When you hear that the opposing team planted a beacon and you are just wondering around the base doing nothing with basic inf, turn into an engy, walk around the buildings until you hear the beeping noise and then get closer to it and it will get louder. When you see it make a quick team chat (F3) saying what buildings its at (ex. "beacon at ref") and then proceed to disarm it by aiming repair gun at it (hotwires and techs will disarm way faster) until the energy is gone, you will recieve 300 points also so its worth it. Also there will usually be a stealth black hand guarding it so you may also want to include this in a chat if you die from it while attempting a disarm (ex "blackhand guarding beacon") - This will mostly save you the game or at least the building. -So many times after a beacons deployed I see 3-5 newbies standing still with regular solders when they could be helping to disarm the beacon and I am frantically trying to disarm it.

5 basic soldiers with guns to defend against Stealth Soldiers if you don't know how to use the Engineers pistol But seeing as they can't disarm the beacon, they are obviously not needed. Engineers should be responible for ALL in base defence.

I can't stand newbie's and people like C4kitty who don't know how to play as team. Fixing buildings and taking care of beacons are a MUST... Without defending and communication--> leads to failure. Saving Buildings keep the you/game alive and prevents you from losing the game. Joining a game..5seconds later hearing building destroyed on your side = makes me want to destroy the idiots who don't understand the concept of teamwork... Always fix building, even if your on your way to MCT. You get points and credits for every second of repairing...Be smart destroy C4kitty

^ I hear ya, I just tend to hope targets like flame tanks are destroyed b4 they enter the base, cause once they are in there... The best is teams of 16 with 4 Med tanks, an APC for rushing, a Mammoth for base defence and 2 MRLS's to support your Med Tanks. Keep 5 Engies/Techs at your base for local defence and send everyone else to keep the enemy away from your base. When teams are properly oriented it makes it incredibly hard to flame tank rush.

you're very right about that but don't blame the engie guys who are doing there best to defend our base and besides that see if u can get those lame ass one man army's to listen to each other and helping no one is going to do that (well,some does,like me)and some of u guys ass well and when everybody is helping eachother and sharing info about the enemy it's much more fun to play the game see ya in battle

You can try this: Complain to the host about people like C4Kitty and if the game is either not dedicated or the host is playing on his own dedicated game, you have a chance of getting your way through. Might also work better if others also complain. (Has worked for me.)
