Nothing pisses me off more than this scenario: My team has been winning all game (held more beacons) or it's been real close and outcome is too hard to tell. We either have it locked or potential to win but for whatever reason we start dropping like flies. There's only 1 guy left on my team now with :50 left to go. It's 4 vs 1 and instead of falling back to stay alive for the remainder of the game to secure the win (or potentially win) he goes right out in the middle of them and tries taking them all on!! !! Did he think he was going to kill all 4 of them?? Is his screen cracked near the top so it looks like the other little blue robot shaped icons are still lit up?? Does he just not give a 「dookie」?? I just don't understand how someone could not notice that. I've lost so many games we should have won because of this. I can understand it happening in the real low leagues but in Gold & above? Unless all your teammates just happen to die at the same till with their last mech and you happen to be left standing in the middle.. this should never happen. So if you are new to the game and have not really though about this, do yourself and your teammates a favor and pay attention. Unless it's a blowout and you know your team has no chance of winning, when you see that you are one of the last few or last person left, stay alive. Take cover and try and tough it out till the clock runs out. PLEASE!

I've had that happen a few time's as well. Just a situational awareness thing. Unless the guy was in a Fury...then he ain't running away from anything.

Did he think he was going to kill all 4 of them?? LOL! I did exactly this today on Canyon. Usually if the reds are clever, they spread and get all beacons for a sure win. So i headed for the nearest red beacon in my DB and also killed 2 reds... only 2 more left and my health still full. Well, of course my controls started locking again, so i was killed while trying to get the crosshair on the red somehow... I might have succeeded, if Pixo would finally take a look at the locking controls bug ... And i also had my Gareth in store, just in case my DB got killed, but i didn't even bother to drop it after the lame bug hit me again. But yes, sometimes it is better to hide in the farest corner of the map, if the reds can not get multiple beacons and their bar is almost gone

knife fighters mentality maybe? (even though all weapons have range in this game) or wanted to go down in a blaze of glory?

Well, I've been in that situation, being the last bot, and if I know I'm the last bot, I'll try to duck out and stay alive. Unless we still need beacons, and then it's just throw caution to the wind and try to save the win. But there have been a few of those occasions where I'm not the last guy until I'm already engaged -- i.e., the second and third last players get killed before I do, and what looked like a workable 4 on 3 is suddenly 4 on 1. It happens. Anyway, usually in those situations, unless your team already has a sizeable beacon advantage, the reds with that kind of numbers advantage are gonna grab the beacons they need.

So.... I totally agree, but that's not the biggest of issues I have. My biggest issue is when I go into battle with a guy right behind me and he abandons me and leaves me for dead. After repeated experiences like this, it's no wonder I play mostly heavies.

when you have 4-1 beacons you want to hold back and stall the timmer out. i see a lot of players run out like an idiot and get killed. what this does allow red to kill you and march out and start capping beacons. i agree with OP. its common.
