Breakdown In Communication

[LtKillroy]

Is it just me, or does it seem like there is less teamchat then there used to be, at least in pubs. It seems like a year ago you were always getting "3 enemies low" or "EFC escaping up", but know only 1 or 2 people in a server say these things. Even when you say things like this, people hardly pay attention. People are getting easy caps, especially on Inf, becuase people don't even know where the EFC is. Is this happening to you too, or is it just me? (once again, this happens mostly in pubs)

Because moest people in pubs don't even have editted taunts.

[Wormdundee]

You don't need edited taunts to be able to tell someone where the flagger is. I don't think I've ever had edited taunts and I've been in many clan wars so I know how useful communication is.

I mean typing out 'efc low' takes about half a second as does any other important information.

1u, 1m, 1d

eu, em, ed

fu, fm, fd

Takes what, 0.2 seconds to write? ;( and usually you taunt when you are dead, especially the incoming-taunts.

I have dedicated all my numbers to ctf alerts.

Most people in pubs do not understand what all those abbreviations mean. But still, it doesn't take long to type efc, inc etc.. Most people just don't bother or think they can take care of it themselves.

[DePhille]

I don't think people will understand what you mean when you type 'fu' .

It's true that most of the players in public servers don't have their own taunts. However, I don't see any decrease or increase in the usage of taunts in public servers. I think it depends on the server you play on.

I always use these kinds of warnings and reports and you know what? If you starts using them, other people will quickly catch on and help!

[Cappy]

I also use them a lot. When your teammates don't use good communication, I think that's a major problem because it might be why your team is losing.

[Brock]

Most people in pubs don't communicate.  Why?  Cause pubs are just for fun, so what if you lose, it's just a game.  Most people in CWs or Gathers or whatever are usually playing competitively, so of course they would use taunts.

[BondJamesBond]

You know why I don't communicate in pubs anymore? Cause it create some sort of expectation for me. If I tell them were the EFC/FFC is every time, they begin to rely on me. Then one time, I don't where the EFC is, and the opponents cap, and suddenly my team's shoving their ego into my face.

[jbigz]

I have heavily edited taunts for INC's, EFC's, and FFC's. What really pisses me off is when my own team says "SHUDDAF*CK UP NOOB". Usually happens when i taunt right after the other "INC HIGH" "INC MID" or more than one in a second. I'm just telling them where the baddies are... geez. If they are coming from more than one place, I FEEL MY TEAM SHOULD KNOW, FTW.
