10 Things Only Battlefield Players Will Understand
5. That One Guy Who Thinks He's Maverick From Top Gun
Every Battlefield player knows (or is) someone like this. At the start of every match, they immediately scramble for the best Helicopter of Jet on the map, and then spend the rest of the game lording over the skies like it’s their own private airspace.
They’ll dodge rockets, missiles and anti-aircraft trucks with ease, flipping and spinning like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar. It’s a shame there’s no in-game motion sickness.
What’s worse is that the furthest thing from this person’s mind is helping anyone but themselves - usually dominating the top of the leaderboard like an irritable tyrant, but doing nothing to help the team tactically besides pissing the other players off.
C’s being taken? Eh, so what?
The enemy has the bomb? Who cares?
There’s a lone enemy on the opposite side of the map sitting still and not really bothering anyone? Time to fly down there and splat them over the propellers, ASAP.
The most infuriating thing, however, is that this playstyle does take a modicum of skill to pull off, and any spiteful copycats usually get blown out of the sky quicker than a Hydrogen airship. Secretly, as much as we hate the Red Baron wannabes, we all wish we were them, too.
