10 Things Only Battlefield Players Will Understand
4. Wondering Why Your Team Is Losing... Before Realising Half Of Them Are Sniping At The Back Of The Map
Battlefield players love playing tactically. Whether that’s
capturing a strategic objective to help push the team forward, or blowing up a
defensive vehicle to allow allies through, the series rewards playing the
objective.
It can be disheartening, then, when after capturing a hotly contested objective, alone, for the third time in what feels like a matter of seconds, you review the map to see a large cluster of blue/green dots slap bang at the edge of the map, like an immovable, demented hedgerow.
Since when did Recon mean sit at the back like a schoolkid who’s not done their homework?
It wouldn’t be too bad if they spotted a few enemies once in a while, but the team strategy usually consists of taking drunken potshots at the other equally useless snipers sitting back at the enemy spawn.
Meanwhile, the map’s turning redder than Satan’s acne, and with every respawn there seems to be enemies inching just that little bit closer.
It can truly feel like a lost cause, since one person, no matter how hard they fight, usually can’t change the outcome for an entire team.
Well, not without a few cheeky C4 covered Jeeps, anyway.
