OK Falcon, look at it from the other side. You log on on a Saturday and the only fight going is this horde rolling base after base. Your out numbered 3 or 4 to 1 The other side see's a possible reset in the works so they just hammer your team relentlessly. While it may be "fun" for them they are certainly ruining yours correct?
Sure you could start a fight on the other side of the map, or maybe try to run an NOE behind the horde, maybe even a porking mission, boring as all h@ll, but it might slow them down. But you know, its only a matter of time before they reset the map.
This is where you can entertain the opposition. There is no need to roll base after base, if you succeed in taking enough we get a new map and it starts all over, if you don't the midnight crawlers will milk them back during the night. So make the missions more fun. Instead of having it be all about the map reset, make be all about the battle for the map reset. I know it doesn't sound all that different, but it is. By making it more fun for the enemy as well as your team it will be more abut the battle.
Lumping everyone in with those loud mouths is the same as saying every big squad is a horde, it just isn't always true. Yes some are a horde because thats the only way they know how to operate, but others spread themselves out to support a fight instead of trying to dominate the fight. The same goes for some of the best sticks in this game. You'll rarely see them complain, but if the night is run by the horde, you won't see them fly either.
First a reply to NB..You asked ME/I a question and I answered it with how I feel..I cannot speak for anyone else but me...
I dont see how I can be focused on the RED guy and make sure he is "ENTERTAINED" by me..the only way I entertain them is if they shoot me down..That is the point of the game,among others isnt it?? I am not trying to be obstinate,but in the game,it is kill or be killed..It is defend a base,or have it taken from you,this is on all 3 countrys..
Fugitive:
I have been on that end,no it is not the greatest time to be on the recieving end,but one does what one can to stop the missions..And if it cant be done,I just log into another arena if the numbers are way out of kilter,I dont get offended by it..I realize that maps are going to get reset,I used to want to reset them as fast as possible,but not anymore..Although I still want to take bases.Sometimes momentum gets going and one gets "BLOODLUST" in their eyes and the missions roll..
Yes fugitive porking missions and resupplying are BORING,but in the game,being as rounded as it is,is a way to slow down the other side..I used to hate porking,now it is one of the main things we do in my squad,without feeling it is BORING...
I see what you are saying about the battle and the map reset..But it is very hard to watch bases get taken by another team,and not go about to try and get some of them back,as well as some of theirs..
But the battles get OLD for me..I can last maybe 2 hours,sometimes a bit longer in a FB,and honestly,I am done with it..I am not the greatest fighter,but I do ok,and I dont know,it just gets old..
Anyway it is late,and FUGITIVE,I appreciate this post you made,it seems to come from a different place,maybe because I can relate to getting rolled by the other side,but I know it is part of the game,and it happens,and I usually just go to another arena..
