Oh and one other thing. In the deal with large assaults like with tanks..... where in the world are the techs? Thats one of many fallen teamwork tactics. Some people are to scared to be small and vulnerable to the world. So now the person who bought, the tank has to be a tech and repair his own tank, tankin' the risk of getting the thank jacked. We gotta start bringing the techs with the tanks now. I know it will really help.

My rule is to always heal my tank in the safety of the AGT or Obelisk (even if it means driving all the way back there). Of course, the Mammoth is the exception, because i'm not going to take all that time to head back and out again. But better let it die rather than risk letting the enemy have it

I quite often sacrifice myself. At the beginning of a new game, instead of rushing out with a flame-thrower/grenadier to pound the harvester, I run out with a basic soldier into the fray of battle, and find a safe spot (On City, I run up to the highway, on Under, I climb up the hill. On Walls, I set up on the wall). Once I'm set up, I look out for any early buggy or APC rushes, and notify the team. If the rushes are quite big, I'll suicide and turn into a flamethrower/grenadier and help stop the assault. This stops most of those early match making assaults on the base, and while we saved up our credits for Medium Tanks and Mobiuses, the other team is just rich enough to use Officers and Rocket Soldiers.

I also like WW's quick radio command keys. Unfortunately, they can get annoying... "Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!"
"Guard that structure!" Jeez... STFU! 1 or 2 times is enough! I've even entered a few games where the host suddenly threatened me by saying that if I bought any artilleries, he would kick me out. I listened for a bit, but went ahead and bought one. Luckily, he was busy playing on the other side of the map that he didn't notice. By the time he noticed, there was only 10 seconds left in the game. Whew!

With 6 timed c4 on the mcp and 3 adv enemy engies runnin around you don't got time for that one. But on the other you already know its gonna blow like hell so what.

It's rather hard to get your team to work together in time of perils. I was on Nod in City, and I think they had taken out our Hand (and later our Ob), so I called a stealth rush. We had about 4 stealths on the way, when unfortunately, ALL of them started firing at an enemy APC running by. 1 or 2 firing is enough, but all of us firing sorta gives away the suprise. Few minutes later, me and one of my friends were at the barracks already. To my dismay, 2 of the stealths were AWOL on the other side of the map, so we decided to attack and failed. We all bought stealths again, and this time we attacked the Weap Factory. We actually got there in one piece and destroyed the factory, but everyone ignored my call for retreat and every single one of our tanks got fragged (and they had a clear escape route, and didn't take it) But we finally pulled through when we brought 2 stealths and 2 artilleries and took out the Power plant and later the entire base (at the same time, our Ob went down). But it takes an annoying ammount of effort to keep your team together

I agree with the general sentiment. Teamwork seems to be dead, but that's not the only thing that's gone down the tube. Part of the problem is people just don't know how to use the tools they've got. A Havoc isn't any good if you can't hit the minigunner that's charging you (something I actually did to a Havoc), and the MRLS just isn't made for short range combat. Also, too many people think that the more expensive a unit is, the better it is, which simply isn't true. A minigunner, IMO, is much better at taking out buggies/humvees, MRLS/Artilleries, and helis than, say, a Deadeye, and you can't imagine how many times I've seen a Havoc shooting at my Med/Mammoth Tank while I was rolling toward the enemy base.
If people just took the time to learn how to use the units they have (like I did with the Machine Gun, my favorite sniping weapon), then they'd be able to pull off spontanious rushes without much talk between them.
Of course, that only solves half the problem. People still need to learn how to work together to beat the enemy, not go off on their own to rack up the points.
BTB, I once took out a Flamer with a Sakura inside with a Grenadier on my own without dying one time on Under.BTB, I agree that the filters filter out too much, which interfer's with saying things like do***entation, but I also think that they need some sort of Language filter, because without it, there would just be too much vulgarity.
