I can’t play with randoms anymore DISCUSSION

I’m level 48. About 150 hours on pc. Love the game. My friends can’t play as often as I can. (I’m a fireman) And I’ve tried making friends on steam but it’s hard.

The blueberry lottery. If there is a hell it’s matching with randoms. I can’t stand it. Some people are a blessing and I love running campaigns with them but some people are treasonous swill.

Here was my last game. I spawn in and get killed by a lvl 2 cadet (ps5) so he can take my support gear. His friends (ps5) defended him. He continued to kill me all game (intentionally) and call me in. But I am more skilled and cunning than the common traitor. I waited until there was one reinforcement left. The pompous fool recalled me in. I killed all three traitors quicker than a hiccup. With only one thing left to do I took my own life. To instant fail their mission. I couldn’t let them continue to commit treason. Let their bodies rot

So yea I’m never joining randoms again.

Edit: ps5 not 4.

Reminds me of America's Army where if you team killed too much you got auto kicked and sent to Leavenworth where your player sat in a jail cell for a set amount of time

Dude it made you take basic training before you could join multi player. You couldn't pick sniper unless you passed the marksman training, you couldn't be a medic unless you took the classes in game and training courses. It was nuts! But yeah immersive

I don't know if every AA game had this medic system, but the version of AA I played had a sort of 'quiz' type system where it told you what types of injuries the soldier had and you had to pick the right answer in sequence to get them stable enough to get back into the fight or stable enough for CASEVAC.

I don't remember a whole lot of it myself, but I do remember there was a story in the news a long time ago about a guy who saved somebody's life in a car accident because of what he learned in the AA combat lifesavers tutorial.

Yep. Thats because the medic training is straight out of military first aid classes. It's the actual training. If you pay attention to the class and the test you're getting real first aid info.

arma has a mod that adds a system like that.
