Looked everywhere for what this means and couldn't find it. Anyone know?
I just lost a match where:
> 90 seconds left on the timer
> we had a 3:2 beacon advantage
> the bar had not run out (though we were behind the Reds)
> We had a 4:1 mech advantage
That last bot was on the verge of death, this was a match we would have won in the remaining 90 seconds without fail. So how did the game call it early and declare us losers?

So how did the game call it early and declare us losers? This is not supposed to happen as far as I know. Most of the time where we lose a match I thought we'd won, the clock had run out and our beacon meter was lower. So, maybe someone on the Red team hacked the clock? |

I still do not comprehend what determines who is leading and then to end the game before the time runs out is so confusing. I know that if you kill all the reds then you win and after that it seems like a crap shoot. |

So, each beason you control makes the enemy's control bar decrease by a set amount over time. The more you control, the faster their bar drops. |

Most new players do not realize that it is not the goal to have all 5 beacons, or more beacons than the enemy at the end of the game. This is something that Pixonic should adress somehow.
The more beacons your team holds, the quicker the little red bar on the top shrinks. The more beacons the enemy holds, the quicker the blue shrinks. When the bar hits zero, the other team has won.

Maybe if the status bar flashed red at the top if you were close to losing ... & flashed blue when close to winning ... or if the difference was greater then 25% of the bar ... flashes red with a siren going off  Or a big arrow pops out and points to them and then draws a big red circle around them ... sorry ... I'll stop now something to attract attention to the importance of those indicators. |

With consideration to keep the interface clean and uncluttered I would suggest simply making the blue bar flash/pulse/glow when it falls below the red bar. At least then if someone doesn't know what the bars represent their attention will be drawn to it and they might be inclined to lookup what's happening.

Not only that they turn my wifi off when im shooting people or laggg enough that i cannot turn to shoot their guy ...especially cheaters like the guyz witj pilot in front of their namez ... Also they jip me on gold or just simply turn off the game when you complain about their fake beta server setup games ... Itz all pay to really play ... |

I see the Territory Occupied by the Enemy" loss occasionally. I understand the beacons and blue bar, but what are the conditions to "occupy the enemy's territory?
I'm sure we have all had matches where somehow 3++ members of the blue team are in the red base and it just keeps popping out reds until they kill the blue invaders or all reds die. I have never seen "YOU WIN! You Occupied the Enemy's Territory".
