Just thought i would like to know, what grinds you gears (menas annoys you, GYG is from family guy if you didnt know) in multiplayer? What do people do?
In stratgey, people who Toy with you. Should they have an advantage, they either destroy some of your base, and leave, or "let" you have a pool or something.
In MPI, commanders who dont listen to their thugs. (atleast, either taking advice, or giving them supplies)
Team killing really does my head in un;ess it's accidental and an apology is made.
Then I tell my thugs to only be in these 3 areas, and they run off and bring 200 ambushers into my base, literally LEADING them.
People who can take down a trio of maulers in a sabre and barely take any damage at all :lol: I've never really figured that one out, Maulers and Titans are the only units I still haven't got a tactic for...

Maulers are easy. Don't get to close in front.
Agreed
I shoot from a distance to draw them on to gun towers, i dont know why i didnt think of that :lol:
I showed you how to do it, do it.
Maulers are easy to take down. just have to watch their speed, and you always think the range is shorter than it really is.
Titans just mean trouble. A good way ive found is to fly over the top of them and drop a solar flare. they cant aim to high upwards. Its pretty cool when they take you out mid-flight though :)
I do get pretty annoyed on the whole ambushers thing. if you wanna draw them, thats fine, so long as you learn the first time, AND so long as you dont run back to the GT's. Stay, circle them and MDM them. you might take damage but hell with that, you wont die, and youre commander wont be too angsty about losing the expensive rocket tower he just put up...
i say the most annoying thing is in MPI when your commander has 120 scrap all up in the green bar and you say "can i get a tank ive been walking for two hours!!!!!" and he does nothing but drive around not building ANYTHING
When people hide inside of your buildings to kill them.
Oh, Furies too. Just.... in general.
1. ADVICE...
2.Thugs. Who just keep asking for more stuff. Or just leave the all units I give them parked in my base. Or pass back to me scavengers I give them. Or decide to leave and blow up the only tank the team has.

Yeah thats annoying too.
1). People who join my mpi's and then just sit there.
2). People who leave every messenger, e-mail program, browser, and anything else that could be shut off before you play an intense hour long game, on in the background before they join. Thus bringing lagout to the game and resynchs galore. After all these years you'd think people could stop doing this.
3). People who join and the very first thing they do is jump over the enemy base to check it out, get killed, and want a new ship 20 seconds after the game has begun.
4). People who on mpi don't defend or team up with others. Basically lone wolves. You can't hold back the whole Scion army by yourself! Come on! Team up with someone until the commander has good defenses up and has sent you some ships to break off and form a strategy with.
i was in a strat, went to see what enemy base was like and i see 1 of them sitting still so i sniped him. :evil:
the player gets all mad and tells me that i dont know how to fight and im a noob etc... :roll:
next thing he gets killed and quits...so far nothing special...
after a minute some other player comes in; who pissed blabla (some german nick) off?!
ehrm...its his daddy! :-o
that would be me, he was behaving like a asshole...
i get a whole lecture from daddy about how to behave in a game, i should behave better versus new players and finaly after me telling him twice that i just sniped him and it was his kid that was bitching at me.....tells me i am 1 of those psycho kids who terrorises others online.....now that grinded my gear! (although i was laughing about it at the same time :-D)

Shoulda sniped him too :P
Or at least tell him to let his son fight his own damn battles, and on a game called BATTLEZONE, how are you going to survive if you can't?
It's Battlezone not Crybehindmyfatherzone.
Lol!
What's the bet that he actually did exactly that?...
:cry:
I suddenly want to meet this player ingame...
Meat, greet, beat, and eat this player... and then get yelled at for being a cyber-terrorist. :lol:
This game is getting handed down to kids all the time. Which is good in one way, we get more players. But alot of them seem to be the ones who join my mpi's, then do the things I listed above. Then I have to be more of a teacher than a commander and I've done it many times. I don't mind sometimes because I remember my first attempt to join a game online. I had been playing the single player missions for about four years, over and over, then I finally got internet and you guessed it, it was dial-up. I think I was getting 14.4k, lol and found out about 1.2. It took all night but I finally got it, installed it and off I went to join a game. I remember the first reaction, somone went AAAAARGH!!!! I lagged out and didn't know what happened, but had a good idea. Sometime later I got dsl and started hosting G66 mpi's and the same thing would happen to me. I remember saying noob stuff, like "I don't like the mdm because it doesn't kill some things" and asking how to group units. I remember someone asked for a pulse and I gave them the pulse-stab and they were not happy about having to wait for me to understand they wanted the sniper rifle. Ah, good times.
N00bs in general are welcome to join, no problem. The really inexperianced players often are less worse as the ones that think they do know the game, but actually do not.
As when I tell them to stay close and I will show them some tricks they usually do, give them some scavs and tell them for now to focus on keeping the extractors up, and they do. Some that do have a basic understanding however often seem to think its a good thing to rush into 2-3 incoming walkers head-on, than start bugging you if you dont have a ship ready for them when they loose the next one, and than dont understand you cant even give them a good ship as they have all scavs you build but they dont deploy them. Or even worse, rush to the AI-base to loose their ship without a fight to than never leave but try to snipe the AIs walkers and atanks for the rest of the game, even get mad if I dont enable the respawn with sniper option ..... its usually "bye bye /ban" at that time :D
Or really annoying, someone that keeps giving you unwanted advice ... basicly dictating how you should command.
Makes you want to ask them how long they've been playing... which is no doubt less than you, Red :P
/ban means less typing :P
Fair point. Especially useful when there is a titan just in front of you, you don't want to be sitting there with the chat window open :lol:
This reminds me of a mod I saw for a different game, actually... it made players invulnerable when they had the chat menu or the escape meny open, though it got spammed a hell of a lot. Even in an fps game, its a bad thing. in rts is just lets you amass resources.

"I don't like the mdm because it doesn't kill some things"
by the way what things does the mdm not kill? i could never figure that out
anyway
I think noobs are fine to have in a game. sometimes they come up with crazy ideas that some commanders wont do because they are risky but they sometimes work. but one thing i dont like is commanders who are way to guarded and wont let you have a single tank out of their masses because it might get blown up. also noobs who have no common sense. its fine to make a stupid mistake, but you gotta learn from it. i remember playing with some guy who decided he could go toe to toe in a walker with a heavy saber in a front attack. and when you play on drop zone and people decide its just a mini statue i can take it and get ambushers flying around your base and then think they can kill the statue eventually...and consequentially kill your entire base from ambushers.

Vehicles and guntowers are killed by mdm, the rest at most gets a little damage from the explosion effect.
Hmm, my philisophy, people are stupid >.>`...... Good thing im an official none person ^_^, got the papers to prove it too. Anyway heheh.

Some things don't detonate an MDM on contact (namely Jammers) and it can get a little difficult when you need that bounce.
VSMIT.

And it saves you big style against bombers.
Extractors dont detonate with MDM either. probably a good thing now that we have weapon linking.
