Team Balance

2 words…seems simple enough..  99% of games have it and it works…   Bad Company 2 ? Not so much.

Seems like the more fun I am having, the more of a chance that, come next round, I will be on a team of 5-8 against 12-16 for one reason or another. Of course, nobody on the opposing team wants to switch..  and when ya ask, OMG they go off like you just asked to fuck their girlfriend.  (my bad, these fags probably don’t have girlfriends)

I thought that the connection issues were bad..  now that they seem to be fixed (for me), I get the joy of unbalanced teams and the smaller team getting raped by the bigger. Not cool at all.

Another “not cool” thing…   trying to get a good scope for the sniper rifle…  I fucking HATE the beginner scope as it is worthless to me against anyone but beginners.

Lastly, hey JROCK, if you are reading this.. STOP REVIVING ME IN FRONT OF ENEMIES !!!  Kill them first and then worry about me. Sure you get points but it just adds another death to me..   I love ya man but if ya keep doing it, I am gonna have to bow out of playing with ya.

No Rest For The Wicked

Was playing Bad Company 2 most of the night..  in multiplayer and, again, in single player although I am having a hell of a time finding all the hidden M-Coms in single player. Guess I will have to try harder. Hahaha

Clan KSA was doing it up on a couple servers but, as always, I am a slow starter and still have to figure out the maps enough to really play very well. Not to mention I need more unlocks open so I can actually fight back with any real effort. (Also would help if there were not 1000 snipers on every match)

The game does have many pitfalls in my eyes. Some can be overlooked but there are some that are just too great to be ignored. Connectivity is one of them. The fact that the game seems almost based around sniping is another although, to be frank, it was not Dice’s plan to create a “camp fight” game but, sadly, for the most part that is what has happened.

Also, if you are on a mostly empty server, say 1 on 1, and you are not an assault class, you are screwed..   unless you die, once you run out of ammo you are done unless you happen to take out the enemy and then you are stuck with scrounging his kit to play with and hoping he has anything worth playing with. There should be a way to get ammo besides trying to find someone in game to give you some.  “Teamplay” is truly at a minimum in the game unless you are in a clan so the “asking for ammo and health” thing simply does not function as designed or hoped for. And God forbid you are on the Russian side and the people do not have it set to English voice overs..  then they have no idea what you are saying or asking for to begin with.  (Not that people seem to care)

Frankly, in games and if possible, I will ask for ammo and health and, if after a couple times people do not aid me, I TK them. (TK = team kill.. i.e. kill a teammate)   It all comes down to 3 words… “DO YOUR JOB !”

It all comes down to stupid people. Still no cure for people who hop in a vehicle you are in and just drive the fuck off.  *rolls eyes*

Stupid Stupid Me

So I decided today to just go ahead and but that piece of shit game Bad Company 2.  While I cannot call it a mistake, I CAN say that I was not wrong about it..   at ALL !

There is so much wrong with it…   mainly revolving around the connectivity and server browser but, once in a game, involving the asshats and spoiled 9 year olds playing the game.

Of course, always nice to have a team of 16 with 9 snipers…  :/  Then you have asshats who jump in a truck and drive off (usually straight into the path of a tank)…. WHILE you are on the turret on top defending an objective.  Then, of course, God forbid you need ammo or health cause you are most likely NOT going to get it.  Ask all ya want, it just is NOT going to happen.  This game is about teamwork right ? That is what Dice stated many times. Well, yet again, let me just say you failed miserably.

Then the map changes..  ahhh Port Valdez, a map I know from the beta so I know what I am doing here..   I do my thing, within seconds of dropping into the game I am in the enemy camp, killed 2 and have now armed the objective..   then I die. (not a rare occurrence)

I repeat this about 4 times and wonder “why the fuck does it feel like I am alone in this ?”  

I saw guys so I know I have teammates..  wtf ?  Ohhhhhhhh, during map change, somehow it become 7 against 16 with my team only having 7.  I ask for them to even out teams..  and they replied..  “Play harder”   Grrrrrrrrrrr

So now, somehow, the enemy team got BOTH our tanks (not a clue in hell how the fuck this happened) and every single one of them are on our sniper hill..   except the 2 tanks full of people on our roadways…   spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn, die…  esc., rage quit.  How the fuck is that fun ?

Nice work on this piece of shit Dice..   hope ya didn’t work too hard to make it.  I am assuming you didn’t.
