When you launch into a game is it more important to capture everything that is not a null cannon and then continue to ignore the null cannons and let the enemy have them, then to capture the null cannons and then worry about everything else.

I'm a little confused...

So the first scenario is that your team captures everything that isn't a null cannon, THEN continues to ignore the null cannons, then captures the null cannons, then worries about everything else?

For one thing, I'm not seeing any explanation of what point in the mission is the turning point from "continue to ignore the null cannons" to "capture the null cannons", but more importantly, you forgot to list the second scenario for comparison.

I do apologize, it was like 5 am and it was a quick rant, so it might not have made perfect sense. first scenario was more of a what just happened a couple of times in matches previous to writing this rant. and secondly I was asking which is more important, go for the main objective's or let the enemy have them. So sorry if I confused you with my silly little rant.

Sorry trying not to rant here but am finding it hard to land on a team tonight that goes for the objective. had a game earlier where there was six people on my team, 3 had called in tanks, two headed for the hills which left me running to my death a few time till I noticed that I seemed to be the only blue dot anywhere near A B C or D. After then the games continue to wander in a strange direction for an objective based game, where no one wanted anything to do with the objectives. I should be used to it, I mean every other FPS I have played where there is some objective that needs capturing and your on a team of randomer's most of them just run off and do something complete opposite to what one would think to be a sound tactic. I am constantly baffled by this, I mean surely there are more points to be made by working with your teams mates to give the enemy some surprise sex!? ( and by that I mean hammer the shite outta them till they feel like they have been raped )

Quick question - 1 paragraph at most. :P Second: I know this is said a lot, but in a BETA I doubt you'll find too many people trying there all. At this point I expect everyone to understand the mechanics of this game, and since I'm seeing a TON of black suits, it should be a safe assumption. As such I wouldn't find it amiss that several games people are completely screwing around or trying things that are not practical.

People on your team can go running off into the mountains, do nothing for an entire match, but still get some reward at the end of it. I personally think the scoring system is broken, especially with Skirmish games. IMO you should only get points for capturing Null cannons. And minimal points for killing people.

So sorry if I confused you with my silly little rant. Don't mind me, I was half-asleep myself when I replied. You wrote "then" instead of "than" and I read it how you wrote it instead of bothering to think it through coherently and realise it was a typo. I actually thought the whole thing was a single scenario because of that, instead of realising you'd written two separate ones and just typoed the break between them.
