Dedalos, when you find a shrink, let me know, I could use the same one.  :D

Killing guys that run away because they don't want to die because they want to keep a high kill/death ratio is very gratifing.

People that just want to cherry pick and HO is fine by me.  Just don't do it to me.  I don't want to play with you, so go away.

I play to fight, whether I have the advantage or disadvantage, it's all the same to me.

I play to play. After a couple map victorys it loses its appeal. I do like the odd night everyone seems to be on the same page and "rolls son!".  But normally Im not interested in the frantic GOGOGO that it takes to capture in here.

       I much prefer getting a few guys in a mission and carrying it out to a successful rtb with some kills. Other than that simply going out to find someone to fight is good enuff for me.

I generally fly for the reasons Lazs stated. To me that is fun and challenging. However, I could easily get more into winning the war if it involved a real challenge.

I played JR High and high school football and tremendously enjoyed the competition and winnning the game. You had even sides, and you won or lost based on solid teamwork, individual skills and leadership both on the field and from the coaches. In high school we were typically 500 for the season. But, each of those wins meant something, and even the losses were O.K. as long as you put up a good fight.  

In here, "winning" seems to be mostly about grossly uneven numbers and a minimal amount of organizational skill to make sure bubba brought the goon. I get no sense of accomplishment in this style of game play. It would be like winning every game in a football season, but doing so with an extra 5 players on the field every game. Who cares.

[edit: there are certainly exceptions to the rule, but IMO 75 percent of the "war winning" centers on this gameplay format today.]

To get back to the orig. question. I would have been one of the handful of defenders at the base under attack, thinking from the initial bar dar that a real brawl was brewing, only to watch most of the friendly teammates fly away from the fight :)

Runaway! Runaway!
