I appear to be hopelessly addicted to this game. I haven't played a game this much since... well probably Smash Bros and Perfect Dark on the N64. Used to do 10-hour multiplayer sessions on those... ah good times...
Anyway, joined a sort of unofficial clan, TUS or The Usual Suspects. Shout out to Snake, Revan, Doodle, BigMick and the rest. It's a lot of fun; we do stuff like one us nabs a plane at the start and parachutes into the enemy uncap base, then we spawn on them and proceed to wreak baseraping havoc. We snipe them out of their chopper on the helipad or while they're waiting for a plane, c4 the assets, lay claymore traps and try and nab the chopper or tank. A lot of the time the people we kill get really pissed off and come and get us in force, while the commander is wasting UAVs and artillery on us- but most of the time we survive through hotswapping the squadleader so we can always spawn. It's so funny having like 5 or 6 guys coming back time and time again to try and get us, but they can't stand up to 4 sniper rifles from hidden hillsides... :D
Patch 1.2... ugh. Basically choppers are fucked; their armour is super-weak now and AA missiles are massively improved in terms of accuracy and lock-on time. Also the attack chopper's rockets payload is reduced to 8x4 from 14x4 and TV-Guided Missile range is reduced. Planes are also subject to weaker armour, dogfights are now just whoever gets behind and a missile lock. Blackhawks and Cows are next to useless as they're the slowest aerial vehicle and the guns are crap now as well. It's just ridiculous that noobs can hop in an AA and take down pilots so easily who had to spend hours getting good. AA needed to be improved, but not that much. Really annoying, as I was just getting good at the attack chopper, I mean it's still ok, you just die a lot more, and I can't play Super Blackhawk Midair Repair Man anymore, it's too weak now. :(
Good bits about the patch are that mines don't activate from teammates, and there is a great new sniper rifle I want to get. Still love the G36C and E.
Played Special Forces a bit more and i'm finding it better now that i've learned the maps and found some decent snipe holes and where enemies will be coming from etc. I like defending the back stairs on Devils Perch, you have like 30 seconds to kill people trying to get up them (easy) and if they get past then they can taste some c4! Also I found a good sniping spot on Ghost Town; on a bank overlooking a couple of flags, you can get some good shots and it's far enough away so they don't often know where you are.
Okay that's it for now.
See you!

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!
