When did this become the thing to do? I've lost count of the times when in a lance vs lance situation i've engaged a target and the rest of my lance has legged it to cover leaving me in a 4vs1.

I think the time has come to add destructable enviroments so the cowards on both sides can be shot out of cover.


Vented and rant done.

Sometimes retreat is the best option.

Trees and concrete walls provide superior protection to military-grade armor :-)

Yeah, when you're all "Leeeeeeroooooy!" and they're all common sense... hate that.

Covers fine . but sittin in the ditches or sleeping behind a wall is whole 'nother story.

Nade type weapons too.

They are really needed, not only to provide real advantage to scouting/awareness and to keep teams on their toes, but also as a method of keeping games within that timeframe of reason, a match is 15 minutes, which is not really enough time to fully take advantage of defensive plays and potentials, the base game is one set up for a brief engagement, but many of the modes make it too easy to 'dig in'.

Area control prevents this and helps to keep combat flowing in a big way, we need it in our main guns not just as an airstrike consumable.

PUGs are gonna PUG ...

Just like others in this thread they are gonna tell you that unlike you they are being "smart", using cover and tactics and stuff. Doesn't matter that you die first doing 500+ dmg and they die last doing 200 dmg at best, they are still smarter than you because they use cover and tactics.

Keep calm and farm bads.

I love it. I can easily flank around whole teams and tear a new one in them snipers, lurm boats and clueless/careless pilots who show their behinds. Lbx and mg's love that juicy naked structure.
Flanking seems so easy these days.

A couple of things:

1. Not everyone in your lance is going to be outfit for the type of fighting you're doing, some are going to be close range, some are going to be long range and some are going to be LRMs (shudder).

2. Sometimes it is better to lose one mech and try to fight from cover than lose 4 when faced with superior tactics and weight.



Judging a bad push before it becomes a catastrophe can leave the person who was first dead and frustrated enough to go to the forums to vent. Not all players are cowards, a good portion of them are I can assure you but sometimes they are making the right decision.




Go have some fun, cool off first and vent but try to have fun.

On average, what happens on your side also happens on the other side - use that to your advantage...

Btw, i can provide you with a whole list of bad stuff happening all over by "my team", in the end the only thing that is really consistent and fully under control is your own gameplay. Better investment to work on your own play then to get distracted by random other people.

There's using cover. And then there's abusing cover.

Use cover to move cover to cover. Not stay there, and wait for the enemy to find you.

[Bud Crue]

Meh.

A year ago it was all "why can't I get a team to push!!?"
In the current meta it is now "why does my team always try to push into a gauss/erppc firing line!!?"

Whadiyagonado?

I KNOW the time has come that all the 'hiding' whiners get lined up on one side of the map with no weapons and shot.

Except he was left in a 4 on 1 because his 3 lance mates left him, so it was a 4 on 4 to start.

So he felt 4 on 4 was good but the other 3 did not.

Naw it's not hiding it just our el33t players padding thier at the expense of thier various teams.
Sniping.
I find it amazing when someone in FW says oh so and so is a great player.
And you'll almost to a man find them in the rear.
Making the ultimate sacrifice of sacrificing thier team mates.
Wonder if I could raise my stats lurming from the back?
