1.repair in the field when control of the field is not to the advantage of n00bs team
it is funny sometimes, as i have stolen vehicles doing it.
but there have been other times where someone on my team gets out of a stank to repair mid-field, then gets sniped to hell, which leaves me as an SBH to jump in the stank and return it to base.
how often do you people see other people doing it?
2. a one-man apc rush
people buy apcs, jump in them, and ride to the enemies base on their own.
they get to the enemies base and either:
- have their apc destroyed leaving a shell for the enemy to repair
- sucessfully get to the building but have their apc stolen and their attack neutralised.
isnt it annoying when someone on your team does this?
can anyone think of anymore?
or dont you agree with me?
all comments appreciated.

I think you should change your first entry. When I first read it, I thought you meant that following a tank with a Hotwire and repairing it is n00bish when your team doesn't control the feild, which is just silly.
3. When you're on GDI, shooting at Stealth Tanks your teamates have stolen, thereby revealing them.
4. Buying an Orca/Apache (Or any unit) when the last 12 you bought got ripped apart by snipers (Or equivilent counter) before even leaving the base.
5. Blocking your own teams harvester, intentionally.
6. Stealing a teamate's vehicle, especially if it's a stolen vechicle from the enemy, and especially when you get it killed without putting them to good use.
7. Use the GDI Rocket Officer when there's no reason not to use Gunner.
8. Insist on helping themselves instead of their team (i.e, refusing to disarm a beacon because you want to drive a Mammoth Tank instead, Not changing into an Engineer to save a dying structure, etc)

Well actually I did a one man apc rush, or should I say rushes. It was UNDER and it was a small game, I belive it was around 4
per team. I was on GDI I kept rushing and rushing and rushing,
and after the second time I ended up with about 1000 or more
credits. I know one thing, and that is: I sure kept the other
team on their alert. When I had about 1500 credits or more then
I donated to the team. Eventually we rushed them with Apc's and Meds.(Which I helped buy by doing one man Apc rushes) I don't think that there were vehicle shells in that server.

You know, the original 2 points are actually very good things to do in small games.
|
I was about to say similar - I always repair in the field, I just dont get out stand still and rep for 5 minutes waiting for it to be stolen. I will use a hottie/tech and repair in short bursts whilst keeping an eye for snipers/sbh - it beats never repairing or having to go all the way back to base to do it.
And one man APC rush is often a good idea, for example if you are on the defensive and can sneak out whilst everyone else defends.
Everything else seemed obvious but valid to me.

N00bish item 1:
Aiming for the body on a sniper server.
I don't care who you are, if you're not willing to hit them in the head, don't complain when they refill.

people who sit in their own base, when defences are up spamming "I need repairs" like they don't know how to work a repair gun.

someone did that to me earlier on.
we were on mesa, a small game, and the n00b just sat there in his tank radioing 'i need repairs' i kept telling him to go an engineer, and when he finally listens, he leaves his tank on the entrance to the base, which was in good enough range for an enemy rav to take it out.

You know if someone else repairs the tank, it's benefical to the team because of points, right?

we won that game anyway, as when me and some other guy were attacking the power plant with meds, they werent reapiring it so we destroyed it no probs.
then i went back to the base, got a mobius and a beacon and took out the hand of nod, someone else took out the airstrip and ref, and then tried for the obi. they failed destroying the obi, but i took a mammy over to the base and finished what was left of it.

It would be more beneficial if said n00b repaired himself and didn't waste 10 minutes doing nothing except spamming, expecting someone else to waste their time on him/her and all they gotta do is !bl the tank and they get the points for repairing.

Thanks. I needed a good laugh.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

The no looping stuff is the worst bullshit I ever saw on snipe servers. One of the funniest parts in sniping is the fact you try to hide from people why shooting them. The element of surprise is also very nice. It's not all about the one that's best at hugging that damn wall, now is it?

in one sniper server (sod gaming) it is against the rules to 'tunnel loop' and you could get kicked if you get caught doing it.
then again, some of these 'sniping' servers have a 'tunnel only' rule, and arent what you'd expect a sniping server to be, as most of the time, the 'sniping' is short range!
