Guys ... I'm tellin' ya ... we
need more players like DoK and jamusta. We need MORE players in the CT ... period!
And the overall feedback I got from the 68th (they requested VF-17 tag along with them as top cover for a run or two) was positive. A couple members seemed to have gotten a little frustrated and left for the MA but I think they just wasn't used to the fact that most of the "regular" CT folk know the map well and can anticipate where threats will appear.
One of the challenges of the CT (especially the slot map) is it's relatively small scale in comparison to some of the huge MA maps. And we've played them enough to have beaten down paths between the same 4-5 bases on most of `em.
As far as not playing nice is concerned. We reap what we sow. It's as true here in Ace's High as it is in real life. Of course, nice is relative. As long as I have options, I generally don't care. But I'll continue to be a side balancer and I'll continue to prefer air engagements over land-grabbing. That's me.
You guys do and say what you feel ya gotta. If you're actually having fun doing some of the things you do online ... who am I to say otherwise?
Personally, I feel that there's room for more players of any mindset. Hell, if the CT got an influx of non-land-grabbing, side-balancing, polite and professional on channel one types ... then perhaps the two groups could just ignore each other and have fun.
