Now to answer those two earlier posts by SP and CTF that I skipped over in the previous page:
Somali Pirate wrote:I think this can be curbed a bit by not deploying in the 50vs50 hotspots, and taking small bases at a time, where there are only a handful enemies we can more easily overpower, at least until they call in their huge zerg backup hehe.
First off, there is no such thing in PS2 as "50v50 hotspots". You are giving a false impression of the game to people. You can attack and capture an empty base, and you can find yourself in 20v100 situations, and everywhere in-between. The game is nowhere near as balanced and orderly as you make it appear to be.
Second off, what you propose is exactly what I've been doing from our very first moments in the game. We even made a video of it and I'll upload it to YT at some point. Mere minutes after we started the game I took the team out of a heavy firefight and went off to capture an empty base, and we've been operating on this principle of least resistance ever since. The fact that you never realized this while playing with us for so many hours is yet another sign of how disconnected you were from the rest of the team. (I.e. of the fact that you were
never really part of it.)
As for the rest of your suggestions regarding tactics, they are too facile to be worthy of being labeled as such. "If you see air, jump into some anti-air" is not tactics: it is a common sense reaction (and a
knee-jerk reaction at that) that breaks down when we are talking about any more complex scenario than a 4v4 fight. If we are talking about 100v100 base assault with dozens of air and ground vehicles thrown into the mix and multiple other bases being attacked and/or defended all around you at the same time, facile knee-jerk reactions like yours will get you nowhere. You need a
thinking person there.
CTF wrote:I also think that art is about having fun but can we also agree that winning is fun?
No we can't. Winning may SEEM fun to HABITUAL LOSERS. But to winners there's nothing more boring than winning. Too much winning is even a reason to quit the game altogether. So for me the opposite to what you say is true: Losing is fun, winning is boring. That's why I always stack the odds against me in whatever game I happen to be playing.
CTF wrote:If so, then why are you against friendly training (assuming of course the training is also fun).
I already told you that training is boring. Are you even reading what I am saying? And in any case, you can hardly be bothered to play with us when we are properly playing, and you are trying to make us do
practice drills in the fucking game? lol dude. Don't you have anything better to be doing than posting this bullshit in my forum?
CTF wrote:Bottoms line is: It is not only better to play the game with friends versus strangers but also it is better to improve in the game in the same manner than with friends versus friends.
Am I on the right track here? Do I understand you correctly?
You do not appear to have understood a single word I said. And I don't think that repeating myself will help you any. The words are there. Reread them, if you want, but I don't know how to explain myself any better than I already have.
CTF wrote:I guess this game also just gets better and better with time and your investment in it but unfortunately for now I have only 2-3 hours during the weekdays to play, I'll do my best though. I can totally see how better the game gets with each player in the squad and I hope that our group will grow. Being part of something huge and organized like that Spanish clan from yesterday seems like an AMAZING experience.
You cannot be part of something huge and organized like that without having to do anything yourself. The only reason our team is growing is because we are PLAYING. If we stopped playing, the team would stop growing. Indeed it wouldn't even exist. Not sure if you are catching my meaning here. Amazing things do not fall out of the sky. People put in the effort to make them happen.
And not to mince words, because it's not my style, I think that you and that berserkez dude (who also happens to be in the IDF, by the way) are lame. You dudes prefer to play Final Fantasy or "Deadly Premonition" than the best co-op FPS ever. What is even the point of this discussion? No one here is
obligated to play games with us. Just tell us you don't like the game and be done with it. Or that you don't like it enough to play for more than 2-3 hours a week. There's no problem with that: even if someone can only jump in for one hour a week, that's still an extra gun for us for that one hour -- it's still welcome. But don't fucking give me bullshit about not having enough time when you are online playing other games all the time. In fact stop posting in this thread altogether. We don't need your stupid suggestions to start training in PS2 as if we are in a real army. You are just wasting our time at this point, and clogging up the thread with nonsense. Instead, try posting about the things you like, if you feel like posting something. Post about Final Fantasy, or Donkey Kong, or whatever the hell it is you play.
