No I didn't mutter it, But Monitors don't have Microphones here at work.
Your argument is a one sided I don't like you not dying the way I want you to. There are lots of ways to play the game. You have one. I on the other hand normally die early and wrack up enough damage dealt to be one of the top three win or lose. But I don't try to shame others for being cautious or defensive. They are playing the game the right way for them.
Thank You try again!

<div>the point of playing the game is to play the game, not to avoid playing the game by hiding behind in-game objects.

<p>WELL I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE TAKING SO LONG RESPONDING SO HERE I'LL RESPOND TO YOU AGAIN</p>
<p> </p>
<p>first of all, the definitions of words are not subjective -- sorry! words have meaning, and if you are incapable of comprehending this, you do not pass go, you do not collect two hundred cbills, and you instead proceed back to kindergarten to begin the entire educational process anew, because you seem to have not been paying any attention.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div>let's imagine that we're a part of some strange reality where your post was somehow factually valid.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"useless thread is useless."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>assuming that the thread is actually useless, what is the point of making this statement? an adjective will always describe an object which is capable of being described by that adjective; the thing will always be the thing that it is. red will always be red. unless it becomes green; then it will be green instead.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the thing will always be the thing that it is, unless it becomes something else; then the thing will be that thing, instead.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i mean, you're literally operative on so unintelligible and visceral a level that you're running around, like a chicken with your head cut off, screaming at the top of your lungs, "THE ROCK IS A ROCK! THE TREE IS A TREE! THE SUN IS A SUN! THINGS ARE WHAT THEY ARE! I'M A GENIUS!"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>oh, wait, no. you're just another ***** who was "in no way whatsoever constructive."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>p.s. the word "*****" has an actual definition and you are living up to that, thus the above usage was neither derisive nor inflammatory in nature, merely factual. summarily intellectually decimated. trounced!</div>
i honestly can't recall the last time i made a post on a forum and the software / backend decided to inject HTML instead of stripping it. apparently IGP / whoever only hires kids fresh out of high school.

If the player hit launch they are playing the game. You should be more concerned with your own performance than how other play the game. You will be happier with how it goes. So lets see. I don't hide, I press the offensive, I score top 3, Whether or not my team mate is
Lets see as to why taking cover is good?
Less Missiles hit you, as well as Gauss, ACs & lasers.
Finally How do you know the player staying in cover is not having fun? What if the only thing they are concerned with is trying to stay alive till the end of the match? That is the fail of your perspective. You want us all to play your way. To many people whine and complain about things they have no control over. I'm doing it right now! I can't make you see things from a different perspective.
You are entitled to your opinion, But with that entitlement, come the fact that you will be disagreed with. I am not wrong, cause there is no right answer to your complaint.
Some questions:
1) Are you in a group?
2) Does your team have TS?
3) If not why not?
What you are complaining about is something that being on TS will resolve. If you are PUGging only, then you get what you get and there is nothing your complaining will do but make those who want to grieve you know they just need to hide behind terrain to upset you! I think I hear the Goons snickering in the background!

"If the player hit launch they are playing the game."
Great! So, according to you, the game is now running around killing teammates, into a wall, doing nothing -- ALL BECAUSE I HIT LAUNCH! LA LA LA I AM PLAYING THE GAME LA LA LA LA BLA HALAL. No.
A game implies a set of rules and objectives. The objective in assault is to "assault" the enemy -- a word, which exists, which has a definition; thus, the objective is to do that: assault. Not not-assault.
BUT THAT PROBABLY MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE FOR YOUR BRAIN HAHAHAHAHAH OH WELL THERE I GO AGAIN.

"You should be more concerned with your own performance than how other play the game"
This is called a "false truism." It falls into the same category is "conventional folk wisdom" like slathering a burn or gaping wound with butter. It is completely ***-backwards, inapplicable, and only repeated by people who are as uneducated and simple-minded as are you. I really hope you don't watch or otherwise enjoy any sports, like football, or whatever. Yeah, go tell a bunch of NFL players that. KIDS THESE DAYS, SO EASILY DOMINATED.

"So lets see. I don't hide, I press the offensive, I score top 3, Whether or not my team mate is hiding taking cover, and you are still mad?"
No one was talking about you. Nothing I said had anything to do with you; I have no idea who you are. The fact that you are attempting to make my statement about your own personal state of being is exact proof of how insane you are: you are incapable of even maintaining adherence to the established topic of conversation. There is no hope for you.
Also, I am not mad. Here, I wrote this to demonstrate your stupidity to you in greater form:
derisive assertions intersperse inchoate aspersions
girlie said i was mad, convinced she was certain
didn't know a flow logic empiricist physician was in
the raps trapped, collapsed her quantum superposition
ideal dilation, sweat's suppressed, not short of breath
pulse is nominal, no ancillary signs of stress
your ignorance is phenomenal, cognition abominable
rancid and unquaffable, intolerable as a yanni album
says i'm cute when i'm mad, what a joker, so sad
too serious, extrapolations doubleplusdangerously delirious
argument indefensible, responses cliche and stenciled
"you're mad, you're boring, you're wasting your time"
that jukebox track's attracted septillions of dimes
but check mine, it's in the centillions
to stack cash so fast is purely supervillain

****THIS IS NOT ABOUT 'TAKING COVER' -- THIS IS ABOUT REFUSING TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID OF DYING, WHEN IN REALITY IF YOU ENGAGED THEM THEY WOULD DIE INSTEAD. I HAVE WATCHED THIS HAPPEN LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF TIMES IN UNTOLD NUMBERS OF VIDEO GAMES ACROSS THE PRECEDING 15 YEARS. YOU ARE INSANE AND WRONG, BECAUSE THE ONLY REALITY YOU ARE REFERRING TO IS THE DELUSIONALLY-MANUFACTURED ONE WHICH IS ONLY A PART OF YOUR OWN FRAGMENTED CONSCIOUSNESS****

Teamspeak affords a medium of communication. If you cannot communicate adequately using the in-game text chat, you are not a skilled player. In fact, an actual, legitimately skilled player needs no communication at all, because he is already aware of what is happening and immediately responsds to it with a perfected degree of rationality -- great!

Explain to me why I am legitimately perturbed and you're not merely attempting to reduce your cognitive dissonance via the mindless parroting of a memetic, neologistic construct perpetuated by a visceral fixation with popular culture.
Yeah, you're not going to be able to do that. I am more intelligent than you. Deal with it.

Oh Dear!
Yeah done here Not only are you overbearing and wrong, your quote is broke!
I am using facts. No two people will play the game exactly alike. What facts have you brought to the conversation? You don't like players who use cover! That's it.
You don't like it. Thank you. You can go now!
