In an attempt to curb my rampant to desire to murder something with a blunt object:
When the objective is to defend a location, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP STANDING OUTSIDE WHILE THE ENEMIES ARE CAPTURING IT.
You are not the only one with this problem. It bothers me but my buddy I play with loses his head over when people continuously just shoot enemies from outside without making any progress towards the point.
I know what you mean, it can be frustrating to say the least. If even half the team got together and flooded the bottom level with grenades, then rushed in it would probably be enough but this never seems to happen. I rarely see people use grenades on these objective types.
splinter nades are your best friend on these parts!
I don’t understand why people do this? It’s worse when you are dead and you are stuck watching 3 people stood outside shooting as the base gets captured. The objective is to defend the base, not kill as many things as you can outside while the base gets captured!
Just run and get in a corner or something! I don’t care if you only live for 10 seconds. That’s 10 seconds extra the team has to push the enemies back. I don’t care if you die in the base and we lose. At least you was in the base trying to defend it and not stood outside shooting a crawler that is running into a wall!
Please note if you are someone who does this. Next time you are standing outside the base and it is near to capture, please just run and stop the capture. Your sacrifice could be the difference between a win or lose.

I chuckled. Are you serious? They don’t even spawn anywhere, and the only way to get them is by killing promeths or having the armor mod. Don’t have that req(thanks, and -Yoink- you again, req system), so what am I supposed to do? Frags are pretty useless against enemies that simply teleport or dive away from them.
Doesn’t help when Prometeans can spawn INSIDE the objective, rendering anything useless.
Every time I read a thread like this, I think of Omaha beach on D-Day. They HAD to rush the beach to be able to get a foothold. Yes, lots of soldiers died, we all know that, I myself value the sacrifice they made. But they reached their objective to CAPTURE THE BEACH so that they could move on. In our SIMULATION battle, we have to get in the middle of the fight. I have mentioned this before in other threads. Once we are in there, our chances of winning are higher because we are now repelling the enemy. I know this works because I’m one of those guys that keeps dying trying to rush the garage or whatever, this gives the guy behind me a better chance of reaching our gold. And when I do get in, I’m joining others that have made it. And think about this. When you die and come back to the fight, the enemy is in a cross fire between the guys inside and us. We only have to remember that newly spawned enemies will be coming from behind. Just saying.

No they aren’t. Splinter grenades are pathetic in firefight. A lot of enemies can just walk through them due to their giant amount of health. I’ve thrown one at a sword elite’s feet and didn’t even pop it’s shields.
Relating to the topic, what if it’s an early round and I’m in a scout hog mowing down enemies before they can even get inside? Obviously you shouldn’t have all 8 people in scout hogs but I think it’s a lot more productive than sniping from afar.
I get why it’s frustrating, but that long respawn timer stops players from rushing in to help out w/those Defend objectives. There’s another thread that mentioned, for the Garage just have one guy hide on the 2nd floor and NOT shoot. The AI will usually ignore them and it’ll give teammates time to run to the base and clear it out.
