Well folks, it is my sad duty to announce that from now i will not be partaking in casual games of MTW online anymore. This is a choice i have been deliberating for some time, but after a series of battles i have decided to take some time out from the game.
Lately i have been playing quite a bit of MTW online, and lately i have been losing more than ever, and i must say that it has been unfortunatly since VI came out. Now its nothing to do with my skills as a general on the field of battle, rather it the frustration at many of my allies in games i have played. I can recall countless times now where one ally has always been the cause of a failed game. Now this is not newbies i am talking about, though some are there (they will always help in losing at times, but its just thier nature) rather it is players that i have seen on many times. My frustration begins with lack of skill to start with. Not generalship skills, rather the skill to be able to read the ebb and flow of a battle, the skill of chosing the right moments to charge, flank etc. as is my nature i ask my allies to do these things, and whenthey do i am happy, and all goes well, that is if they even need asking ( many dont) BUT then there is that minority of players who always like to do thier own thing. They arent team players, rather they tend to camp off in thier own little world, ignoring thier allies please for them to flank.
Well now i also must apologise to the players i have been frustrated at that i may have abused verbally, this is due to weeks of frustration at the game, and so for the name of my clan and its honour i have decided to take a break from any casual games online. I will be seen at times, but these times will now only be in games with good friends and clanmates. I can no longer tolerate having a player come in and ruin a potentually great game with thier selfish tactics.
MTW relies on teamwork, and a team that doesnt work will lose, no matter how great the generals are.
Farewell for now
