TKing has gone down (by me anyway)

Please feel free to use this as a study piece for server admins to prevent TKers from sticking around, and also use it as a wish list to EA to prevent some types of TKing.

Well I was just on DC, and I have noticed it is a lot harder to properly TK anymore without getting kicked, harassment is still easy, but TKing is a lot more effort than it used to be. First off I try to find a server that is playing Lost Villiage, because BHawk harassing is fun, and also has 0-5% FF. SO after some searching I find one with like 20 or so people in the game. It begins. I start the round off in a fairly civil manner, going several rounds before I start screwing around. I amount a ratio of 10 and 4 before starting to screw around (I really started because of provocation from a teammate who was TWing and BHawk camping) ANd once provoked I releash my ways to everyone. So I start by taking a BHawk and proceed to hover it around the base until another vacant one fills with troops, at that point I just drop my chopper onto their actually registering the other pilot with the TK because I had bailed out seconds prior to the explosion. SO I am sitting pretty with myself thinking I am invincible having a good time watching my teammates rage and yell.

However this is when things started going wrong. I take another chopper and actually get killed en route to my next victim by enemy RPG's. (The nerve) And at that point I am a little agitated, so aside from mounting a good strategy I just mortar a BHawk with 2 people inside thus registering me with a 6, 10, and 6. After that I take another BHawk and decide to try my strategy to let the other pilot get the TK again. So I take the chopper and actually try to drop it into a chopper that was landed on the Iraq warehouse roof, but I missed the E button and it registered me with the TK, so I prepare to get kicked, but nothing happened. At that point I am really happy, because I think that I can't be kicked unless by an admin. So then just in case I decide t lye low in the home base and just try to piss them off by YELLING whatever popped into my head trying to annoy them.

So after about 10 minutes of just YELLING and trying to make my teammates angry, I decided that TKing was a lot more fun and proceeded to boobytrap every chopper with four C-4packs waiting for my teammates to take off, after two were in the air I blew the packs and got 3 TK's out of it, which really wasn't that bad, but it should have been better. However surprisingly I was then autokicked, or maybe voted, I am not sure. I told everyone how to kick me, so maybe they did, I am not used to team response to voting. But I will list some things that every admin should know about TKers and how to deal with them.


1)Always have an autokick after 3 or 4 TK's, if someone does 4 accidental TKs they are smacktard n00bs that need to practice on normal BF1942 longer.

2)Keep friendly fire on 100%, most smart TKers avoid it, because they get kicked quickly from those, unless they intend on team wounding and getting others kicked or verbally harassing. And even if a TKer comes in, he wil get kicked quickly because of autokick.

3)Try and have admins on hand at all times. This is just a general rule, but a good one to get rid of TKers quickly.

4)Don't fall into what they want, if you stat arguing with a TKer, and noticibly get angry by TKing him etc, than you do nothing but prepetuate it. Just stay away from them if possible and you wont notice.

5)Vehicles are a TKers means of TKing, especially planes, so take them when you can, and try to keep them from the TKers. And if he is gaurding the planes, then leave them alone, he will get bored after a while.

6)If you don't want TKing, then don't do n00b/smacktard stuff like spawn camping, plane camping, team wounding, and they may not be drawn into it like I was.

7)Try to piss a TKer off, and the only way I get pissed of is being killed by another enemy, if you can make it happen, do it, like leading a tank to his postion etc. something to that effect. Just try to be creative with it, like not shooting incoming choppers etc.

8)If you really want a TKer gone, and don't mind personal sacrifice, try to put yourself into the line of fire (running over his mines etc. to register TK's and get him kicked) be creative with this as well.

9)If all else fails join a clan and only play clan matches.

**And just as a note, don't expect to end all TKing, we are inventive and creative, you may stop n00b TKers but the truly good ones are always going to be there in some form or another. I hope that in some way this guide may be of some help to you in ending/coping with TKers, they are a part of the BF1942 society, and are going to stay, but the more you learn about them the more you will be able to cope with them and still enjoy your game as we enjoy ours.
