I would consider myself one of the better support guys. I always check the mini map and deliver help if I can. I will drop med kits near ammo crates or other strategic positions to help. I like being a chopper gunner/support as you rack up the points this way. If a demo guy is taking a tank out I will stay with him and support so the chances are greater he will win.
I hate chasing people who don't notice me trying to help and we both get killed.
I really hate those who shoot me to get my attention. Shoot near me or whatever but don't shoot ME. This means I then have to heal myself and you, usually resulting in one of us dying. If you do this to me I will stand there, med kit in hand and look at you as if to say "need something buddy" but you'll get nothing. TK me for it and I'll send you a message why, hoping you learn. I find it a bit selfish to do it this way, I'm not stupid, I will see you need help.
Playing support properly will give you lots of points, not just from kills. It is possible to rack the kills up if you find a nice middle distance position, creating a spawn point for your squad closer to the action and then taking out all stragglers or wannabe spawn rapers heading for your base. Personally, I can no-scope the best players with an MG36 so close quarters stuff is not a problem.
If you play support.....be supportive. I mean hey...who doesn't want free points you hardly have to earn!!!!
