Working as a team is good. I think what is referred to as "blob warfare" here is too close for comfort.
This will probably fix itself once FF is turned on and people have to keep a slightly bigger distance.
Also, Tony said he used an RE to take down the blob. This is a sound tactic and is one of the big reasons why real life teams walk at distances from each other. These lessons will be learned and used by the smarter squad/team leaders.
Just give it time. |

i need a gunner on my dropship. the last one got 3 kills then we got shot down and he just was watching **** i guess instead of trying to fight his way back with me to friendly lines- idk wtf he was doing but getting shot down shouldn't paralyze a guy into just kinda standing there like he did,. it's like he just threw in the towel despite me egging him on the mic to fight back.. i was like.. dude.. seriously?
I'll look for you next time we are both on at the same time - I'll fly with you. I love the new DS experience. I have only been on one so far, but it was absolutely awesome! The rumbling on the controls, it just felt really cool. It should be hard to hit stuff too - we're flying around in a close combat situation. If you don't keep moving, you're dead. Pretty much the way it is when people start shooting stingers at choppers I imagine. I think it is things like that which make this game really a step up from other FPS's (among the many other EVEishness too). Don't get me wrong - I think the DS need some tweaks, but I imagine eventually Gunships will come into play and that will be amazing (I hope).  |

Blob warfare is good. It can become more coordinated later. Spawn system could do with work in ambush though. 50/50 spawn in no mans land / spawn in the middle of the enemy blob. Just me?
Don't be a straggler. Exact same issue. I've spawned at the very beginning of a match, straight from War Barge, right smack dab in the middle of 4-5 enemy clones. At least give a guy a fighting chance. Sucks being spawned out in the boonies, but it's better than in the middle of a hostile crowd.
Drop uplink. Equip free one to your dropsuit. Pick your own spawn points. |

I like being one of the few who breaks the mold, splitting off from the blob I'm with, flanking enemies, and causing havoc by shooting EVERYONE in the back to make them panic and turn around - makes them easier targets for my teammates, and that means lots of assists for me (easily more than enough to get more WPs than I would from trying to kill people for myself).
Combine that with being a competent Shotgun-wielding sniper hunter, and there's plenty of lols to be had. |

@Crazy
do you know how uplinks work in Ambush? Uplinks in ambush = lose. I've camped uplinks before. It's easy points. Rather have 1 bad spawn and get instagib than 20. They're a liability compared to hives (infinate grenades break blobs).
You need a minimum of 2 uplinks. |

You need a minimum of 2 uplinks.
If you place them well, and have someone DEFENDING them, they're good.
If you have multiple Uplinks, they're GREAT.
If the other team pick them out, you notice fast, stop using them, and deploy new ones elsewhere. |

I like the way ppl blob up in ambushes, I just wish they wouldn't keep following me, I find i have to turn around and run the other way so I don't have a conga line of nublets stealing my kills, fighting the blob is a nice challenge good for improving your grenade throwing skills and ability to use cover. |
