201 woot!

[ubercado]

We could try to organize it into 4 two man teams...

That way everyone has back up in situations...

For example...

On coag:

Two players stay on D

Sniper and one other who is good at sniping go together for protection...

Two people run left side or rush in warthog

Two people run right side to harass their sniper and to back up the team on the left...

At the begining team left gets in warthog and rushes for their base

Two defenders...one in ghost, one in banshee...rush for rockets and bring back to base

Sniper and support get gun and ammo and setup by teleport or left side ridge...

Right side team runs headlong into base to support warthog...

Questions, comments, taking numbers to get in line to hit me in back of the head?

I like Ubercado's idea... I think teams would work well.

I still think that the most effective way that we can be adaptive and reactive to what ever situation comes at us would to just make sure you have a buddy when you leave the base you two can decide where you are most needed from that point, or ask the sniper who has eyes on most of the field. That way we use our jack of all trades abillities but add in a bit of beekeeper teamwork.

I think Vector's idea is good as a first step, to end the suicidal 1-man strike! When I play coag BTB, it's usually a tie. But when we lose, it's clear the other team attacks in blocks, instead of suicidal runs.

I like Ubercado's idea, in the sense that is on the right path. That's a set plan, like I think it could help us. For 1 flag/assault games, it works fine to have 4 teams of 2. But for multiple flag/neutral assaults, I think it's better to divide in attack and defense, 2 teams. Have some set plans to try and adjust accordingly.

What I think is best is to have both. Let's say we try our Plan A and it fails pretty bad! So, everybody that's attacking gets killed. So whoever respawn first, wait for the others. When everybody is back, we can adjust to another plan, based on the weapons we have at the moment. Maybe we conclude it's not even worth to try to attack with the weapons we have, so we concentrate on getting back some weapons before going to attack again.

I think that one of the biggest things that will help us, OK, wait, two things:


a) If someone freaking asks a question, and you can give the answer, or you can provide feedback that shows you are listening, even if you don't have a particularly helpful answer, DO SO

b) LISTEN to each other, and DO NOT TALK OVER EACH OTHER. The other night? I was ready to start lacing my bullets with Ritalin, just so I could pop you all in the head. Robo says he liked the training session, but I have no idea how, as there were always 17 people AT A MINIMUM, talking all at the same time.

THEN, maybe, you can all start making plans and stuff.

Because plans don't work if you don't freaking listen to each other, or give each other respect when someone else is talking.

I agree with Krystyn. I am generally quiet while we play but I do listen to what everyone is saying, and react or respond to it. Nothing frustrates me more (except cheating) during the game than not being able to communicate with teammates because they are talking about irrelevant stuff during the game.

Communication is KEY, but it has to be RELEVANT Communication. All is takes it one person talking continuously for the whole team NOT to be able to communicate. I have muted some people in the past if they talk continously but that does not help the rest of the team because they still hear them talking.

I believe that as far as strategy you can't go wrong with having 2 people buddy up and stick together (unless of course it's team rockets, in which case everyone needs to spread out and stay away from each other).
