This is by no means a hostile or threatening message, merely tough love and honesty at its finest. We want you to play, but not if we keep seeing you make the same mistakes over and over again.
1. Start playing useful classes
You guys have got to learn how to play reborn boss and Demo, possibly even jan. All of us veterans are sick of having to tell you to get off snowtrooper, or worse, lando. And we don't wanna hear "Oh I suck at that class so I won't play it." And sorry Turkey, but when it comes down to it, all in all snowtrooper and chewie are USELESS classes unless your name begins with Tensor or Turkey or Hawk or possibly jakab/jawa. Everyone else who I have seen try to yews chewie is just too easy to dodge.
2. LEARN SOMETHING when you spec veterans
Too often we see you make mistakes that you really wouldn't have made if you had specced us and paid attention in the first place. Like almost all of you start spamming the stations on Des when there is a bike inside and RIGHT NEXT TO A CONSOLE and we are trying to get it away, only to watch you blow it up and make us lose the objective. THE ABSOLUTE WORST is watching you kill the enemy jan on hoth over and over again for perfect spawns.
3. Learn to take orders
Whether it is me asking you to kill reborn bosses first before the walker, or Duo telling you to touch, or Jawa telling you to sk, LISTEN. No one likes having a teammate that doesn't listen to orders, and there is no shame in taking orders. Everyone gives eachother orders all the time, regardless of who is better, but people will remember if you don't listen to orders, because that is a reflection on how much of a team player you are.
4. Stop maxing yourself
We don't like fighting 2 v 3 every spawn. /cg_drawtimer 1 and /kill for more playtime and less spec time.
5. Be a team player and stick with your team
Unless your name starts with Wufei Chang, stay and fight with your team. If you are running off hiding in random places we won't appreciate fighting 2 v 3, especially when you try to ambush them later and realize you aren't at Wufei's level and can't take an entire team on by surprise outnumbered. We hate dying for a long spawn, and realizing you weren't around and then wondering where you are.
6. Don't undermine your teammates' efforts
Whether it is standing on the jan's shields and letting the offense through, or getting in the way of saber throws when we are trying to hit an enemy, sometimes it is better to keep your distance, while still staying with the team for support.
7. Don't be selfish, everything you do is for the TEAM, not the scoreboard
If someone's getting a lot of kills in a particular area, don't run up and try to get kills away from them. Guard a different area. This may sound like selfishness and kill whoring, but it's not. Chink gets by most often because an entire team is vying for points, and not particularly paying attention to where he is. Siege is about winning, not about points. Having the most points on a losing team still makes you a loser.
8. Know what your responsibilities are as your current class
Each objective, each map, each team, each class has a generally understood job, that often times we take for granted that most of us know them already. This is also something that can be learned by paying attention to what we are doing in the first place. As Duo mentioned, sometimes responsibilities are relative, like getting the hangar turrets. This can also be applied to things like priority on being ammo'd by the jan. Always let the wookiee get the cans first.
9. We don't really give a fuck during a pug if you think something is effective that we don't, sorry to say
If we are trying to tell you that offense snowtrooper isn't going to do shit on the codes objective, again, LISTEN. Sure maybe it worked for you on Tempest, but if we are telling you it won't work on Impulse, we expect you to listen and switch off within the next couple of spawns.
10. Don't make ignorant comments or accusations
This doesn't really have anything to do with your gameplay specifically, but no one wants someone on their team who they highly suspect may be legally retarded. No, you weren't pulled into the lava cause of wallhax, and no, you are not the best thing to happen to the world since sliced bread.
11. Ventrilo is a plus
We will prefer someone who is currently in the vent server over someone who isn't. It's been a long time since we have had to type out lots of orders to many people (granted they made a bunch of us into really speedy typers back in the day, me especially ), but with the advent of binding a push to talk key and just saying our orders, we prefer the convenience now. And who doesn't want to hear Kera/Duo/Jawa raging in real time, it's quite funny actually.
12. Don't play every game to win - play every game to learn.
If you're more focused on getting better than you are on winning, you'll probably pick a few things up, even if you lose. If you're focused completely on winning, and getting frustrated when you get stopped or completely blown past, you probably won't notice WHY you're getting stopped or completely blown past. Notice what the opposing team is doing to really mess you up. Sometimes it's just flat out better play, better aim, better teamwork, etc., but sometimes they actually go about attacking or defending the objective in a different way than you do. If that's the case, remember it. You don't need to be spec to notice what the other team's doing differently.
13. Don't be afraid to ask for help
Ask a veteran for help. And before you do that, make a list of SPECIFIC things you want to improve upon, be it "Killing people with Dets better," or something as broad as, "What am I supposed to do as my preferred class on the Codes objective." But do NOT just say, "im bad make me good," we wouldn't know where to start.
If there is anything else I forgot feel free to help me out here, but I feel this post was very necessary. Much <3 to everyone.
