Eliminate anything that will threaten your income, including other players, scavengers, etc.
2. Travel to the end of the map to attack the opponent's deploying scavengers 1500m away.
Eliminate the enemy's sources of income and diminish their ability to fight back. Good pool work is a critical aspect of any strat game.
3. Rush the enemy recycler after above steps are complete and if invulnerability is not enabled.
If enemy base doesnt have sufficient defense, then attacking it to slow down their teching ability is usually a good choice, so long as you can get out alive and not drop them loose scrap to rebuild.
4. Be a complete high-and-mighty about your purported BZ2 strategy skills.
TOTALLY OPTIONAL!
5. Ignore the fact that you've only deployed your recycler.
If you want to..
6. Flame other players who disagree with your tactics.
Crying about things being unfair is not a good way to gain respect. God forbid players should personally attack anything on the field.
If you don't being 'owned' right away, go play MPI. Its an easier game mode with more adjustable difficulty than strat games which usually have an extreme level of difficulty. Plenty of games with players on the higher end of the skill spectrum have all of the above, and still end up with assault units and turrets being employed to hold ground and seige the base. Think of BZ2 strat like more 'squad oriented combat' with some RTS elements than a true RTS game.
Thanks to players like you, Zero Angel, I've had to start every strat match with 5 minutes' recycler invulnerability and remove all vehicles, only allowing for pilots to spawn at the beginning. Build your base, THEN attack the enemy base. That's what an FPS+RTS is all about, isn't it? Otherwise it's no fun, isn't it? You might think I'm trolling or griefing, but I'm only telling the truth, and I believe many other seasoned players agree with me. So yes. Put this in your APC and transport it.
I don't think you're trolling, I just think you're bitter about being utterly decimated by players far above your skill level. You can host games with 'noob rules' if you want, to make the start a little more relaxed, its just that most strat players participate in faster-paced games. Some stick through it and
get better , and others demand that people change the game to suit their preferences, because their egos mistake that they're not yet good at the game as a personal failure -- and they cry about it on forums that its based on unfairness. It's not. Improve your dogfighting, commanding, and field tactics. In other words, L2P.
