The main problem was that whatever could go wrong WENT wrong.
I practiced a fair bit of time for this match only to lag all the way through the 3 rounds (couldn't do anything but try to cap flags and throw grenades), our team had a couple of noobs filling in for the guys who were missing/no-showed and we were outnumbered (8 to 6), plus our strategies weren't really thought through. That was like the first time we all played in the same team, so...yeah . It's weird how on a public server you can work as a team with strangers but then on a clan it's hard to follow as planned with no practice. For the record, I'm not having a jab at anyone.

On a public server, if you have a good team, you dominate. Normally on public servers its a mix of good and bad people. The team with the most bad people end up losing, even if 6 of the 16 are fantastic, the other 10 could drag them down.

On maps as big as BF, you need the full amount of players, having people not there is just pitiful on their part. Not being able to practice together is obviously a downfall, but you spread out so much in that game, that you don't really need to practice together. You all just need to know what routes to take, how to communicate, and how to have a plan before the round starts. You also need a head man that knows how to adapt to what the other team is doing, and tell the team how to adapt to it aswell.

Even something as simple as (this is for Oman):

2 people in attack chopper
1 in jet
1 going straight to D, then uses AA.
1 in Tank go to C.
1 in Light tank (or APC) to B.
2 covering B or C, with the ability to have a push on A when available.

Keeping control of what is in the air and vehicles on the ground is important. Having a man on AA at D, and also having B for the AA is important. No sniper is ever needed. Instead you need engineers, and people to use tracer darts for all the vehicles on the ground.

That's a very simplistic plan there, but you get the point. Many things have to be pretty detailed in order to know how to get it done. Sometimes being unpredictable is your best bet. It might be considered "nooby", but thats what all the losers say.

Count me In as backup for the next match, as assault class.

can't we just learn from what they did? I think hiding motion sensors on an enemy base and then using smoke grenades for ambushes was a genius idea. Plus the claymores and the hiding behind ledges, that caught me out plenty of times.

exactly, it was genius shame we didnt think of it

true that if we get another sniper into the team, that could work well. they had 2 snipers doing separate jobs, one placed tha claymores and the other threw the motion sensors. I think that's why they didn't catch A in the first 3 matches, just dropped the ball there and went away

new map
it sucks

More like it's awesome. Any map that isn't like Sharqi or Basra is good.

Geez, all these people want is vehicles... Sharqi and Basra are pretty good for trolling around with grenades and the knife, that's as fun as blowing the other team up with an APC or Attack heli.

EDIT: Besides, Dragon Valley is crashing on my game so it's good to still have the other maps working.

if you can actually get the little bird it is very swift and all but if it was windy I think you would crash LOL

i like dragon valley. suits my sniper :P

bunch of noobs LOL

hax i tell you.

It's really hard with the new overpowered chopper. [/sarcasm]

Are you referring to the littlebird?
It's even harder now that the developers got the players to spend a month playing just to level up (from 20 to 21).

Bird? I said chopper

But were you referring to the smaller helicopters in the latest map (Dragon Valley) or the other ones before?
(Sorry for being thick)

it is not very hard. but still I had to take out the enemy attack helo, jets and armor while Rui was taking bases. Otherwise he would be dead :P

Nein, I ment the AH64 with the new updates. If you max out the trainingpoints for it, it's just ridiculously overpowered on Oman and DV. All the ground-units are green dots on your screen, same with all vechiles etc. I think it even can see ground-units thru the walls.

Ah, ok. But to be honest, the AH-64 has been an overpowered helicopter since the MIL-28's hellfires stopped working on vehicles.

I think I'll only be able to see which one's better when the bugs on both helicopters are sorted out, because when you have a heli that makes your game freeze if you look behind and then another heli whose hellfires only work on infantry, it's a bit hard to pick a favourite :/

They still haven't fixed it?

That seem to only happen on certain servers, at least for me.
