What Are Strategies for Tactical Squads on Herp Derp Servers?

[Gotrol]

I'd just run that squad like I want to- with communication and teamwork, whatever happens with the rest of the server is not my problem. Some squads always follow in my footsteps, and then some more- and in the end it turns to be a good game.

So you're guy who hand delivers the LAT to the INS guys, I bet the CE kit not being usable by the enemy takes the fun out of using it? (In AAS I agree the LAT is a powerful tool in the rights hands).

No, I don't use it on ins by my self, but on AAS. That's allso where the Gren comes in

I often perform a tactical rage quit or disconnect and find a better server.

This ^^

Every server is "herp derp" Teams that seem good are just exploiting game mechanics or stacked or in most cases both...the "bad" teams are playing the game how intended but that is no longer optimal to win a round.

Tacticool squads are going the way of the dinosaur as you no longer need anybody else backing you up to win a round.

Personally its not my style but I could Destroy a tactical high teamwork squad just me and a autosniper kit ,knife your FOB and hey presto your spawning in main with likely no transport to get back where you need to be for another 10mins+.

How do you perform at your best when you absolutely can not rely on (and possibly need to avoid) your team mates? What are strategies that will maximize your efficiency and lifespan when battling in the most chaotic of tactical cluster-fucks? I would very much like to know.

I would just quit the game. There are better games for that kind of gameplay, like left for dead and other shooters. If I cant have coordinated tactical gameplay on an tactical teamplay oriented shooter game, what exactly is left?

Thats not the experience I made playing the game.

Yeah well the 2 most populated servers at the times I play are the worst servers in PR history.What I said is the norm on those servers.

[Total_Overkill]

On servers like Hardcore where you can't rely on the rest of the team its imperative you have a contingency plan for when things to wrong, IE a flag gets lost behind you since noone is defending it, thus you need transport.

On HOG and Hardcore I'll mention to my squad that we can't rely on any other players and must be as independent as possible, including logistics and FOB building.

Ooooh, so you actively propagate the problem?
Well played sir, well played

Nope, the problem is the lack of quality players as opposed to lack of people willing. The childish behavior, repeated administration issues and incompetent gameplay are catalysts for why I do it. About a month ago, Amish - a H head admin - sent me this.

*snip*

Following that I played a single game leading infantry on Karbala. =]H[=RedCommandNZ was C4'ing the Insurgent main with the only CE kit in play and clearly had no interest of using it in conjunction with my squad on the cache, and the other Hardcore players weren't on Mumble or just weren't replying on H Ventrilo. I won't waste my time improving a server that fails to seek self-improvement in the first place.

To those concerned I am using Hardcore as an example. This post is not meant to be off topic, but straight to the point in identifying the OP's definition of 'herp derp servers'.

Private messages are private. Do not post them in public. Also, infraction given for insulting other members/flaming.

Oh dear, I think you should emigrate back to the Old World Dtacs and play with some of us Europeans for a bit.

We have consistently terrible rounds, but at least we have the self-awareness to admit it and pretend to fix it XD

[saXoni]

Dtacs, that post is priceless!

[Arnoldio]

Its true, H is the worst choice of those servers you can actually play on. Someone is gotta be the last...

[saXoni]

And here we go again. The discussion about H. Let's go!

[Vista]

And here we go again. The discussion about H. Let's go!

Tactical lock incoming, its all over!!!

Edit: Now, this thread has no purpose, its juat server ranting...

[saXoni]

But I like server-ranting...

[Asystole]

And here we go again. The discussion about H. Let's go!

Of course the discussion goes to H when talking about bad teamplay. It's natural. I would love to go into details, but it'd derail this topic even more.

I know it makes sense, but as you said yourself, it's off topic.

Dtacs: Have you posted your experiences at the server-feedback section?

Its like a tetraplegic asking if you can help him achieve under 10 seconds on 100m. Its pretty much hopeless.

[Spec]

Guys, seriously? You're all aware that discussion of that specific server is not wanted in here.

Edit: Actually, locking. I'd have to delete half the thread otherwise. Also, infraction given. Even though the infraction was only given to dtacs, you all know that it wasn't his post that got the thread locked, it was everyone jumping on the bandwagon or commenting on how the discussion went OT instead of returning to topic. Use the report post feature if you feel things are getting out of hand instead of supporting that development by posting another off-topic reply.
