I just got BF2 a few days ago. I figure, it's Saturday, I'll sit down for a nice long session of BF2. Well let me tell you, I'm considering getting a refund right now. Not because of any flaws in the game, but because of the morons who play it.
I started off playing on an urban map. Strike at Karkand, I think it was (you'll have to forgive me if it's wrong; I don't know all the maps yet). I was playing as MEC, having a grand time. The whole time, one of the admins kept telling us that we could not use armored vehicles by spawn points because it's unfair. Then it comes down to the MEC only having one spawn point left. The same admin who was telling us not to camp spawns in vehicles, IS CAMPING OUR ONLY SPAWN ON THE GUN OF A HUMVEE. He's having a grand old time getting about 30 kills before it finally ends. Ok, next round, same map. A squad of 6 USMC sneaks around to the back and starts taking our spawns from the back. I head back there to combat them, thinking I will have at least SOME backup. Nope. I am the only person even close to the bases that are being captured. I try, but I'm really not used to BF2 yet and I can't kill any of the USMC. These guys are literally capturing all of our bases and my team is doing NOTHING. Then I see on the screen, "Artillery strike at this position!" and I think that I have a commander who actually knows what he's doing. Nope, the artillery strike is way up in some random corner of the map. I say to my team "We're losing all of our bases, in case you guys didn't notice" and one guy says something like "fuck you, I'll play how I want to." Obviously, we lost that.
Ok, time to go to a different server. Gulf of Oman - hmm, that sounds good. So I load up a server with Gulf of Oman and join USMC. MEC controls all the bases on the land; ok, that's fine, I plan on just spawning on the carrier and taking one. The second I spawn, I am TKed by some moron with an M16. Then he revives me. Then he TKs me. Then he revives me. I'm helpless to do anything. Finally I just hit the Suicide button so he can't revive me. I respawn and am joyed to find an empty Blackhawk waiting for a pilot. I sprint over and hop in. Then, some idiot says "HEY THATS MY BLAKHOK LOLOLOLOL" and throws a bunch of C4 on it. I go boom. Sigh.. different server..
Alrighty. Kubra Dam, that's a fun map. I join and the round ends about a minute later. I join USMC at the start of the new round and spawn at the airfield, dashing towards the F15. I'm gonna get there first and get to fly. But suddenly I hear gunfire behind me. I know what's going to happen before it happens. Yep, I get TKed so this idiot can have his plane. Sigh. I decide to join a squad because it seems that you're more useful to your team when you're in a squad. There's one squad that has 4 out of 6 people; all the others have just 1. I join the one with 4 and look on my map. WTF. My squad members are all spread out at random locations and we have no orders. I request an order, and the leader says "Go kill stuff." Wtf is the point of being in a squad if you're not going to work together? Meanwhile, the commander calls an artillery strike on our own airfield, TKing about 5 people.
Every single round of BF2 I played tonight, I was TKed at least once.
Ok, that's all. I just needed to vent. You can stop reading this now.
