Still playing even more Bad Company.

In roughly one out of every five games my teammates have one or more of the following traits:

A squeaker (Child under the age of 13).
A team killer.
Primary language is foreign.
Does not understand how to drive a vehicle.
Refuses to use the motion tracker devices in the Recon class, because they do not do damage.
Wants to spend the whole game trying to shoot enemy troops with the tracer gun, which is meant to flag vehicles.
Refuses to leave the vehicle in order to repair it, and is the appropriate class to do so.
Will not drop a medkit for you, is on your team, and is even using voice-chat.
Upset about not getting to the chopper in time to take it, plants C4 on it while the rotor powers up, kills allied pilot.
Uses spawn-on-squad, appears near allied sniper, fires rocket launcher leaving a giant smoke trail to sniper position.
Stabs you because you're sitting on the artillery gunner seat, and it is 'his'.
Stabs you because you didn't shoot the guy who shot him.
Stabs you because he thought you were the enemy, after using squad-spawn, appearing behind you, and the IFF flags you friendly.
Can't be bothered to adjust his mic, so emits a constant stream of static during play. (Mute solves, but annoying.)
Constantly takes passenger vehicles, does not stop for passengers, usually runs them over, ditches vehicle in water or impact with building, assaults on foot.
Stabs/shoots you because 'only the enemy runs away from the attackers base / defenders base' (The one opposite your team.)
Stabs you because you're not talking to him on the mic.
Stabs you because you're not playing the class he keeps telling you to play.
Stabs you because it was funny.
In the middle of the assault, goes completely idle.  Angry parental person heard in background of their voicechat.
Spends more time trying to use an exploit to get to a ridiculously high sniper spot on the map than fighting the enemy.
Does not understand the words 'cover' or 'concealment'.  (Snipers get pretty good ghillie suits in this game.)
Is only concerned with the lumberjack achievement. (Destroy 1000 trees.)
Is concerned with only blowing up objects with c4 for achievement. (Destroy 1000 objects.), though the annoying ones I'm getting at are mostly INSIDE YOUR OWN BASE.
Only uses the smoke launchers on a tank in the center of your base, as the attacking team. (Nothing to defend there.)
I AM TALKING TO PEOPLE ON THE INTERNETS! (See first entry of list.)
MY FINGER SLIPPED, LAWL! (See first entry of list.)
I JUST GOT THIS GAME FOR MY BIRTHDAY, HOW DO I PLAY? (See first entry of list.)
WHERE IS THE DEATHMATCH? (See first entry of list.)

Those other four out of five games however, tend to be pretty much spot-on awesome.  I'd like to see more wars turn into 'screw our goverment, THERES GOLD HERE!  WE CAN BE RICH!'

Etrain Odyssey: Holy CRAP this "spend five days in B8" quest is fucking BORING.  :scanners:

That quest was fantastic because when I finished up and headed back to town to sell stuff, I found that I could now buy the armor they give you as a reward.  At that point I realized that pretty much every quest in EO isn't worth completing because the stuff you get for doing them is worthless.

Yeah, seriously, this single-player MMO-balancing thing needs to stop.

Yeah, but that particular armor costs 2000 monies, and I only have about 7000 at the moment. I had NO problem getting one for free. But yeah, all those quests with healing items as rewards are kinda useless.

I love how in Roguelikes things can just sort of spiral out of control.  Case in point: I try to go for a quick melee-only run to satisfy one of the rankings in DoomRL.  Only needed to go about 15 levels in, which is like three-fifths of the game.  Coulda just ran it, in retrospect.

An hour or so later I end up killing the cyberdemon, wielding the friggin' Spear of Destiny (picked up after killing the third-hardest enemy in the game with a chainsaw) and wearing the Angelic Armor (snagged after killing five Arch-Viles and a small army that they respawned in a level full of corpses).  Never saw that coming, I can tell you that.

By killing everything on level 1 with my bare hands, everything on levels 2 through 5 with a knife and everything on levels 6 through 16 with a chainsaw, all of which was liberally sprinkled with Brute 3, Berserker, Tough as Nails 3 and Badass 3 for a disgusting level of unkillability and spontaneous berserker rages.  The entire thing played out like Brock Samson's Field Trip to Hell.

It also helps if you're not playing on the easiest difficulty.  ::D:

No, look. Look. I know for a fact that you can't make it past even level 3 probably 80% of the time, because if you enter a room with three shotgun guys the game ends. How the hell did you do it.

Oh, that.  Careful use of corners, using other enemies as cover, saving the run ability for when you've got a room with three shotgun guys and getting Brute up as fast as possible so you can one-shot them.  Though to be fair, it did take me about a dozen (unsuccessful) tries before this, so.

Hit Tab to change your tactic from Cautious to Running. it fucks your accuracy, though, so you should probably have Eagle Eye, unless you intend to use it to just plain escape from death. Also, after a few turns running, your tactic will change to "tired," which doesn't do anything but prevent you from running again until you gain a level or use a health pack, orb, or berserker pack.

-Players killing themselves will now give a kill credit to the last enemy who damaged them

It's pretty odd how that one change made soldiers and demomen slightly less suicidal

And i fucking love the backburner fix, it cut down on the  pyros that thought that the only strategy involved was holding down W and the Left mouse button.

now if only the flare gun was more effective (it's fun to use, but not all that useful aside from the sheer annoyance factor)
