I usually play Onslaught on Omnipotent or theutpub. I use the name 

*000000*

(Accept no substitutes :)

I'm an above average player although I usually don't go just for kills.
Sometimes I'll finish building a second critical node while others are
attacking the core or often do kamikaze attacks. Makes me mad to see
players standing around waiting for a shiny tank when they can be
attacking on foot. And in Onslaught every second counts !

I understand that partly. Apparently Verizon has a pretty good "route" as
about the only problem I ever see is a server crash.
