I'm not a great pilot and rarely do I pull some useful tactics out of my rear. But I do know a few things. This has happened many times today. And I'm sure it has happened to all of you.

Goal: Capture enemy base or defend yours

We start off the match with no comms no typing nothing. Dead silence. Everyone starts to scatter. "Stay together", I say and " watch out base, we should defend it". I figured the enemy was going to go around us (since there is a huge mountain between us and them). But no one listens. They all want to go to the platform and fight. Everyone just wants to get points or xp or kills. So I keep saying "guys we need to turn around and go back to our vase". Dead silence. Everyone is just walking around and we see nothing but open space. Also were not even near the enemy base. It is still half way across the Map.

So its obvious. There is no enemy in sight. The enemy base is pretty far away. And I know that the enemy has gone around us. I say it again " we need to get to our base now!" Then it happens. " your base is being captured ". All of a sudden everyone turns around. People start using comms. Going " your all idiots" and " bad game guys". At this point I'm furious. By the time we even get back to our base the enemy will have already captured it.
I'm ranting and raving. I always have fun when I play and rarely get mad. But this has happened like 4 or 5 times today. Use your comms or at least type something. Eh well I'm done. Back to the game for me. Have a good weekend everyone. And remember! Communication is good. Teamwork is good. Take command if you have to. And for the love of God, defend your base.

If i had a nickel for the obligatory "stay together"

Capping when the even is based around match score is beyond silly.

[CDLord HHGD]

Expecting Skirmish play-style on an Assault mode match is beyond silly.

People in T4 land were pretty quick to follow suggested tactics today. I was playing on a T4 account and we got a lot of lopsided wins when they followed where I told them to go (except for that one time we went left on Caustic).

Welcome to voip hell. This sh*t is common. It is frustrating, but you just can't help for the clueless who refuse to use voip, or worse, those that do but don't co-operate.

I've lost count of the number of times I've used voip to suggest to the team that we figure out where the reds are before running halfway across a map, but they're like lemmings and move for the sake of moving without having any idea where they're going or why they particularly need to be there.

Usually I get some dumbarse suggest that I get a faster mech. Is that really what this game has come to, that we can't run Dires because they can't hare across a map and the team doesn't give a sh*t about leaving them behind?

Apparently yes, it has come to that. GG PGI.
