Abandoning your position is foolhardy. You just need to make better decisions and have a better team. Let me give you a senario that may help.
Youre playing MLG on Midship and you control Pink 2. Your team is just getting total map control and all of a sudden, you get rushed by two people comming up the street from their base. You have a few options in this situation, but lets just say that you decide to fall back to your base and run away. You may have survived, but you just gave the other team the absolute most important part of the map and possibly may have completely changed the dynamic of the game.
You could have dropped nades on them keeping them from getting into P2 until a teammate could help you, you could have wall glitched and killed at least one while wounding the other also. You may have died in the second option but your teammate can easily get control back since you actually did some fighting.
I hate seeing "good players" make crappy decisions. Having skill sometimes means having balls. There is a time and a place to run, but not at the expense of giving up map control. If you dont have control or you are not in an advantageous spot then just do your best to survive. Running toward your teammates while strongsiding usually will keep you alive long enough for them to help you and if the other team is stupid enough to chase, you may can rack up some kills in the process.
If your playing slayer and and enemy calls your position out i'd say it fool hardly to stay, holding the positon if its a tactical area is one option but if a team want clear pink 2 out they will.
Another idea would be to start backing up and letting your team know that there ar "2 on you" map control can be regained a kill against your team cant be recouped, but the correct course of action will change given every situation that occurs in the game.
Depends on the situation. If I'm stuck in P2 and I know I'm gonna get rushed I'm going to stay there because chances are my position is already called out and the enemy may have me covered from multiple angles.
More or less though, I agree with you. Communication is so crucial to victory. As Kevin said, it's more than calling out where someone is, you should call out if he's weak, where he's going to go, what weapon (if he has a power weapon) he has, etc.
Good call Iceman, It really all depends on what going on. As I said earlier, decision making is every bit as important as communication.
