weekend of 2142

Well after a weekend of mainly 2142, I’ve got a few rank ups, a few badges and generally mixed feelings towards to the community that plays.

My nick is matt40k (durr) and my PID is 99014853.

Currently it appears EA’s lovely stats webpage isn’t up-to-date. Generally I’ve hit major dieing streak with was followed up by generally good few rounds, over 2:1 kill to death ratio. Hopefully it’s made up for my major death streaks!!

I a bit narked off with general idiots, ie the medic who doesn’t revive nor heal you, the support guy who doesn’t give you any more ammo, and the guy who wastes the entire game on the AA gun or c4 everything in the enemy’s base.

We’ll for once I joined a server mid battle and rather then trying to take the points I stayed on the titan, server was moving so it was rather good for killing :D . And ofcourse, this meant all the good stations were taken. I, however, was an engineer, so I was hopping on the rear AA gun firing the odd aircraft down, but mostly repairing the others, 88 assist points later, I was near the top of the board and we just lose (don’t really care, I just like the points!!).

To futher my n00bish actions I proceed to unlock the lambert, simply because I had previously nicked it from a n00b who walked into my drone and got shot to sh1t, and I loved it. Cr@p at range, but close up in titan matches it was deadly.

Now if I could only get over my n00bish quirk of not switching weapon when I’m being shot at. Basically on BF2 I used the scroll wheel to “randomally” select my weapon of doom, I did get pretty good at it (not sure if I still am, I’ve yet to install it since reinstalling many moons ago), anyway, for some reason I seem to run and hide whilst still holding the medic pack or whatever, at least I do deploy the drone pointing in the right direct, the same can be said for clays, however in most cases pushing 3 (or 2 for engineer) would have be MUCH better.
