    I would like to suggest that we make all bio labs vehicle or air resources instead of infantry. I am proposing this change to help get the people that just farm in there out and fighting at other bases, if we take away their endless source of infantry resources it might help get out and about.

    Thoughts?

    Why? Let people play how they want.

    Bio-labs are mainly infantry fights.
    Makes sense to reward them with infantry resources.
    Why does it bother you that people specialize in bio-lab fights?
    Is there a wrong way to play PS2?

    Doesn't seem like that bad of an idea to me. Would make you more dependent on the area you own, and the links to those areas.

    wouldn't leave biolab anyway, how would i keep up my 10 kdr, 400xp/min req for my outfit then?! i would like have to learn how to aim and stuff ew.

    /sarcasm.

    Its a cycle though, the more they defend the more nade spam and max suits they get, its completly impossiable to attrition them out, you need to straight up have way more people to get them out due to the way they gain resources. Why does it bother you that I want people to actually manage their resources instead of spamming nades?

    Eventually attackers can have a chance at beating the bio-farm through attrition.

    In other words you don't like bio labs because you can't farm infantry with your Prowler and Mosquito? (half of your kills are with those 2 vehicles)

    i'm sure lolpodders thought lolpods were fun at relase, and yet they got nerfed. (having to learn how to aim, ew lolpodders worst nightmare)

    Our tactics are terrible, so an artificial way of swaying needs to be implemented.
  12. zib1911

    Explain to me good tacticas then, It always seems to be 2 platoons blocking the 2-3 ways into a biolab. What strat do you use? You get farmed endlessly as an attacker. Please explain how you do it, all I am hearing is I get so many certs there don't mess with my SPH!!
  13. zib1911

    That affects the OP how? Please explain how my points make no sense because my playstyle.

    There is no reason to get pissy my friend. Here is something you should try: Gauge the numbers you face and assess whether or not you can bring a similar force. Get on the command channel and ask for reinforcements, control all outlying satellite bases and set up a base of operations at one, two or all three of them. Capture surrounding territories to curb enemy spawn abilities. Organize your attacking force to launch the assault concurrently.

    All I am hearing is I can't organize sht, so kick them out just because they are better than me.

    I am the pissy one? I gave a suggestion and you trolled it, why you making this personal?

    You want people to leave bio labs (the only place where your Prowler and Mosquito have no chance to kill them).

    I really don't think people stay at bio labs because of the resources either. You can easily fight at a bio lab without spending any resources. They stay at bio labs because it is constant action, and without the threat of being wtfpwned by tanks and aircraft. It is also a constant stream of XP, for all the XP/cert hoarders out there.

    The terrible spawning system in this game doesn't really encourage people to leave a fight either. A lot of times the choice will be between a bio lab fight where they can get constant non-stop action, and driving a sundy 5 hexes to the next base and maybe getting a fight, maybe not.

    I thought this thread was about harvesting the cabbages in the bio lab.

    My whole life is a lie :(

    You ignored what I posted and chose to hang on something I gave you as a reply to a less than intelligent post?

    Here is what I said, see if you can ignore common sense again:

    It really makes me wonder if this game is not filled with people who constantly eat paint chips.

    You keep bring up that I vehicle *****, but why don't you go look at those stats again, let me help you I don't like you twisting **** to suit your purpose.

    Mossie kills 1201 mossie vehicle kills 1066

    Prowler is 5543 kills Prowler vehicle kills 1504 2100 of those were from HE back in dec when it was crazy op.

    So I guess I could bring some point about 266h hours you played as an infiltrator farming those 5k kills with an smg not to mention the 1200 kills you get with betties. I guess thats fun in a bio lab, I now see why your so opposed to this idea.


    So I hardly "farm Infantry" with my vehicles. You can also look at my played time, more then half of that was spent looking at a map while I lead platoons during our outfit ops.

    Do me a huge favor and stop trying to turn this argument against me so as to avoid the OP all together. I gave a suggestion that would spread people around the map instead of keeping them holed up in a bio lab, I prefer wide scale action not clearing out space bubbles loaded with nade spam and max suits everywhere.

    I am not ignoring common sense just the drival coming from you.

    I guess to make a post on balance you need to be objective, obviously your not.
