One night I started a new match, and I wasn't late to the party. As I landed on the ground below my MCC I was immediately torn to shreds by a tank. At no point during the match was any of my teammates able to leave our deployment area. The opposing team somehow managed to field tanks before we even got out of the MCC at the beginning of the match. It was a small domination map. By the end of the match, half the team was just hanging out in the MCC waiting for the match to end. I'm sure this was great fun for the tank operators, but how is this kind of game play going to encourage new players to come back. I've only been playing for about 2 months, so I'm used to being shredded. I just put on some free suits and jumped into the meat grinder over and over, but I can see where a brand new player trying the game for the first time, might say screw this and leave for good.

Quote:Organize into squads yourself then. That goes for all of you crybabies who ***** about getting dominated by people who play in squads.
If you join a public match but refuse to use the squad finder or "lfs" then getting stomped by a squad or two squads of organized players is well deserved.
There's a reason why there are so many warpoint bonuses for activities that help other members of your team (healing, repairing, using scanners, dropping uplinks etc.) it's because you're SUPPOSED to play AS A TEAM and not run solo.
So stop bitching about getting owned by players who play the way the game is meant to be played because they aren't doing anything wrong, YOU ARE!
I agree, the game is meant to be played in squads, working together to accomplish a goal. Win or lose, it's much more enjoyable when playing with competent people. But, don't you think your comments above are a bit harsh. We're talking about new players, unfamiliar with all the workings of the game. They're trying. They want to play. It's hard enough for them to learn the game, while getting crushed every few seconds. And if veteran players are going to treat them with such disdain, where's the incentive to stay and play. New players are the life blood of this game. Without new players, this game dies and the only thing you'll be left to play with is yourself. Instead of treating the new players so poorly, how about taking them under your wing and showing them the ropes. Maybe, just maybe, this will help improve the game play for all of us.
Now back to the point of this thread ... imbalances in matchmaking.
