the average iq of people playing is going down ...

[jackal22]

i was able to take out 2 walkers by shooting the vents, and they were both pac ones with the tiny vents.

there was no way in hell you could pull that off in one round when this game first came out.

[Trevortt]

The whole series of BF games are bugged.

[some1one]

Whats that got to do with bugs?

Whats that got to do with bugs?



exactly what i was thinking

Back on topic:
its becuase there are alot of christmas noobs about.

[[C22] yrethguad]

It's because I've taken a sabbatical.

[The 13th Raptor]

I think it's more severe than that, i mean.. bugs try to avoid getting swatted/stepped on. They have like.. no IQ. Yet what i keep seeing suggests players have even LESS mental capabilities then them.

I'll be sniping somewhere, and watch a enemy walker step up to the flag swarming with friendlies and stand still, camping.. So i figure the commander will EMP-orbital it, or rdx.. railgun, pilum.. hell, rocketlauncher will get it. Nope! People keep spawning support/assault and keep dying, over and OVER again. I mean seriousy, i had to run into the fray with my little pistol and railgun the thing.. three shots and it was gone. It's horrible.

[jackal22]

yeh people are acting like lemmings on some servers...

[Razzia]

yes indeed, some ppl are just totally unaware that there are teammates, and those teammates are getting shot up -,-

Ssshhhhhh! Don't tell people! I love being the only anti-tank ( engineer, w/e) out there. People do not use engineer at all, so when I actually choose to be one it is so easy to get points. People don't expect missiles to be coming at them, so the walker starts turning around crazy shooting random spots. I walk around a bit to a different spot and shoot it again. Its terrible that people don't choose to be engineer more, especially when you see that a base is being raped by a single tank/walker. Its pathetic but good for those who actually use some ocmmon sense. MOre points and less deaths for me that way.

[jackal22]

i love the engineer, its my new favorite kit.

the smg is deadly, the rockets are brilliant, and motion mines are greate for stopping enemy choppers taking off.

the emp pad things are pretty handy too

I understand the situation, and it's aggravating, but I think the problem is that people think there are going to be, like, 10 other engineers by the time they spawn, the walker is going to be gone, and they're going to be good for nothing because there's no armor, enemy or friendly, nearby. Unfortunately, since everybody has this mindset, the walker ends up owning everything with no opposition.

[Whiteplague]

[HIJACKTHREAD=Whiteplague;238745]Engineer is the to me the third best kit to use in the fray yes the smg is very nice, it comes packed with a few kills per clip and yes the motion mines own your local vehicle whores and yes the PDS-1 is pretty nice and of course we all love the pilum but really those EMP mines maybe ive never stuck around to see when or if a vehicle runs over them but well ive never seen a vehicle run over my EMP mins its always the mm's that get them first and the EMP's have nothing to do with a kill (more than likely its because i never stick around to see if they work)[\HIJACKTHREAD]......

[FURRY BIRD]

I like the saaw, but I also love to be able to fix things and blow stuff up too.

[Brood+98]

i find that people are playing it like halo, theres more situational awareness, but less teamwork, people cant secure an area for ****, people dont cover each other, people dont revive each other, people dont give a ****.ill be shooting at some guy coming towards us, expecting the THREE squadmates nearby to cover my ***, but no...oh no...they allow a guy with a knife to sneak up on me...and then are so stupid they let him knife them all.

or when a team has the collective intelligence of a lima-bean? its hard to do well when your team utterly refuses to do anything that involves co-operation. they just run around like its freaking quake.

example. many ppl dont understand that theres no brakes on the nekomata...it drifts after you stop. so please, DONT run at me to try and get in while in flying full ball down a road, an then TK punsish me...when i only needed those 3 points to get my freaking badge... (i TK knifed him, stupid ***) or the amazing increase of ppl who punsih for running into APMS, despite the hud warning, the big skull and cross bones, and the freaking warnings i put in team chat.

i TK'ed a ******* support guy who refused to resupply me even though i was down to a freaking pistol, followed him for like 4 minutes, spamming "I NEED SUPPLIES!" so eventually i cracked the ****s, knifed him, took his kit, threw the hub down, took my old kit back, revived him and moved on. it was worth -3 points.

[Vikaman]

My IQ was 128 a year ago...

After joining my new Geography class it dropped by a milllion... people around me are sooo stupid....

"So Mr. (name of Geo teacher), if the contour lines are bunched together, its gonna rain yea?"

[Brood+98]

"So Mr. (name of Geo teacher), if the contour lines are bunched together, its gonna rain yea?"

LMFAO...i cant stop laughing, can i quote that for my geog teacher? thats the funniest thing ive heard all day, ffs lol

[Vikaman]

Go ahead... I was like WTF IS WRONG WITH !!!!! (I used the F word Yes)

I probably said what my Geo teacher wanted to say...

go ahead, that quote is all ures.

[Light_Wolf]

Meh. Me think good. Me talk good too.

[Dr_Zyklon]

people are definately not getting smarter, trust me, i know that from my good old days in 1942 i can tell people just dont know what the hell they are doing anymore. back then it was fun because people actually knew how to play the damn game

[Brood+98]

they can shoot alright, yeah, but god damn ppl do some dumb *** ****.

[jackal22]

oh yeh the good old squad to cover your ***. dam i hate that so much, now i only join a squad if its loacked with my friends in it.

otherwise lone wolf because you cant count on anyone in this friggin game any more.

its like the community has become saturated with braindead smacktard punishers.

tbh i think most support guys get it now that they will get loads of points for chucking down hubs so i dont have a big issue with ammo any more... health is another matter. it seems medics cant give a dam about people.

[MrChris_CJ]

low player iq is a major battlefield bug

[Rouglead]

when your entire team can let 10 noobs into the furthest base away from there base,


i was playing campG and what happens? i spawn at the eu base and i go outside to get the walker and there is already pac there this is like 5 minuets into the game, we end up loosing in the next 5 minuets because my team wont spawn anywhere but the closest base to pac base!

[ThePhoniex]

i was able to take out 2 walkers by shooting the vents, and they were both pac ones with the tiny vents.

there was no way in hell you could pull that off in one round when this game first came out.

the public at large is made up of stupid people that just get dumber when put together, this is rule 3 of life.. after death and taxes

enjoy your free kills

[sddo]

someone on the totalbf2 forum used to have a quote in his sig saying something along the lines of: if i have learned one thing from bf2 it's that you should never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. although i think it was more applying to the nerfing patches it also applies here. =P

[nutcrackr]

sometimes noobs get in the walkers, it happens and you laugh. Doesn't mean that the iq is going down just means you got lucky.

BF 2 was a faster paced game than 1942. And BF2142 feels fast paced as well. If you take too long to make a decision, your dead. So, the advantage usually goes to the attacker and not the camper. I have VOIP setup and have played BF2142 since it first came out. All of that time I joined in squads. Sometimes they took the game way too seriously so I left. Other times there was no communication at all (no VOIP?). But along the way, I've joined squads with players who do try to work as a team. I started adding these guys to my 'buddies' list. We'd join whatever server the others were playing in and just have fun. Now, we've formed a clan =FUCU= . So, I don't see how in the last 3 months or so, why people haven't found some others that want to play like they do? I don't understand why everyone is so hard on the newbies, they're newbies... what do you expect? At some time you were a mindless newbie, running around in circles because you didn't know the maps yet and shooting anything that moved. The best thing to do is to help the newbies. Guys that take the game too seriously ***** and moan about the newbies. It's just a game, have fun. The faster you help the newbies get up to speed, the better the game play will be.

[jackal22]

ok ive found another fault.

squad leaders who insist on using active cammo WHILE HAVING A BIG FLOATING DRONE THING ABOVE THEM

I'm with you on that one. Isn't it obvious that people who are new to the game aren't going to know the ins and outs of the gameplay. Chances are, lots of the more experienced players don't know about walker (and any other vehicles) weak spots, because they're more casual gamers who don't choose to post on 2142 forums and therefore probably don't know that sort of information.

Although I find it equally as annoying as the next guy who wants to join a good squad but can't find one. The other day for example, I join a squad, my squad leader sounds like a little whiny kid, and starts complaining about the fact that everyone is stealing his kills. I did laugh five minutes later though when I heard him shouting 'What do you get the purple heart for, I just won the purple heart!'

[jackal22]

o lol

oh god the whiny kids... well im kinda a kid at 14, but my voice is broken....i think lol

but anyway i was playing with a person who must have been 8 i swear, his voice sounded like a chipmunk and when he started talking i laughed so hard, by then we had a full squad and we all started laughing at this guy and he didnt know what it was about.

Was so funny, when a walker was 200m away he would freak out and and scream OH S*** Oh S*** a walker RUN RUN RUN, I NEED help, RUN AWAY GET OUT OF HERE, we say settle settle take deep breaths. ( bad experiances maybe, i think he has nightmares of them)

anyway i stayed in this squad for a long time until the server died down..... then the unthinkable happend... he requested budy list with me. now i dont like to reject people, but i played with him again and i couldnt stand his voice and his pure stupidity.... i deleted him from my buddy list and havent encontered him again thank god.:laugh:

[EaGle1337]

well the iq is going down, not mine hopefully.

[SilverDragon]

Truth, the IQ is going down, I camped the SAME area defending Camp G from the EVIL PAC!!! for the WHOLE round! (I was practicing with the Scar 11 it's really good if you can use it right, quick killtimes.) I'd use either the SCAR, the PK rockets, or my frags, AGAIN AND AGAIN! The frags at the corner rear the first flag, rockets at the fenceholes, Scar on the idiots who thought the roofs were safe.

Not once did any of the people who actually found and shot at me come back to try again. They tried to cap the flag for sure, but they ignored that I was still there, killing them.

Ended the round 54-5, an incredible K/D for me, 3 of those deaths were from hyperactive teammates who freaked when they sprinted by me, 2 were from smart walker pilots who knew how to use the top gun on infantry.

[LahLahSr]

If you the leave the group of people who play and join those who do not, you can actually raise the average IQ in both groups!
