People playing support roles just to be a valuable contributor to the team are few and far between in team FPSs, in my personal experience (but then I only got in on FPS goodness in CS b3.1, so I'm still a bit of a n00b), but when such action is rewarded there will be people doing it. As an example, in America's Army, on servers where scores aren't being tracked and it's all about frags, you can bleed to death right in front of the team medic and he won't even blink. On some tracked servers, where being an active medic is a great way to score big time, you see medics queuing up to give first aid.

But why would that make this invalid?
Basically it comes down to if it is supported in the game and it's fun for people to play with it then people will tend to play with it. If it sucks to play it then they won't. For some reason apparently BF2 was built in such a way that one or more of the avatar types suck (player has little personal reward to play). It doesn't match up with any siginficant personality group that plays the game and so it doesn't get used. That it is a "support role" avatar is largely incidental. |

Self-imposed cooldown time, I'll try to remember to address that tomorrow.

After cooling down you might want to spend a little thinking time addressing it first. It should save you a post. :P |

i wouldn't worry about it, Kage. blakkie's not here to hash out anything conclusive, or even just to debate. he's here to be an asshole and piss people off. when he gets like this, it's generally not worth replying to him at all.

You are just a no worries kind of guy, hey? You certainly don't worry about backing up your mouth. Oh ya, only 5 or 6 hours tops to write the backstory in total canon for a great playable computer game. Nothing but Bull and Shit....and Bull just left town. Your solution being just copy and past the P&P game and it'll all play great. :please: |

The more I read about this game the more I think its sort of like Will Smith's I Robot without the robots.

That's what happens to snipers that sit and squat too long. Someone comes along and drops a grenade in their nest. To top it off he tries to pretend he is all mr. hash out and constructive when really all he's showing up to do is what he specializes in. Bitch, whine, and moan. |

haha, nah. Will Smith's I Robot had a single-player campaign (c'mon, i can't be the only one who though "boss fight!" during the tunnel scene). |
