Coordinating with other squads
Posted: 2009-04-20 08:11
I would like to start a thread in which we discuss the importance to squad to squad communication, aswell as that two squads should stay togheter, and just general AAS math.
Communication
Ok, first of, i think that all servers that are out there, should have a TS server(if they dont have one) and release the IP / PW of that server, even if its private. To encourage Teamplay, and cooperation.
Second, i think all players of PR should install and configure Mumble, and should be on that, if TS is to much for you.
SL should choose either TS or Mumble or both (Some people even stay on Mumble, TS and Vent).
Squad coordination
Squad coordination in PR is really important, i mean PR really did revelutionise the BF2 "agenda" of only lonewolfers, or retarded squads, and turned them into smart squads, with fireteams etc. But now, the time of larger squads has arrived, the need for bigger units are requierd, and they occure more often. I think we should all embrace aswell as act upon it as an obligation to install these communication programs to increase the joy of this game, not only for ourselfs, but for the entire team.
If you are a squadleader you should feel obliged to contact other squads of your team, and organize yourself.
Who hasnt seen squads, wander on their own? Well i say NO MORE! I want to be able to join a server, and instantly when i wish, talk to other squads.
APCs are supposed to stick togheter with infantry, so instead of teamchat, use TS or mumble. Problem solved. Same with 2 squads moving togheter, or stuff like that.
But from now on, i think we should all agree, that we will never attack an objective alone as a squad. No more squadlonewolfing
AAS
Ive played a good deal of AAS rounds, and nothing makes me cry more than squads, of tank on kashan, or squads of infantry or snipers on muttrah, going in to the uncaps of the map, or just into nowhere, doing no good. I mean you can say, its a strategic decision to move there, and split and conquer... BUT NO! thats just rubbish, idiocracy..
If you want to help your team, stick with your team, and solve their problems with them. Infantry in Kashan loves to hear their own tanks outside the bunker complex blasting enemy infantry to smitherins, and covering them from enemy tanks. Instead of going away into X-ray 9 or something... You all get the point.
Teams are made to work togheter, otherwise you wouldnt be a team, you would be 2 different enteties fighting towards a common objective without helping eachother, and i have never read anything like that in any PR manual. We are a team, and without your team you are nothing, if you are split up from your team you must regroup with them.
This is why communication is key. If i cant hear what the other squads are doing, and i cant see them doing anything about a problem, like an enemy tank or something, i will try to solve that problem on my own.
And i firmly belive, that communication, on mumble or TS, will drasticly increase the teamplay, and satisfaction from this game. Noone will ever go wanting, noone will be frustrated at squads going on their own, cause we can communicate.
Thats all i have to say.
Little side note, if you see a squads going on their own, not on mumble or TS, then if the squads is at 5/6, join them and talk to them... thats what i do sometimes, makes alot more difference than just speaking among yourselfs... "ah that squads sucks"
