Ita basically an army propaganda machine in the form of a game.

BUT ITS SOO TIGHT!!
The training takes forever, you actully have to sit thorugh like an hour of lectures and take test to become a medic and stuff like that. I did it all! (not sf-ee)
I've been playing 2 days, and i suck, but its so much fun.
So I was wondering who plays it?


And if you want to whine about the whole propaganda thing, thats ok too.

(and walking me through SF EE would be amazing too!)

I stopped playing that years ago...

It's propoganda, yes. It's also a training tool for those who want to join the army. All the "lectures" are based off of non-classified BCT instructions that soldiers will really go through in bootcamp and AIT.

That thing is seriously old, I think number "2" came out in 04'. Other than that, I remember that it didnt run on my comp, though I heard multiplayer was rather fun.

It was more fun doing it for real.

The IAC has a better game with better graphics.

The Army can send you to places with a more realistic game with better graphics.

But the IAC is overtly clandestine and sends you to places that only a few people know exists. They also have hats...big ones.

In the IAC you can.

Imperial Army of Canada

hmm...Imperial and Canada. That makes sense.

But you're not as likely to respawn in the next round...

No, the goal is to get the other guys to respawn in Hell.

But you're not as likely to respawn in the next round...

More incentive to not got shot in the first place.

Getting sent to the brig for TKing was funny the first time, eventually it destroyed the game's fun value.

Don't tk.

What the hell does tk stand for? I know *p*k is player killing but I've never heard the term tk . . .

Team killing.

And person above: :rolleyes:, git sum.

I've been team killing people since Aliens Online, the noble art was refined in Rainbow Six.

I resond to TKers by going Jihad on them with a suicide grenade run.

Yea for you! I hate Tkers, they mess up the game. I usually snipe, and shoot them when i see them.

Games are getting gayer and gayer in their countermeasures against TKing, used to be you'd hit the limit, get autokicked, hit /retry and be back in the action immediately.

Main reason I dont play many games, pansies.

What games do you play? The ones I play, they can turn 'friendly fire' off completely.

Exactly, and they do. The amount of games that are fun is dwindling for this reason.

Fun for you, aka team killing, is NOT fun for everyone.

Not my problem. Teaches them to watch their backs.

Teaches them not to trust their comrades in arms. Good job, sensei.

Nothing gayer than weasels who ban people from video games. Pansies :rolleyes:

So true. +1 for that post!

Nothing gayer than people who ban other people from video games. Pansies :rolleyes:

Nothing's gayer than using homosexuality as an insult.















Pansy.

Do you just, y'know, not enjoy being liked or something?

Do you just, y'know, not enjoy being liked or something?

Not by people who whine about getting team killed.

It's not propaganda - it's a recruiting tool. It's MEANT to make you want to join the Army. Why else would it be downloadable for FREE?

I used to play, but got bored of it. I mean, I'm not the type to join the Army.

Not my problem. Teaches them to watch their backs.

Get the fuck off my internet.

blah blah blah waah waah waah boo hoo hoo

TKing is bad, m'kay?

No it isn't

So I guess you attack your own team mate since you don't have enough skill to attack the enemy? You probably get owned alot by the other side. You're the decoy aren't ya?

Yeah its because of that :rolleyes: you come up with that line of reasoning yourself :rolleyes:

Ideally you kill them ALL before first contact with the enemy, or ALL of them in combat. Letting the enemy team get a kill is a disgrace, if possible, it is ideal to kill yourself after the deed is done.

UPDATE: I booted up joint ops for the first time in a while and crashed a blackhawk helicopter with 4 or 5 people in it into the ocean.

Uuuhh huh.... let me guess, TKed?

Well, with the helicopter i wouldnt take off until I got a door gunner, so it gave the stupid SOBs a while to load up in it. I flew off in the opposite direction of the front line, so they started complaining, then i changed course out to the ocean and said this was the 'scenic route,' one of them jumped out into the water, but i'll be damned if he was willing to swim all the way back, the rest died in the crash.

This is a game with no FF, so TKing has to be done by vehicle. Plus, they can't kick you and it doesnt count against you.

At least you're having fun. Of course, you ruin it for all the other people in the ame (aside from the opposite team?), but who cares about them? It's all about me and ruining it for other people!

I personally find the fun in actually completing the set objectives with the cooperation of my team. It seems to be a little more satisfying.

If you play CoD:UO, I'd like to meet you and show you Mr. Jihad Grenade.

If its free on bittorent and works on my pc, i'll go at it. Been looking for a new game to lay down the law.

One of the crowning achievements was in Day of Defeat, there was one map, a trainyard or something like that, where one team spawned in a room with ONE DOOR. Outside that room was an emplaced machinr gun. I discovered that if you crouched a certain way, you could turn the gun all the way around and point it at the door. It made people gib instantly if hit. It was impossible to leave that spawn. It took a long time for the other team to make it all the way to the spawn and 'liberate' it. On several occaisions, they were to stunned to shoot me.

All the same, nothing compares to the old rainbow six. In that game, you couldnt see a person's screen name while you were playing - there was NO WAY to tell who was the team killer.


As a disclaimer, I am being seduced by games like joint ops where it is large force on large force with significant objectives, it is fun to play them. In my defense, though, as a kid i played everquest (rallos zek, bitches) for a year and a half and never got above level 12. Was a very wealthy PKer. Also, i'm posting under the influence.

And this is fun?

Killing the other team isnt enjoyable: who cares about that shit? Killing your own team is where the real fun is.

That explains a lot right there.

Well, i've never played an online game that I haven't aspired to team kill in, it really is the only way i've played online games for god knows how many years? 8?9?10?

It really is the only way to play.

That's good for you. I just hope you never join any branch of military.
Or maybe that would be a good thing...

its something else entirely to kill real soldiers, especially when there are religious fanatics to kill. If it were blasting another GI or HAJI, i would pick haji ten times out of ten. At the end of the day, it really is saracens at the gate.
