Shenzen - Rogatka I noticed a limping Rhino trying to duck into the city for cover. So, I gave chase. Jumped down in front of them Bang! - dry .. didn't pay attention to my ammo. A face full of Tulumbas later - Dead .. Lmao... I do this in almost every match with my Griffin while my punishers are reloading. This exact scenario happened to me this morning before work. |

not an epic fail just looking stupid: I saw once in a video the C beacon (beside the dam) on Springfield can be capped at the lowest ground level (saving time jumping etc), if u get close enough to the wall (the video guy said "secret, don't tell a dev"). so when I spawned under the dam, I went to the wall below the C beacon and rubbed my chin on the wall. beacon didn't turn blue. thinking maybe there should be a right spot, I continued rubbing my face to the wall and scanned on. didn't work. a blue bot on the way to the beacon D (center beacon) saw me doing this, and ejected. we lost the match  . question: can the beacon C really be capped on the ground level? or did a dev notice this and fix(?)ed it? |

Mine was at the Powerplant a month ago. My RDB Griffin covers on a wall as I prepare to engage on one of the two reds that was within my line of sight. My plan was to jump and unload my rockets to my target. But as I was about to do that, I pressed the red button first; wasting my rockets to the wall and then I jumped which was pretty stupid. Generally being killed by low skill RDB griffin pilots to be honest... jump shoot.... jump shoot... no skill ... jump shoot... BORING af mate |

Nice one O.P. just before posting I was saying to myself, "Probably something-something to do with a bad jump." Suffice to say you do not disappoint! Thanks.
Mine would be any one of many bad escape jumps with the Griffin into a wall or teammate.

Action gets intense. I'm desperately swiping to rotate torso as fast as possible. Hit buttons off bottom of phone screen inadvertently. Desperately try to get back into game.
Connecting...
Dead...
I have also been known to try to rotate torso too soon after firing and contuing to shoot, spraying everything in a nicre radius along the way, while rotating, for no reason.

had another last night. Springfield, B beacon. my first bot died turning it blue, together with the red. I hurriedly return there with a Griff, since nobody was defending it. when I arrived, a red just jumped on from their spawn ground. I patiently waited till he was within 350m. we started shooting and jumping together, and what the ...? my weapons stopped shooting after a couple seconds. I thought I brought the PDB, but it was RDB. died immediately, the beacon lost, we lost the battle, (and again I was the last in damage -_-) for the first time, thinking of buying paint jobs, just to remind myself what bots I am driving |

The other night on Powerplant we were trying to regain our beacon bar from a 4-1 deficit. I launched my Aphid Stalker and veered to my right, heading towards the wrecked ship beacon. I had inteded to drop into the ditch to tackle a Thunder Magnum Leo on an intercept course, but a fellow Blue respawning in an RDB Griffin had the same idea. Figuring he could jump out at any time I decided to stay on higher ground and let him liberate it. The pair of us pelted the Leo, whilst trying to hold off a Red RDB Griff who had come to its aid. The friendly RDB continued on to reclaim the beacon after destroying the Leo and pursue the Red Griff. I thought I'd be cheeky and let off a volley of Aphids as I darted from the between the towers, into the alley to reclaim the nearby beacon.... only to run head-first into a Tarancilot who made short work of me.

Last weekend I squadded with come of the cats in my chapter. I was trying to be a good team mate, so I studied each one's hanger, and picked what I thought would be the perfect complimentary support hanger...two Carnage's, a Gary and a Shutze. I was going to put an ancile on the shutze, thunders and zeuss on the carnages, and taran/mag on the gary. This way, I would be able to provide splash protection for the guys running brit bots, and then plasma protection for the two fujuin's that were going to be in play. We talked about strategy, what bots to launch first, etc. I get impatient and start pestering to launch the match.. LEEEEEERRRRRRROOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYY JENKINS!!!!!!
only to be faced with 4 bots....no weapons. I had forgot to equip them somehow.

This game has more room for improvement with regards to dynamic movements that would make this game more exciting to play. Nice observation, mate! |

Anytime of indecisiveness. Should I go right or left? Should I rush or stay with a wing? Should I defend the beacon or back off and move with the pack?
Also, dropping the wrong Bot for the current tactical situation. I hate that.

Not my mistake, but my bot's: after playing my rog I use any of my carnages. And those stupid bots won't jump out of danger when I press the jump button...

Case #1 - Gep @ Yama, center beacon, and those dreaded corner spots, I got stuck so perfectly that my legs were all way down, paddling the thin air while torso was nice&tight stuck between plate and platform. One red was just standing there patiently watching the show to his/hers amusement...didn't even fire a shot. Case #2 - [something not too heavy, whith less then lots of HP, but I'm not sure what it was now  ] @ canyon...there was one pesky Carny there with Tridents, so after respawn I decided to eradicate the little bugger. I found it hiding behind one of boulders/hills, pilot moved away a bit, I thought maybe saw my approach but finally after some corner sneaking...hah - gotcha! Well only problem was that it came out the other way around, as the carny proved to be fully loaded ancilot. Not exactly the outcome I had hoped for lol. To make it worse that was shortly into new mm, so whatever I had 8/8 was usually getting lotsa love from 11/11 - 12/12 Case #3...#182 - Griffin @ all maps - heh lots of those fails in this department. -The before mentioned wet-spaghetti acrobatics - that I get every other day, either attack mode or jump away that ends in a nice wall-slide. -Ambushing something with DB, just to find it's holding loaded Thunders -Forming attack group with 2 blues only to find them go 90-deg off moment before entering the hot-zone. Pants all the way down - thanks guys! -Fire in mid air without target lock or accidental hitting of target lock, same effect with targeting switch during salvo - a nice fireworks saluting one other red from 600m+ distance -repeat all above... |

Quoting myself to add to my epic failure. Somehow I have been playing the game outside of Samsung Game Launcher, which locks the keys off the bottom of the screen to prevent exactly what I posted from happening.  |

Dying minute on PowerPlant, 4 Blues & 3 Reds, but the Reds have have beacons B, C, E, and the territory domination meter is only slightly favoring Red. Everyone is in heavy mechs around beacons D,C and E. I approach beacon B in my damaged Orkan Rogatka and start capping it just as a "hanging on by a thread" PDB Griff comes within range, I dive bomb and destroy him, but was promptly taken out by a Zeus Fury. I look at beacon B and it's neutral color, Reds have one mech left, and we lose. Beacon capture > target of opportunity!
