It affects the way you play the game, and might help to make people realise that more often than not, they're actually getting stomped by another pug.

or it would prove that 4 and synched 8 mans are running this game, and any independant will have to accept that they will get rofl stomped daily.

It really shouldn't change how you play. You should always play like the other team is a team, that's how you win.

i mostly pug and it is obvious when there is a coordinated team with coms. they move differently and respond more quickly.

effective groups that use in depth teamwork appear to be fairly rare. otherwise i would not be catching so many enemies by surprise.

one team just needs to be slightly more coordinated or lucky than the other. then one mech goes down, and then a second. with 2 mechs down you have theoretically lost a quarter of your fire power. this game is very prone to the steam roller effect.

i die violently on a regular basis, but if i take down 2 or 3 enemy mechs before i go, especially early in the match, it all but guarantees a win.

If knowing that half of the opposing team is on comms while none of yours is does not change the way you approach the match, you're doing it wrong.

This game is about tactical role warefare...often the individual will get stomped and rightly so. Run with a group.

The Cheese does not stand alone.

I would like this to be added as well. Would like to know what I'm facing one way or another.

[Glythe]

I have to agree teams should be shown on the scoreboard.... just like World of Tanks.

[R0adK1ll]

Well if this gets added it would also be nice to be able to hit TAB to know who wacked you in the game. I don't know about the rest of you but I have a hard time figuring out who killed me when I've been in the middle of a brawl.

While I think that giving more information is generally better, in this case, what will happen with the new economy is that pugs will see other side has premades and hit quit match and go play somewhere else that is more fun.

So you have to trick people into playing ?
I disagree, more information is better. If a problem arises because of what is revealed, then they should fix the root of that problem.

My point was that you should ALWAYS play like the whole other team is on comms.

If your not, your doing it wrong.

I'm not opposed to the groups being shown on the 'end of match' scoreboard. Not during the match, though
