Why do I play FW?

It's more fun! Simple as that, better teamplay, better coordination, teammates you can actually trust to help you and to have your back. (Big thing if you're driving an Annihilator in a Siege Defense.That mech makes you slightly paranoid! )

Teammates that most of the time actually come and push with you, and not just come up with you until they are first shot at and then retreat. If you commit to a push in an assault you are commited, yeah you take the damage but that is so the team can win.

Nothing is more annoying to see a team that just wastes that sacrifice, by just bugging out as soon as the first shot comes their direction.

Oh yeah and people that are actually smart enough to use comms and coordinate with each other. Ok due to me almost exclusively playing FW, I'm still stuck in Tier 4, but it's annoying to see how little people talk with each other in QP.

Well, until they are dead that is, then they are happily bitching about how their team sucks, and how they knew it was a trap.
Yeah why didn't they open their mouth and talk about their knowledge before? Or type?

Sounds like the problem you have with CW is that you dont have a group to play with... God knows how many times the HUB TS server info's have been posted in these forums... PUGS continue to blame CW for the fact they get beaten by organised opposition while doing nothing to organise themselves....You can lead a horse to water but sometimes you just need to shoot it in the head with SRM's.....

I've never blamed the mode itself(not that I pug anymore except when I'm playing at work). I hold PGI responsible for failing to provide in game tools to find groups(LFG is barely more than a tool for people to group who are friends of friends but are not on your friends list), and for failing to provide speed bumps to slow new players down from rushing into CW blindly.

The forums are fine, but for those who never get on the website, that isn't a tool at their disposal. We need in game solutions for finding people to play with, Clan/Faction chat is a good start, but we should also have tabs for LFG chat, I can't tell you how many times I've had IS players join up when I've got a faction group going only to realize they have to leave it would be great to be able to talk to everyone in LFG; and a LFU/R(looking for unit/recruits) chat would be fantastic too, then we could much more easily find people who would happily join a unit but don't know where to begin. Those would be two simple additions that would go a long way to improving player experience.
