Supporters Tackle Posted May 11, 2019 Supporters Share Posted May 11, 2019 On 10/05/2019 at 10:07, Druid799 said: Valid points but I think once you start adding physical incentives to the game it will bring out the worst in players no matter how small it is . Example I saw happen was a simple capture the building game , and in the building was a bag of Haribo’s for the winning team that held it at the end , nothing special no free life memberships or a new gun or anything epic just a bag of sweets ! AND the cheating/non hit taking went off the scale ! 😳 They did try it again a couple of wks later but exactly the same thing happened . Mate, I'd sell my soul (not my 'sole😏), for haribo cola bottles, my favorite sweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiercel Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Im there to shoot people and have fun, if that coincides with the objective then great, otherwise Ill happily pick off other players and let someone else worry about the objective, too much running around for my liking But mostly it depends on the site and what the objectives are. Ive been to some where its just so damn convoluted that I simply gave up even trying and just turned to shooting people. I dont remember the name of the site, somewhere near Peterborough I think, old disused RAF base (not SWAS, another one, First and Only perhaps?) where the site was huge, Id never been there before, the objectives were seriously confusing and simply too much going on, they wanted us to split up into individual squads and squad A get the morter to position B whilst squad B gets some flags from point C to point F and at position F swap those for money to buy rounds at position D to take back to position B for squad A to use to support squad C who are at position X waiting for squad D to.... etc. etc. etc. and I just gave up. The site was massive, didnt know my way around. Each respawn point had a poorly laminated tatty map stapled to it in the worlds lowest .jpg resolution that I couldn't make heads nor tails of. So we just headed towards the sounds of any shooting and joined in. If you try to make it too in depth people are going to stop caring, it why simple games work best. Everyone knows what theyre doing with a good attack/defend rolling respawn or plant the bomb style game, and you still get plenty of shooting done which is basically what we've paid to do.

EDcase Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Similar thing for me. I like clear linear objectives and sneaking around to get into position before a (coordinated?) attack. Problem I've seen is the mix of of the two teams. You usually get the regulars on one side and the rentals with walk-on's on the other. I do like a challenge and don't really car who wins at the end of the day but its frustrating to be on a side where everyone goes off and does their own thing without a clue. Its not usually that bad and there are usually some regulars who know the site you can join up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted May 12, 2019 Supporters Share Posted May 12, 2019 So today we had a VIP escort game. After fragging a room full of enemy and reviving the VIP, he and I set off for his final objective point, passing half of our team on the way, with me yelling like a demented fishwife for them to... escort the VIP. Not a single one of them did so. I got him into the objective solo with 2 seconds on the game countdown, proper Hollywood style. One man army, me, but it highlighted that many folk either don't care, or can't even remember what game mode they're meant to be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I rarely play for the objective. As I rarely visit the same site twice, I don't know enough about the site to know where the objective is let alone have the skill to complete it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilianoksa Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 It isn't always realistic for older players to concentrate on the objective. I have fallen twice in my last four games.😁 I usually have to make do with giving support to those rushing forward. Not a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopRocket123 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I tend to not to play the objective but I'll pay with the objective in mind, running interference and taking the fight away from the objective to give the ones actually playing it an easier fight. If we're defending I'll be around the edges picking off smaller groups pulling agro. If we're attacking I'm on the flank taking out defenders from behind. You don't have to play the objective to play objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
