'WOOHOO WE WIN THE WAR'.........they should be allowed to have that fun.

I'm definitely a horder by most people's opinion but winning the war sucks unless it's a terrible map.  Just hearing all the loud and incessant jibberjabber and mumbo-jumbo that follows the war being won and takes several minutes play out through my headset is definitely not worth 75 perk points.

ps.

Coombzy, you made me thinking.
Look, i still belive that the main point in this game is to interact with other players. I have always tryed to get and give that. Skill level does not count: if one needs a spit to outturn me, then grab a spit and fight me, i wont run, if they need a 70v15, well, let it be, i will be there.

Ergo, ok, win the war, have fun with it, but let us poor soul dogfighters have a chance to interact with them. Please. Thank you!

The main point in the game is to make a living for Hitech and associates.  As such, they control the gameplay as they see fit.  If anyone doesn't like how the game is being played they should direct their attention to Hitech.  To belittle others because they aren't playing the game as you think they should, while it may make you feel good and self-righteous, is a waste of time (other than making you feel good and self-righteous).  Folks play the game to have fun, not so you can have fun.

If you don't like the gameplay, show Hitech how your idea of how the game should be played is better than his and how it will attract more paying customers.

Trukk,

Not taking your comment personally, but that is why when I try to think of suggestions for improvements I do my best to consider those players that like doing things as they are now.  I don't want to close off gameplay options, but rather add new ones in addition to keeping the existing options.

@Karnak:  From what I've seen your posts are positive in nature, but there's a lot of "play the game my way posts" or "if you're not playing it my way, you're a lemming, not a true pilot, etc".

1.) Foresight
     Learn everything you can and use the information that you have to comfortably predict where you can most likely expect an attack to take place.

2.) Patience
     When you have put yourself in place to defend the attack you have deduced is coming, have the patience to be there, not chasing something else you see somewhere else.

3.) Satisfaction
     Know that you can't kill them all, all the time.  Get your victories, get home.

this is the main reason why 60 players are needed by the bishops.  film is about 6 min long but you get the point.   they had about 30 players all concentrating on dropping bombs and augering.  about 4 or 5 of us actually were able to take off and defend the field.  they never took it.  as I got shot down  the cv got sunk.

So true, semp and his comrades tried to stop the horde so they had a chance to stop the horde and they stopped the horde.  The horde can only be stopped if you try.

see the thing is that I don't defend anymore.   We used to bust most of your mission but guess what, it got old a long time ago.   then you went from 30 players to 60 and I for one said the hell with let them take all the undefended bases they want.   sooner or later most of your players will realize that it isn't so much fun killing 1 or 2 buildings per mission.

Why do you guys think most of your good players are gone and the players that used to be really good now suck in 1v1.

  The teamwork isnt the problem. We need more of it.

  The OBJECTIVE is the problem. The targets should be leveling strats that do something even if its a tally of ord dropped on an enemy's strats at the end of a campaign.

   Base capture is the only game in town unfortunately, and the gander will flock to whatever is available.

I would tend to agree with this, it's not that you and 59 of your buddies online at the same time want to go collectively flog the snot out of soemthing, it's that you want to do it to an undefended field or one that only 2-5 enemy players are interested in defending it in the 5-minutes before being overwhelmed, shut down or having the field captured.
