How about some AA that actually works worth a damn. Give me the hand held,
none guided stingers from Desert Combat, and I'll give you a boat load of
dead choppers.

I think it's sad when the best AA option is the 50 cal on the HUMVEEs and
Vodniks

Learning how to fly a jet and bomb a tank takes about a day. Hell, all you
go to do it go real high then dive down, soften the target up with your
gatling gun and then release your bombs so they land approx
together......its the splash damage from both bombs that will take out the
tank....no need to be precise.

Wanna know the best way to take down a jet? Get into one and get dogfighting
i.e. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION...NOT Usenet bitching.

The ground AA turrets only serve the purpose to scare jets away / give the
pilot a bloody nose.

You'll probably find most people CAN'T get in them due to half the team
standing around at the runways and chopper pads teamkilling anyone who walks
slightly close.

Play on servers where this is not tolerated.

I chuckle when I see an astute enemy commander arty the airfield and mow
down the chopper and plane whores.

You know EA still has still not figured out the "teamwork" bug.

The only thing I ever see not being tolerated is being better then the
admin/s. This is the only thing in BF2 that will get you kicked. Cheating
is safer then killing someone more then once who has power. It is like
beating your boss at ANYTHING, it is unforgivable.

When you join a game, the first thing that comes up is the 'role' menu,
you know, Assault, Support, Medic, etc. I always hit caps-lock at that
point to see what the squad situation is.

The squad menu should be the first thing up to encourage squadding.

Oy! Don't tell everybody my super-sekrit way of fighting!!11eleven!

I especially love to see the enemies running to the supply crate I
dropped right in the middle of the runway - seconds before the arty
impacts

I see people playing in squads all the time. But they're sadly playing
*in* squads, not *as* squads. You can lead them to the water, but you cant
make them drink it.

People not interested in teamplay still join squads just so they get the
extra mobile spawn point of their squad leader. They may not listen/follow
to their squad leader, and he may (usually) not care, but it's still worth
it to them to join a squad because when they die, their squad leader may be
close to some skirmish worth spawning in at.

And people like to create squads instead of joining already established
ones just so they can a squad leader and have the ability to call for
supplies - especially the snipers for when they run out of ammo. If people
join their one-man squads, these leaders could care less.
