Todays Trend Seems To Be...

TheOctagon, on 13 December 2010 - 12:57 AM, said: I noticed (and got killed) on quite a few maps today, that most heavies and mediums aren't even bothering to stop the lights that are rushing the base. Now before the flames begin, Kudo's to those tankers that do.
I look across the base when I see the mini-map light up, see all 10 green dots surrounding him and figure they'll do their jobs and kill him.
Next thing I know, the same light tank is capping AND EVERYONE'S STILL MOVING AWAY FROM BASE! The arty has to deal with him, and we lose a few everytime because HE'S SPOTTING FOR HIS OWN ARTILLERY!
Now, all the tanks that let him go by get pummeled by the enemy artillery, which is getting no counter-artillery fire due to the fact they were killed in the beginning. Suddenly its the artillery that gets told that they suck for not doing their jobs?! Frak THAT!
You know their going to rush with light tanks. It happens every map these days. Even on Campinova there's always one or two guys in light tanks who try to scoot across the middle, and usually get one or two units killed by our opponents side. Again, because his artillery is watching.
It only takes a few seconds to finish those guys off and your not starting the match two units in the hole before the real battle begins.
Sorry for ranting guys, but losing matches is mostly due to the fact that:
No one RETREATS when they should. Tanks are blowing up all around them but screw it, just keep going!
Their using their mad rushing skills(I laugh here), get to a bottleneck, the lead tank stops and everyone behind him is artillery fodder. And the ARTLLERY sucks for killing them. Okee, how about that guy up front...
Teamwork. I'm not even going to try to explain. Watch some sports maybe?
Communication. Get told to 'stfu' a few times and why bother calling for help at all? If they cap, it can always get blamed on somebody else for being a 'n00b' team.
Nobody covers anybody else. Pretty self explanatory.
I applaud those gamers who say 'gg' at the end of a match. It shows sportsmanship is not completely dead. Just dying.
I could keep going, but I'm sure there will be a few added in later posts.
Okay I'm ready, let the flaming begin..
