Why do people take out Alpha and Beta when the enemy clock is still at 1:00. They should be figting. So frustrated when this happens

You're seem to be rather new, so you're probably on a low tier (5,4). Your reason is the fact that you get matched with newbies or total casuals that sometimes don't even understand the game modes too much.

Lack of understanding



No real reason for it to cap at 1 Min, and is there any internal documentation for the game mode?

Why would we need something like that? It is intuitively obvious is it not? The large red structures on the minimap are not to be shot at. Duh. I mean why would a new player think the glaring red objects, which take damage, should only be shot at a specific point in time and only in certain conditions. Clearly if they had a deep, historical understanding of BT and MW as all players are expected to have, everyone would understand this mechanism immediately, no?




The NPE of this game is atrocious and if PGI would let us help draft text files...simple god damn text files, for insertion into pop up windows in the Academy, during a players cadet phase, or even just the first time they play a mode, etc. (or they could, ya know, just do it themsleves); maybe new players wouldn't be potatoes for so long? But I guess PGI wants it this way...it being their game and all that. Geezus these people and their insistence at refusing to give even a hint of effort at making the game easier for new players. Drives me nuts.

As one who's recovering from something like a cold, you have no reason to excuse yourself. You need rest mister.
