    I had a good laugh last night. We were on Port Val and I was on attack. Someone from our side tried to steal the defense's chopper and got killed. One of the defenders said "my chopper!" so i called a strike on the chopper. The timeing worked out perfectly that 2 people got in but couldnt take off fast enough.

    Isn't that the guy who always switches to the winning team?

    That should be a bannable offense.



    It just occurred to me that a game would be served well by giving people a certain number of team switches. Even if they reset that number be exiting the server and reconnecting, it is better than what it is now. You could work with the central server to make it so that they get X many per day.


    And team switchers can go to hell.

    In L4D you get one switch each game, it resets when you reconnect. It works beautifully, but that game does have a working server browser and friends list. Here, not so much.

    Although it would be a decent punishment that you would have to go trough browser, wait 10 min, ctd, restart, wait 10 min, browser, ctd, connecting....connecting...connecting...ctd...restart...joined!!! For each time you want to switch team more then once.

    Fairly often I try to switch to even the teams and it wont let me - it says you can't switch too often (even if I haven't switched before), and to try again in a few minutes.

    do people really care about their stats

    I run suicidally into too many situations in the hopes of something spectacular happening to bother with K/D ratio

    I mean really now, it's an e-penis aspect which really does not matter in this game

    Anything + V Reload is great!

    Does it speed up the cooling rate of guns that overheat, like the Blackhawk miniguns? I'm not sure how it works in those cases.

    The Win/Loss ratio is kinda telling. How much of a team player are they? I think mine is 1.4, and frankly I think I earned it. I have done a lot to help the team win.

    I think you can read a lot about a player from the detailed stats.

    Not really sure, to be honest. I'm also growing attached to UAVs with smoke launchers. Nothing like killing a sniper with a smoke grenade to the head.

    YZou can kill with the smoke grenade launcher? What?


    Also:
    They released detailed stats for the Sig-O-Matic. They're much more themed to what BC2 is about.

    I hate that you can't chat while dead. That's the only time you really have time to chat.

    And it's not like you can really warn your team while dead anyway.

    My favorite random kill so far was when I was knifing down a door to exit a building.

    Except the door stayed in place and I shived the guy on the other side of the door instead.

    Yeah I get that, and at up to the point where a server is full it makes sense as an excuse. But at the very basic level, why does it allow people to join a team which has 16 people already. Why doesn't it say "sorry the other team is full."

    15 v 10. Sure ok, autobalance is busted.

    19 v 13? Why is that even possible?

    I joined a full server and saw 23 vs. 9. And auto-balance is not "busted", it's simply non-existent. I disagree with a forced auto-balance, in games like counterstrike it's really disheartening to be forced to the opposite team when you've worked so hard to help that team win.

    I would LOVE to see the "Sorry, silly goose, the team you are trying to switch to is already full, how about you play medic for a while instead of recon."
