Teamwork........the new failure

I  have always believed in teamwork to get the job done, no matter what the job was.

Just recently my son got me into this addictive online game, which unbelievably, requires teamwork to win.

When I started playing it you start with a base model and you have to play to get research points to modify or buy and upgrade.  Mind you it is a little chaotic in the beginning getting used to how to play and what to do, but after you play you should grasp the basics of the game.

So keeping this in mind, as you upgrade and get better equipment, the basics of the game have not changed your equipment has, and thus you need to change your game play to suit your current equipment.

Therefore if you are fully upgraded you cannot play as if you have a base model, and vise versa if you have a base model you cannot play as if you are fully upgraded.

But i digress.......

The whole point of the game is to get from your side to the other side without dying.  This takes a lot of team effort, to do this successfully one has to support each other so no one dies on the way, but apparently teamwork is not taught or learned or whatever any more.

As it is now, it is " ME ME ME ME, F! EVERYONE ELSE", which is the whole problem in the game.

You all want it that way go buy yourself a nice First Person Shooter  (FPS), if you want to work as a rag tag team stay, and I'll be more that happy to keep playing.
