A few tips on how to get high scores really easily: 1) never stop shooting, u can rack up lots of points just by holding down the trigger of a gun or having your tank constantly fire. Even if you don't hit an object directly you can still get points from blast radius damage. 2) Shoot at objects which will yeild the greatest points/shot. Such as shooting at a harv. vs. a tank. If you shoot at the tank it will give you more points 3) Learn to have your tanks and units last long amounts of time on the battle feild, such things include being a tech/hotwire or engi. while in a tank. Due to this you can do self repairs. Also learning the priority of what to shoot at, such as shooting at units which can do damage to you vs. units which do not do damage. 4) Learn to "trace" or have your weapon fire ahead of a moving target such that you can have your bullet/tank shell hit the enemy vehicle when it moves 5) The last main tip I have to pass on is learn the distance to which your unit can fire a shot, such as learning that Mammoth missles have limited range (this is more for my own benefit since I'm rather sick of seeing people use Flame Tanks on units miles away or using the Mammoth missles rather than the tank shells ). Have anyother tips to add to how to get a really high score?? Feel free to add 'em
youve mentioed but TRY to stay alive as long as possible on the battle field, whenver i do last long, i usaually get lots of points cause of the Constant damage and giving
You get out of your tank in the field and I guarantee you'll see me driving away with it after running you over.
1. GDI shoud get turrets 2. the Ob and AGT should be changed to be moe evenly used (now its AGT-infantry, Ob-vehicles) 3. Mammoth Tank cheaper OR enhaced with normal price 4. No flaw in stealth tank design and no destealth if get off when iin stealh mode before getting off 5. Stealth Units in GDI OR anti-stealth units 6. More covered areas for sniping 7. Large "Tunnels" for vehicles these are the modifications I'd like to see, what are yours??
ever tried to put some mines on an APC (or other vehicle) and run into another player on the other team much damage but be sure TK isn't on or you will blow your self away.
or make sure those mines aren't urs because if TK is off u still get hurt
Amen to that, ACK. Other than that I agree with everything. People should use the freebie units more often, too. The shotgunner owns everyone at close range, and the minigunner is incredibly accurate even at a distance which makes it easy to get headshots with. Also, what I always be sure to do is to throw my C4 before I die. You'd be surprised how often you get magical kills from your C4 lying on the ground somewhere, or how many points you get by taking a fat chunk out of that Mammoth that ran you over. Especially with the free units, don't be afraid to throw yourself at a vehicle, C4 in hand. If you die, it's not like you lose any money or points, and you can stand to gain a lot when you have no regard for your own health most of the time.
You won't get any points if you team loses, so if you manage to get 1000+ spare dollars buy your team as many tanks as you can (medium and light only!). You have no idea how many times my team just doesn't buy tanks on field, and I buy 5 tanks for my team and we end up taking it.
I've done that before after a good damage run that lasted a long time which left me with about 4500. I bought 5 flame tanks and told my teammates that I was doing it (so they know to take the tanks, you be surprised how long it can take to get someone to take it sometimes!) We rushed the base and destroyed it, something we were too poor as a team to do otherwise. Victor
Not bad ideas but GDI getting a stealth unit is stupid, its not as hard as you think to spot a stealth tropper and gdi has patch and he can drop any infantry in no time. Also the more sniping cover idea isnt so hot, its most maps there is about 4 or 5 places to look for a sniper and by the time i check 3 of those spots for a sniper i get sniped.
There are already too many useless snipers crowding the maps... They do something useful, but your team does not need friggin 4 of em... One can do the job... GDI does not need turrets, and stealth units are easy to find if your team puts up a decent defense... (Mobius, Sydney (Non PIC), and Patch are the GDI anti-stealth units anyway)... The base defenses are even as it stands. Only a bad GDI team would get overpowered by Nod vehicles, barring a well-done flame rush, and only a bad Nod team would get overpowered by a GDI infantry rush. If Nod had the AGT, they would get 0wned by the mammies, and if GDI had the OB, they would get owned by infantry rushes...
I like the idea of GDI getting turrets, but one thing that should really be implemented, especially with the new air unit patch, is SAM sites for both teams [ April 15, 2002: Message edited by: Corsair_734 ]
if you get 2 ppl you can take out a mamoth in one hit for 350 bucks have one be an enginner adn the other be the driver then have one guy loaad liek 15 remote C4 on teh front and tehn ram teh mamoth just make sure theat teh enegnner can either see when you hit or use a promot liek enemy sighted. works wonders and if friendly fire is off it doesnt hurt you or your vechile.
I like the idea of separating the machine guns and rockets from the AGT. I'd like to see standard turrets with machine guns and the AGT with just rockets. Might help to balance out the separation of turrets and obelisk on Nod side.
>>4. No flaw in stealth tank design and no destealth if get off when iin stealh mode before getting off<< This gave me a headache trying to figure out what it meant.
The mammoth tank is fine the way it is: big, slow, and strong. The price is consistent with the other C&C games. Leave it be. I'd rather see additional units than changes to the ones that everyone has already gotten used to.
The mammy expense is also balanced. It is meant to only be used by a person who had an excess of money. If they powered up the mammy, then even one person in one would dominate any other unit. WW is trying to keep the power/player for each side roughly the same.
that happend to me before. I was in the mammi on under and a nod apc comes out and rams into my tank. Next thing i know big explosion fps down to 1 and whenever thing clears i find myself crushed under the running apc
yeah i know the feeling of when someone steals your tank But i also know that when i do buy a tank for free no one takes it, and then the enemy steals it. Why cant people just get it when u say free tank that its a free tank?
Thats funny ill have to try that

Either that or they bought a char and don't want to lose it when thier tank blows up
The most useful time to enact the kamakazi run is when your opponents are all holed up in one building, repairing, and you've got a bunch of vehicles pounding away uselessly at it. Load up one guy with tons of remote c4 all over him, and send him into the enemy structure. He walks up to the MCT, gives the signal, and BOOM...all the enemy engies/techs/hotwires that were dilagently repairing the structre are so much wallpaper.
That is true but the thing is, is that i never usually buy 1000$ units. So i guess im always ready for a free tank, especialy the Med tank! The med tank is the best i think, how about u?
bah, that doesn't help at all, just do the following. get a tech, go to there back entrance, take out just enough mines to squeeze through. Then get a stealth suit and a beacon, squeeze through the mines. Time to play the waiting game. Wait untill you have the perfect moment to jog through to the back of a building, try to make it one at the back of the base (where the least people come too), plant it in a dark corner, stand on it, engi comes, he cant disarm it because your in the way, then you kill him (note: you will prolly die everytime you do this, but it works). Then when the nuke goes look for an empty vehical hop in and ride to your base and watch noobies shoot at you, get another nuke and infiltrate the base with your new vehical. In the case you cant find a vehical, try to get inside and building and plant all your c4's on it (the MCT) but dont shoot it (because they will come and find the bombs) then just kill anyone who comes in, after the bomb goes off and the building is still alive, shoot the MCT. Now i know this is REALLY hard to do. But it keeps me in 1st place mostly NOTE: THIS ONLY WORKS WITH NOD (NO DUH!)

I always put 5 mines on my mmaoth to protect from flame tanks, but when you do that you have to amke sure you only run over people in reverse.. or you'll waste your mines.
the tips are good for low player games (2-4) but when u are playing with more players, u might not be a team player, because all u do is look at your own points.
No, those tips are good for any size game. If you're kicking a disproportionate amount of ass, your team should look to you as an example if they have any brains.
I get a 5,400point average usually.. but I don't play laddered much.
Use grenade launchers or flame throwers in the beginnig of the game to take out the harvesters. They do more damage and don't cost anything.

U say you do what i do an you don't get any points?? well have ya tried moving while you shoot it really helps ya to live longer. OH and to the guy who thinks he can take my tank while I'm repairing it.....an easy way to aviod that is to get out for 3 sec.s repair get in back up shoot get out and repair.....Remember not to spend too long out of your tank repairing.... if you do short repairs it will help to stop stealths from taking the tanks . Also hitting the harv from close range is risky the better thing to do is to get the power up (if possible) and then go out and hit the harv. with just a reg. soldier u get a 70+ cred. cash boost which can really give you an edge. The c4 on the floor is a good idea but if you place them in high traffic areas that will increase your likelyhood of getting kills. Mini-gunners are garbage I can hit them so easily and even if i die when I'm a soldier they will die soon enough since I can take off half their health before the kill me....... So you think the pay off of all the cred.s/points I get is worth the 1 he gets? nope it isn't so why not just save up for a med. or a light tank and not waste money on the expensive units and let the noobs do that?
No you don't hurt yourself because its on your team thats why you can go over your own teams mines without detonating them.

Mines on a wehicle doesn't only work as a powerfull weapon it also acts a steal protection from the other team. Say you are out on the battle field and you are the only tech out there and you have to get out to fix your last mammothtank then if sombody from the other team tries to steal your wehicle then the mines will explode and if they doesn't destroy your wehicle it will definitly cripple it so it will be easier to destoy. HATE CARTHEEVES!!!
The question is.. are those mines more useful on a tank or as part of the base's defense? Since you can only have 30 placed mines per team, I personally prefer to use them to protect the base.
ok but if you just cant get anyone to place some mines and you are storming a base to plant a beacon and you leave your vehicle outside a building and someone likes to steal I can bet they will take it without looking for anything wierd and then BOOOOM!!! A good way to ensure you get the time to plant the nuke is ofcourse to do what the dirty tricks manual on the westwood homepage say and plant your mines in the entrance to the enemy building so that if somebody knows where you are they will kill themselfs trying to get to you

"Topic: Ever wonder why I can get such a high score in a game?" No
Well.. what is the Highest Score you achieved in a game? I hate how when you kill somebody, you get all of 2 points!! 2!!! TWO! You might as well be an engineer repairing the bases getting 2 points per second of repair! Buildings give you an enormous amount of pointage! and vehicles... meh... but I'm not too sure about harvs though...

BTW- K/D ratio means nothing- I play to have fun, not to look at stats- When I don't have money I rin out into the field with free units, toss C4, die and repeat till i get money. I don't play all 32-40 player games, I also do some 18-24 games where an MVP gets you like 70-90 pts at most.

quote: Ever wonder why I can get such a high score in a game? So, what your saying is you only play for points and you don't know how to help others.

Just because you've played over 700,000 time played laddered games, doesn't mean you R an expert. It means you have nothing better to do. AKA- Don't get out much...Hehehehehe... I'm sick of people who've played sooo..many games, that they think they R the Best. The less you play with the most amount of productivity = a great player, not the other way around...
Sorry Mr. Azwhooping I don't need to ask those other "top" players and ask them how you hold up....the fact is is that most of the top 50 are just a bunch of "average" to "good" players the only good play i can think of that has a good point total per game is silver1nl... and oh 75\% of the games you play.....the only time i play 1 on 1's or small games is when I want to have an ffg... thats it.....I never ladder in smaller than 40 player games.....and the fact of the matter is I don't make my own games on my own servers and kick people if I don't get mvp...... if you looked up my stats you would see that....

Is that so Dooh well look at my stats.... if it were up to your grading system I would be the best in the world.....and oh yeah i do play for points and don't play by repairing..... I want points plain and simple....and if it need be where my tank is taken out and i'm a hotwire and there are other tanks that need help....I say screw them let them help themselves.....I plant c4 on my self and I'm back at my base ready to get into another tank... My main point is that if people would treat their tanks better and get better tank skills they wouldn't need engis,techs, or hotwires to follow them....and if you have read my posts on how to get good tank skills then maybe you wouldn't be sounding so dumb right now
Well, you know what, you're both out for points, and that's it. Look at your win/loss records. I've been in games with both of you, AzWhoopin, you're synonymous with being the first place guy on the losing team, C4Kitty, your record is quite similar. Lot of points, but terrible win/loss, neither of you are team players. I happen to know how to rack up the points, but I also like to win the game too, to guarantee at least some points. Unfortunately, the renegade ranking system doesn't distribute points out evenly for every job. Defense and repairing don't get you jack, so nobody does it. The real way to get points, whether you like it or not, is just sit back with your tank and shoot at buildings, whether you destroy them or not. Every hit on a building will give you more points than anything else. When something comes up to shoot you, kill it, hop out, repair, continue shooting. Nukes are nice, but, lots of times while you're wasting your time and money doing that, someone else is racking up the points shooting at a building. If the map has no defense, rush in with c4s on mcts, hotwires take out buildings too, but unfortunately again, you can rack up more points shooting at a building constantly being repaired, rather than taking out a building. It's messed up, and as your win/loss records show, team work is definitely not needed to win a game. You both win when you have some team players on your team. If you don't, you're the #1 score on the losing side.

Everyone isn't going to be like that, and if you cared anything about winning and playing the game like it should be played, you wouldn't be like that. But you're all about your ranking for some reason, whether it makes you feel good, or makes people think you're good. Renegade claims it's a game that requires team work to win, well, it is. Unfortunately, the point system is screwy, and you could be a top 5 player with a losing record, which doesn't show any "know-how" of how to win the game. But if it makes you feel better, do it I guess.
wow you get a lot of points in a game.... whoopie i'm sorry to break this to you but, you aren't that good. i've played a lot of games with you before and you're average at best. a lot of times you just complain about how everyone on your team is a n00b. you always seem to have some kind of excuse ready when you die. you really aren't as good as you think you are.

My main point is that if people would treat their tanks better and get better tank skills they wouldn't need engis,techs, or hotwires to follow them....and if you have read my posts on how to get good tank skills then maybe you wouldn't be sounding so dumb right now the thing about that, this is a team game. engies happen to repair things and that should be used to help out tanks and such. if you don't support the tanks you normally get shut into your own base by enemy tanks and snipers. you are terrible for team skills. your tank strategies are mostly common sense (at least to me. no offense to anyone who didn't know them.) regardless of a player's tank skills they can't win the battle all alone. a single tank doesn't stand much of a chance when the enemy is advancing on it. you need support. you need hotwires and engies following the tanks to help the team win. you should worry about your team before yourself. that's my strategy.
who gives a shiit about points, the best players dont always get the most points. for example why is the player who took out the power plant less of a player than the guys who rushed to the base in there flame tanks after that. or why is the player who single handedly defended the whole base why every one ells rushed to the enemy base to attack, less of a player. untill the points system is changed in this game having good rank will win you little respect .
No need to get heated about it, so C4kitty's not a team player and you are. That's all there is too it. You want big points? Play Islands as GDI and hit the Hand of Nod with your mrl for the entire game. Saw someone get 910 ladder points cause he just kept shooting and never had to move an inch. Sure it's boring as hell and personally I think it's lame, but it doesn't involve any teamwork, skill, or general thought to pull off (perfect for a great many people). Myself I stopped playing for points while still on the MP demo. No challenge, just shot mammoths (in green life, no ones mentioned that yet) with a Sakura and I got MVP every time. Now you'll hardly ever find me leeching points, I'm either shooting down apache's with Havoc, vandalizing flamers and stealth tanks with a PIC, or having sniper duels (I'm notorious for this on Mesa). I'm not knocking on point-players here, whatever grabs your fancy is fine. We play to have fun right?
right, it's a team game. it's just most of the people that are top ranked can't come up with any strategy and lead a team because they aren't smart enough, and their strategy is shoot at building, die, shoot at a building, die, and so on.... This is seen by their sorry records, they may have more wins, but not many. If they were smart, they'd rack up their own points but help the team to win also, but they aren't, so there they are. Just think of all the times if they had helped their teammates, how many more points and wins they'd have. I mean, they wouldn't have to play the game constantly then to stay up near the top.
All this arguing is bad karma I don't really have anything else to say that hasn't already been said, other than that the boring jobs should be a little more appreciated more in games. Boring jobs like repairing, doing recon, or guarding the base (I remember that one time I was a lone gunner defending the barracks, which was our only structure left, while every other person was out attacking. I think I got about 5-6 kills because noone got near ) It is important to act as a team player in laddered games, lest you want to be flamed by your teammates . But most of the time, i'm in unladdered games to have fun, which is where I pick a lot of the fun units like aircraft and snipers. But the truth of the matter is, the ones in battle get most of the glory (just look at history).
regarding the kill ratio........u probably never repair your teammates, and teammates tank because thats a hight death risk \%...but hey, personal stats. r important too

I don't play all 32-40 player games, I also do some 18-24 games where an MVP gets you like 70-90 pts at most. Its always funny to see big headed children getting a high over thinking they are good at a PC game... Always gets a chuckle out of me K... he maybe a 12 year old.. but stats speak for themselves.. I would bet money C4kitty would mop the floor with you. I too am all bout stats and movin up that lader.. and runing into the open field with C4 is just sniper bait, and plain retarded. I'll see you out in the fild AzWhoopin and that's just what you'l get... Look for me my WW nick is same as my Forum nick.

This is seen by their sorry records, they may have more wins, but not many. If they were smart, they'd rack up their own points but help the team to win also, but they aren't, so there they are. Just think of all the times if they had helped their teammates, how many more points and wins they'd have. I mean, they wouldn't have to play the game constantly then to stay up near the top. THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TOP RANKED KEEP FORGETTING THAT THERE ALWAYS HAPPENS TO BE AN ENGINEER HELPING THEM, IVE PLAYED WITH KITTY AND AZWHOOPIN AND REP[AIRED YOU BOTH AND SEEN OTHER PEOPLE REPAIR YOU SO DONT GIVE ME THAT **** ABOUT THEY CAN HELP THEMSELVES KITTY ITS A TEAM GAME AND IF IT WERENT FOR YOUR TEAM MATES YOU WOULDNT HAVE THAT RANK, I BEST RANK I RECIEVED WAS 41 AND IT WAS ALL DUE TO TEAM WORK NOT JUST ME!!!!!!!

Whats that Rambo you little pin head....have you even looked at my win/lose ratio??? its the best in the top 50 and maybe if you looked at the stats rather than sticking your head up your butt you would have seen that OH so you are saying that people who are top ranked don't have strat?? well maybe that might be the case but it doesn't mean were not smart.....cuz were all smart enough to take advantage of situations created by you stupid newbs.....especially you Rambo.....

Wow C4, your a real greedy fool... I can be found Blowing up buildings, defending base, Sniping, and repairing tanks with techs when there is a need, sometimes I jump out of my own tank to fix somebody else's. So many times I spend most of the game around the base mining buildings, repairing buildings and stopping flame rushes with PICs or Mobius. You also notice that U said U have a high win percentage.. Most of the people in the top 50 have better win \% and without being a greedy *** like you. I don't know how many people I have thanked for repairing me in a big battle and I usually give them my tank eventually for it. If it wasn't for the engys fixing my tank the game would be lost. Those engys that fix our tanks are the key to winning most games. Somegames I find myself defending the base or repairing tanks more than attacking.. So many times I seen "top ranked players" witness an engy rush into our powerplant and they totally ignored it, he just jumped into his apc and took off, I jumped out of my tank, ran in to attempt to stop it and did saving the team the loss of a power plant all while somebody steals my tank while I am saving PP and you are halfway to the enemy's base for another 33\% chance at a high scoring building kill! BTW- U say your win \% is so good right? Yours is 60\% and mine is 59\% some others ranked between us have as high at 71\% and plenty higher than 60\%. Lets not make up stories ok? Your a greedy point hore of a player. You already state you will not fix anybody and that you only play for pts. Your are pathetic and then you lie trying to pretend you have the best win \%. Its a team effort.
You havn't mentioned that destroying a Guard-Tower or an obelisk will bring more points than destroying two tanks!

Its a team effort. amen to that man. that's the point i was trying to get across. i've played a lot of games with c4 and she's really not nearly as good as she thinks she is. she cries and complains so much in games it's pathetic. she seems to think just because she has a good score on the ladder, everyone should bow to her. let me take this time to reiterate what i said before, C4, you are only an average player at your best. get your head out of the clouds and play for your team. worry about the team before yourself. C4Kitty...... what a n00b.
One of my favorite things to do is stake out a nice hidden area near the enemy's airfield or War factory (Mesa is good for this) and everybody that trys to claim there veh snipe them, this is the most fustrating thing in the world to people, and if possible after the 20-30 secs of no-steal time goes by run out and see if you can take it. Getting a flame tank in enemy's base is big damage
C4kitty, I enjoyed doing the same thing for the first 2 weeks of Renegade. I was always 1st or 2nd and racked up points by being a "lone wolf"(i.e not caring about anyone else) The thing is that you grow tired of doing the same things EVERY game. So now I don't play laddered games, even using GameSpy (please forgive me )and you know what? I'm having fun. That's right...fun. Sometimes we win...sometimes we don't. Sometimes I get to be the hero that plants the beacon, sometimes I get to be the schmuck that doesn't change his $1000 unit to an engineer and lets a building be destroyed. Sometimes I just buy myself a sniper, grab some blankets and a thermos of coffee and spend the whole game picking off people and laughing out loud when I get them. I swear and curse when someone snipes me, mostly because I feel so stupid that I didn't see them. And apart from a lot of fun, it's also given me more of a sense of tolerance for other players. Because some of you may be doing exactly the same thing as me...having fun. So, I appreciate your advice and agree that it is a good way to get points. I also agree with all the others who see you as "greedy". The best part of it all? Having as much fun out of the game, watching you silly peoples in an oh-so-serious discussion about a GAME,as I do by playing it. Thank you all for your entertainment.
Sorry to all those who think i'm not a team player......let me stress that i'm NOT A TEAM PLAYER and never will be....I don't care what you say or what you do I have enough skill to hold my own and thats all I ask of everyone on my team no more no less...... I expect people to use common sense which is why I yell at the morons on my team if they disregard the fact that their power plant is being killed.....and yes i am much better than you ninja I realize that a girl being much much better than you at a trivial thing such as a game gets you angry and you like to push up you own ego by putting me down.....and if you think that this is not a single player game maybe you should realize that this is a tournament of individuals and if you want to be so all high and mighty on winning team games why don't you take your n00b butt and stick to playing clan games
WHOEVER PLAYS WITH C4 NEVER FIX HER, NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HELP HER. And about your comment to Ninja about being good or whatever.. The only picture in my mind is a wayyy overweight girl with glasses with tape on it, pimples, braces and no friends sitting infront of the computer 24-7 playing!! Usually girls play outside and ride bikes and play with dolls with there friends, or if you are older than 13 (which would be even more pathetic) you should be going to malls and looking for boys at the movies, if you are older than 16 your probably Medusa's twin crossed with a Behemoth.

Umm, if you are refering to here, meaning me posting... I post at work, i don't have the link or password at home.
I just seem to notice what you said about what people SHOULD be doing. You sorta make it sound like playing computer games is a bad thing.
Nope, playing video games is a great pass time. Better than doing drugs. But the sad facts are that more than 50\% of guys over the age of 16 that play video games more than 5 hours a week is a social outcast. And probably closer to 90\% of girls that play video games over the age of 13 are social outcasts, this is where C4 falls into.
I dunno bout that, I know a lot of girls that play video games that aren't outcasts.
Probally, but i'm not exactly sure. But I know they're not outcasts (since they hang around me )

Even if you don't hit an object directly you can still get points from blast radius damage. 2) Shoot at objects which will yeild the greatest points/shot. Such as shooting at a harv. vs. a tank. If you shoot at the tank it will give you more points 3) Learn to have your tanks and units last long amounts of time on the battle feild, such things include being a tech/hotwire or engi. while in a tank. Due to this you can do self repairs. Also learning the priority of what to shoot at, such as shooting at units which can do damage to you vs. units which do not do damage. 4) Learn to "trace" or have your weapon fire ahead of a moving target such that you can have your bullet/tank shell hit the enemy vehicle when it moves 5) The last main tip I have to pass on is learn the distance to which your unit can fire a shot, such as learning that Mammoth missles have limited range (this is more for my own benefit since I'm rather sick of seeing people use Flame Tanks on units miles away or using the Mammoth missles rather than the tank shells ). Have anyother tips to add to how to get a really high score?? Feel free to add 'em nice

C4Kitty, I see you admit to not being a team player. You do realize that this game is based around your team? If your team sucks cock, well, you're going to lose. Not helping them isn't going to make your precious ladder points come any quicker. At the very least, if you help them and don't get all that high in the ranking, at least you made more points than losing them or gaining nothing. Of course, you wouldn't understand this, you're so much better than us all, with you getting out of your vehicle so I can steal it and all...
Forgive me "Ack" touche....

LOL how true how very true. you wanna know why i cant get good pointage? heres my main reason BIG A$$ LAG SPIKES AND 2 FU*KIN SECOND LAG. god i love 56k and bless msn. oh and lets not forget team stupidity from guys who dont defend the base steal my vehicles (same team not opposite) guys who wuss out in a rush cause they dont want to scratch the paint and die anyway. ive known about these tactics since before renegade has been made public knowledge. i play R6 and op flashpoint, i was part of a very good clan with very good players and i could beat all of them with ease and these guys said that i was one of the toughest opponents they ever faced. usualy i cant get more than 1000 points because i have to pull our teams sorry a$$ out of the fire because they dont defend, let the other team attack the buildings, wait for the other guy to disarm the C4 or beakon if they have a expensive guy or im just snipin so no one can get in our base because no one else will. my lag is so bad 1 out of 8 games i can actualy stay in without getting a server connection lost because of lag spikes or people dont want 56k'ers in. sometimes i cant even walk inside a building because i get rubber banded outside 5 times or more unless i get killed so i cant even get in bases. forget tanks with my connection i cant even drive it in a strait line without getting rubber banded to a wall and getting stuck. i hate people telling me to get better tactics or buy a better connection because i probably already know what they know or more and i just dont have the cash to fork out 170 bucks to msn for a dsl/phone package a month or plain dsl because it is really expensive. why? because msn is practicly the only provider here and they just can do it and not lose many customers. nothing like a good rant to make ya feal better
C4kitty...
To respond or not to respond, that is the question. C4Kitty... hell it's all been said. I'm not trying to be really rude or nothing, but why would you buy a team game if you wanted to go play with yourself? Wouldn't a vibrator work just as well? At least then we wouldn't have to deal with you...
