Ok, I get it. Solo drops in FP = Recipe for Disaster. Best served piping hot as coherent light straight to the face.
Oddly, I feel better now. Thanks all!
There are a few extremely strong players who can combine carrying hard with successfully taking charge, and they do win when solo dropping. There are more who are simply good enough to pump out amazing enough personal scores to feel satisfied despite losing most matches, and then there are a lot who are strong enough to carry teams to wins in small groups of 2-4.
So there are two ways to win, either you are organized or you are very very good. The worse of a player you are the more organized and in the bigger group you should be, the better you get the smaller groups and less organized you can get and finally when extremely good you can graduate to successfully solo dropping.
In other words solo dropping is the final and hardest challenge you should put yourself through, most new FP players tend to do this in the opposite order for some reason, and THAT is indeed a recipe for failure.
I mean I get it and I feel for you. You're new, you don't have the contacts or the unit yet, population is low so it's not easy to build up either. It's rough as hell to start out with FP.
Once you get into a unit you like and get to play matches against other units with both teams coordinating however, that is the most fun MWO has to offer. Like, it's super fun, for realzies.
