This happened a few nights ago on the Basrah Nights (where is a spell checker when I need one). I was playing around and a guy joined the map on the other team. It was just the 2 of us in the game. I was on the wall where it goes over top the entrance to my base and I saw him driving the pickup truck towards the base so I started dropping C4 from the wall. One of them accidentally landed in the back of the truck. When I saw this I decided to take a few shots at him to make him think i was trying to kill him. He ran as fast as he could, got the flag and got back in the truck. I let him escape with the flag, about 2/3rds of the way across the map he typed "Got your flag, hehehe" and I typed back "Really.." then I blew him up. He was far enough away to think he was clear but not far enough to get to the flag after re-spawning. He had a good sense of humor about it. " Edit:
This happened a while back. I was in a game with about 12 people. The map changed to Market Garden. No one came into the new map except this guy that said he just bought the game and is still trying to learn the controls. He jumped in a tank and I shot him once - weakened him . He was a little upset so I told him if he can find me, I will let him kill me. To help him find me, I would fire at walls and such so he could find me, after a while he was getting annoyed. Another person came into the game on his side and the original guy asked the new guy to help find me. The new guy said he found me and the original guy told him to kill me. The new guy typed "are you sure you want me to do that?" and the original guy told him I was making him mad so kill me. He fired his tank and blew the original guy up. The original guy typed "WTF.. why did you do that." the new guy told him I was sitting on top of his tank. We got a good laugh out of it. He did not know how to use his different camera angles yet. I told him how after that. "
Edit:
I was on No Fly Zone and I was protecting the flag. I went to jump on top of the Harrier to plant C4 but some guy grabbed our flag so I got into prone position, I figured I would shoot him as he went by but he grabbed the harrier. I am lying on top of his plane as he took off. He did not go streight up because of SA3 coverage. I was on his plane all the way back to his base. When he bailed, I bailed to. I hit my chute after he did getting me to the ground faster. He landed on the tarmack and I shot him with the RPG and I started to run out after our flag, he dropped, but then the other team opened fire on me, I jumped on that flag just as I died - got the flag back.

This just happened. Playing Iwo as an Iraqi on a 30 man server. I was the last person to join the server but my score was climbing fast as I defended the airport from some trees with the BDRM. I was mowing down helis, jets and infantry coming from the beach left and right. I was jazzed! Then some guy on my team named "Frankie" runs up, looks at me, and decides to take me for a spin. He drives down to the beach and proceeds to hit every bump and pilon in site while Im yelling NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE! As the vehicle is just about to blow he hops out and starts running. I couldnt help it, I put a couple rounds in his back. This was when I discovered FF was on and I died instantly. <score goes down>
I requested as nicely as possible that he NEVER TAKE MY ****** VEHICLE AGAIN! to which he replied some string of obscenities. I respawned and as luck would have it there was Frankie running in front of me. By this time I was about to blow a blood vessel so to hell with ethics Frankie was goin down! I knew I couldnt shoot him, but I wondered what c4 would do? After a short chase he stopped ( I think he was typing?) and I dropped a c4 charge at his feet and backed up. I died instantly, but so did he, it was worth it. <score goes down>
By this time Ive given up on getting any medals but I manage to snag a frogfoot and park back at my original location. As Im waiting for a target to appear I notice alot of other teamates are also having a nice verbal exchange with Frankie. (apparently he gets around) Thats when I see him running towards a mig and after a second of hesitation I blow the mig to pieces just as he's approaching it. <insert swear words here> Frankie spots me and comes running over, this time all he can do is be a passenger but I wait for a grenade or c4 or something to appear. Nothings happening and I dont like sitting there with him so I decide to drive over and take off in the newly spawned mig knowing damn well he'll try to blow it and me up when I get out. I back up to it, point the gun the other way and make a run for it. Sure enough, as Im gettting air I hear bullets hitting my tail but I make it away with minimal damage.
Im only in the air for a minute before the allies go on a major push and all the flags start turning. A stinger hits me and Im almost dead so I head for the hill, arc upwards and bail high above. I hit my chute way to early and as Im drifting down I see many allied players swarming around the hill top. <death is imminent> None of them appear to see me and miracle of miracles I see a tank spawn just as Im coming in so I aim and start smashing the E button. SUCCESS.
Im in a tank and allied players are flying left and right! I retake the flag and head down the hill to recap the others. As Im waiting for flags to turn I notice Frankies name in grey several times. Somehow he's getting multiple teamkills and pissing off the entire team. Last flag to cap is ahead and I come raging in blowing up enemy bradleys and infantry like theres no tomorrow! OMG it was sweet! <thank you repair pad>
Clock runs out and we have won. Im in first place by 2 points and I get the gold medal. Frankie had 0! This was the most frustrating and satisfying round I ever played. Kinda wierd. Its also the first time Ive intentionally tk'd but its hard to feel guilty. I think in this case it was justified!
Wow, that got really long, but it sure feels good to vent! If your reading this Frankie, BITE ME!
