It seems that everytime I play battlefield everyone on my team just waits around for a plane to fly around in and never try to capture flags.  Anyone out there want to play and actually have some fun with it by being in a squad and working together? Add me if you want my PSN is Klisser

every server ive joined so far has had people actually play the way the game was meant to be played running around shooting and capping flags.

What do you expect, unless you play with friends thats what happens. 

Thats happened to me once out of about 70 games

Thats what happens when you play online games

" Thats what happens when you play online  "

Yeah it seems like more than half of my teams don't have a clue and just let the other team cap all of the flags while they all come and join me at the one I\m defending.

For my part I like to defend or assist my team wherever possible and not die too much.

To answer your title, yes i know how to play, but i dont have a playstation....

There's always at least a certain percentage that do play the game right. I just tend to play lone-wolf, running in all stealthy-like to cap flags. People eventually mob up and you start getting a domino effect. Sure, you don't see tank squadrons flanked by jeeps manned by gunners as planes fly overhead laying down strafing runs and flattening points before the main body arrives....but then again 3/4 of the people who play have the mental capabilities of a 13 year old, yippydoodles

BF is an online only game.... "

i play BF2 not many people other than my clan mates know how the game should be played..they just fly and snipe and experiment with C4..

I know how to play, I just like to have fun and capturing flags isn't that fun to me. Its a game so I don't take it to seriously and I don't care if our team wins or loses. Im just in it for the fun

Send me an invite then, because it's the exact opposite for me!

Most of the time, when a round starts, 80% of my team waits on the carrier for a plane, while I've already traveled halfway to a flag to get my 30 points. Here's a few tips for everyone: 

-Screw the planes, they fucking suck. You're better off on the ground helping your team.

-Rifleman is the best class. Infantry is meh, and Scouts are useless if you suck at sniping, or if you don't know how to take advantage of your remote bombs.

-When a match starts, hop into a boat as fast as you can and head for the closest flag. 90% of the time, you'll get 30 points to start the match with.

-DO NOT blow up tanks that the enemy has abandoned. Too many times I see an enemy hop out of an undamaged tank and my team just blows it up instantly before I can get into it. 

-Don't ever use a car's turret without a driver, it just makes you a really easy target to blow the shit out of.

Am i the only one who prefers the infantry class?

LOL I guess lots of people haven't played the old Battlefield games, which is actually pretty cool because more people get to see how good it is.

With a game controller. Do I win?

When that happens I end up capturing the flags my self and finish beign the one with the most points. It is actually fun, but that doesn't happen to me always.

" @Pie: I pretty much only play as infantry. I let them Red Orchestra fags run around with their rifles. "

Well I play BF2142 on the tournament level and the only advice I have for you is to enjoy the noobs while they're here.
