Bailing Mechanism Failure

I'm not suggesting that everyone be a part of a team. There are plenty of gameplay styles that support playing solo. What I'm saying is that if you want to be solo, you should expect to sacrifice some of your viability. Most PlanetSide players do not want to see one-man armies.

Want to solo?
- Play a Cloaker
- Play a Sniper
- Pick a single-person vehicle

Hell, you can even play a solo infantry if thats what you want, but then you need to accept that you're going to have some limitations. Whether that limitation comes in the form of either asking someone else for a ride, or having to settle for a slower mode of transportation, or even something else.

PlanetSide is designed as a teamwork-based game. There is a reason you don't see PS-style squads, and platoons, and outfits in BF2 and COD. Don't expect to fill every role all by yourself. If that's not something you can accept, then I don't know what else to tell you, maybe you'd just be happier in one of those other games.

In PlanetSide, a coordinated whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Two players supporting each other are more effective than two players pretending they're super soldiers.
