    Support your local...well, support actually

    Stuck out in the field and down to your last magazine? Or maybe your a sniper up a crane and you wasted your last claymore boobytrapping a TOW?

    You could call for a supply crate, but you know how unreliable they can be...one never around when you need it then three turn up at once! Plus it takes sooo long to find anything in them, rooting around through all those spanners, bandages and vodnik tyres just to find a couple of measly grenades. Support players carry all your favourite ammo types, and also offer a free home delivery service to all players. And if you're on the move don't worry, our delivery staff can leave your order at a convenient location for you to pick up later.

    Also, did you know that much of the ammunition in supply crates is cheaply imported or end-of-line bankrupt stock? Support players carry only the finest ammunition which undergoes strict quality control testing to ensure you get the best bang for your buck! Your order will come packaged in an attractive leather presentation bag carrying the distinctive "Support" designer logo, which can be used as a briefcase, washbag or to carry sandwiches and a flask of tea.

    Granted, supply crates can heal you (at a pace roughly equivalent to a snail covered in germolene crawling over you), but when was the last time a supply crate gunned down the sniper that was creeping up to knife you whilst you were digging around for a flashbang? Remember, to support your local small businesses as you won't find better customer service, supply crates can be so impersonal and sometimes you can't even get through to the call centre. And finally, don't worry about saying thanks...the look on your face as you recieve you're much cherished package is thanks enough (along with the +1). Besides, there's nothing more upsetting than seeing a valued customer get shot in the head whilst fiddling around with the comms rose :)

    You forgot to mention that delivery time can be anything from 10 seconds to well... too late.
    And some of your staff are downright rude choosing to ignore pleas from long time customers down to their last pistol-clip, because they think another delivery is more important.

      I agree, when I'm out of ammo, I take what I can get. I usually request ammo first, and if there's not a support in sight, or the one lone "small business" is running the other way with no regard to my request, I look to the commander. Because when I need ammo, I need it right then. If the commander still won't respond, I'll go for someone else's kit bag.

        Admittedly there have been some staff training issues...we've recently had a large influx of new employees and a lot of them are spending a bit too long field-testing their equipment. I've a feeling that many of them won't last the trial period and will end up back in the Assault department.

        Also a few older employees are still wary of little green boxes at the top of ladders. A memo's been sent round about the changes but the photocopier girl went home sick so a few of them might not have got it yet.

        I have to admit I've been guilty of ignoring the odd plea, but only from someone who's out in the back of beyond (probably a sniper). I remember running out of ammo sniping the carrier on Dragon...I was miles away from anyone and couldn't face the trek back so I suicided and respawned. And there's many a time I've busted a gut trying to resupply someone who's dead set on running away from me...remember, that gun's heavy, we can't run very far!

          If i'm not pinned down i'll always try and meet a support or medic halfway, but it's annoying when your less than a meter away screaming 'Need Ammo' at them, some of them seem a little, well.. vacant.
          Do you drug test your employees?

            They're probably the same ones that spot enemy boats on Mashtuur...

            Good support players always remember to devote every spare moment to littering the surrounding area with ammo bags. Untidy people make the best support players :)

                It's the sound of the PKM. It just makes you forget about your duties.
