people still gen rush in this game? I saw it once in the last 6-12 months from a CSJ unit and thought wow I forgot those things (gens) existed

[JohnPPCina]

lol, naterist are you one of those college students that got crayons, and pizza parties to comfort their loss? when was the last time you played a shooter game and got in a CTF match and whinned about the other team capping the flag? how dare anyone actually go to the circle in domination?!

gtf over it, its an objective, we take it. especially when we're the only 12 dropping on a planet and trying to take it, we have to actually get done with matches.

also, we dont always gen rush, we commonly do on attacks, but our leaderboard backs up the fact that we can hold down planets, and yeah we've sucked some matches recently, but such is the luck when trying bring up and train new players.

and for a final note. WE DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

Match is a match.

IDC if people gen rush or whatever. Rarely lose to it, so it's EASY money and usually a fast game... I don't see the issue?

Let the gen-rushers earn 200k cbills for 20mins of failure while I earn 800k+. Suits me just fine.

This thread constructed an evening of really fun games.

My guys had some really fun matches against the CSJ's and we rushed/they rushed, then we killed/they killed....IMO it's the DC that makes the difference. Knowing when you HAVE to rush the objectives and when you can safely brawl it out....then again what do I know? I'm just a drunk Scotsman

What is this? The objective is to destroy the generators, so what is the problem?

The issue is some forgot how to defend against the gen rush, but even then it can be extremely difficult to convey that in a PUG setting. People were doing it before the gens were beefed up, covered up, etc, just not as often. It was easier to do vs IS mechs than Clan mechs but if the team waits to engage it makes it extremely difficult. And if said pug team is equip primarily with energy weapons, it is even tougher, especially if the Clan team is loaded for med/close range ballistics, srms and smaller energy weapons.

It is like trying to get people to shoot at the lights legs but most hits are in the arms/torsos, allowing that light to dance away instead of it trying to crawl away before it is finished off.

Need to bring back voice overs for multiple objectives

Defense :
Pimary objective : Protect Omega
Secondary Objective: Destroy all enemy mechs
Tiertiary Objective : QUIT WHINING when you fail your PRIMARY objective.

Intresting Topic ...
sadly OP doesnt get it, that he is the problem.

As stated, by many others, the defending team does have plenty of ways making genrushes impossible/disastrous.

@OP
If you get repeatedly genrushed by the same guys and arent capable of coming up with tactics to counter it ...
yeah man ...
maybe you should follow your advice about leaving the game mode.

The defender is at an advantage. You have turrets, you can set up superior firing lines ... hell you can even surprise them and charge them heads on. But you decide to go blind and wait for the inevitable.

And lets be ******* honest if you think you are a superior, experienced, battlehardend mechpilot and you cant stop some clan scrubs from taking your gens ... maybe you arent and you should improve.
Get some advice from units/players that simply wipe genrush attempts, probably it will serve you better than whinig at the forum.

imagine this scenario:

1- you play broken game mode and are in it for
fun (i.e. cw)
2- spend thirty minutes assembling group and waiting in lobby. finally get match.
3- 12-man will full back armor rushes in, no skill, kills gens
4- dynamics of game (heat etc) mean it's impossible to shoot through 48 legs before fragile gens die

that's why we get salty when peeps gen rush. it's counter to being fun.

This is an important question to answer. 2 reasons not to gen rush.

1. Hockey: There are humans alive that can block the entire net with their bodies. Why doesn't a NHL team just hire one of those fatsos right after they crane him out of his bed room and prop him up in front of the net?

2. Men don't pull hair and grab balls in a fair fight.

So, gen rushers are just fat girls.


Edit: My mom isn't fat.

Generator-rushing is a viable strategy.

And it can be a winning one.

It's also legal.

Deal with it...by learning how to protect the generators and the base from this kind of attack.

[Kira Onime]

You should ask yourself questions if a team is able to run through you to your gens.

This is what happened. BNB Gen Rushed us. The acquired a red square. Now its time to defend. Cbill made by them 250k and a win. Now its time for them to defend what they captured. We smacked them around and ate their lunch. They lost the red square. What did they learn absolutely nothing. What did they gain absolutely nothing. They still can't fight for ****. What was the whole point of the Gen RUsh . If they cannot hold what they captured.
