We, the Cleric, have created a brief list of requirements that you must meet to rock the CLERIC prefix while playing Battlefield 2. Here they are:
1) If you have an insane gaming computer with four $650 SLI graphics cards, 12 gigs of Corsair memory, a 5000 GB hard-drve, and most importantly, a super-fast internet connection, your Latency (ping) absolutely cannot equal your IQ. If this is true, please get help.
2) Q: You are on the Essex carrier in Wake Island (as USAF) and you witness a teamate who manages to flip his Cobra helicopter upside down, crashing into the flight-deck. He respawns and gets back into the Cobra to give it another shot. You have an M95 handy, one glass-piercing bullet in the chamber. What do you do?
A: Duh, your answer better have been to shoot the bastard right in the head. While this may encourage idiots to copy your tactic, and with a few exceptions, this is the only teamkilling acceptable by the Clerics. Take that punishment like a man. Help your teamate, first by killing him, then by informing him of the multiple single-player maps with helicoptors available for practice.
3) Q: This scenario is similar to (2). We just want to make sure you have the ability to tell the difference between similar events, in other words, the ability to reason quickly. Again, you are on the Essex carrier in Wake Island (as USAF). This time, however, you were just hit by your commander's artillery while waiting for the cobra respawn. Your utter confusion changes to frustration when you see two teamates, who have just respawned, get into the Cobra. The rotors begin turning. You promtly right-click to sight the pilot in your M95's crosshairs. Suddenly, the teamate's name appears, but its GREEN! (hopefully you understand that green means he is in your squad) What do you do?
A: Obviously, cease fire! Lets put it this way: Shoot the CLERIC squadmember pilot and the rotating gatling gun on the Cobra will be your last memory playing with us. Actually, the only reason we would get into any vehicle when another Cleric was waiting for it would be to prevent other teamates from taking it. If you had shot the CLERIC squadmember pilot by mistake, no big deal, just make sure you reload quickly to get rid of that teamate who was spamming "E" to get in. Also remember that, in a rare case a Cleric does take off without you, the aircraft is in good hands (unless it's CLERIC Haunteo, jk)
Great, soldier! If you answered the above correctly, you know you are:
1) Intellegent enough to understand that the attack helicopter gunner cant see shit when you hover right off the ground...
2) Able to reason fast enough to get that helicopter in the air and alligned for gunner to hit that tank with the t.v. missile...
and 3) If you hovered too low and didnt notice that tank behind you before it was too late, you are not an asshole enough to type (to your CLERIC squadmember): "FAGGOT NOOB, Y U NOT BLOW TANK UP?"
But hold up there...one more requirement. You have to play with us. We arent "AZN PWR playerz," but we are pretty good. We'll see you on the battlefield!
