Ok...so this isn't gonna be so much a complaint thread so much as it's just an inquiry on if any of you have come across this. So I'm playing on Wake as the US and I spawn on the little island and I notice that everyone seems to be on the carrier and we're like 50 some odd tickets into the game...so I create a squad invite a few people and get in a boat and proceed to start capping flags...but I'm the only guy doing it...everyone else is back on the carrier admiring the view I guess...so I finally cap a flag and people start getting off the carrier...fortunatley once I got the ball rolling everyone seemed to remember the point of the game and start fighting...we lost but we gave them hell...I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen...feel free to relate...and please I don't want this to turn into a flame war about how I'm whining cause I'm not just curious if this happens on a large scale or not...thanks...

- Have you ever felt like you're doing all the work?
What bothers me is when I sneak around and capture the enemy's "main" base...such as the gatehouse in Karkand and rather than people setting their spawn point to the gatehouse to attack the main force from behind (or just to blow stuff up and/or help defend) they keep trying to repeatedly attack the hotel, where the majority of the MEC forces are spawning. So, now I'm left to defend the enemy's main base against the 5 or 6 guys on the MEC side that noticed their base was taken and are spawning at the Train Accident.
Happens to me all the time. C'est la vie.
All the friggin time!!!! Just ove it when evyone else is hanging out for vehicle's and I'm out in the middle of nowhere, pinned down by enemy fire and no friendlies anywhere near me...bob_6012 wrote:

Got xfire? I'm always looking for some good squadmembers to fight with.
Hell, happens all the time. Try my stats page, I'm usually stuck with 3 or 4 of my mates trying to do everything on the map. We're usually surprised to hell when somebody joins our squad and kicks some ass with us.
I hear ya man. I hate it when people don't squad up and try to help the team.
"""happen To Me All The Time"""
Army of One? *cough*
Bob, i hear you !
Happens a lot on servers.
The majority of players are joining for the fight and the score, not for winning the round as team. You and some others are seeing "the big picture"of the game, most players just look 100 feet in front of them.
They get points if they hit/supply/heal and so on, but they do not really seem to care which team wins.
This changes when they rank up, because there is an incentive of winning the round as a team/MEC/PLA/USMC to obtain certain medals/badges/ribbons and so on.
Some clans offer more teamplay, coordination and structured competition.

Is Xfire something similar ?

Nah...Xfire is kinda like AOL instant messenger...it'll say if someones online or not (if they're even signed on) and it'll say what room they're in so if ya'd like ya can go to that room and fight with them...
Man I feel that way all the time. Wether I am by myself doing all the work or I'm with my two or three gamin buddies in a squad.
Damn people never wake the f* up to change spawn points. They just huddle and fight in one freakin spot the whole map. I know exactly what you mean, its bullshit.

yeah i hate when people keep attacking the same point over and over not getting anywhere, ive been caught up in it, and thought well this isnt working i'll go attack sum random flag where no one is. bang ive got it and then like u said people seem to remeber that its about capturing the most flags not DM at the one that is closest.
i think if there were no ribbons,awards,and medals ect.. morepeople would play the game for what it is
Yeah, once I turned a loosing team into an almost wining team. I joined a Gulf of Oman map where my team was just doing barrel rolls in Blackhawks. I tried geting to shore on a RIB, but every tank, jeep, APC and Heliopter were waiting for me, (quite a sight.) We lost that by about 220 tickets. Next map was Sharqi and I just threw myself at the enemy. Took heaps of points killed heaps of guys. This time we lost by only seven tickets, and I was doing most, if not all the work. I got a Sliver medal, some Helicopter pilot in the other team got Gold.

im glad im not alone
yeah, the CAP medal... 500 Flag Captures and 1000 Capture assists
It happens all the time, I’m the only one taking the enemies bases with NO help!
The best times I have had playing this game was when I had a squad that followed me around and spawned at my location. We were unstoppable!
The noobs just don’t get it, this is a squad based game. Not a FRAG fest like Quake or DOOM (old school).

What the hell is wrong with every one?! Fucking assholes cannot team play. Dont them dickheads understand that the team MUST TAKE FLAGS to win. You cannot spawn all by the same flag and let the enemy have all teh other. All night I've jumped betweeen server but have not seen any team play. Where the NERDS spawn therre they'll stay. Felt like I was the only one capping flags. At one server it was reeeally redicilous becaus half the round was gone when I joined and I had most poins after 5mins of capping flags and killing enemies there...
I was so pissed off at the sucking team that I tried to relax as a commander, yah right. The enemy capped our base where the arty and radar was and destroyed them. I told every squad (after 5-10min when they themselves didn't understand) to go repair the asset. Everyone answered "yes sir" but no one went there. We were leading quite well but since I could absolutely not give any support what so ever the tickets started to count downwards fast.
I just left the game because I was SO pissed off at the TOTAL lack of team play. The 1.2 patch made the team players dumb, fuck you dice lol!

Well sometimes it feel I do almost everything take care of everyone and still lose. Some just don't wanna take a flag even if THEY ARE 5 METERS AWAY. Try to join squads where you can have teamwork.
so when you were off getting your knife badge i assume u were taking flags and leading the squad? these ribbons and badges are the problem, in any givin match someone is wanking off trying to earn a badge instead of playing the game. they need to make the awards relevent to the game play, its like having a medal in gran turismo for doing donuts, sure u can do them but it doesnt win the race.MrBrain wrote:

This is a little funny, I actually have a screenshot from when I got the knife badge where I'm lying and capping a flag as a sqaud membertwiistaaa wrote:

this might be part of the problem, but to get some badges and stuff, you might take few rounds for each of it - and yes, when i was getting my knife badge, i didn´t had the time for capping anything but my opfor...twiistaaa wrote:

but the main problem is, that many of the players didn´t yet realize, that this game is about teamplay... running around as a lone wolf, concentrating on spots like the hotel in karkand and so on... i also got some hours playing lone wolf, but my best rounds were those with my squadmates and teamspeak!
positive about that is: imagine, that the other team would always be well organised by a supervising commander, squadleaders with tactical skills and squadmember which follow orders? i´ve already had the pleasure to fight against those - and lost every round against them!
so at least - the more ego-shooters your enemy has, the bigger are your chances to lead your team to victory
