Teamwork tips

[Zantheus]

BTW, anyone ever see the episode of "Band of Brothers" where the new company commander basically runs straight through the middle of a firefight down a street, twice, to get information to and from his other squad? Running across bloc is kinda like that.

Yes that was Lt. Speers of D Company right before he was assigned to Easy Company...and what is most impressive is that it actually happened... BoB is one of my fav series

Smoke on any map can be good and bad. Yesterday on BLOC, my team administered the worst beat down I've ever seen on this map. OUR team was mostly LMG and SMG kits and the other had probably 50% snipers and we had the enemy team backed up all the way to the swimming pool area for the entire round. Rand, you saw it, lol, and they never did start spawning on the other end of the map. It was pure punishment and had I been on the receiving end of it, it would have been enough to make me leave the server about half way through the round. I actually started feeling sorry for them. I think the round after that, the server was not nearly as full as it was going into that round. I believe there were 42/50 players online the next round. It was a shameful event for the opfor.

I, unfortunately, was on the receiving end of that beat down. It was horrible. We had groups of about 7 guys just standing still trying to fire at you guys, but not doing anything, and we had too many snipers. The worst part was I had my G3 in my assault kit instead of my M16, so I couldn't do jack either.

Tell me if I am wrong, but if some people on the attacking team are still
camping at their original spawn, the enemy can't spawn there?
Looks like you just need 1 person there to keep it secured.

I have on occassion laid back, and we never flip flopped when I did that.
(Mainly doing admin things, like watching the chat messages for problems)

That's why when we make it outside on Vacant, we ask people NOT to
push the enemy out of the inside like a pumpkin seed once we have
the outside secured.

If no-one wants to charge with me, I'll rush, find a safe place for a breather,
and look at the map. Funny, I often see the ENTIRE team clustered together
like they are throwing a Kegger party.

Hey, all that means is that I KNOW where the front lines are for the other side, and if I can sneak through, I can have some fun. If 2-3 come with me,
we ALL can have a lot of fun.

If I am on a team in movement - I stop and squat and cover doors all the time, when they blow by me, I run until I am up front again, and then cover an opening.

If I fire a shot- people tend to do the right thing.

It's kind of funny how when one person is obviously doing run, cover, run, the rest fall into the same rhythm until we reach a front line.

Regarding Smoke.

Sorry fellas- if I have it and you arent stopping the sniper campers from hitting me, I will cover the street with a can, die on purpose and dump another just so we can break their line and take a building.

The extra smoke from death to spawn to smoke is pretty thick.
We've created some thick Tule fog when more than 3 of us were doing this.

Regarding the .50 Cal

You take that thing knowing you will die. I get on it when we are getting Viet Cong size rushes from the enemy and I happen to be next to it-

My style is sweep left, sweep right, drop to the ground on my chest.
Click the use button and repeat.

I call it the .50 Caliber Windshield Wiper.

LAST PART THAT WAS FORGOTTEN IN THE ORIGINAL POST

If you have an LMG, PLEASE shoot at the helicopters.
Your bullets are max impact and damage compared to all other weapons save the Noob Toob (two noob shots down helicopters) and the RPG (two RPGS down the helicopter).

Besides that, SMGs as a whole average only 60-80 bullets unless you bandolier (I'm guessing- I know the MP5 standard is 60), and some of the other weapons are really junky at long range. So with that in mind, LMG is the team portable Anti-Aircraft Gun (PAAG for short :P)

I forget exactly (read the book a while ago) but, in the book it was quite intense.
