no more drive-by IEDs

ARghhh!, Nooo! that was the only thing that made Basrah fun for me!

Seriously, driving into the back gate of the airbase, blowing up a full Merlin on the pad and driving out the front gate is the most 1337 thing I have ever done in my pathetic life, don't take it away from me!!!

[Japub]

But it's not realistic that an insurgent bike gets into a camp. It's like uber-unrealistic I'm afraid.

Surely you'll find out some other 1337 thing to do.

[CodeRedFox]

If we could get the system working where dropping a IED while doing 60 MPH would bounce, roll, random detonations, and explode 98% time killing the biker as well we would.

[Scot]

WE ARE CURRENTLY AT OMG



Omg?!

What CodeRed said, it's highly unrealistic for an IED to be just dropped off a fast moving vehicle, place it carefully, it's so much more satisfying

[Outlawz7]

Yes waiting forever for something to come by and when it does, it notices the big fat pipe bomb and shoots you in the head for it, then goes on.

[mp5punk]

WHAT THE HELL DOES 1337 stand FOR@!

*rattle, rattle*

"Surely you'll find out some other 1337 thing to do."

I swear the developers are out to get me.

Here are the only things I can do in this game:

HAT snipe everything with the aid of an endless ammo bag - eliminated

Pwn everything with laser/marksman rifles - eliminated

Fire grenade launchers at targets 5 feet away and dive behind a tree - eliminated

Build firebases in the middle of nowhere and then single seat vodniks around the map and kill everyone with 50. cal/ running over - eliminated

bike bombing - eliminated

Maybe taking away bike bombing might not seem like much, but they have taken away EVERYTHING ELSE FROM ME! ARGHH!

I realized the other day that one of the big differences playing a mod vs a regular game is that you play with the developers. Somehow I secretly suspect every time I pwn them back to the stoneage they resolve to take out whatever feature I kill them with. ITS NOT FAIR! ITS NOT MY FAULT I'M SO GOOD! Please leave me bike bombing! Its all I've got left!

Its stand for leet, which is a bastardization of "elite" Which means I am special and better than you.

Ergh. That is so not the way to play PR. Everything you listed is unrealistic, therefore removed.

[Outlawz7]

Yes, every time someone finds a "workaround" around something, it gets nerfed with the incoming patch.

So I guess Muttrah will lose it's civi cars too, since everyone keeps running over each other with them or people driving enemies over with them will get penalized with kit bans or spawn times..?

[Fungwu]

"Ergh. That is so not the way to play PR. Everything you listed is unrealistic, therefore removed."

Have you ever seriously tried to play the game realistically?

"Alight guys follow me!"

"Wtf? explain to me how you can be following me by running ahead of me"

"For gods sake, stop staring at me, look for the enemy"

"Okay, I spotted the enemy, lets get closer and attack"

"Jesus!, get off that ridge! the whole map can see you!"

"Wtf? why are you firing, they are 300m away and don't see us? Now they know we are here"

"Okay lets get in a position to cover bob and we'll send him in"

"Wtf? you were supposed to cover bob? Did you see something shiny over there? why did you just run in by yourself without even looking? Damnit now your dead"

"Medic get back here! ARghh, you could have waited until we had you covered to go revive him, hell, you didn't throw any smoke and you ran into the open where a guy just got shot without and cover at all, what did you expect to happen?"

"Arghh, the whole squad is dead, woe is me"

[Rangu]

You're just unlucky mate!

Next time you play, let it be .85, join a serious server with mature rules!
- Join a squad named VOIP ENG, or VOIP TW or any other squad where they work together and use voip! When played as it's meant to be played, it's the best game ever.

Man, if that was the only thing that made basrah fun for you, you shouldnt play it.

Haha, I am only half serious, I do like being squad leader and doing serious squads. I play on tactical gamer server, I don't know of any better ones.

Unfortunately even good players are subject to a disorder where they see something shiny (rally point, firebase, enemy soldier, etc.) and go running after it without any regard for the rest of the squad or their own safety.

Players seem to have a nearly incurable urge to run around and get shot.

Here is a real life example:

(I am leading a 3 man squad in Muttrah city)

Me: Okay we are going to throw a smoke grenade in the road, wait for it to fill up and then run across. I'll throw the smoke, you guys watch my back while we wait.

(Squad member 1 runs across the road before I even throw the smoke, he then stands more or less in the middle of the road and fires his rifle)

Squadmember 1: I see a guy! I think I hit him! Arghh I'm down, wtf?

Me: sigh....

(The smoke fills up and I run across safely, I look across and see squad member 2 standing in the middle of the road and firing)

Squad member 2: I see a guy! I think I hit him! Arghh, I'm down, wtf?

Me: sigh....

Both guys were experienced players.

I call that having no skill. I can get plenty of kills and win games by playing properly in an organized squad (all random pubs who just happen to have VOIP). You seem to be the only one who clings to vBF2 one-man-army lameness.

[Rangu]

hmm, sarcasm and irony is a little bit tricky to get over the internetz. But hey, it's not the game, it's the players. You kinda went a little off topic with your own thread, try to play with organized guys, ppl you know play serious, start to ask for the pro guys' xfire!

You know what, you should join the PRT

[Psyko]

are we talking about the little semtex thingies, wot has wires taped into position with masking tape and a goofy timer that came off a car radio?

are we also talking about the retarded act of driving a scrambler into a coilition forces army base which is armed to the teeth with high tec weaponry?

and deploying this little plastic toy at rediculous speeds which will defenitly either hit hard concrete,tarmac or sand?

[Fungwu]

"I call that having no skill. I can get plenty of kills and win games by playing properly in an organized squad"

Pffft, I like getting 30 kills with a 5 or 10-1 kill ratio, wiping out squads and entire armored columns, and you can't do that with all the nerf weapons the devs have been handing to us.


"You seem to be the only one who clings to vBF2 one-man-army lameness."

Well Bike bombing in particular requires 2 players, but most of the other things I mentioned work best with 2 or more as well. I do have a good friend I like playing with and together we are like TWO one man armies, yes it is awesome.

"you kinda went a little off topic with your own thread"

The point of the thread is much like the point of my conduct in the game, to screw around and have fun. Surely the devs sense this and will axe this thread soon enough


"are we also talking about the retarded act of driving a scrambler into a coilition forces army base which is armed to the teeth with high tec weaponry?"

Yes, but you see a bike is regarded as so harmless that the coalition doesn't see it as a threat, therefore it is retarded like a fox, and thus brilliant.

"and deploying this little plastic toy at rediculous speeds which will defenitly either hit hard concrete,tarmac or sand? "

Well, why don't they just add an IED wrapped in bubble wrap, and maybe with one of those little parachutes that come with the parachuting plastic army men?

I'm not sure if I should laugh out loud or ban you forever
