoop behavior. At this point, I thought, "Well, they're bastards, but what can you do?"

    I managed to escape the baserape and get to the Havoc base to repair the asset. When they two pilots swung by, I Vodnik'd them down. Getting our chopper back, we turned the tide, and I stuck in the base, knowing that the two morons would come back to try and repeat steal the chopper.

    I dropped them about four times apiece, but they eventually got me fair and square. This is where it gets retarded.

    When I died, I was on a turret, so I was "Killed" outright, not critically wounded. The camera pulled back accordingly, and I watched as Asshat #1 and #2 proceeded to park the Vodniks in a very special manner. As soon as they moved the vehicles, the Respawn Button turned red. They were plugging spawn points with vehicles to trap up the MEC team and rape them. If there was ever a definition of whorish behavior, that was it.

    Oh, and of course, we were then informed of how "1337" they were, and how we were all "n00b f4gg0tz". Fortunately, admin came on and kicked the two, but here is their names, so those of you who run servers know to look out for these jerks.

    vVv Dum-Bo-Zo
    vVv Goflow

    I've never met vVv clan before, but if any of you are reading this, please take care of these people before they give you a bad name. They were greatly damaging the fun of the game for everyone.

    LOL!!

    They used the vodniks to make the spawn point red....I have gotta try that to see if it works. Very lame tactic, but wow that's something.

      That's retarded. People like that need to go jump off a really tall bridge.

          That's my one fear about posting this, but I figure letting Admins know ahead of time outweighs giving fresh ammunition to smacktards. *crosses fingers*

            Wow..never ever bothered to think about doing that!

            There are many many spawn positions per flag, how did they manage to block them ALL with only 2 vodniks??

              How many spawn points are there per flag anyhow? Is it a fixed number?

                Of course it is, or else there wouldn't be a maximum amount of spawn points per flag..

                  I meant "Does every flag have the same number of fixed spawn points?"

                    Oh, then in that case, I would like to know as well.

                      when we make custom maps, we place at least 15-20 spawn points per control point (flag). If DICE put only 2 spawn points to an uncapturable main flag, then that's a huge problem. Because you are saying they put vodniks on the spawn points right? Well they have 2-3 vodniks there and they shouldn't be able to cover all the spawnpoints. That's a serious bug, and if people abuse this, we can have more problems than we did with the buggy AA or the red team bug. Because the same thing might happen in many other maps and it's a very bad tactic.

                        those vodniks will eventually explode if they are not manned by anyone...
                        I highly doubt this 'event' will spread... well at least in pub servers.

                          But... erhm.. number of spawns aside... If you move the vehicles, dont they self destruct after a short time ?? ("Short") being relative..

                              They do. And its not that long before they do, but the time is enough for a few spawns.

                              I couldnt help but laugh, this is a great story about smacktards of BF2. Shooting them down should have been accompanied with group laughter and a choire of "You got owned" by your team
