Now as horrible and annoying as Point Whores, or Puss.W's as they have been called are, they are not all bad. No really think about it. What’s better then getting a free Engi on Hourglass setting two remote C4's on either side of the hill and blasting away two enemy Artillery pieces?
Or how about parking a Nod buggy beside your base while waiting for that Gunner rush?
You know, one that really is amusing is popping the skulls of the moron Flame troopers in Field who try to take out the Barracks.
Of course that is not nearly as entertaining as taking out ST Harvy hunters on City.
The idea is simple; if you can win then win.
If you can't, then it’s probably because you’re on a team of morons who can't get their act together.
Take charge.
Ask for Command.
Give the order.
Crush the opposition.

On hourglass, just ram the point whores on the hill, over the top, and let the automated defenses do the cleanup for you.
Great for a good laugh...........

Point whoring is not a bad thing... It's how you win the game. But when basically the whole team is point whoring and that's all they're doing there's no point. If the makers of renegade did not want point whoring they would have made it not possible with such things as MRS's and Mobiles . Point whoring gets a lot of people pissed and there's really no strategy to it but it helps win the game. Something to think about :rolleyes:

My problem with MRLS or ARTY point whores is that they never stop to help the team. Why should they care if the team wins or not. If you are going to park your mrls and duct tape the mouse, you are going to get MVP no matter who wins.
I have 2 problems with this philosphy.
First, take ISLANDS for example. An MRLS will continue to shoot at the Han of Nod even as beacons are placed at the Barracks in plain sight, or while flame tanks drive around the base. they just sit there and point whore. Worthless mate really.
Also, the point whore are feeding the enemy credits. Worse yet, when the enemy refinery is down, the point whore might well be the enemy's ONLY source of credits.
MRLS and ARTYs are powerful tools when used by the right player, but sadly, I almost never see them used properly.

Yep. I'm sorry to say, but point whoring is a valid tactic. It's not uncommon. If everyone's doing nothing, I'll have no choice but to drive MRLS to Nod base and start punching their base. After hearing you guys discussing this, I'm quite guilty  Anyway, if all your teams keep point whoring and the enemy can handle it, I'll just drive an APC in and blow a bilding up, taking those MRLS as a distraction LOL  But be noted: I only do point whoring in laddered games. In unladdered games I avoid doing it whenever possible. I prefer sniping those dudes out LOL

I'm not aware of this before, but correct.

Well, then show us.
In my opinion, MRLS and Arties are used for long-range strike, no matter what the target is. But it's best uesd against buildings. Next to it is vehicles, esp slow moving one. Also, it's used for providing fire support. But that's not very effective as sometimes MRLS and Arites are targeted right before main firepower, which I'm not sure if it's a good or stupid strategy. :rolleyes: Also I found some players bought it and use it for main firepower. It does packs good punch, but its low health won't make it stands on the battlefield for a long time, except you have 5 engies around you.

Engineers can also point whore.
If you only got the power plant left and the otherside still has all the buildings. There is 20min left. The power plant has 5 tanks around them but still many people stay repairing to get ranked high in on there own side to not lose there ranking. But you won't win anyway. So you can beter let the base die and start over again.
