I think I can answer some of your problems, it wont be very organized and will probably jump back and forth between topics and contains MY OWN opinions, so bear with me. For starters one reason there is a small player base is because the servers are ddosed on a regular basis and there seems to be only 1 or 2 servers that can handle it and if they go down the majority of the players will leave and might not be back for a day or so. Why is this happening? I have no idea, probably just some loser with no life that gets his/her kicks from ruining other people's fun. As for the maps yes Field along with Walls and Under are some of the most played, as for why maybe because other maps like Eyes tend to require more teamwork to win, which is severely lacking in public matches. I don't see Mesa and Goldrush played that often, maybe there being played more recently idk, I don't play public games that often, as for some other maps such as Tomb, GrassyKnoll and Crash Site, their kinda broken, one heavily one sided and not too fun. Now most of your complaints were against the marathon servers and the long game times, for one there will always be marathon servers, their just the better choice. Why? I'll explain later. Its up to the server owners which type of server they want to host, if you think marathon should be removed take it up with them. The long game times are not the Server's fault, its the players fault, this is a heavily teamwork based game and if you do nothing to help the team then of course they will last forever, as you said sitting in front of a base farming points might not be fun for you at least but others love that, me included, and in an AOW server that can win the game but Marathon I think encourages more teamwork. There has been times where I have joined a marathon game that has been going for 2 or 3+ hours because there has been no teamwork, immediately started organizing an attack and within 15min we've won or were on the verge of victory, and even on those long games just 1 person successfully sneaking in can win the game. On teamwork, as I said this is a teamwork based game, yes a single player can sometimes carry a team but for the most part good teamwork will always win, which is why I prefer Marathon servers as it requires a base destruction to win which requires teamwork, not simply a few artys or mrls farming points for 30min which anyone can do, it makes points useless, I've won games where my team was 20k+ points behind because people finally got their heads out of their ass and started working together. You mentioned helping the new players, and yes that would be nice if more of that happened as they wont know some of the strategies or how to properly mine a base, but its not that easy as I'm honestly convinced that half the people that play are incapable of reading, there have been many times were me and others have tried to help the new players, show them what to do and not to do, but they just don't seem to listen, they don't respond to a building being under attack, don't join in for an attack or if they do and it fails they give up. All of this leads to no teamwork, which leads to people giving up or quitting which leads to repetitive game play and the same boring maps. One other thing I would like to add about AOW vs Marathon, I think others will agree with me when losing in a timed game without a scratch on your buildings simply because the other team was better at farming points is bs, especially considering how one-sided the maps can be, its great to be the underdog and have a comeback because you had good teamwork. Now about advertising I think the devs are waiting until the game is complete before doing any major advertising, you have to remember that this game is still in BETA and there is still a lot that will be added to the game (looking forward to that 5.2 update!) some of which will be more maps, some I've helped test and cant wait to play, new features such as veterancy and more game modes. I know I've talked a lot about teamwork and how lacking it is, if you and your friends want a good game with people actually working as a team try joining our weekly PUG's, information here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=75419 , they can be really fun with some of the weird strategies we come up with and as teamspeak is required to join (don't have to have a mic, just listen) there's usually great teamwork and the games are pretty much always being recorded by at least one person (me being one of those). If I've been unclear about something I have said please say so and I will try to explain further, I could be totally wrong about this, but this was just my opinion.

Wow those look nice, would look amazing painted, please stop teasing us and take our money already

Will the TS vehicles have veterancy too?

"Holy shit" - TONY-STARK

Having repair guns lock onto vehicles would be great, and maybe having the adv repair gun's beam look like or similar to its alt fire would be nice, just so we could have a visual difference between the 2 beams.

Seriously what is this hidden Gem? Left click for energy ball things, right for lazor beam. Why is this here and can it somehow be implemented into the game? (even though its not C&C unless its something I'm unaware of) Can be done in a normal skirmish.

If you think that's a lot of defences then you have not seen Handepsilon's coastal maps lol and it is pretty much an upgraded Walls with more options, could be interesting.

TotalBiscuit has covered the game before and I think is willing to cover it again but the Devs are waiting till the game is in a more polished state before asking him back from what I've heard.

First match uploaded, working on the rest.

Don't think they would change as we use team speak for other games as well and you don't have to have a mic to join, many play without one team speak is so you can hear everyone who does so we can be better organized.

Actually jumping on an enemy's head does a massive 2 damage, we also just found that out, and I think I have found the real reason why I can kill people by touching them its all because

Gunner vs LCG who will triumph in this epic battle of fates.

Don't understand how this is happening.

Two thumps up!

Great map, cant wait to play it in a PUG, even if there is a few things that need fixing (as you already know).

Hey Ruud, just wanted to let you know that you have the older versions of fort and beachhead on your server. Thanks.

Not exactly sure what happened here, this happened to Gliven during the last PUG, asked him about it and he had no idea what it was. occurs at 8:49.

Can also get a beacon on the WF and PP, can do this on most maps without air vehicles but that's not really the maps fault its the one team hampering and the one placing a beacon were they know its against the rules, they can also just as easily place a beacon and cover it with a friendly apc and there's not much you can do about it just kick/report them.

UP

Some guy called MAX LOL It's not Max, I don't even know how that guy managed to install the game, also they know who is doing it and have even reported him to the police but of course they did nothing.

Probably because everyone is playing Overwatch

lol I know how ya feel I've never seen it rain so much this past year, last summer part of my town flooded and will again if this keeps up, doesn't help much that my town is in a hole and everything north of us drains into it but I guess it beats the drought we had, our lake was around %18 full. Best of luck from central Texas.

Never before seen on video, this moment will forever be remembered by future generations.
