after 15 years, I still see ...

[Lenovo]

I keep seeing, when I'm a spectator, a lot of people who use the class: Fieldops, and have not yet figured out how and when they can perform an airstrike or a fire for effect.
Sometimes they continue to ask for support, despite the fact that the console returns the visual and sound error: insufficient fire support, and they continue to make everyone deaf

  insufficient fire support
  insufficient fire support
  insufficient fire support
  insufficient fire support
etc...

Dear guys, I would like to inform you that perhaps it would be better to read the weapons wiki, before using them, also to avoid spoiling the matches.

The Fieldops, to check if the air support is available, must check the lightning bolt icon located below the white loading bar of the same, must be white.
If it's red it's not available, and it's useless to call the support
for those who did not understand, see the figure below

not available

 

 

available

 

 

white lightning and loading bar ready

 

 

red bolt, support not available, but loading bar ready

 

 

red bolt, support not available, but loading bar not ready (if you do not have enough xps)

 

 

 

I hope that those who were not aware of this little information, even if 15 years have passed, can enjoy a better game, so as not to ruin the game to others who try to use that class.

i to have never enjoyed this .. lol glad some one finally said something.. also there is never a need for 3 or4 feildopps.lol

[Lenovo]

in fact it is the only ruined class, in almost all the matches.
only the really experienced players know that in a game you should have only 1 field per team, or at most 2, but unfortunately there are no restrictions on the cfg server, this class is ruined by the nabs,
clear example, Mario that we all know;
also when the server is semi-empty, the "bots" also do their part, impossible or almost use this class, this is depressing for guys who only use the fieldop class or prefer it

thats why i never play fo if i do i gotta time my arty and airstrikes just right  becuz some fool yes i said it.. is spaming it in a stupid spot.lol

 

i agree leno ....but we are all on getting ar own fun in.. so its hard to make a point. my favorite is trying to escort tank and someone is on my team artying the dam tank so everytime i try to build it  i fly 50ft in air and splat.lol or the arty right out side spawn points.. u do know about spawn shield right .lol

[Lenovo]

in fact, this class is only for experienced tactical artists, it serves to help the team not to hamper it

 

my advice is to eliminate the "Fieldop bot" from both teams, and set the maximum number of Fiedops per team to 2, and I think that already you would get a better result

 

[Chuckun]

You forgot to mention the finer details...

 

 

White bolt = airstrike and arty are available 

Orange = airstrike is available

Yellow = arty is available

Red = nothing is available

The spammers make it unbearable. I wish there was a better way to limit the abuse of this class

It depends on what MOD games
on Jaymod only white and red lightning

[Snuffs99]

Must admit i've told a good few people over the years after watching them spam FFE etc when it wasn't available.

Oh and just for ref in NQ 1.2.7 and above the lightning strike under the charge bar was replaced by a can (like a spray can) for airstrike and binocs for FFE.

[Achilles90]

Hey thank you for posting about this!

 

I only ever play field op when there are too many medics and I only hand out ammo. Never quite got the hang of airstrikes and what not.

 

I genuinely never knew anything about the lightning bolt and had never noticed it or read the wikis!

 

This was really informative and helpful. Thank you so much!

[Lenovo]

finally, after 2 years, the first true sincere thank you for my help was only there for you

 

 

in this argument you will notice how many people are jealous of my interventions

[Vanaraud]

Gotta love when playing a match and there are no ammo around and you choose FO in Special Delivery to ONLY hand out ammo and be only FO. Next it´s supply and everyone chooses FO and there´s like 1 med and 1 engy and everyone is spamming arty and airstrike... sigh.

3 FO isn´t too much for 15 players per team as 1 can throw air, 1 arty and one can give out ammo. Because medics without ammo are left with suicide or running around with knife and they will not be so much rambo anymore;) Depends a lot by map but yeah, for a map which takes place only inside 1 FO is more than enough.

[-=HipKat=-]

My only beef is when I see an FO right near me and I'm almost spamming V22, then in Team Chat calling the guy by name asking for ammo or to look up at me and he just ignores it......

[Lenovo]

In fact nobody, revives, nobody reads the chat, the need ammo, the need medic, 15 years ago in ETPRO we learned to communicate and we loved this game primarily for the teamplay.
It was the essence of the only real fun that only Enemy Territory had, and that's why he stayed alive, as long as they create a new map, and it becomes incredibly exciting again, it will never die, but if people play individually, it ruins the game of many.
When playing at ETPRO 6vs6 if you did not play as a team the game ended in a few minutes.

It is the same in 2019 also on Jaymod

Why blame others? @Aniky was correct in his way - Your config which you suggested was really bogus. Why you never learn from your mistakes?  You where asking player to use  512MB hunk megs which is fking plain stupid. 

 

com_hunkmegs (default 56) for 2003 , we are on 2019 try,  256 or 512
com_zonemegs (default 24) try 128
com_soundmegs (default 24) try 64

Also asking someone to use r_displayrefresh 60 when you have no idea what their monitor hardware is, that's just plain stupid.  You are full of arrogance. Not long ago you suggested players to optimize their TCP or guessed the performance of routers/switches based on ICMP replies. 

 

Also he was already using lower settings and he wanted more FPS and you where asking him to change r_colorbits from 16 to 32 LOL 

 

Seriously man - you think you know everything and expect people to say OMG OMG Look lenovo is helping me - hurray!! No.  Stop complaining for your arrogance on others. 

#########

 

Some of you guys act like you never played as a noob   When a player is new - they rely heavily on field ops to get the kills up. Once they get experience, they start exploring other things.  Be real guys - that's how new players play. You guys play on pub and complain for stupid stuff - OMG got killed my poison knife, OMG poison syringe killed me.. OMG  we need only 2 field ops when we got 20 players in team. Like everyone got 50 ACC - who will feed ammo to other players?

When I played today under my name or other name - i had medics dying to revive me and many even died on tram map while reviving others. You are full of negative BS. I feel sorry for you. Yes that's my experience of playing on our jay1 server and HC and silent1 server. 

 

seems like you are kinda guy when medic fails to revive you - you start complaining OMG OMG no revives. Just fking tap out and spawn back in 8 secs... pff.
