…but more of an intent to start hanging out on your server and playing with you.
One of the things I noticed my first day with BF2 is how important good teamwork is. In the few games I was lucky enough to join a squad that actually worked together. The games became lopsided because we were the only ones working together. Four people in a humvee roll in and cap a flag so fast, its nuts. Or try defending when you get hit from 3 sides at the same time. Can you say "Crossfire?" A good squad can also hold a flag all day against a disorganized stream of lone wolves.
Those were also hands down my most enjoyable games to date. A well balanced squad is self sustaining, deadly, and a moving spawn point to boot. A nice side affect of this is your score is usually pretty high also since you get a lot of kill assists and flag caps.
To that end, I knew pretty early that I was going to want to join up with a good clan to get the most out of the BF2 experience. I have played on a few different clan servers so far and seen one annoying tendency. I won't name the clan since it isn't polite, but they had five of there guys on each team each in their respective big transport choppers and they were just going ring-around-the-rosey point farming. They would pass each other in the air and not even shoot at each other!! And while I can actually understand why they're doing it (weapon unlocks are just a plain bad feature), it makes for a very unenjoyable game. You folks seem to emphasize fun first, and stats second so that's why I'm here (that, and your members seem to have a firm grasp of the English language and speak in complete sentences…)
On a 32-man map, by myself, I tend to be a solid 20-30 pts/round guy with my kills and deaths more or less even. I don't have a favorite class and have played them all with a slight bias toward assault and against sniper. I don't have the best reflexes or aim, but I'm patient and smart about how I play.
I will be picking up a headset here in the near future and that should help a lot. Other than that I just plan to show up and play. If we like playing together, great, ask me to join, otherwise, I'll move on. No hurt feelings, everyone has different play styles, and clans tend to be groups of like-minded players.
