I'm seeing all these threads complaining about Long Tom and Scouting.
This is nothing new. Why complain now? Because there happens to be a FP event?


Where were these threads last month? Or the month before that?
Where were all these players? Blissfully scrubbing it up in tier 4 quickplay?

When this event is over, scouting will be dead again, and invasion will be back on life support.
All you puggles will be back to queuing quickplay and buying mechpacks.

So please save the outrage for a game mode you actually give a crap about.

It's a great late April Fool's joke.

1.) Always stand up for what you believe in.

2.) Even without pugs to lose scouting, Invasion matches that start before the ceasefire but whose match extends through it will (seemingly at random) face the Long Tom with no warning.

3.) This whole event has been constructed by PGI to illicit FP feedback from people that aren't regular forum goers before he makes the next big decision. Russ doesn't want our opinions; he already knows them and regularly dismisses them. #island He wants feedback from the potatoes that never come here (possibly because some self-aggrandizing part of him is convinced that he only makes good decisions.)

call me crazy, but regarding longtoms or getting longtom'd, i was more angry with the group leader than i was with game mechanics

sometimes longtoms catch you by surprise


its meant to be the ultimate reversal of fortune


does it need tweaking? sure, but so does most of CW lololol

They've been here non stop since april. All that changed is most people gave up and quit FW already so nobody really posted most the time and prior to Galahad and the event CJF was intentionally not scouting to LT.

Not the case now, more people playing under it and it's being scouted up.

People have been complaining about long tom for months. its just that there is now a dozen threads about it since the event is running. it has been mentioned since at LEAST may when they borked the settings.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind trying to attack against a Long Tom defended base, it just so happens that all our pugs are scouting the Arty for our side not the other.

I still think the basic idea is a good one. It gives teams a reason to care about scouting.
