is there a way to "ban" airstrikes?

[Dead_And_Gone]

Maps with lots of buildings, it sucks getting an airstrike, as noone dies.. lol

I have been a victim of an air strike, Respawn, and the gunship blasts me
immediately.. Just no winning some times..

"Ranked Servers" of which we are one, cannot disable UAV, Choppers, or airstrikes.

Is there a difference between ranked and unranked, because either one does not cost anything to run right?

I don't mind the airstrikes really. Yeah, they're annoying when you die repeatedly to them or you watch a group of people on your team refuse to spread out to avoid getting slaughtered by them, thus giving the other team mad points lol. Usually, I just run to somewhere I hope is safe and hope for the best lol. When I do get caught in them...it's time to just put the ol' head between the legs and kiss your butt goodbye and chalk it up to being in the wrong place at the wrong time heh.

wow. thread from the dead.

most i got was... well I don't remember the streak, I just remember seeing +100 on there, and then I think I got like 2 more... I just remember I was like, holy crap.

Yeah..

I always die right before I call in my airstrike .. on purpose hoping to get another. I died, respawned, and called in the airstrike. It went straight to 10 kill streak with the first bomb. I hate that cause I'd rather have the airstrike than the helo. It usually takes half the round to get the helo up but I finally got it, and you can't get another airstrike while you have a heli loaded so that kinda sucks. I was quite happy with it anyway seeing as how I had more than twice the number of kills of the next person on my team.

When I first started reading these forums, someone had a tips thread up, and someone who I wish I could remember posted that if you switch to pistol, and then call your heli repeatedly, you will get it up faster than someone who tries to call with a larger weapon equipped. This has gotten me more helis than I can count. I pay real close attention when I hear a heli going down, or if it seems like it's been up for a while, I hide and wait for it to start heading out of the playing area, then switch to pistol, and keep hitting 6. I almost always get it up right after I do that.

Helis are useless on Bloc - btw. As are airstrikes. I hate that about Bloc. I really like that map, but man, the only place you can really drop an airstrike is in the middle of the map, and most people stay out of there. My helis never like killing anyone on that level, either.

On bloc.. depending on what team you're on... if you drop an airstrike on the top of the second story, there is no roof and you're likely to take out a few of those snipers. I usually place it on that building right above the entrance to that building so it gets the ones inside, and the ones running to it. It may also take out ones running out in front down the sidewalk.
