rage_in_the_cage | ha! Yet one more reason i don't like vehicles.

I don't see why you keep stating you don't like vehicles. A vehicle is one of the main parts of the game. Being something like a PIC or Raveshaw the entire game is so pointless and stupid, it totally takes the fun out of the game. Instead of entertaining yourself, I suggest you get in a Medium Tank and actually help your team.

Yep i TOTALLY agree i just stormed out of a server because every single tank on gdi was orca AND they were all going solo, then there were 7 snipers. I really can't understand ppl who want to stay in the same spot ALL game and do sod all.
And Nightma he was trying to walljump even thoguh i said go left (but nooooooooo he went right, what an idiot, you cant get over the other wall anyway lol). I had a nuke and i said drive me to their base in this apc and defend me while i place it. sheesh

it happens all the time; this is what i tried to explain back in the renguard topic. it comes down to this, people play the game for their
own enjoyment. most people find that enjoyment in going solo with a n00b cannon ramjet or a ROFLcopter which makes them go ROFL
when they clear the field of opposition.

I seem to be frequented by people like this every day online, it gets immensly irritating after a while. especially when nod own 2 orcas and 2 meds (so gdi can only bulid 3 tanks up to the limit).
And yes that happened earlier on C&C_Walls_Flying.mix

I absolutely HATE riding in someone elses APC, and I'll tell you why. First I would like to point out that the whole point of a rush is to RUSH to the enemy base...drive right in, letting nothing stop you unless the riders are coordinated with you enough that you can stop and they will jump out and heal you and jump back in.
Anytime I get into someone elses APC, its never a rush I end up going on a sunday drive. The driver drives all around, seemingly roaming the map....wtf!
The driver also usually breaks at least one the rules of things "not to do" while rushing:
1. Don't engage the enemy (vehicles) on the way to the base. There's nothing more frustrating then to watch you and your other 4 hotwires/techs die because the driver felt like taking on a tank.
2. Don't try cool map exploits. The picture posted in this thread is an example. Most servers have rules against "wall jumping" with vehicles. Don't waste a rush by trying a cool shortcut. If that same APC had rushed through the tunnel, GDI probably would have had a handful of Nod techs to deal with inside their WF.
3. Never, NEVER fire at or otherwise engage infantry on the way to the enemy base. So many times the driver totally stops the rush just to chase down one measly soldier. So we spend 5 minutes chasing him around the barrels on C&C_City, meanwhile other infantry are shooting at us from the tunnels etc...even if we survive to finally rush into the base, guess what? Every enemy you kill on the way to the base warns his team that you are coming. Not only that, its likely that the moment he respawns he will not only warn his team, but will buy the best defense character he can afford to personally stop you. So now your Rush is met by a team that knows you are coming, and the guy that you deliberately wasted time killing on the way in, now has a Mobius or LCG and melts your tank before you can even get past the base defenses.
4. Don't retreat at the slightest damage. So many times I have been in an APC, and the driver got shot by a havoc, or even just a peppering of basic infantry fire, and they totally retreat back to our base! I have driven through tanks and advanced infantry, getting owned all the way and still made it into an enemy base....let nothing stop you!
I could write more but I think I have ranted enough
