The tears of uplink spammers.

Have you considered the fact that spewing uplinks everywhere is a waste of time? Uplinks get destroyed. You are much better off deploying a couple and then redeploying more later. Relocate them depending on how the battle progresses.

If you want to change to a heavy, go for it. Your uplinks would have been destroyed soon anyway.

What is the problem with people having to actually use their logi suits? Surely this is a good thing, and there's more to logi's than deployable equipment anyway.

And even then, most suits have the bandwidth to support uplinks. You don't need more than a few uplinks at a time anyway.

And what about the rest of your team? It is meant to be a team game. If the rest of your team can't be bothered to put an uplink or two down somewhere then it's your team's fault.

Having to put few uplinks in carefully selected places, instead of spamming them everywhere makes movement across the map more important. This helps the problem of heavy spam as it encourages tactics other than just spawning as many heavies as possible right on the point. People will have to actually (shock) move across the battlefield.

Man, all these people crying about their uplinks being popped, its almost as if a good logi should be keeping track of their forward uplinks and defending them. Maybe even carrying a set to drop if someone gets at it anyway.

One of the most important things to create for a team of blueberries is stability, try placing your uplinks in a spot that your blueberries will naturally turn into a fortress once they spawn, this provides some long term stability which in turn makes it much easier to defend your uplinks, since the only thing that will get by your team are chewed up enemies or scouts, which you really should be able to kill or drive off. Yes, even in a logi suit.

Sometimes this isnt possible, and things get a little bloodier, but your job isnt just to crap uplinks and walk away as a logi. You need to take care of your equipment, rep, inject, scan, etc. The objective isnt to just provide spawns and get points, its to enhance your team overall and make them more effective whether they are holding a position or pushing into one. Thats why the tourist equipment spammers are such losers that get zero respect from people who are actually playing logis are getting no sympathy, because they dont understand how to actually play a logi once they are done crapping equipment all over everyone's tacnet.

Uplinks need defense. If not, they become killing grounds. The god thing with BW, is that you now can kill your uplinks, if they get camped.

Mayby they should invent uplinks, that provide a short shield and armor boost. For dropping in the front line. ;-)
