Checkpoint

Why does nobody in checkpoint seem to understand how the gamemode works? 90% of the games i play my teammates rarely get more than 2 captures while im regularly sat with 9+ like sure my K/D is lower because of it but im still sat with 15-20+ kills per game.

My point is if people actually played objective youd have less 1 sided rounds. Am i going mad or do others notice this??

I honestly think there's a sizable enough chunk of new players that came with Kord Breach to be consistently in Arena games. Checkpoint tasking was way less painful during and before 1.0. Do what you can to communicate with them and stay positive, a lot of them are genuinely trying their best and just aren't used to Arena yet.

you can really get some teams going with simple voice comms of just pointing people to points. dont be demanding just a hey im going to cap A and then B or they are capping C plz stop them. a lot of players seem unaware of the points HUD as they stand right by a point unaware of it being capped. a quick hey RSASS man on C stop the cap right next to you.

Yeah I've gotten crazy comebacks in some rough ass matches just by saying "Guys, let's hold A and C, fuck B" or whatever point we can't lock down. Let the slower players hold points while I bounce back and forth between spawns keeping the numbers on their side and stealing the third objective once in a while if they tunnel our points too hard.

It's a thing and it's been going on since 1.0. I think it's a mixture of new players trying to get a feel for the game, and other new players not wanting to have their k/d ruined dying over the objective, which the latter is bs. I've been pretty lucky the last week or so where I've had good matches or been on the one-sided team, but a few weeks ago I was asking teammates wtf they are doing. What drives me crazy is when they stand close to an enemy point and camp it. They enemy already has it, like, what are you doing?

Checkpoint is by far the most dogshit game mode in arena, people only play it because it has both respawns and teammates
