Head Density

[Speshul]

This is a rant. But there's no rant section, and it is about AoS.

How dense can peoples' heads be? I've come across way too many teams on those "Spade- and Grenade-only" servers that just cannot seem to grasp the concept that only the spade and grenade can kill. Do they not suspect something's amiss when they empty magazine upon magazine of bullets into an opponent, only for to get beaten down with a spade? Don't they notice that the person they're shooting in close quarters doesn't even seem to notice their health going down? Don't they notice that NOBODY seems to care about their health going down? Do they not have the common sense to think to try out some other means of killing an enemy if the gun isn't doing anything? Are their basic pattern recognition skills so degraded that they don't notice that the killfeed only says (Spade) or (Grenade) after a kill? Or that the only people out on the battlefield who seem to be doing any killing are using their spades or grenades to kill?

I'm ridiculously frustrated at joining a spade-n-nade server only to have the enemy team effectively run circles around mine because my teammates have no basic pattern recognition. The other team will just keep charging right into our base or towards our intel, while my teammates will be standing around shooting ineffectively and get backed into a corner to avoid being spaded (or worse, stand completely still while still shooting).
One or a handful of players can only do so much.
Every time this happens I do my best to tell my team that guns aren't doing any damage, in ALL CAPS, and the simplest of english language. Yet rarely does my team ever actually understand the message, which is excusable for those players who don't have english game-names (which might imply a weak or nonexistant understanding of english), but is completely, horribly, inexcusably pathetic for those players who quite obviously DO speak english.

Yes, people, let's just sit around and let the enemy team smack us to death and constantly capture our intel.

End rant. Anybody else have similar experiences?

This is pretty much why I stopped playing zombies. That and fucking squads.

I really wish people would stop making such unnecessary comments. Is it so hard to treat all people the same?

Well its not like it isnt partially true. Generally speaking, people that dont know english (not all of them do) wont be able to read instructions written in english.

This is my strategy on such servers: keep running up to the enemy and shooting them so they think you're a duece, then quickly take out your spade and kill them.

At first i thought i was laggy after 1 minute i was getting spade streaks in no time.
I think at first everyone makes the mistake but as i said its pretty easy to grasp when you get killed by the spade once or twice.

Such a strategy is good if your team can actually clue in and not get themselves mass-buried (see what I did there?).

Your average AoS player assumes anyone able to break blocks is hacking.

Your average AoS player believes airstrikes = grenade hacks.

Your average AoS player builds gigantic creeper faces or flags instead of using their rifle.

Your average AoS player is more concerned with encasing the CP in a rainbow castle than stop the guy running around with the intel.

Your average AoS player will follow you around attempting to teamfrag you and steal the intel you're trying to capture and then votekick you for health hacks when they realize they aren't doing damage [If they realize.]

Your average AoS player considers 1block thick walls invincible and will never add a second layer to anything they build.

Your average AoS player is generally the best living argument against Darwinism on the planet.

You shouldn't be surprised at general ignorant deucery on servers.

It's because I generally don't see any of those behaviors (about 90% of the time I don't) that I have to rant like this.
The only times I ever see people really start to slack off is when we're so far ahead in points AND have a group pinning them down anyways.

Kiddies that cover the CP in blocks.

Admins that bitch about complaints and don't investigate.

People that crowd sniper holes and get you both killed.

People that chop down high pillars because "they are pointless shit" and don't realize it's the start of a massive fort of awesomeness.

People that bait you into destroying a block so they can tk.

I love melee.

But you'd expect that some level of common sense is involved, right? Deduction skills? Everyone getting kills is using the spade, and every time you respawn, you never get a kill with a gun! You'd think people would start suspecting at SOME POINT that the gun doesn't do anything.

[Funk]

no when there gun runs out that throw it at them then try a diffent gun.
