You could say "Ich habe kein munition bekommen, WO IST DAS VERDAMTE MUTNITION!!!"
Strange I didn't notice any M203 attachment on his rifle, and yet I remember him showing me a flashbang. His icon was rifleman. Perhaps I mis-remembered him showing me a flashbang. I dunno I was tired and accept half the blame. Was very funny at the time.

But this opens another problem: When you order him to get somewhere fast, he just can't help but marching there in the orderly Stechschritt....

Strange, how it is that the germans here are those who make fun of germans via WWII the most :p

Well, if there are more Problems, just call: 0-1800-DU WERDEST EINE KRANKENSCHWESTER BRAUCHEN!!!

My most infuriating "Are you kidding me..."

Scene: Al Basrah, during the Open Beta for .609. I'd been on the Insurgent side for about an hour, we'd been doing quite well.

Suddenly, one of the Brits gets smart, dresses up as a pilot, and spools up the Apache. Before you know it, we've got chin-gun rounds flying left right and centre wiping us off the rooftops, we've got Hydras splashing around any car or truck that moves and Hellfires starting to hit possible locations for our munitions dumps. Within about 5 minutes it's pretty clear we're going to get shafted.

I grab the SA-7, head to the nearest rooftop with a buddy with an RPG-7 and a guy nearby with some ammo. We wait for the chopper to come back, I get tone but before I can fire he bugs out. Loops back around for us, sees my squadmate with the RPG and takes him out. I'd had the sense to hide in a stairway (read: I ran like a little girl) so I survived.

I shoulder up again, I get tone, again the chopper flares and bugs out before I can get a solid lock.

He comes back again, this time I get smart and don't shoulder until he's *really* close- running at a tanget to me, about 15m up, straight and slow along the next road along strafing the piles of garbage and such, harassing a nearby squad of insurgents.

I shoulder the MANPAD. I get tone. Apache flares, I reaquire lock quickly, he's still slowly rising up and turning away. I *KNOW* I've got him bang to rights- he's moving slowly, directly away from me, I've got a solid lock, I fire...

...there's a click, a "WOOOSH!" of noise, and the missile completely and utterly fails to appear.

Apache flies off.

Me: "Uh... what happened? I should have had you squarely?!"
Apache pilot: "Yeaaaah... that was weird."

Buggy SA-7 :(

Server loads Bi Ming map.
Time to choose sqad.
Hmm, let me see, ah, "VOIP TW" squad - great !
Joins squad.

"Hello all"
No response.

"OK, where are we going to spawn ?"
No response.

Game starts. Everyone just rushes forward.

"Can you hear me ?"
No response.

Switching to desktop to test out my mic.
It works.

Typing into sqad-chat:
"Any1 got mic ?"
Guess what, no response.

Leaves server as there is no other speaking squad.

I think this completly fits into "Are you kidding me ?!?". However in a negative sense.

God, I wonder, why the hell somebody creates VOIP TW squad when he's not speaking and teamwork is is just another random work for him...

I was on Kashan Desert, and took a Vodnik to the road that leads away from the US Main base... I spotted a tank coming down the road, and he stopped to engage forces at the North Village... anyway, I put a mine underneath him and placed C4 in the front, after which I slowly backed away, getting ready to set off the C4. Right before I was about to (I was pretty close), something hit the front of the tank and exploded, killing me. Tank lived for another few moments.

I, too, have this problem often. I join a Voip squad and hear nothing. I yell at people, and get no response. I ask them if they hear me, no response. I ask them in squadchat if they hear me, NO RESPONSE. So, I don't even know if voip is working on the server or not, because either it is, and my squadmembers don't understand english, or it isn't working, and my squadmembers either can't read or don't understand english. Bonus points if the name of the squad is VOIP ENG.

Today, after inheriting SL, I kicked 5 people from a voip squad and left it, thereby dissolving it. If I just left, that squad would persist, as the lonewolves within would not care what the name was. Also, a memeber of that squad managed to get a sniper rifle before I even managed to set a waypoint....

I guess, that the squadleader was some kind of fool, who saw VOIP squads full all the time, so he made one too.

I was on iGi today, and VOIP didn't seem to work. My squadmates told me they were talking, I was talking, and we didn't hear each other.

Also, iGi carries servers over from last round. What this mean, is that squads tend to naturally degrade over time. First time a VOIP squad is created, you get a good SL. Then, when he leaves, someone else becomes SL, and the empty spot in the squad is filled up by a more retarded person. Then, the new SL leaves, and the same happens again. Eventually, you're left with a squad that is nothing like the original squad, but still retains the name.

Playing Kashan right now.
An F16 was taxiing and another F16 was coming in for re-arm.
The one coming in for re-arm saw the taxiing one at laaast second, after touching down, tried to pull up and over,
but no,
he failed.
We lost both.
Yay.

Just before, on Al Basrah

I was leading my squad towards an ammo dump location.

We hear the music from an insurgent vehicle.

I shout at my squad to get down (we're in a ditch).

No way the BIG RED EXPLOSIVE TRUCK could see us.

So one of my squad members stands up and shoots at it with his L85.

Guess what happened next ......

I despair.

Thats right no Squad Leader! If we just had a Blackhawk gun, A Bow and Arrow, And the ability to make traps, We'd have won it in 5 minutes.
