It's definitely true that the majority of players are a detriment because they aren't interested in points at all, it's definitely possible to be too much of a suicide hero. There were a couple goons like that who, in close games, would kind of brag about their death count as they rushed over and over at b with no attempt to control the map or time up with others all the while feeding the other team the uav, air strikes and choppers keeping us from controlling the map and thus b.

To be fair, some of the maps in this game are set up so getting from a particular flag to another (like capping B from A in Infection), is extremely difficult. I'm convinced that if you start on A in Infection, the first thing you should do is get C because its very easy to lock down all the routes on that side. The route to get from A to B is very open and its easy to get shot. I guess I could try making a class with Smoke Grenades and see if that helps. There's also the game's wonky netcode that seems to change who it benefits at random. Sometimes you get your poo poo pushed in and there's not much you can do about it.

This seems to be less of a problem in hardcore for some reason, probably because of the lower health.

I don't brag about it because I'm not a total moron, but that's pretty much how I play safeguard. Because I want to shoot Chappie with some goddamn rockets.

I played with goons once but I think my voice chat didn't work because I couldn't hear them :( I'm not sure if they heard me.

Domination with goons is good because they get really mad and yell a lot and then if you lose really bad everyone needs to "take a break."

Safeguard is literally the only mode where a suicide rush works. As long as a body is in proximity to the robot, it will move forward, with nothing able to stop it as long as it has a life bar.
Really, it's about who can shoo(t) people away from the robot the fastest.

Wazzit is on Xbone. Dom has been standard goon fare since the beginning. Now that I'm familiar with the maps and Dom points, I'm playing other modes. Safeguard is a lot of fun.

Because you need to prove you are responsible enough to babysit colored circles on the ground first. Maybe when you're older...

I know it will probably make Safeguard even more of a clusterfuck then it already is, but I want 100 points per kill. That or give us more points for babysitting the drat thing.

I think 75 for a kill is a good compromise, maybe 100 of one of you is near the robot. Also let multiple people escort.

I'd like to see Chappie take a different route or two, maybe a semi random path? Some of the maps have really bad choke points. Or a version that has two Chappies at once?

Which game mode is Domination? As far as I know the only objective based game mode we play is the one where you go for the highest KD while you shoot people hanging around blue or red rings. Sometimes you end up on the bottom of the scoreboard even if you have the sickest KD. Not sure how that works, here's a speedtest if you guys can help me figure out the problem:

I believe I am now no longer in the presence of nice people.


Oh yeah, probably should ask how the gently caress do I git gud at multiplayer. Like, sure I'm near level 7 or 8 with at least 10 Cryptokeys and a pull on that slot machine thing. Also I'm still running the KN-44, maybe dabbling in the Brecci and snipers which feel good than previous snipers idk why

And I would ask to git gud at Zmobies but I feel pretty good at it. The Season Pass and The Giant are definitely on my list, can't just keep playing Shadows of Evil forever.
