The best way to improve the situation is to lead by example and play. I believe that walking away and hoping things get better is the surest way to make sure they don't. Without vetern team players, the new recruits will not get the training of the TG way and other vets will have even less team oriented players around.

That is just my point of view at least.

I truly understand what you mean Greasy, but I have been SL'ing more since 1.8 than I ever used to mainly because I got sick of ppl tking me or smoking me to get a hind, even if I try to give turns. I have consistently been running a MEDICATED squad almost every round that I am not flying, I try to lay down rules without sounding to much like an @$$.

Some guys just don't want to co-ordinate attacks, protect their SL or god for bid, DEFEND! I try to talk to guys who don't co-operate by VOIP or text or in-game way-points, to no avail, there are just too many of the real A-Holes that believe this is a one man pissing contest.

Let me put it this way, I have had the pleasure to learn from ppl like LuckShot, Mantis & Santa all of whom by themselves are devastating individual players One thing I notice more than anything else, look at Mantis's legendary KDR's for example, they might oft be not so legendary if not for the fact that he is probably revived more times than anything on the off chance that someone actually kills him(very circumstantial). Hence he kills more and dies outright less. ppl don't get that and runs off to go attack some other flag contradicting my direct order of not attacking. If by some grace of god he is still close a Medic runs over to revive him, then the Medic dies, then two more of my squad go over to check the hooplah.

Mantis isn't alone, so his SM's see my SM's coming a mile away. Now if they do kill those guys(off chance) I am still four guys down cos they are both Sniper , its just me and one other guy on the flag. Mantis is already flanking the direction that my first SM came from so by the time those other two mop up his SM's he is on my rear and his boys are spawning in on the flag as my SM's are roaming looking for him. All that after I told them to get back to the flag. SO now its 6 against 2 and Mantis's squad grabs the flag and makes me a new A-Hole.

I don't have the time to re-check this I just got home from work.
