To the Armory Community past and present...
Just a little comment. Measure yourself by the quality of your friendships not by the quantity. I have very VERY few people I truly call friends. So if you don't have a full address book of buds at college, take a good look at who you DO consider friends there. Stop worrying about how many friends you have and work on being better friends with a select few. I hope this helps.

What is the size of your monitor?
I have a 19" Widescreen, I play at 1024 x 768 because BF2142 can't handle 1440 x 900 or even be forced into it like BF2 could.

New BF2142 Expansion Announced!!!
Yeah, unfortunately, since I haven't seen any chiquita models on the battlefield, it's going to be banana hammocks wall to wall. But heh, if that floats your boat, more power to ya. NTTIAWWT

A theory on playing titan mode......
I disagree. Anything you do to make the enemy Titan more accessible also makes your Titan more accessible. Moving your titan puts it in range of enemy ground based AA guns which will force you to either dedicate a man to repairing those guns or render them useless as soon as the first enemy tries for his Titan Destruction Pin. Then you're left with no advantage to moving your Titan. The only time I would consider moving my Titan would be if our side took down their shields very quickly and I could move my Titan in range to help defend a few of the closer Silos but NOT in pod range. SL's should be using the SLSB and people in squads SHOULD be joining squads, if not at least to access the Titan and place their own beacons. I try to move my Titan in such a way as to make it difficult to board, not easier. Hell, I've even moved it back on the map instead of forward. Anything to make the missile paths longer, the flight time longer (so my attack chopper has more time to engage), to make the enemy APCs travel across more ground to get in range, et al.

A theory on playing titan mode......
I think a problem with commanding in Titan mode is that you can't effectively fight on 3 fronts (you titan, their titan, and the silos). When I have good VOIP commos with my squad leaders, I prefer to focus on two things: 1. Defending the 3 silos closest to our titan. Not extending beyond them, but having squad leaders each own a silo and place a beacon for rapid response. 2. Defending one side of our own titan. Let them have console 1 and 3, but defend 2 well. Sentry Guns, Shields, Recon guys in the Vents. 3 or 4 well positioned guys can hold off almost all attacks. I would personally prefer not to attack their titan unless my scan shows it's undefended. It's a waste of resources to attack a well defended Titan when there are other ways to win the game. Besides, keeping 3 silos consistently brings their shields down first and that allows you to execute #2 above without having to worry about your resources going to the enemy titan. The problem is, it's not like we get some sort of pre-round strategy session with the squad leaders so the round usually is won by the team with the best Killas.

Favorite Assault Gun
I voted Voss because I hate to reload. I go on single shot outside the Titan where the Voss loses it's edge to the Baur, q but inside the Titan, the extra rounds on full auto is a godsend.

What Do You Do?
I'm a Enterprise Automation Architect with IBM. I design and build systems management infrastructures using primarily Tivoli products for our customers, specifically AT&T. It's not what I envisioned myself doing 10 years ago, but hopefully it's a means to an ends.

I'm Quitting too
Hey you're leaving, and I'm trying to get in, although no-one has responded to my application yet.

Try a little better reading comprehension, or did you reply to the wrong post?

My thoughts on the friendly fire thing (Good Read)
You're not serious are you? You DO NOT LOSE POINTS for a punish, okay? I almost have this macro'ed: "The only reason sometimes it seems like you lose more points for a TK than other times is because team damage + team kills can stack up together."

My thoughts on the friendly fire thing (Good Read)
It seems highly unlikely that by 2142, just 135 short years from now, we'd have developed the technology to integrate IFF into motion sensing mines. I mean look at how little we've progressed in the last 200 years, why would anyone expect such leaps and bounds in even less time! :thumbsup: My $.02 on FF: 1. RDX and Nades SHOULD do damage to friendlies. 2. Friendlies should not set off APMs. 3. Friendlies should not set off EMP and Motion Mines. I played somewhere a week or so ago that had FF on in such a manner that it only did 70% damage to friendlies which must have been picked because APMS didn't kill friendlies, but it did wound them. Is this something in bf2cc that can be modified?

GO Gators !!!!!!!!!
Are you asking because I said "we"? No, I don't play for the Gators.

GO Gators !!!!!!!!!
I'm happy that we left no doubt. There's no way to make excuses for it. No poor calls. No close plays. Out and out domination.

Consenses on Cartillery
I used the Jihad Jeep ONLY when I was MEC. Never as PLA or USMC. It feels like a perfectly valid technique for a MEC soldier, but unconscionable for a Marine or Chinese soldier. ETA: I'm not sure if either side would find it a palatable tactic in this war. Certainly the PAC moreso than the EU, if either.

Damn straight Go Gators. I guess we'll have to come up with a different nickname for me if I spend any time in your ventrilo.

Just saying Hi!
I pretty much play your servers exclusively so I thought I'd pop in here and introduce myself. I play under the name Gator_0811, with a clan tag of =FBG=. Although FBG is not really a clan, we're just a group of I-friends from a fantasy football league. I'm 36, I work for a major IT services company that sounds like Eye Bee Em. I have two kids, 6 and 3 and play pretty much every night for an hour or so. I work at home and I often get on for a round or two during the day. I pretty much play whatever kit is needed at the moment, but I prefer Support. I do primarily use TeamSpeak but I do have Ventrilo installed and have been on the (=A=) channel once before but my mike is not really configured properly for Ventrilo and there were too many people on I didn't want to bother with my mike issues. Anyway, if you have any questions PM away. I'll see you in the field.

Number One Guy
I still don't understand. So people have to be in on this with you? And I guess you're playing on a server with barely enough people to play a game so that no-one is in the AA guns? Even then, 2K pts per minute....just seems insane. Surely this is not how guys are racking up 8K in a round.
