Subject: Holding the Objective

I want to see what other players manage when they hold the objective. What's your best HTO game? I just saw my best.

So, how positive do you go when you HTO?

its stupid to hold objective.

/thread

i mean do you think your cool -blam!- going massivley positive against newbies to the game? do you get a huge ego boost from killing people who dont care about k/d and just play for fun.

in real life where the sun hurts your eyes and girls laugh at you your ego is rivalled by the chess team, so you have to be a jerk to newbies to feel superior until the next time you step outside and realize nobody cares.

Pretty much what Eric Silver said, except in a nicer, less rude, eloquent way.

Anywho I might do it in Grifball occasionally, say if a teammate needs an extermination or killionaire or something. Or if the other team have been acting like jerks. But otherwise no. It's no good.

i know im sorry. its okay to be on the chess team......

Or you know, I find it fun to kill people. If you haven't got any positive contribution, get out of the thread.

you got told.

i only hold the objective in griffball just to let my freinds spawn kill for a bit :) and in MLG flag when we decide to play for fun, get the flag and hide it.

i c u thar c' ing my signiture

Yours in _Kai_

as bad as it is, I would rather finish it quick and get more EXP than get kills.... unless you are playing a bunch of trash talking douchers. I've seen people easily break 100 kills on standoff holding the objective.

I dont play SBTB often, but when I do, I hold the objective.

It really depends on who I'm playing with, if the majority of my party wants to hold, then I'm going to hold, if they dont want to hold then I wont hold. Some people dont like to search for 10 minutes only to have a game that they can end in 3, so they hold the objective to prolong the games. No ones doing it for stats, its so we can play the game, if you dont want to get held on, then quit.

i found it amusing :p

  • 08.31.2010 8:08 AM PDT

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

I don't play SBTB, which is where most of the objective holding occurs. I hate social playlists because they provide little to no competition. So I would not not to prolong a boring game via holding the objective.

  • 08.31.2010 8:17 AM PDT

even if the prize was a higher social K/D??

lol me neither

Not suprised by the amount a brig generals on your team. I love how they HTO in Social Bigteam, but still manage to have terrible K/D's overall.

  • 08.31.2010 8:23 AM PDT

I went +99 in a Gauss because a few of my random teammates were HTO'ing even though I asked them politely to score the flag. Other than that one incident, I don't HTO on principle.

  • 08.31.2010 8:42 AM PDT

Most the time if it happens to me i just stick it out till the end, but if i was on the oppisite team i would rather just get a quick win and the EXP.

  • 08.31.2010 9:57 AM PDT


Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

i don`t usually aim to get the flag or whatever but i`m not quite sure what my highest K/D is in doing so

i never get the warthog turret either and even when i do my teamates don`t know how to drive

i mean do you think your cool -blam!- going massivley positive against newbies to the game? do you get a huge ego boost from killing people who dont care about k/d and just play for fun.

in real life where the sun hurts your eyes and girls laugh at you your ego is rivalled by the chess team, so you have to be a jerk to newbies to feel superior until the next time you step outside and realize nobody cares.



oh b.net, never change.

  • 08.31.2010 10:07 AM PDT

We went close to +400 as a team on Rats Nest.

Thats probably the easiest map to set up a spawn camp on.

HTO is pretty boring though, and I pretty much only do it when people talk trash.

You obviously care. Oh and btw, who gave you the right to tell people how they are supposed to play the game.
