You are forgiven, Battlefield. (But your little badmins are not.)

Three days of stacked teams. Three days of joining servers with 12 shit buckets on the other side while we're stuck with 8 paralyzed and disoriented people sniping (or staring blankly) out of deployment.

And the worst part: Three days of admins kicking me or someone else in my squad the moment we are starting to do well. I get really confused when we go into a server, the other team has all the flags, are leading by 500 tickets and constantly attacking our deployment base. And when we manage so flank, cap a flag or two and rise on the scoreboard, the screen goes black. You've been kicked by an admin. The other day, the winning team with the admin clan in it, kicked almost the whole team we were in. And we never do dickish things.We don't glitch, we don't cheat, we don't break server rules, and with our 100 mbit connection on european servers, we don't lag.

The reason it confuses me is that I don't understand what these people like about the game. They certainly don't seem to enjoy actually playing it. They must do it for the stats I suppose. But they know those stats are fake. And the only place in the world where BF3 stats might seem to matter must be on the BF forums, which only seems to exist for people to be able to stat bash the hell out of each other instead of actually discussing the game.

I have six squad death match losses in a row on battlelog now, and i didn't play a single one of them. All stacked, all admins kicking us. But the ones we actually played, and the ones we won, they were worth it. And I still love you, Battlefield. See you tonight.

We are the Respawn

So, tired of having admins kicking us around to different teams and trying to stay together, we decided that we probably should wear tags to give balancing admins a hint not to split us up. I therefore started a platoon, which means my Battlefield disease has deteriorated even further. I would have laughed at the idea a year ago. Anyways, this is the smallest platoon ever, but it's ours, so. Name is We Are the Respawn. Tag is [WERE]. I'll be rocking it.

Warfighter

I have now pre-ordered Medal of Honor Warfighter. I think it might be a good game, and I would probably have bought it in october. But since you now get beta access to BF4 with the pre-ordered limited edition, I will pre-order. I will take no chances and I will not wait a second longer than I have to, to check Battlefield 4 out.

I guess I will play my BF4 on my PS4 in a little over a year or so. That will be so, so great. I see some people who think the PS4 is coming late 2012, I think they are wrong. Summer 2013 is my guess. And then BF4 almost exactly two years after BF3.

Now there's a thunderstorm brewing up outside, I better get off the computer.

My LvLcap crush

I've got such a crush on LvLcap. I watch a lot of BF3 youtubers and there are many funny, clever, entertaining people there. But LvLcap has this calm, soft voice that I could listen to forever and such an intelligent, humble demeanour. I just love his approach on things. He is analytical and focused whether it is a gun review or competitie gameplay, he never raises his voice or loses his temper. I just adore the man. I should say sorry deadie, but deadie loves him too, so he can't blame me. I somehow suspect he doesn't love LvLcaps voice quite the way I do, though...

So why did I die? part 2

Checked the scoreboard and noticed that I'd died 6 times, no revives. Then I get killed again and that particular foe has got me 0-7. So I guess the reason I died was that guy. And there was really not much to learn except staying the hell away from him.

Being a woman who loves Battlefield means... part 2

1. Getting stalked and followed from server to server by weird people whom I have never talked to.
2. Being asked my bra size when informing my squad that the enemy is holed up behind the shed by the B-flag on Damavand peak.

This is what I do not love about you, Battlefield.

One woman army

Just had a weird experience. I was alone in my team, up against four other players on Seine Crossing. Don't know why they stayed on the server. Don't know why I stayed. There was certainly no chance of winning or even having a decent game. But it was fun at moments. Like taking out their whole squad and capping B. Or just hiding. Ended up MVP 2, got a nemesis ribbon from one of them, went 23-25 - not good but under the circumstances..

Still wonder why they stayed.

Crash and burn

I've got a confession to make. I suck at vehicles. I have destroyed about a thousand more vehicles than I have gotten kills with them. The reason is simple - in the beginning, when i sucked at everything, just shooting straight with an assault rifle was hard enough. Vehicles, they were the advanced class. And later, when I had figured the infantry part out, everybody else had gotten really good at driving tanks and flying choppers. So it seemed a waste of a precious commodity to selfishly claim an attack chopper and smashing it to bits. I'd never even consider a Kasatka - plunging half the team into their graves, no way.

I have zero jet kills. Zero. Jets are a bitch to fly. And by bitch I mean they are awesome, but they are not, um, user friendly.

Anyway, this is my new project. Learning to fly. And to do that, I used a throwaway account, I bought the air vehicle shortcut (I deserve some slack, goddammit), I went to empty servers and I flew.

I mean, I crashed horribly.

But after a couple of hours of flying Vipers, Little Birds and Frogfoots, I decided to try it out on a populated server. They were shooting at me there. Not helping at all!

I managed to get a couple of kills with the Little Bird (lovely little machine) and some vehicle destroys.

But I'm not really impressing myself right now. And it's really hard to even get the choppers in the first place. Everybody wants to fly - which was never a problem before, hell, take the death trap away from me, I'd say.

As far as jets go, I managed to get a lock on another jet. Just the lock, I didn't even hit it. I still consider that my greatest achievment in flying.

Karaoke nights will kill you

I'm drunk again, and I shouldn't be writing.. I shouldn't be playing either, but we'll see how this goes...

EDIT: oh no.
