I like when my team likes to camp behind where they should. That gives me a lot more targets to hopefully kill. I tend to do "worse" when I have good teammates that move up to where they should. When I finally get out of spawn, most of the enemies are killed and sitting in their corners waiting. If you want a team game, then join a clan that does some kind of competitive play. A little communication in a public server is still fun and useful, but it is rare.

I *Try* to communicate to others, usually just by radio signals... They're
quick, easy, you can use them while moving/shooting, etc, and, even
though it's a public server (lamest ... excuse ... ever) people still don't
like to die, and I feel it's a good way to let others be aware of what is going
on... And people respond well to sound and hearing the same thing over
and over again (which is why I never communicate over voice, it's just too
random and wastes time and trying to recognize sudden voices is tough.)

And also, anyone who's ever played a crazy Anzio map where Allies get 1,000
points know the awesomeness teamwork can acquired. Who cares if it's
a public server (LEE), it's still awesome to win, and if you play together, this
will happen quite a bit (especially if the other loser team doesn't play teamwork.)

I understand your frusterations, and definately the need to vent.

Seriously though, it's a pub.. and what can you expect? I find the ville to be a much more pleasant place than a lot of other servers I've played on.... hence the reason I joined TVR and pretty much only play on the ville.

One I would add to the list is:

CHILL OUT! Don't whine or complain about people. I think it is extremely rude how many people insult others, etc.... and the constant whine of "so and so sniper... you suck." Sure, its common courtesy not to play a limited class if you arent that great... but seriously..... maybe they are trying to get better with that weapon.

The game was created as something fun to do in spare time. It needs to stay fun. Constant nagging and bickering ruin the game for many people. No need to take everything so seriously.

Maybe I'm reading your thread being a little biased, because I think the other day you told me to "shut up and just play" at a point, and I was actually quite offended by it.

Heh, well DoD can be a source of frustration and a way to vent frustration. I do get slightly pissed at times and I always have, but I blame the flaws of the game or the ridiculous sequence of events that led to my death...

But I think it's extremely rude to single someone out and tell them how awful they are. Someone's 10 - 25 with a sniper rifle? Then don't go through the middle. Find a different route where you're at an advantage and your life doesn't depend on the skill of your teammates. Don't expect anyone to keep you alive.

Being a public server, it's open to the public - obviously you're going to get players with all different sorts of skill. That's why you need to depend on yourself to do what you can for a team.

And never, ever worry about your K : D ratio. You can sit in a window at flag one for hours and hours and manage a 6 or 7 K : D ratio but that means absolutely nothing. If you're going to set a performance goal for yourself, go for kills per minute. At TV I, the rounds are 30 minutes, say to yourself you're going for 30/40/50 frags whatever. You'll keep moving and engaging instead of sitting back and camping, sitting back and waiting for someone to enter your kill zone will never help a player improve. But learning how to properly engage and succeed in very different situations are where skills come from.
