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

[Wolfinton]

This is even more ridiculous. I like the rank idea and whatnot, getting rewards and stuffs. However, it should never come before gameplay itself, if it does then you be teh n00b. But who cares if the other teams get points? Do you mean ranking points, or do these affect that game?

The points contributed directly to the end of the match. If neither team destoryed the other's base, then whoever had the most points at the end of the round won. It was pretty straightforward, but people twisted it to mean, "Let all of our buildings die so we can have a chance to win!" The logic behind that (or lack thereof) baffles me to this day.

EDIT:

In case you hae never seen the gameplay.

I remember a Unreal Tournament 2004 mod which was like that. It was brilliant.

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

What a completely stupid addition to the game.

Oh yeah? Well let me kill 25 people and well talk about that...wait, I kill myself too...so there really is no winner. It's a tie. Both teams are cooked and the ground is going tick tick ticky and the reinforcement need to run their ass out of there

The reason it sucks is because it encourages people to camp the shit out of the game instead of playing for the objectives. Why bother capping flags when you have one player who just kill whores, get a chopper gunner and ends the fucking game.

In case I wasn't clear enough:

FUCK the nuke. Right in its ear.

Oh yeah totally. But when would you ever really, like realistically, need a nuke in that situation?

 

[Aura Guardian]

One time on The Conduit, I was playing Capture the Flag. I was getting the flag. My team camped my flag.
Needless to say, I'm not playing anymore CTF in any game again.

All 3 people who play that game must miss you. lol

Hahahaha. Not funny. Besides. It was a full 6 on 6.

 

[ProtoChimp]

Once I was at my mate's house when that happened, we were a little drunk and eventually my friend just started team killing and I was like "Dude, why are you team killing?" and he replied "If they won't play the game properly then I sure as fuck won't!" We argued and eventually started playing castle chrashers for like 3 hours straight. Good times.

 

[nick n stuff]

it's to be expected. hardcore gamers need to get laid badly but in their mind no amount of sex can out-do a nuke on MW2...could you imagine...a nuke. a nuke would be dreamy. (please, i beg of you, not the sarcasm)

i agree totally with you, the nuke should only be allowed in deathmatch games, as objective games should be won by the team who get the most objective points, the amount of times a team has been losing in a game type like domination or something and they have got a nuke and won the game, its contradicts the aim of that game type, what a stupid idea.

Haha... never! Not. Ever. but MW2 is hardly realistic...

 

[elvor0]

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

/thread

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.

-snip-

Ahh, yeah that's fair enough, that gets on my nerves as well >< Especially given the fact that you can't do anything with the achievements at all.

 

[FangShadow]

I'm so pissed right now for this very reason.

I was playing modern warfare 2 (I really wish I had another shooter, but I'm currently broke)

Tired of Playing team deathmatch, I decided to play domination. So I play on Karachi and I'm racking up points trying to get the objective. The score is 195 to 42 and I think we got the match..

Suddenly, I here the countdown for the nuke. We lose the game through tactical nuke with just a few seconds till we would have won...

Then The same thing happens in the next Match. I'm sorry, but this is by far the most extreme bullshit that I have every had to whether in my life and the guy who put this in the game, should be castrated, and his head beaten in with a lead pipe....Now I feel better

Edit:Spelling

 

[TheEarlOfGrey]

your playing MW2, what do you expect?
This happens in about any game with achievements or the like, although I haven't noticed it in BC2 yet...

Well considering in BC2 it's either capturing points or a deathmatch. That and I've always considered the Battlefield community more mature than the Call of Duty series.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

I hate when people do that to me

playing Domination on Terminal
I was playing as the Russians so I went to capture C. I hear "No you Idiot! dont do that!" as some one runs up to me
I ask "What are you talking about?" "Let them have C!" I heard in reply. I asked him (at least I think it was a him) why and all I get is "Dont be a retard you fucking idiot" and he ran off
confused I just took C anyway
Later I got a message that said something like "your an retarded idiot why did you capture C? you must be the dumbest fuckhead on the planet!"
I still dont get why he was mad, We won the match.

Because if in Domination when one team controles A and B or B and C they can trap the other team in the other flag they spawn in.

OT:I always play with atleast 3 friends so sometimes we will usualy rush plant a bomb in Demo then take our sweet time getting the other

 

[Necromancer1991]

TF2, I was playing 2-fort and I had grabbed the intel (as a scout) and our freakin heavy heavy is like "NOOOOOO, LET ME GET SOME MORE UNDERWATER KILLS!!", I than capped the intel and he ragequit

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

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.

I make it my mission to turn every 2fort game into a melee brawl. My succes rate is about 70%

 

[Enigmers]

From my experience on MW2, people don't care about winning, they don't care about their team, they only care about their K ratio and their achievements. The only honest game mode is FFA.

 

[Irridium]

If you cant win doing that why on a weekends without fail do I get stuck on a team playing rush with 7 snipers and me?

Also I about a week ago I ran into a group of people just sitting at the m-com station arming and defusing the bomb for points, I promptly took out my piston and shot the guy from the other team in the head then got booted from the server, so it does happen in BC2 just not as much.

Oh I know. No game is free of assholes. Was just saying it happened far less in BC2.

I don't actually mind the snipers, because even if they're less helpful than say, a medic on the front lines, they're still thinning enemy lines and creating windows of opportunities to plant the bomb.

The assholes who camp the UAV station are a different matter though.

Oh, there's a special place in hell reserved for them.

 

[Pandalisk]

Oh, That is an afront to the gaming Gods!.

I know what you mean, i get that all the time, mostly from people who are really young

Try to play Cage Match and a shrill voice shouts "DONT KILL ME IDIOT!, WERE BOOSTING!!!!"

I kill him again, Kid goes beserk

"WERE BOOSTING!!!" ...No... No we are NOT FUCKING BOOSTING, were playing Cage match as it should be.

Even as i speak my Little brother and his Online friends are shouting at other players to "NO SCOPE! YOU $%&*$" and go beserk when they try to play normally.

Why do they call it "No scoping"? your using the scope! Even if it is just for a second

And dont get me started on that Mike Myers crap

If you want to play your little custom games then host a private match, Christ Almighty.

 

[Au Naturel.]

I don't think I have had this issue. Though I have witnessed it happening to my friends when they play though.

 

[Dark_Lemon]

Ah this definitely harks back to the Penny Arcade 'Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory'.

Incidentally there is nothing worse than being shouted at by a high-voiced child from a thousand miles away (I assume that the majority of the particularly shouty subset of Americans aren't all in Manchester - though there may be a conference or something).

 

[Ariosona]

Well i havn't played MW2 or Battlefield very much, but i do play Halo fairly often and funnily enough, if you join an objective based game, mostly everyone actually goes for the objective.

I assume it's because Halo doesn't let you rank up on how many kills you get, it's based on how many games you win so people actually work to do what they're supposed to.

Obviously you'll get the odd person who just doesn't care and just goes for kills, but as long as there are atleast half the team going for the objective, the other people actually end up providing decent support.

So yeah, good work Halo, still going strong and kicking ass.

 

[Mattallica]

Although lots of people seem to like sniping on offence on Rush.

You can't win the game if you sit on your asses sniping all the time

Quoted for epic truth. I've lost count of the number of times the other three people in my squad have all been sniping from spawn. Apparently the words "It makes no difference, they have infinite respawns" mean nothing to these people...
