I'd like to share a funny BF2 story about the most clueless squad I've ever seen.
I was playing on Karkand64 over the weekend. I was on the USMC team and we had pushed MEC across the river, where they still held their 4 CPs. A raging firefight was breaking out across the water as most of both teams were trying to breakthrough to the other side.
I usually play Assault or Medic. But for the river battle, I switch over to Sniper and start putting rounds downrange at the MEC defenders peering over the walls.
Things were going swell; I scored a couple of headshots and picked up several kill assists. I had a good position near the shallow crossing laying prone on the ground, using the train wheels as cover.
The enemy was getting pounded by our guys and most of my team started advancing across the bridge. I decided to stay put for a while and pick off any stragglers.
Suddenly, I heard boots crunching and saw a MEC soldier lay prone just a few meters from me. He was facing our Bridge Crossing CP and didn't see me laying there.
I looked down at my M24 and saw I only had 1 round in the chamber. I made a quick decision to pull my pistol and emptied the whole clip into the poor sucker.
After giving him to the opportunity to die for his country, I sprinted away to find a new hiding spot, in case his buddies come along and n00b-tubed me into oblivion.
I ran past our CP and layed prone on the north side of the intersection, right across the fence from where the HUMVEE/Vodnick spawns. Again, I layed under the train and faced south so I could cover the train-side approach to our CP. I noticed we had lost the Square CP, which explains where this guy had come from.
After about 20-30 seconds, nothing appears down the street, so I move around a little closer to the water.
About 10 seconds later, I see an enemy sniper sprint-swim across the river crossing. I take a shot at him --BUT I MISS! Damn. I move back a little in case he saw me take the pot shot.
I stayed put and sure enough the chucklehead appears from behind a train and goes prone, looking in my direction. I see him aiming my way, but it was too late because my crosshairs were already on him.
CRACK!
The sniper flips over on his back and gets and eyefull of sky. But while I'm chuckling to myself, a MEC medic dashes out from behind the train and hits the unlucky SOB with the paddles. *Buzz!* COUGH COUGH.
CRACK!
Down he goes again and this time, instead of costing his team another ticket, the medic dashes for cover along the train. I promptly reload my M24 and walk in his direction, on the opposite side of the train.
I duck under the train and find the medic prone facing the sniper I just killed. I guess he figured I'd be an idiot and just stand over my kill so he could whack me. So here I am laying under the train, lining up my M24 for the headshot while the medic stares perpendicular to my LOS.
Suddenly, I'm staring at some MEC guy's butt. A squad mate just spawned on the medic!
So I pull out my knife, crawl over to him and stab the guy right in the legs... maybe right in the groin.
The medic STILL has no clue I'm there. I close the distance and ---another squad mate spawns on him! Amazingly, he doesn't notice me either!
I can't believe my luck as I stab the witless medic squadleader in his left shoulder, then crawl over to his equally clueless squad member and do the same thing to him!
3 knife kills in a row. A personal best
