Quote: | Therein lies the reason I don't have much respect for "medics" in the leagues. Yes, they can cap well. Yes, they can move quickly and effectively. But when they leave their wounded teammates out to dry in the enemy base, they're only hurting themselves in the long run. |
First off: Often they do. Even in the pubby servers, and not matches.
Second off: I sure do. For the simple reason that the entire o is usualy Medics and they will slowly heal themselves. They can wait if they are that seriously injured.
Quote: | The flag NEEDS to be moved, not neccesarily capped. Most of the time the flag is in a postition that is easily defended and difficult to get to. |
Well that's why you see so many people who get a touch throw the flag right away, regardless of who is around.
Quote: | I hope you arent' suggesting that perhaps they should take time away from the primary team objective of capping (the only way to score points for your team in these maps) to heal teammates who are also attacking. |
Agreed. The name of the game is capture the flag. To heal some guy that probably won't help you anyway in the long run is pointless when you have a shot at grabbing the flag. Besides, everytime someone wants to be healed they squirm alot and it's hard to heal them. So i gave up on that idea.
And Thom, i figure if i get 1337 enough i can compete at some lan games for some bucks.  _________________

If you dont heal your teammates it does hurt you indirectly. Maybe it wont help you get the flag, but it will help you in the long run. If your teammate is low on health or infected and left that way, thier O will have a much easier time taking them out. Now you have to get the flag again and cap it cause you left your team injured. Now if your teammate is in the middle of a battle then yes I can see not healing him cause you might end up dieing and having to start your trip to the flag all over again. I will sometimes just hang back for a sec and hope my teammate wins his little battle then health him back up. |

Ummm....
Bobins, thanks for leaping to The 'Villes defense, but that was TYO saying those things. Sarcasm, not real opinion.
See, what he is saying is that some of the opinions expressed in this thread and on the boards in general are pissing the shit out of him because they are so condescending to the folks who come here for comaraderie and a good time.
It is exhausting to continue reading about how the league players are so much better than us, how league play is where it's at, how the league players know all and see all.
So here I am, I'm gonna say this once, then I'm gonna get back to being the happy go lucky guy that I usually am.
There are a lot of good players on this server, based on the competiton. I don't claim to be anywhere near the league players. Even if I didn't have a morgage, 2 vehicles, 2 kids, several animals and a wife to support (therefore freeing up time to try and play on a league), I don't believe that I would be as good as a league player. Do you know how often this keeps me up at night??? Not once. Do you know how often this impacts the quality of my life??? Never.
I feel like I'm a pretty good player, and since I've been playing this game online for a couple of years, I feel like I can recognize another good player when I see one. I have a much greater challenge on the 'Ville than many of the other public servers because we've got a good number of excellent "public server" players running around. The strategies that are discussed here are strategies designed to accomplish the goals of a "public server" player. I'm sure that a league player would prioritize winning ahead of having a good time. Super for them, those better than thou (and moi) players can go get 'em and tear 'em up for all I care. On the other hand I, and many like me, are here to have fun, darn our second class "public server" hides.
So, we may not be as super Fucking studly (any admin can delete that word and chastise me vigorously for using it, I'm just a little mad right now) as those League Players, and maybe not as good as you league player wannabe's, but we're good enough to know what we enjoy, and WE ENJOY THE 'VILLE!!!
So
Lay
Off.
And Bobins, this rant is not directed at you. I really mean it when I say, thanks for standing up for The 'Ville.
Good Day. _________________

I used to be a good medic(at the hight of my skillz I had more infection kills than both MJ and Snag combined ) but my medic days are over.(I love the pyro!) Ill still play every once and a while. But anyhow, learn to conc well. It is very usefull. Also, I almost always have my medipack out. No matter my enemy, I usually infect first. This is because it gives em more time to infect the other team and it usually insures me a kill. Also, one last important thing as a medic, THE STATS DONT MATTER! U usually will not get good stats as a medic until you are REALLY good(especially in my case, I never get good stats, but that doesn't matter its for the fun of it). Just dont expect to be great in the stat field. Be a nice med too, always heal ur team when u see them, no matter whats going on. Ok thats my two sence. If u want more tips, talk to Brujah.

I apologize if I'm one of the people whom you thought was being condecending however those were defintely not my intentions.
All I suggest is that the most important role for anyone on any server playing any class is to Cap the flag or prevent the flag from being capped.
People have different approaches to acheive this, but as long as they are playing for the team it doesn't really matter. I hope there's no hard feelings. and I hope this can return to a peaceful batting around of suggestion and morph into a total flame fest. _________________ "Don't be so humble - you are not that great."
