How can you say you respect top players here and then turn around and say they cheated? Are you running for president (sorry wrong forum). Top T2 teams faded out because the game is old and boring as hell.
One thing I learned a long time ago, there are two types of teamwork that are often confused but can over lap. When I was starting out and my team was full of n00bs, teamwork ment we practiced hard our roles, how to handle stand offs, where deployables went, etc.. When we got better and very seasoned, most of that basic stuff wsa just taken for granted. If you played T1 for 2 years, it is assumed you know the cap routes, where to place deployables, etc.. The second type of teamwork comes from experience. This usually includes tossing repair kits to the HoF, dropping mines before you go on a cap run, where your cappers are coming back from so you know how to escort.
T:V will have more of the second type of teamwork for most of the vets here. Certain things will be assumed, such as where to place your remote invs, etc.. But you will need to be able to handle standoffs, learn when and who to pass your flag too, when to change to HO/MO. There still will be the basic strats, ie you are in charge of keeping the sensor up, you are a static MD and use a buckler, you are main escort LD, etc..
You will still need someone to distract LD/MD, you will still need someone to clear turrets, HoF/HD, some will need to deal with vehicles. At first I felt a lot like you. I liked a command screen, and sensor jammer packs, way points, etc.. But I opened my mind and got into the flow of it, I am enjoying learning what packs to use and when. What load outs to use. In T1/T2 there were set load outs you had all the time. I mean really I used 3-5 load outs for 6 years, but now I have to rethink all of that.
