Hostile slick inbound, over!

Hej.
My guess I should do one of those post things. Well I don't exactly have much to write about really, kinda down atm, can't really be bothered to do much or write anything. Been playing copious amounts of BF2, i'm now a Staff Sergeant. I've got a few decent awards and stuff now, trying to get the Veteran combat badges for each class, and stuff like knife and pistol combat. I love the G36E unlock for Medic, it's really powerful and more accurate than the Spec Ops' G36C, if a bit worse at close quarters because it's burst instead of semi-auto. You get tons of points as medic, and it's fun reviving people. Been playing with a few regulars, they're really good; and it's so much more fun with talking and a good squad. It's quite suprising actually how few people use VOiP on it, because it's a ton faster than typing and allows far, far more complex strategies than using the Q command or the squadleader just placing an attack or defend marker on the map and everyone dumbly running along to the spot.
Once we were defending a flag on Dalian Plant, and an enemy tank rolls in. I was the only Anti-Tank in the squad, the rest were Spec Ops and Medics. I fired a SRAW at it (takes about 3 to kill one) to distract it, while the others C4ed it.
Also it's a ton easier to do stuff like get a good Blackhawk setup with VOiP, you get mostly ignored if you tell people what to do by typing.

Funzorz. I got the Special Forces expansion pack with BF2, but I haven't played very much of that; most of the maps are 'meat grinder' tightly-packed city ones where it's just like spawn-death from sniper-spawn-artillery on your head-spawn in front of a tank-spawn-assault rifle magazine unloaded in your face... Whichever dumbass decided we needed grunt-combat-time needs to be beaten.

On another note, I finished my month trial of Eve Online, and I decided not to subscribe. I don't really want to spend that much dosh on a game, and it was kinda slow anyway. I didn't like how when you buy a new part for your ship you also need to buy and then wait hours for the skill(s) to train before you could use it.

See you!
