Man nothing kills my game play worse than to much booze! Although I find I play optimally with a slight buzz...
Makes me care less about what my horrible sniper team mates are doing, which is usually nothing. "Rush? Whats that? I'm just gonna sit here in this tree and snipe people that happen to pass by on the off chance. You worry about that MCOM thingy"
Recons are probably my current favorite class for Rush, because most times a proper recon (1 alone) can shift the tide of a game. I can usually get by without a medic as auto regen is enough if played right. Not having someone refund your team's tickets really makes life tougher but winning is still possible. Assaults aren't necessarily key components to a team, though its a real piss off having to scrounge for ammo. Engineers aren't a pre-requisite as I can take out most things with my C4, but choppers can be a pain in the ass though. I find if I spam the sensor ball though, my team automatically goes from shit to 'meh'. Sensor balls are one of the greatest things on the battlefield, especially if a team is horrible. They at least give the team a chance to see their death coming, so chances are 1 guy won't wipe out 5 if you have a sensor ball down.
Oh, and you can probably tell the kinds of games I've been having lately from the above. I'm getting pretty sick of joining servers where the team I'm joining is the 'weaker' team that just had half its members depart due to 'higher skills' of the other team. They really need to add in a scramble, or perhaps a rank based balance system that is only activated after 1 team loses consecutively a set amount of times. I know it may suck if you get shifted, but I'd rather have that then be on a team that facerolls or gets facerolled until the server dies. Last night, I had a game that went from 16v16 to 8v1 to total server death because nobody cared to balance. Of course, of all the people I've played with recently, only about 1/4 of them actually play their kit instead of just spamming metal at red things on the screen, so maybe people just need to educate themselves on what the Battlefield franchise is about.
If any of you are less inept than a rock and want to squad up, I may suck balls in k/d stats but I've got a buttload of try.
