Re: courtesy tips?

Actually it's funny that this is the first time I've seen this topic. Myself i'm courteous to a fault sometimes. Here's a list of the things I'll do for my teammates.

1. If a medic nearby me gets shot, I'll pick up his pack and revive him provided the shooter has been taken care of, or can't hit me while I'm doing it.
2. If I'm in a vehicle, I'll actually stop and see if teammates need a ride as I'm passing them.
3. If a couple of my squad mates and I are taking a flag, instead of rushing in with them to get the neutralize points, I'll hang back and search the surrounding area to make sure nobody is defending/hiding nearby. It's only 1 point, and I'd rather ensure we get the flag instead of all of us getting a grenade tossed at us.
4. If I'm playing support, I'll staple myself to an AT guy to make sure he's always got a reload.
5. I'll take the time to spot snipers/tanks/apc's if i'm not able to take them out with the kit I'm carrying

It's the little things that help out during a battle, and maybe, that guy you helped out will remember that and return the favour later in the game.

All great points, and we think along the same lines.

I forgot about the "pick up the medic kit" tactic, I do this all the time with my buddies I play with on VoIP.

I also follow the same strategy of following the AT guys and offering them ammo! :)

PEACE

Re: courtesy tips?

Something else I do as well, although only if the squad I'm in is populated, staying together and has a medic travelling with us. If we're moving in on a flag, and the possibility exists for claymores, C4 or a couple of enemies sitting around waiting for us to head out into the open, I'll sacrifice myself to clear the way, or at the very least flush out where these guys are hiding. That way the squad can take them out while the medic revives me, and we get the flag.

Re: courtesy tips?

Courtesy is really helpful. And would the people playing the appropriat kits please DO YOUR DAMN JOBS!
Many times I've been injured near to the point of death and managed to get myself out of harm's way and find a medic and I start asking for a medpack repeatedly..."I need a medic", "Medic to this position", "I need a medic"...ad infinitum but the medic just stares at me and then leaves!
I've gotten to the point where when this happens I will TK the medic and take his kit, throw down medpacks to heal myself, and then revive him. Damn the tk penalty. This is my subtle way of saying, "DO YOUR GOD DAMN JOB!"

Re: courtesy tips?

Dont revive me if enemies are right there (they have probably thrown a nade on my body to take both of us out when you revive)

Dont drive away in the Hummer I just moved to the turret in... that was for a reason

Dont try to get in the chopper thats going to spawn if me and my freind (with the same prefixes) are both waiting for it

Wait for someone to get in the chopper\jet\tank etc. with you so you can be more effective

Re: courtesy tips?

If you see me sitting in a transport gun positioned somewhere shooting at people, don't jump in a drive me off, usually into a tank shell that kills us both. I hate when people move my vehicle when I'm positioned in a good spot and killing people.

About medics, I've had many games where I'd stand right in front of a medic or support guy asking for healing or ammo and they'll just sit there and ignore me. So tempting to just kill them and get their attention that way. And i hate when I die by a medic and he doesn't revive me. I can understand if we're under heavy fire, but not in other cases.

Don't stand behind tanks. If someone shoots a rocket at me, my first instinct is to back up and if someone is behind me, they're going to get run over and I'm going to get ****ed at having a TK.

If you have one flag left, don't stand around it. Take whatever vehicles are there and split up, going for any flags. Some people just don't seem to understand the concept of flag control and how important it is.

Re: courtesy tips?

See, this thread is about courtesy to the other players on your team, but yet all you tards can do is complain about how others screw up your game. Why not mention what wonderful things you do to help out your team instead of bitching about others.

Re: courtesy tips?

sometimes when i see a guy in the turret of a hum v or a vodnik, ill jump in, and drive...but i drive so the guner can rack up kills....going slowly, stopping at intersections, and alleyways etc, so they have the time to get all the shots off......if the gunner starts shooting, i will stop so they can aim better....

Re: courtesy tips?

Here is the courtesy I offer:

-When a group of people are are about to cap a flag and they are under heavy fire, I will try and jump in the mix with a healthpack in my hands. Same with ammo.

-If I'm using engineer kit, and I see armor about to get trashed, I usually ride in a buggy and park next to it. If it's getting attacked, the damage is usually repaired as fast as it is taken, this gives the tanker enough time to destroy the vehicle.

-Engineer again, if assets are destroyed, I will change kits after I die and will go as far as necessary to repair. Some commanders are such numbnuts that they will be in the front lines and not even bother commanding. A commander really should be engineer and stay at main to repair damaged assets themselves.

-If I find a medic/support kit laying around, I take it and throw satchels all over and I go back to my own kit.

-When I get healed/revived/resupplied I always make it a point to say thanks.

-I always give rides to strangers...LOL!!!

rofl ahhah, id never thought of that maybe thats why some people dont stop for me

Re: courtesy tips?

All of these are right, especially the giving people a ride. There's nothing worse than being stuck at the USMC base on Karkland when all the vehicles have been driven off.

There is the obvious one which has got a lot of attention on other threads, punishing accidental teamkills. I gave a guy a lift in a heli, I was about to land on top of a building, he jumped out to early, I landed on him and he punished me. He was even in my squad for gods sake, so I kicked him out. It's just common sense really, don't screw over your own team mates, it's not even that, you get points for helping them, so even the most selfish moron (Of which there are many in this game) has a reason to help his own team.
