I get that for some this seems like a pointless rewards weekend. If you have the Storm crow already, or have plenty of bays, this challenge doesn't give much incentive to try and get the most points per match we can.
What I find odd is, that so many complainers on the forums regarding how this game is nothing more than a first person shoot death match. So PGI, puts forth a challenge that rewards us better for not just shooting all the enemy mechs till they are all dead. One that if you are at a advantage in the game, you could in fact leave one or two zombie enemy mechs instead of getting that last kill... You and team could take advantage of getting 20 points by capping or taking the enemy teams base.
Out of around 50 games played today, only in three of them did our team try to get the extra points of capping or base taking. With team work, and players not worried about their almighty K/D ratio, we got the player base 20 points instead of 10 those games.
The rest of the games, well, either we wasn't able to choose, or they were not conquest or assault, or we lost, or in many of the games.... Players just didn't care and took the kills instead. Why???
I have tried to inform and ask teammates if they want to try for the extra points at the start of every match. Last match I played, one player responded back, "Why, this game is just a death match." Well, the irony of this to me is that, he is one of them that are making this game just a death match.
While I like the challenges that PGI is having most of the time, they seem to be getting harder and harder to complete. I am not one to believe that hitting 450000 points is gonna be easy in three days of play, unless all of us players try to max out every match we play, if we can. So far, in the games I have played, we have missed out on a total of 100 points we could of had towards the total. Why? Simply because some just want that kill, and don't care about the goals put forth by PGI to make us want to do something other than a death match.
I really am hoping CW will be a different story, but some how with some players attitudes, I seriously doubt it will be.
Pretty sad IMO....
Thank you for the few players who really play as a team, and try to win the most for their team if able to do so. I look forward to playing CW with you, and this game even in PUG drops. The ones that are open to team play, are the ones that make this game more fun and much more interesting than all the lets just kill'em guys. I hope all your guys K/D ratio's are worth the lack of real tactics and team play. We are the only ones that can change the way this game is played.... simple!
