Don't say that out loud! You're breaking security protocol!

Yeah, the "how quick can we get banned" game is pretty fun. Usually it comes down to not whose breaking the 'rules', but who can kill an admin the most.

I assure you, Yoss and I will periodically find the dumbest server messages possible.

"No Shootguns" was one of them.

I just played on a NO SHOTGUNS server the other night. The admin was banning people for using the 830 and spas, but was running around with a USAS.

I seriously hate having to deal with pubby admins.

I want to rent a server one day just to put the server message as a wall of text of every gun in the game is not allowed except for like the G17. Maybe make it "24/7 Op Fuckaround 500% tickets!!!!! Must stay on mountain or you will be BANNED!!!! "

When the hell do you and Yoss play anymore? I still remember the first few times I played online was with the two of you. First time you both ridiculed my name, second time you accepted it and started calling me Malloy.

I have been out of town for all of July basically, and it's budget season + school-startin' time in August so I haven't spent too much time online, but when I do it'll be between 8 and midnight Eastern, I can usually convince Rage to pop on too.

The usual reply is that you can add a bunch of us via battlefield goons
maybe use the "most recently seen in-game" ?

I did a similar thing months ago and got a bunch of other goons to gently caress around with.

I play about once a week when Yoss finally convinces me; I spend most of the time yelling and not having fun unless its a badmin server. Then we have fun being twats.

LTA is not dead, people are just rolling with different gang tags to lull the pubbies. Also, battlelog is quite useless so I don't think anybody checks it unless they want to show off their sweet Metro scores.

is the motherfucking answer


I'm late to this joke but I saw a server message the other day that said "Shotguns are allowed...for pussies". So delightfully

The reason I've been playing a poo poo load of hardcore is because I'm grinding out medals and mastery dog tags. It's way easier to do 500 kills with mediocre weapons when bullets actually kill people.

I'm sick in the head though. The other day I slogged out my melee medal by refusing to use anything but my knife for the 20 something medals I needed. This morning I did my stationary medal by getting in the anti air and leaning the controller on its joystick for a couple high ticket matches. SOMEBODY STOP ME. I'm grinding out my Recon Service hours and Spawn Beacon medals now. I'm so close but I don't even really give a poo poo about those things!

I'm sorry, guys. It's not you. It's this game. I'm just sad that I didn't end up enjoying BF3 as much as BFBC2. And I'm pretty much resigned to just waiting for the next game. This weekend I'm going over to a friend's who plays on PC, and we're installing the beta of some free-to-play game called "PlanetSide 2" on our laptops and trying it out. It's supposedly similar to Battlefield. Yes, I'm BootCamping loving Windows 7 onto my loving laptop so I can play a f2p mmofps. See what you've done, DICE?

I played PS1 for a while when they had some f2p promotion that limited your rank. Was pretty fun, aside from the big battles that just became huge glitchy lag parties (though that's as much to do with my terrible connection and pc at the time). But the futuristic setting just doesn't really do it for me.

It's my hope that one day, rips off is inspired by PS, and creates a battlefield mmofps, where my pubbie killing efforts are rewarded by some degree of persistence in the gameworld, and instead of 11 pubbie team mates to scream obscenities at for their incompetence (both real and imagined), it'll be hundreds or thousands!

Also, as was mentioned previously, I'd be down for an evening of BC2 sometime. At least when I actually have time to play shootymans.

Because I've done everything there is to do in that game and only a few goons are still playing it. More the former, honestly. I guess that's lovely of me or whatever, but I like having meta-objectives to work toward while stomping all over pubs. In BFBC2, I am max level with 100% award completion and max unique gold stars. I guess I could try to platinum every weapon or something, but that's not much. And the latter applies to. It's like you can never go home again. I'll never again be able to come home from work, turn on BFBC2, jump into a full party, and start shooting the poo poo with xbros while I 870 magnum slug wookiees from 300m. It will just make me sad to find two servers of 8 on 8 and three maximum possible goons.

Holy poo poo that was one of the worst teams I've ever played with, broke every cardinal rule (give enemy your tanks durrah) and then never bothered to get it back, break out, or do anything that didn't involve a 12x scope, just terrible. Pablo goon Spoobie(?) and I were the only ones mot sniping

Just one question, though. Is there a way to take off my pants?

My 360 locked up on that game of Metro on Pope's server. Good kills with HML, thenicko, drekins3, JihadJoe, Ahnuld, and Piti.

Found the worst server ever. It was 24/7 Canals with the description 'NO RPGS KILL HELICOPTER NO TANKS SHOOT HELICOPTER NO JAV HELICOPTER ONLY LASER PAINTER ALLOWED ON HELICOPTER NO SPAWN TRAPPING ADMINS *lists admins* NO SHOTGUN NO MAV NO M26' there was some other random nonsense but I can't remember it all.

I just decided to break every single lovely rule and grief the entire server. Started off just smashing all the opposing heli pilots with their lovely laser painters and then camping their carrier for a while so they couldn't take off (if you use that bad combo then you don't deserve to fly anyways rear end in a top hat) which saw a bunch of dudes shooting RPGs from the deck at me and getting themselves banned, then I switched over to a tank and shot everything out of the sky. Did this for like 50 minutes until I went back to get in a chopper, beat an admin to the pilot seat and immediately got banned.

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...10/2/174396402/

Basically this moron was fine letting me break every dumb rule scoring like 120 kills until I got in his way and was immediately banned for something that wasn't even against the rules (all 30 of them).

I sort of wish there was some kind of server hack where you could just gently caress over all the idiots who rented servers and made a bunch of terrible rules and run them like petty little despots. It would probably be worth getting banned from Xbox or whatever just to see their server get hijacked with a gay porn banner.
