Tales from Battle: fun, sweat, tears, and laughs
BF2MC
The first time I have ever played online was on the PS2 console for a game called BF2MC. Its basically a scaled downed copy of BF2 for the ps2 with less than appealing graphics, horrible ai in campaign, but a massive online multiplayer with the same things in BF2. Now the game itself is not worth buying or bothering for its single player, but the multplayer is the most sought after like all BF games. The first day I played online for BF2MC, the action was really faced paced! I mean fucking jedi fast! One nano second your spawned on a flag, the next nano second your dead and the whole team is losing! It took time to get used to, my reflexes needed to be sharp, my hearing perfect, attention level perfect, and concentration so acute that I can literally rush to an infested flag point and kill all around me! Seriously! I was on edge like my heart was pumping, sweat coming out my forehead, and slightest noise just sets me in a startled panic!(Especially if you got a chopper on ya ass punding away with rockets, arty raining down on ya, sniper waiting to pick ya off, and the rush of tangoes on my spot!). This was on a map called Backstab, the de_dust of BF2MC maps. The whole map consisted of one base on the bottom left hand of the map and vice versa for the OPFOR. The whole rest of it was desert and a village which was to be fought over in the middle. I couldn't recount so many times me and the whole team and I gets pinned downed inside a mosque or another building that has a second floor. All around was an army of tanks, choppers( stolen of course), and arty and mortar strikes on top of us while team after team was rushing in each time getting killed but lowering our ticket count which was the amount of points of life for a team. The whole map was taken over! Almost all the flag points, and lonely us had a building and base thats crawling with tangoes stealing our choppers.
The problem is...brains, guts, aim(lol spray fest) and most of all team work! There has not been a game I played from then and now that so many are uncoordinated, uncooperative, unmotivated, bunch of tards that fights for a chopper and starts a tker fest! LOL!! When the game starts, the first bunch rushes to the hummers drives off running over some guy who spawned in the wrong place, while two other people are shooting at the driver for a ride or revenge! The other bunch of tards about seven or four( rarely and dreadfully) the whole team tries to ride and get a ride in the two choppers. The choppers has a capacity for four people with eight for two, half the team gets on while the other half kills the pilot or puts C4 on the chopper because they wanted a ride or pilot it. In otherwords, a kick vote war occurs, revenge killings til finally the whole team starts killing each other till the enemy fucking takes over the whole map and got us surrounded! LOL!! The world just ended, shells, missiles , bullets are fucking killling everyone half of it still from our team, tanks are all over the place, snipers just killing everyone, people getting blown in to the sky just mazing! LOL Then there are the guys that are everywhere and nowhere! The game starts then these guys about in groups of 2 to to 4 and rarely 6 goes off all over the place finding a glitch in far corner of the map, two are tking each other back at the base, while the 3 or 4 are racing all over the map with jeeps! All the while, the whole team is losing because where out numbered, lost half of the maps spawns and got pinned in a spawning building in the center of a map. Talk about teamwork better yet playing a SHOOTING game! Then there are the jackers that steals your ride and kills you, arty call whores that races you to the radio for arty stikes and kills you for it, health whores who always are noobs that constantly plays medic/machine gunner that pumps himself up with health, campers who are snipers that are just hiding in the most annoying far off spots, and finally the most hated! TEAM KILLERS!!!
Team killers or tkers in gaming lingo are players who gets off grief by killing their own team members and causing as much mayhem on their own team as possible. These are either noobs who goes off in a vendetta after you for "stealing his ride" at which you kill him and kick him, or seasoned veterans of tkers who randomly shows up in a game to cause havoc. Now, these guys are the worst since they provoke you into shooting them and you get kicked if you kill them or they really can get the team heated and start a civil war which basically one side of a team is hunting the tker, the other side thinks other are tkers, more tker shows up and tk some more which basically confuse the heck out of every one till the enemy just surrounded the base! There so many fail online play that I cont even play for a whole week because of these guys. Love em hate them...to me just makes me laugh and cry at the same time.
Not all the time it was such a bad experience in BF2MC. There are days I'm online and found myself playing all night to the next day because of good players and veterans who really takes the game seriously and coordinate. The whole team would usually spawn and rush to the choopers half on board the other in jeeps to take the spawns points overlooking the village below them, while the team parachutes down to the village on the two spawn points and use the helicopters to kill tanks that are rushing to the village. By the time we the village and the hill secure facing the village, half the enemy team in hummers and tanks were dead and only one spawn point was left just outside the enemies base. From there on, it was a cake walk to base rape! just a a quarter of the enemy was defending the spawn point , they didnt even bother to send tanks or anybody since our choppers and snipers were killing practically anyone that came out of their base. We captured the last spwan, and a enjoyable base rape of epic win occurs. Everyone just loves running over some fuck who spawned in the wrong place or just rampaging with a tank just killing everyone in the base and not one has nothing to do about it! That there is the shit, BF2MC is probably now long dead but memories of it and the people I made friends or enemies with I say: GOOD DAY tea bagging you all and all a good frag!
