So, we had 'trainer training' last night....

It wasn't really so much training, as an opprotunity for a bunch of players to run around 'trying' not to shoot each other while angelo yelled at them as if he were their mother... (I hate that angelo guy...)

It was super productive.

But it did reveal some issues that I hope to resolve for the trainee session tonight.

First off the game will be invite only. We had a ton of people jump into our game and randomly shoot people while we tried to explain we where just doing a level walkthrough...

Second, everyone that is a trainee will be red, and I will choose some other color (probably yellow) so that everyone knows who exactly they
should be following.

Third, DO NOT FIRE UNLESS I SAY SO. Last night was a ton of fun, but we didn't get anything accomplished because every five minutes some one was firing their weapon, or beating someone over the head. Last night it wasn't a big deal to me because I could tell that the majority of the players knew what they were doing. Tonight on the other hand it will be a big deal to me. If someone is continually messing around and is not allowing those that really want to learn something to learn I will boot you. No questions asked, no apologies made. Feel free to join me in games after the training, but during the training I am there for those that are interested in getting better... (ok, off the soapbox...)

Those are my main concerns that are coming to mind right now. If you were there last night and can think of any other potential issues please post away.

Side note: I had an awesome time with you guys last night, please don't get the idea that I am dissapointed in how last night went because I'm not. I wasn't trying to 'help' you guys as much as I was trying to assess what you all knew, which is exactly what I got to see. So thanks, and I look forward to our next 'trainer training' session....

My apologies for coming right in at first and sniping you guys on ivory tower...I didn't realize you had started the training session already since I was early . I agree with hopefully tonight we can keep it a little more informative and such. You know, taking your fingers off the triggers really helps eliminate those "accidental" firings . And one thing for everyone to remember; always make sure your mike isn't muted before you try to say something...that seems to help out immensely . Can we maybe go over some capture the flag and assault strategies if we get the time tonight? I know that's one area where I'm completely worthless right now.

In case you didn't know, you can change the settings so that the ppl can only join your game if they're invited

I agree about working on the CTF and assault modes. I think some people need help on the weapon finding and learning the map, but even the best of us need help on CTF and assault strategies. I played a few clan matches (SPDR Ninjas) after the training last night and we won the first 2, but our assault was a draw. We just kept sending the bomb back and forth to eachothers bases. Maybe we could work on possible strategies and ways to get the bomb in to score quicker.

you were doing training last night angelo? all I remember was loads of ctf and bomb runs, and we were outnumbered and you loved the challenge but maybe that was later... I didn't join until around 11pm ET I think... but it was a fun night for sure

28 pages is a lot to read through. What do I have to do to play with some beekeepers. Or join the clan even? Or check out the training session?

I'm excited for training tonight. I got to play some maps yesterday that I've never been on and I was getting my butt kicked. It was great though. Learn or die!(reminds me of that video game for NES, Skate or Die..the little skull starts chasing you around trying to kill you.)

I really liked the article that IGN wrote about the play day they had with Bungie. That's the kind of teamwork I envision happening. Leave no hole uncovered, show no mercy! Kill or be killed!
