*(And we were GDI on defense with two tanks (one mamm, one medium) - because someone had seen fit to let our weapons factory die in the first 7 minutes.)

Maybe it's just because I'm a military man and it's my instinct to want to command. And when people do stupid f***ing things, I go ballistic. It happens in every team-based game I play - yet in Tribes 2, at least I always played with people I knew, and I was (and probably still am) the best Thundersword and Shrike pilot in the game.

So, no more public servers for me. Never again. I'm too touchy a person do deal with so many idiots in such an enclosed space. I still think the air units are gonna make things worse. Since they're so easy to wax, idiot n00bs are gonna feed them to enemy defenses and they'll win just through points.

BUT HEY, it's JUST A GAME, WHO CARES IF YOU LOSE IF YOU'RE A N00B!?!?

P.S.: I'd appreciate someone recommending me to some good clans or good passworded servers. I'm a ****ed good vehicle driver, recon, infiltrator, marksman, demolitionist, and prefer Nod.

But.. just chill

I then proceeded to write a very angry rant on a forum I visit regularly. I believe it gets the point across nicely, unfortunately those it addresses probably won't ever see it. Too bad.

I don't know about your specific experience, but sometimes picking off snipers is difficult if they doing a good job of covering each other. My biggest complaint is that a tank shell to the knee caps of a sniper will usually only do a moderate amount of damage, yet a sniper can take out mobile artilley without ever being seen. If it were me.. after 21 minutes of problems with snipers, I'd be going after them myself. Usually if a team has an abnormal amount of snipers then their base is probably not properly defended, so (if you have vehicles) a good tank rush either destroys their base or gets the snipers moving and off your back.

Personally, I just don't worry about it, but I don't tend to run into the problem as often as it sounds like you do. I simply accept the fact that people can't become experienced without playing and making mistakes. The multiplayer practice is useless for anything other than learning how to aim and drive.

include your nickname used in the game -

this will get you access to a team-player server....

Renegade is at the end of the string for me right now. Crap servers, crap team players, lag, and ridiculous bugs (harvy). All combine to = game not destined to survive long. It's too bad, this game has incredible potential (Joe Barry Carroll had potential as well ) and that is the only reason I am sticking with it (but, not as long as J.B.Carroll did in the NBA).

No orders were being heard because this "Kimball" f***er had discovered the joys of the CTRL & ALT voice commands and was flooding, add that to the fact that there were THREE, COUNT THEM, THREE GDI snipers picking off people with reckless abandon for 21 minutes because no one saw fit to try and eliminate them...and...f*** it - it's p***ing me off just thinking about it again. Kimball1962: "HEY, HEY GUYS, HOW DO I TALK. GUYS? GUYS HOW DO I TALK???" Mind you, this was in the middle of a f***ing flame rush on Hourglass*. Twice.

patches will fix those bugs, remeber, this is a new engine
the quake engine started like this to

I think by far the most annoying thing for me is people laying too many mines. I prefer to defend. I start each map by saying "I'll defend and lay mines" Low and behold I go and check my choke points just as my mines are evaporating ... ARRGGHHH !!!

I am not a slug ... I repair, lay mines, and buy tanks for people ... All I can say is to the newbies that might read this. If someone says that they are planting mines, it usually means they know what they are doing and the best place for them to go. You could be useful elsewhere.

Whew ... ok I feel better now!

So from now on ACTIVELY offer to help, escort, give critical inf. rides back to base, etc. Maybe we can save this game one person at a time....

I'm sure patches will address some bugs. All software has bugs. That is a fact of life, we cannot get away from it. Nothing is perfect. My point is this: There are alot of reasons that this game is going downhill. Crap servers, jerk-off players (every game has these, most have BAN feature to weed them out), performance issues, etc...
All can be solved. Will they? We will wait and see. I have not abandoned the game, I will not as it is still fun. If the issues go unresolved for an unreasonable amount of time, I will leave. There are plenty of other games out there. Mobile Forces, Global Ops, JKII, Ghost Recon, MOHAA, SS:SE. and on and on the list goes.
Laters.
