Whenever somebody went afk, auto fob dig and rush the next flag.

Damn you guys make this game sound terrible now. Is it even still worth playing?

This is a nostalgia thread, in other words quite possibly the single worst place you could ask that question

I think it is still worth playing (and has some major improvements from when I was playing most regularly). But, I think the community's quality has gone down - not in terms of skill or even co-operation (for the most part), but in the kind of cac-handed bigotry that goes down in a lot of sessions.

I never expect PR to be one of those "safe space" things, but maybe "gaskikes" shouldn't be an approved squad name, at least.

There was a lil Server called Tactics & Teamwork.

1024x768.

Cantina music.

Friendly familiar faces in the squad that just went like clockwork.

Good times... Goooood times

actually they were removed because they were overpowered in certain scenarios from what I remember. They were **** for hitting mountains and buildings if they hit the roof, but they would basically flatten entire compounds and kill the cache in Kokan, or completely destroy north/south village on Kashan.

Haha man, there is so much back in the day stuff in there I don't even know where to start.

JDAM? Mumble Overlay? GDC Stream? Ghostwolf?

I don't remember MEC having a rail on their G3's - must have been while I was away.

Back in my day, we had molotovs and ziplines

Molotovs where the shit on Fallujah.

And the way they bugged out APCs!

Back in my day, we had no fancy missiles

I really miss them. Artillery just doesn't seem to have the necessary punch. It would be nice if we had a smaller blast radius JDAMs.
