Ah. Stories about idiots, always fun!

1) I'm played the Islands map, with relatively few people. Most of them are blasting/repairing the Hand of Nod or running around blowing themselves up in the tunnels.
So here I am, one PIC Sydney, watching as a flame tank comes to ransack our Weapons Factory, with no one around to defend but me.
Now PIC's may be very good against flamers, but 1 on 1 isn't very easy. So naturally I'm thinking "Oh ****!!".
So here comes the fun part, the flamer proceeds to drive right past me and start burning the Factory. I stand behind shooting it as fast as possible. When it's about half life, much to my astonishment, the driver jumped out and starting repairing it!! This is an enemy, repairing his vehicle in my base, while I'm right next to him! I watched as he repaired it to almost full, nabbed him in the back of the head, grabbed the tank and started toying around in their base with it. I couldn't stop laughing till the game was over!

2) Another Islands story. Some of you might have notice, in one of the rocks in the central Islands, there is a really dark cave running through it. After being shot at by a Mendoza, arty, stealth tank, and black hand (stealth), I barely managed to slip into the cave and *gasp* not be followed!
Right then I was puzzled whether to be joyous or extremely freaked out.
Now I run through to the other end of the little tunnel (got nothing better to do), and wait for something to drive by. Stealth tank pops up right on schedule, and stops. I start blasting it and the driver doesn't seem to clue in that the big blue beam from my PIC is coming from the tunnel right next to him. Of course, on cue, he jumps out and start repairing it.
Let me elaborate on that a bit, he jumped into the tunnel along with me and stood there repairing it.
Because of his obvious stupidity, I took out my pistol and nailed him in the ass (literrally) without him realizing I was directly behind him. There's just no hope for some people...

3) Because we keep knocking on idiots, I'll throw in a quick shot at myself, when I exclaimed in-game "Note to self: Lower orca before jumping out to repair it."
(I was tired and not paying attention okay!! =)

4) Ah, the infamous rows of snipers. Have a good sniping spot, why not bring your friends along! 5 of them standing right next to each other on the Hourglass hill, shooting at god knows what.
I take aim with Havoc and "boom", down goes one with a bullet in the head.
I quickly move to the next one and "boom", another down.
After this I would expect them all to have backed off behind the rock, but no, apparently none of them seem to careful 2 of their friends just died next to them.
So, "boom","boom", 3 and 4 go down. Unfortunatly someone else picked off 5, sigh.

5) Some people never learn.
On Mesa, there is that bridge running across right? On one side is a big canyon and the other has a little open space and a short distance between bases.
2 Nod light tanks started to go through the space there, I had just crossed the bridge with my PIC and ran into them.
Now there is a little divider there, which is "LEDGE X X X LEDGE". Tanks cannot pass it, and cannot see over it. This is where the fun part came in.
While I was outpowered, I had a massive terrain advantage. I managed to stay there, taking shots at both tanks as the idiot drivers attempted to find a way to shoot me (answer == move to higher ground and shoot down, duh). I actually kept fighting until I ran out of ammo, and got away without taken a single bit of damage the whole time.
On my way back to base I remarked I was sorry to leave them but I'd be back soon. Dunno if they regarded this but sure enough when I refilled they had decided to stick around =).
A single patch is there trying to fight them off now, and perhaps a gunner was there before since one of the tanks was fairly injued. While the other one shot at the patch, I took it out from behind the barriers. Then I simply jumped over to the over tank and, much to my *cough*suprise*cough* the techy was repairing it. Grab tank, run over techy, proclaim my ultimate power, and that's that end of that story.
