Kind of like real life, I'd think. “A couple lessons I’ve learned - don’t be an infantryman for long, it sucks, you just die alot and all of the Vanu weapons seem to suck the big one.”

I'd be fine with rejoining any of them though. Let me tell you though, for the first 2 hours I played I died 25 times and got 1 kill. Then I got in a tank with some random guy, joined a massive offensive and had soon got my kills and deaths even. One of the better moments was when we (the tank I was gunning for and 6 or so other heavy tanks) crested a hill followed by air support and a small legion of infantry to meet 3 or 4 of the terran heavy mechs and sundry lighter vehicles. Needless to say a massive battle erupted and it was awesome. Somehow we managed to survive this battle and got some needed repairs and forged onwards until a reinforced wave of terran air support drove us back. Tanks versus helicopter = bad for the tanks. Eventually we got some anti-air ground cover working and got back into the fight. This went on for about 45 minutes or so until I got a phone call and realized I needed to stop playing games. A couple lessons I've learned - don't be an infantryman for long, it sucks, you just die alot and all of the Vanu weapons seem to suck the big one. Sniper rifles are worse then useless. To get rid of the "AWP Syndrome" you encounter in counterstrike they have made the sniper rifles ridiculously weak and innacurate. I’m on the east coast server part of the vanu sovereignty.
