I want to underline chump, yet I found myself reading most of it. I like it. Cut the cussing, cut the "smartass" comments, you might be on to something. I read it. The whole damn thing.

What, where, when? Where is this "guide" that she has read?

I tried using this workaround but it crashed the server.

Do all bullets travel at the same speed? I assume not but I want to be sure. I need to know this for the Leading Fire Guide located here: http://guide.realitymod.com/index.php?title=Leading_Fire_Guide

although reading ADAs caustic comments and strategist AKA apheirox deadly serious posts ignoring him are hilariously entertaining, reading the guide is even more.

no, not really. but it sure is illuminative.
and it bashes spec ops which must be made clearer.
worthwhile stuff. hoping for more.

Glad you like it. I can only dream of what a guide a person of your outstanding intellect could create. Alas, you do not seem to be very productive.

wait, hold on, I thought I had just been sort of productive by writing a encouraging post which I spiced up with posh words Ive found on dict.cc
I was quite satisfied with that till I got sarcasm in response.

Work on guides may be slow for a while, busy IRL. If somebody can answer some of my questions hidden between the spam posts it would be greatly appreciated.

The 'Common Basic Mistakes' guide is nearly complete: Two paragraphs and some thread restructuring to go. Next up will be the 'leading fire guide' which still needs major work, especially regarding explaining ping.

Also, even if the tank driver does not see you he will know there is a threat and will start looking for you or retreat. The only time it is wise to fire head-on at a tank is if you are absolutely certain you can destroy it in one it

Found a small typo in the Minor mistakes about fighting tanks head on.

Overall, its decent guide, though bullet points would probably make it easier on the reader.

Cheers, Reaper.

Feel free to fix tiny typos like that yourself. Only thing I am trying to avoid is people adding paragraphs with bad or no formatting at all.

I am not sure how I would go about with the bullet points. I see what you mean, of course. I wanted to have each point divided into paragraphs but that seems to break the bullet point structure. I could create a sub-bullet point structure, like this:

- Main point
-- sub
-- sub
-- sub

but that is not really what we want, is it?

I will look into this issue, though. Might be able to dig up some info in a manual.

Yeah, something like that. Paraphrasing may or may not help, but give it a try atleast, get some feedback and make the appropriate changes.

With so much going on in my personal life right now I feel a need to take a break from the strategy guides. Please feel free to edit or extend the guides.
