One thing that really annoys me is the lack of decent support soldiers - especially now when there are SO many new people playing the game. Some of you out there are class, really good, and can read the game play and you know where to be at and when.

But in general, getting a simple, little medi pack or having your tank fixed when needed, is a real struggle. Sometimes I've ended up standing in front of a support soldier - and all he does is look at me, or try to run past me, thinking I'm a weird nutter trying to harass him. It drives me mad. And many, many times, when being at an important stage of the map/game, I've ended up shooting him just to be able to take over his kit and "heal" myself. Been worth it every time.

This is another reason why I avoid playing this game on my own, without my usual squad, nowadays. The lack of decent ROLL PLAYERS is driving me insane.

As for the newbie part. Don't get me started on the issue of having 3-4 snipers sitting next to each other on a hill shooting at the same target (automatic sniper rifle, of course, so they can attract enemies as they miss their target, lovely), support soldiers sitting somewhere sniping, people queing for the artillery gun while the rest of us are trying to charge the crates, seriously lalalala players stealing the helicopter or tank from experienced, well-skilled pilots/drivers, or .... well, the list could go on.

Last night a guy in my team even drove the helicopter to the enemy base, landed, settled down, got out, scratched the sand of his pant and went in to charge the crate - before he got killed, of course. As for the helicopter...

(Sorry, it's monday.)
