Bay 12 Games Forum

My problem with squadding is the same problem I have had with literally every game ever that's used squads (Except that Empires mod for HL2, that one somehow made it work).  Nobody fucking cares.  Seriously.  I hit insert and it puts me with people halfway across the map.  Even if I manage to get with them they're not working together.  No one's communicating. 

It kind of feels like most of the gameplay right now (It's only the third day of the game, I suppose) is just people zerging around, taking bases, and losing them later.  That's not very good for the Mattherson NC, since the Enclave is already getting geared up.

So, decided to download this, and loving it so far.

I have one question, though. How does a new character take down aircraft? I don't have 1000 CP for a lock-on rocket launcher, and trying to hit a fast-moving Liberator with the default dumb-fire launcher is like trying to hit a wasp with a rock.

I'm terrible at dogfighting, though I suppose that's something I can work on while amassing CP, and I'm not interested in dropping piles of real money for unlocks. Any advice?

FTFY.

Any truth to the rumour that the Alpha will be in the order of 18gigs DL?  That would pretty much mean I couldn't DL it for a couple of months at least.  No way I can justify buying excess bandwidth for about 200AUD.

I was owning with the many different types of new weapons and my custom classes. I also threw some of that owning into the campaign as well.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II (me and just about any non-Bay 12-er in the US)

I wouldn't mind finding out if we can at all form at least a Squad on one server, and be the group that maintains the PUGs that many Outfit groups will ignore or rarely control/direct. The problem is with the current Outfit I am in is that the Leaders are the "Look, I am getting tons of EXP from this, I don't care if 50% of the platoon is getting slaughtered or anything like that, cause I am getting shit." And then look at the map and wonder why the whole place is under the control of the TR and the place that they have had their platoon/outfit hold being the only damn place that the NC own...

I decided to run a Platoon, ignoring the general orders and rules of the Outfit (need a certain rank to lead apparently) and mainly had a few outfit guys work Squad leads while I got everything under control with the PUGs, the Offical Outfit platoon was holding a Bio Lab and the Enclave (TR Outfit) had pretty much pinned them in there. I took my PUG platoon, and after a bit of Iron Handed Orders I got back nearly 50% of the map then came in and took the Ground level around the Bio Lab back from the Enclave group stationed there to keep the NC there Pinned. After that the leader of the Outfit came on, jumped into my Platoon and said that he didn't want to lead, but cause he was there many of the Outfit joined, I think I got in trouble from the other leads dispite the main leader willing to hand me the platoon lead...

We ended up taking back all of TR's land and cornered them into their Warp Gate before I was called to work early...

Of course, Outfit lead prob took the Credit there, I haven't been allowed to lead again and I feel that I am not even "welcome" there any more...
