I don't know about you, but I love feeling like the smart, responsible one who stays and tries to keep the base defended or on line. The only problem with the ones who go vigalante on me, is that at the same time, so does the enemy team, from the other direction. They all get to my base, and well, there went out slight lead, to a major defeat. I usually end up dying about 15 times trying to run back and forth defending, repairing, and haplessly trying to plant what little C4 I have on a heavily armored vehicle, only to be run over before I can get close enough. It's times like this, where I wish I was playing on a Clan game, at least Clans really know how to use teamwork...

That is one thing that I never like to play with, is being a defender and having newbies use the rush tactics using APC/HUMVEES and then leaving them for the enemy to take them.

I remember one time on Hourglass while using a Mammoth as Base Defense, a newbie took a apc to rush the nod base, apc comes back a few minutes later under nod control. I see the nod icon and open fire. Newbie teammates yells at me using foul language. Later on am all alone while newbies does another apc rush and then here comes 10 flame tanks over the hill. I know that my Mammoth alone cannot take on all 10 flame tanks, so telling newbie teammates about the flame rush they tell me to (another use of foul language). Well I decided enough was enough and bailed the game.
