I was just thinkin last night after me and 12 squaddies decended on a base like armegeddon and wiped out everything in under 1 min just to have someone with oppertunistic tendencies just run in with a goon and take the capture, that wouldnt it be nice if in addition to kills the SYSTEM also anounced who got the field captures as well?. Now dont get me wrong I am glad the guy took it and kudos to him for being in the right place at the right time but I was like "the goon is coming" and he just came right in anyway. All that work to not get the capture for our squad just seems a little depressing. I could be just whining and my squad is nowhere near number 1 and probably wont be for a long time if ever but I think if you did all the work they should at least give your goon a chance to get there if you have cap.
let me know what ya think and if I sound like a cryer *lol my bad

with better planing your troops would have been there on time.

Egos lol of all the things to worry about.
If the point of your effort was to capture the base, it was captured. If the point is to get your name up in lights, then you gotta be quicker than the other guy.
You want the coders to actually waste their time updating the system to announce who captured the base. Ya, you know, that's a valid point, I mean, who wants the B25 finished, or anything else relevant to get done. You do, of course, understand that the guy that "stole" that base capture would have gotten the kudos, don't you? Are you suggesting that if, I, for example, saw a base being hammered, and knowing that most of the time the goon doesn't make it, I should Not take one out there and make sure the capture happens? Perhaps someone should be in charge so that I ask the right person for permission?
What on earth possesses some of you guys to cause you to think these things out to the worst conclusions?

Careful what you ask for.

When we do base captures, all that matters is that we take the base.
I dont care if someone beats me to it. I say WTG, auger, and get ready for the next base to take.
Its just 10 perks though

You sound like a cryer. You want to announce the work you did over Country Channel or even Channel 200, feel free.
And your wish to "wouldn't it be nice if in addition to kills the SYSTEM also announced who got the field captures as well?" would only have resulted in the Name in Lights going to the Goon driver that "stole" the capture out from under you in that instance anyways.
A waste of coding time.

Yep, field captured, mission accomplished. If you were really that concerned about it, I'm pretty sure friendly fire does kill the troopers (or it used to). 'Course, that might make the other gooner a little grumpy.

FF dont kill troops. I tried that one already :D

oh lord.

WHO CARES??!:O the base was taken. period. that's ALL that matters. our squad REGULARLY asks anyone that might be in the vicinity to bring troops if it'd be faster than one of us getting them. most times, we plan ahead, and have troops somewhere within striking distance, so that once we de-ack, and cover the hangar, we call him in....he's there and troops runnin in les than 30 seconds.
BTW....I was just thinkin last night after me and 12 squaddies decended on a base like armegeddon and wiped out everything in under 1 min ........so you took down all the hangars in less than a minute/? they have a new rapid-fire tiger or panzer we've never heard of yet?

I got alot of base captures last month,probabaly the first time in this game I actually spent time running goons and m3's..It was fun,and some times I would be the only one,and sometimes I would be one of many..BUt the point is it got captured..I do not get upset if someone "beats me to it",as it seems to be like a race,and in the scheme of taking bases,it is a win,win situation.I am pleased that you see it like that as well.
Their is another group out there that deserve much,MUCH more credit than I could ever get running troops,and those people are the SUPPLY RUNNERS.
I talked to my squad and told them that we/bish should be a bit mroe on the ball at getting ords and such up,and to back it up,when I got online one day,I spent almost 3 hours keeping 3 or so bases supplied that kept getting ord and radar downed..Talk about monotonous..:eek: I was very suprised at what it took to supply some bases which do not have m3 spawns and such..And while I am still trying to keep that state of mind,I find myself often thinking,"someone else will get them"..But I also do a big whenever I see someone has supplied a base.
If anyone needs to be recognized it is the people re-supplying..That is just about the most underrated and unrecognized action in this game.
:aok :aok :aok :aok to all of you who ressuply,

Greetings,
Ya know, this thread got me to thinking. Name in lights. Kinda cool, like landing those 28 kills in a Jug..... I am thinking other goon drivers or evil M3 drivers could be there...... So, how about, we have individual riflemen run to the map room. Then the 'guy' who gets there first gets his/her name in lights?
:noid
Regards.
