What Wickens said.

I was part of the infantry unit in South Village, and can only praise the guys in it. And was too busy trying to keep the HAT alive by running out in the open to grab it, as we all were, when yet again the carrier was destroyed by tank fire; firing at infantry moving in; trying to fire at tanks, APCs and even the Havok; to notice the bickering at base - until the game was paused.

Though we could see that most of the team was at base and knew what that meant. That it meant yet another round of bickering for a tank or helicopter whilst the rest of us pay with our enjoyment.

Lo and behold, I believe only two (maybe 3) other squads were actually active. One sniper team and another unit trying to accomplish North Village.

Of course we crumpled to the numerous tanks eventually in South Village, though twenty minutes (so it seems) and more was just us vs basically the majority of their team and heavy assets, was something to be proud of. Eventually we were surrounded whilst most of our team, were still at base.

What was not to be proud of though, was that we had no support other than I believe, the Commander. No-one, came to help strengthen our resolve to hold and so enable the team cap flags and put us in a winning position. We had HATS to defend ourselves, and I legged it when we were overwhelmed with one eventually as a tank had come on our backs and infantry were on us. I tried to kill the tank, but an engineer killed me as I of course had been seen doing a runner, so imagine now, we have also lost a HAT and the dismay inside of what has incured for the team, and the game.

None of my squadmates complained of the high death rate we recieved, nor of our squads' actions. But we were disbelieving that the map had turned into this quite frankly childish fight of 'who has what, and I know what and you don't' mentality. It disheartened us. And that carried over for the rest of the map.

I don't blame the admins not letting the tank/helicopter version happen. I have only flew a plane once (in a unpopulated server), never been in the helicopter, and always leave the tanks alone on this map. Because I can't be bothered with the antagonism and know infantry is what counts (and is more fun). This, was unprecidented though in the new low. And a low that will stop because the admins wont allow it and have been patient enough; children, it seems, need to have a reprocussion before they learn anything, and I believe waiting for the maturity to click in has finally run out from players and admins.

Yes, it isn't fun being minced by the tanks outside the Bunkers or North Village, and of course they have apcs, and the AA's crushing you too, because others wanted to go off and do their thing, have their own fun, and have ruined a great game, while you try to stop infantry capping and try to gain a foothold or a win for the team.

Time and again this has happened to the point we are used to it. Though we shouldn't be, and I thank Disposable for pausing the game, and making it loud and clear, grow up, now it stops.

Wickens is right, when he talks about seeing that heli come in or the cavalry arrive in the knick of time. It's a good feeling. Because of people's selfishness though, for wanting an asset or knowledge of rules, or locking mini squads fragmenting the team in which many times I see no infantry squads at all, or perhaprs one before making my own, which is incredible! They are creating a horrid, thoughtless for others or even the game itself, disheartened and sad feeling in players, who leave as the enjoyment is not there. That is not nice and should be addressed.
