"No! Don't get the flag!" But, that's the objective, "NOOOOO!"

[Davey Woo]

I hate people that go into random gametypes just looking for kills/not doing the objective.
Call of Duty was the worst because of the nuke thing, but it's always annoying regardless of the game.

I find this happening somewhat in BC2, though without the shouting. (Only being able to communicate with your squad is a good idea.) Bomb is planted, sniper is capable of getting there defuse it without the use of legs, but they don't. Because they get far more XP for sitting exactly where they are and sniping. And since 99% of people play as snipers when defending, it means sometimes not one person will lift a finger to stop the bomb. Not a problem to defuse if you go for it, generaly only one person will defend the bomb.

defenders need to have snipers. once on isla innocentes, the entire team were sniper(my team defenders) every time someone came in our range i said 3....2....1 SHOOT! they all shoot multiple targets at the same time. its very fun spotting and giving tactical commands and barely having any time for a breather. when we setched to attacker we were assault medics and engineers. the enemy treid to copy us but failed.

yup. i was playing rush on abd co.2 when some kid yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

i need 10 more kills to rank up n00b

*then i planted the bomb and won the game*

the kid yells:

N00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000B!!!!!!!!

then i see his score-1 kill 21 deaths score 50.

i wonder who the real noob was

him

that is what i was getting at ignore if you already know that

And that's why I play Team Fortress 2 where i can honestly say I've never had any such problem. If I complete an objective the only thing I'm likely to get is a congratualtions.

The problem with BFBC2 is that it is more rewarding to get kill streaks by just camping with a sniper, then actually going to blow up the objectives in rush or capturing the bases in CTF. You only get something like a 200 point bonus for winning a match which is easily outmatched by the points that can be racked up through kill streaks.

To those who play MW2 online, find a group of friends to play with, the game goes a lot smoother.

Indeed.

Me and my 3 buddies played Domination last night.

We all went negative K in every game but won 18 out of 19 games because the other teams were full of douchebags who seemed to think the flags would give them an STD.

 

[GBlair88]

Don't ever play Killzone 2. The developers came up with a pretty clever way of having objectives that change as the game goes on, but everyone just thinks in their head 'TEAM DEATHMATCH!!!' no matter what the objective is.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

That goddamn nuke should NOT be allowed in objective based games.

Or, you know, AT ALL!

Because it is a stupid addition to the game.

Yes. Yes it is. I cannot find one single justification for its existence actually. It's a retarded gimmick.

And this is why achievements and ranks are a bad idea.

OT: You get a lot of crap like that in WoW with people trying to do achievements (ie doing a boss event incorrectly for the sake of arbitrary points) when all you want to do is kill the guy, loot and move on.

Yeah, but you do get better loot for that in WoW, with the exception of Naxx. Given the point of raiding in WoW is to kill bosses and get loot, making it so you get better loot isn't exactly a bad thing to do.

MW2 on the other hand, you can do your get 1000 headshots or whatever anytime, wheras on WoW you can only do it specifically on that boss.

 

[oppp7]

I've been trying for some achievement or whatever when the game ended, but I didn't yell at my team for it.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

my god, after reading all these i want to go get a copy of MW2 and do this just to see people rage.

People don't generally rage after a nuke in MW2.

They just kind of sigh with dissapointment.

no i mean be the one pissing off all the people trying to get nukes and be general retards.

If you decide to do that then add me on Live, haha.

Fucking agreed.

Yes, this has happened to me more times than I can fucking count. It's ridiculous and retarded and I always (xbox 360) give those mother fuckers a bad review because they clearly don't understand the rules of the damned game so they shouldn't even be playing it. Fuck, if they want damn kill streaks maybe they should play a damned deathmatch not a fucking objective game.

God I hate players like that, I want to leap through my mic and punch them in their fucking faces.

Yeah, pretty much goes with everything. Even Team Fortress 2 on the 360, which is completely and utterly objective based, people just go in there to get kills. Objectives on console shooters is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Legion]

Tf2 ftw.

Seriously that game is awesome and stuff like that happening is rare in it.

You are joking right? I single handedly have to capture the intel in almost every game of 2Fort I play because everyone would rather play Engineer or Sniper to rack up easy kills rather than go for the objective.

I even had 3 snipers ignore the intel which I had gotten to the entrance of our base (in other words, 10 feet below their exact position) so they could snipe the enemy snipers.

A little more aggressive than I would have put it, but yes. Basically.

 

[the idiot computer]

Not really a surprise, every objective-based game will somehow be turned in a TDM.

TF2 has some rare servers where nobody bothers with the objective. Call of Duty(all games) is rare to have a proper gametype. CSS has hundreds of (team)deathmatch mod servers.

I think it's the announcer in TF2 that somehow manages to get players to work together and try to win the objective.

YOU FAILED PREPARE FOR SUDDEN DEATH!

OTon't really see alot of them but they boil my blood.

 

[hardband]

It's nice to know my 10 year old step brother and his friends fit into this catorgory... actually also my 13 year old step brother!

I remember when they shouted at me for defusing the bomb on search Even though the internet was going to turn off in 5 seconds. Apparently i was being unfair on his friends who were also playing. They can wait 30 seconds for a new match can't they?

 

[Shaegor]

I like it in TF2 when nobody tries to capture the flag, and 2Fort becomes a team deathmatch.

I always sneak in as a scout at those times and win the match with 3 caps ^^.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I don't get stuff like that, but sometimes on TF2 everyone's having such a lot of fun just killing each other or even having taunt battles or whatnot that we decide to "forget" about capping points or intel.

Sometimes someone tries to instigate such a period of goodwill and mutual disintrest in the objective, but everyone else wants to play the game. He'll start trying to taunt or spycrab, and rages/whines when we kill him. These people don't realise the "mutual" part in the mutual ceasefire.

I don't mind hard-modes in raids that require different tactics - because you're more likely to have the agreement of the entire raid and, as you say, you get better loot for it. Getting "undying" achievements is also fine as this requires nothing other than an ability to stay awake/avoid fire.

What I do mind is the shitty ones that involve just doing the fight incorrectly, or doing something unecessary in the fight with the only reward being a badge saying that you did it.

This is often compounded by the fact that, in my experience, the people concerned with just gathering meaningless, rewardless achievements are shit at playing the game properly and frequently lead to my unecessary death.
