i hate problems with teamkillers. one time there was some noob on my team who would just sit at our spawn point and teamkill every1 who spawned. finally, after he racked up several hundred negative points, i got pissed and shot him a few times as a warning. he then killed me and i was kcked for "excessive teamkilling"...

EJOD desert, my tank was leading a "convoy" consisting of an apc and a hummv. We were in a tight column as we passed what seemed like an unoccupied vodnik. a mg gunner suddenly popped out of the vodnik turret when the convoy is no more than two metres away from the vodnik. I put a heat round into the side of the vodnik and it exploded into a million pieces as expected.

However, what was not expected was that my heat round wiped everyone out inside my tank (including me), as well as the apc and the HMMV. What was even more unexpected was that our vehicals were completely unharmed yet everyone inside was dead.

I feel weird because this literally happened not so long ago, I have cooled down a little though.

I spawn and find a squad, silently rejoicing that the small sound in my ear is a human voice and people are talking. I spawn at a RP near our entire force and follow members of my squad (I have gotten kinda used to SMs and SLs spawn sprinting). During the attack another flag gets hit and our SL decides to takes us over to recapture it.

At some point in the middle of all this I get tagged and bleed to death (I fumbled my band-aid down the side of a mountain). I ask where to respawn. I'm told I can respawn on the Squad Leader's APC. I spawn. The Voip goes nuts and the SL is telling me to get off the position I am now occupying and the "I can't help where i am because I spawned there" explanation isnt working. I get out and the APC moves away. I then get shot by a lone marine on my way to the objective.

I get hit with this dilemma... do i start spawning half a map away and die traversing mountain or do I follow advice and spawn on the APC again?

Needless to say after 3 APC spawns followed by 1 death through lone wolf snipe, 1 death from leaving a moving vehicle and 1 server departure resulting from and 3 tellings off, I left.

I am hoping that becoming a SL myself might help otherwise Vanilla seems very appealing right now.

So I'm helping to defend the oil storage Al Kufrah Oilfield and I decided to lay mine at both east entrances. Pretty SOP affair. First a tank roles through and despite his gunners warning roles right over my mines and gives me a -22 score. Ok donkey turds happen and the gunner's tottaly on my side. Not a minute later some other vehicle roles over my other set of mines and gets me kicked from the server. I just hung my head and sighed...

I know this is kinda OT but i gotta tell this story. The other day while playing Mercenaries for PS2 i set up a huge stack/row of car and tanks and what not to blow to bits. Ok so I'm all set to see some big booms and what not and so i call in the air strike for effect...then B00M!! But i begin to notice a almost laggy wave of chared flaming cars flying towards me and i begin to run. Then all the cars catch up to me and wack me to death. From explosion to death was only about 15 seconds so it happened rather quick. On top of that the last time i saved was like 1 hour before that so i had to do many missions over again...but i laughed very hard at all this.

Today I'm playing Basrah in a squad devoted solely to carbombing - at one point we attacked the British VCP with four bombcars at once. I spawn at the palace as an insurgent with an ambusher kit. I grab a bike, load it with c4, and head out. I speed through the street at max speed banging into all kinds of cars and barriers on the way, and make my way over to the village area. I spot a couple of Brits, mow one of them over and then somehow smash a concrete wall down with my bike. At this point my bike is smoking. I get onto the main road, heading towards VCP, and see an enemy Warrior in the distance. I get off the road to the right side. I'm going full speed ahead. As I see the warrior coming up on my left side, I swing out and turn all the way left. My bike flies up the ramp, flips an entire 180 degrees through the air, slams into the side of the Warrior and blows both of us up.

The great thing is that I got this on FRAPS, but I'm wondering - does the TV2 server have BattleRecorder?

Nothing in the world like Basrah bomb bike.

does the c4 blow when you smash the vehicle or dont you have to get out and detonate it?

Hehe, Spartan, once you carbomb enough those kinds of things become commonplace.

I remember my proudest jihad, I was driving my carbomb and I fly over a little hill, land on a tank and blow up. It was just so Dukes of Hazard.

Edit: I just remembered a better one. It was Qwai river, and the server only had 20 or so people in it, so I thought "What the hell, I'll get the Chinese copter"

So I'm flying around and I spot a LB, I chase it all around the map and shoot it down, I wait a bit, then another one comes. So I'm chasing this one down, but he's trickier, he leads me to an APC that starts tearing into me. so again, I think "Might as well go for it" I turn and dive straight for it, guns blazing. TO my amazement, after I blew up my wreckage landed on and blew up the APC.

I have plenty of those moments.

Probably the worst:

I join a server playing Kashan. Yay! 32 player version with choppers! So I also find someone I had played with before who is probably the best pilot I have seen. We team up, I am in the gunners seat. Off we go and proceed to own enemy armour. But, this was one of the weirdest games I have played, a heli spinning in circles in our base, and a tank crashing into walls like he was blind, the rest of the team god knows what they were doing, it was surreal. Anyway, we are off owning (the enemy team was probably much the same) and all of a sudden I am looking at the "you will respawn in 30s" screen. Trying to work out what that was I look up in the top left corner, oh great we got teamkilled. Oh well.

We spawn back at base and get another chopper after a while, and off we go again. We are hunting around and I say:
"Wait, enemy vehicle, looks like an APC"
"Roger that, take a shot"
So I look on the map to check if it is friendly, nothng there.
Right then "fireing!"
I fire a TV missile, get closer and closer and I see it is a loaded commander truck, complete with commander and most of a squad.
BANG!
Yes! I think to myself, then I hear over VOIP: "Oooh wow"
That is when I look up in the corner and notice I have just taken out OUR teams commander truck.

After that we went on, and got teamkilled again.
2 deaths in that round, both teamkills, is it that hard to tell the difference between the Cobra and the MEC chopper?

Also, doing an almost perfect landing in the merlin, and having it slowly roll on its side.

I have found this can happen alot, and if you jump out of the helicopter, it stays upright, but if you stay inside trying to control it, it rolls.

-Not as much a "are you kidding me" moment as a "I pwn" moment. Playing Qwai River today, Chinese side(And Brits afterwards, pwned both times) and holding on to River Fort with the SOE squad. Brits were sending out their Warriors in droves(How many do they have?), camping next to the bridge. I was playing as engineer and our whole team was suppressed on the fort so I went over to the western side, threw down the grapple and moved towards the bridge, barely dodging bullets all the way. I run up behind the Warrior and C4 the rear then run away. As I turn around to watch the spectacle three guys jump out of the warrior and I detonate the C4. One guy flies into the air, the other two go into the river and the woods, funny sight.
-Then I hear a second warrior approaching in the distance and try to get back to the fort, but it's on me too quick so I turn around to find cover. I then think to myself "He will try to run me over" and so I make myself visible to him before I duck into cover. I hear the warrior approaching slowly from behind the small ditch I'm in, then I take out my mine, throw it on the ground in front of me and wait. There come the tracks... the chassis... It will tilt soon... BOOM! I took out about 5 or 6 warriors during that game, all but the former with C4 in much the same way as the latter one. Also ran around a Saxon when a couple of guys popped out, we just stared at each other for a second, then they turned around, I start shooting at one of them, the others panic(I think one shot his teammate...) and I bag me some kills. Wierd event, much like when you run past someone in the street and moments later you think "Wasn't he on the other team?"

It is when you are high up in the air, nearing the limit of TV missile range and even after looking on the map to see if it was ours.

Leo · Post by **Leo** » 2007-07-26 15:01

I think those two TKs were from friendly AA missles that lost track of the enemy and decided to track you instead.

Also, I was messing around with BR and was watching some guy trying to take out an A-10 with an SA-7 (back in .5) So he shoots a missile at the A-10, is in the South-Eastern-most corner of the mainland (across the water from palace on a roof). He shoots he misses, then I follow the missile with BR. It goes straight up, does a 90 degree turn west, another 90 degree turn North, then one west again, then another one where it goes straight down and another one where it levels off. Finally the last 90 degree turn straight down, BOOM, nails a cobra and shoots it down over village. Too bad the shooter will never know his amazing stroke of luck.

On Tactical Gamers, Kashan - I target a Frogfoot, fire both missiles, Frgfoot evades (probably cos of ping) and the missiles decide to shoot down the friendly F16, whos pilot was in the same squad as me...lol

I was on Zatar the other day, total cluster F on the MEC side, all our armor was gone, but i was leading a great squad defending the lower flag (forgot the name, the CP in the lower South-West corner of the map before crossing over to the USMC end of the wetlands).

Anyways we are getting raped by an APC on a hill to the West with a dominating vantage point a zero cover to hide from it aside from a few statics at the CP, and an a-10 kept strafing us, and steadily enemy USMC would trickle in through holes in the walls and try and snuff us out but we would beat em back, but no way to break cover and take out their RP's, basically we're doomed.

There was a last ditch call for supplies and seemed to take forever to drop. I was sure it would get shot down before we could get to it, but as it closed to about 15 or 20 meters above the ground the greedy A-10 came around for another pass at our helpless asses and BOOOM! exploded in midair as it crashed into the supply drop parachute >=)

we still got crushed and routed, but that made us laff

Assault on Mestia:
We were advancing toward the Storage Bunker as British, I was inside my squad's APC, we stopped for a second for SL to set a Rallypoint, suddenly the militia fire on us from another side of the mountain, I take cover behind the apc and wait for them to be identified on map before I pop my head..I make my way to the side of the APC and search for enemies..then suddenly..I'm dead and I'm like 'what the fuck'

The APC jumped to the air, rolled over and crushed me, what a horrible death..and whats funny?the Militia did not throw grenade or anything..the APC driver was puzzled aswell

Al-Basrah:
I was British, searching for weapon caches with my squad, suddenly we spot in that bomb-truck from distance, we open fire on it hoping to kill it before it blows us.
We're firing..its coming..we're still firing..its still coming! people began to panic on VoIP..I emptied 3 mags of M4 on him and hes still coming..suddenly the dreaded star wars cantina music begins playing and its a huge explosion..
