Better than nothing, I guess...

Just got done playing a few rounds on the Conquest server. My team kept losing because every single player on the team would run for whichever objective was blinking. Not a single person (except for me when I managed to stay alive) would stay back and defend the point we just took - And that didn't go very well, since it was always me vs the three guys on the other team driving quad bikes around back-capping and working TOGETHER. I used team chat (I know, who reads that?) but no one seemed to care. It was downright comical watching the mini-map show a flood of blue and green arrows toward the blinking cap point, then turning around and running back to re-cap the point they just took and lost.

THE POINT:
Pay attention! I know we don't have VOIP right now, so that's why it's up to YOU to pay attention and think for yourself. Just because an objective is blinking doesn't mean that YOU have to go and stop the cap. Hit "M" or whatever you bound your map key to. Is there a mass-flood of blue and green headed in that direction? Then maybe they'll be ok. You should try and rally some squad members to hold the point you just took and prevent a small squad from stealing YOUR tickets without even firing a shot.

I don't think I had a lot of regs on my team, so there's that. But just something I thought we should all be AWARE of.

Seriously? I thought this would warrant some kind of a response... Weird.

Patients my friend.

This is a big issue I have with conquest. It almost ALWAYS seems to devolve into a back and forth. Where team A caps point B and then Team B caps point C and they just run back and forth capping one while the other caps the other, over and over and over.

I am hoping that this will get fixed once we get working VOIP, making squads easier to manage. But until then, I'm sticking to rush.

On a side note, I can't believe I misspelled patience as patients. It seems I wanted to inform him of some patients, but what patients? Who can say.
