They sneer at people without vehicles, believing them to be unimportant infantry elements and less important to the game than they are. They have seen the enemy flag but have never moved it from the stand, as you would have to exit the vehicle to grab it. They are offended and miffed when Heavies fail to jump in the APC they have prepared to bring them to the enemy.

This terrifies me. I know first hand there is no audience on earth louder and more difficult to please than the moron flight sim grognards.

These players often enjoy objective-based FPS's like BF1942 and RTCW.

Brings a tear to my eye.

D&D forevar.

The RangerX
Jumps into medium armor with a remote inv station on his back and heads for the enemy base thinking he's in heavy. He rapidly becomes puzzled by his lack of speed, and then complains that his damn favorites script is borked and didn't give him a mortar! Dies right in front of the enemy farmer giving him a fresh remote station. Later takes credit for the eventual win claiming that his medium inv rush tactic confused the enemy.
