Thanks for showing me the "squad setup", Thornes. That was helpful. I think we all need to try to play on the same team, very soon. Tonight was a bit frustrating for us MP newbs.

[Thornes70]

It just takes a bit. Once you've figured out the basics, the rest just kind of falls into place... Then you'll start figuring out strategies - like using the squad commands, always jump into a vehicle with someone else, how to best use the roles, etc.

On the surface, the game just looks like a typical shooter, but there's a lot more to it if you use the roles and teamwork.

When you have four squads on one side, it's pretty intense. Best thing to do is try taking over an entire server, get everyone on one side... Nothing like whomping on a bunch of lonewolves! LOL

[ZoomZoom71]

I think what I need (and maybe others, too) is somewhat of a tutorial on how we're all gonna get connected when we actually play. Are we just gonna sit around at the menu and wait for the Squad Leader to join a server and send invites to everyone? If so, I really hope we can coordinate time-wise, otherwise, people are gonna get tired of waiting around not doing anything. If there was a pregame lobby, we could at least chitchat while we're waiting for everyone to join up.

Honestly, it was a little tiring last night, having the same thing happen to us, regardless of what path we took to reach an objective: getting mowed down, regardless of how many bullets you pump into someone.

[Thornes70]

The lack of a pregame lobby does suck, but if you're hosting - having the player limit set sort of takes care of that; instead of just sitting there, you can be playing until the last man shows up and the game will automatically start up. You can still create (and lock) squads & all that.

As for coordinating - that's what this place is for, right?

You also really need more than a 4v4 game; the more the better.

Oh, I forgot to mention that if you wanted to do the team thing - in preparation for that game on the 15th, we'll be trying to get a practice in, with as many interested people tonight. Basics like your squad set up and a few simple tactics to see how we all work, stuff like that.

Hey I'm good for the 15th. If my brother still has the game rented he's down to play as well. I'm still trying to get his broke ass to buy it. Just let me know the time.

[Thornes70]

Okay, sounds good, zombie...

We need a couple people from PGL to step up and volunteer to be the PGL squad leaders. Since there's three sites pulling together, it'll be easier to organize crap if there's a couple of squad leaders with the same people in each squad.

The 15th is good for me. i got confimation today that I won't be working. I hope it's going to be later in the evening like 8-9pm EST. Also, if anyone wants to hook up on Monday or Tuesday night around 9ish for some practice, i will be on. I don't know the first thing about the squad options as I have really only been able to play the game offline.

[Thornes70]

Is even later than that cool? Once we get some squad leaders, they'll set up some stuff with the rest of the people and maybe we can set it up by timezone or whatever.

[Spzombie]

I'm pretty much good for the whole day sat and into sun morning. I'll be a SL if you need one. I know the set up pretty good me and my bro have been practicing on the GP for a bit now. I still have to yell at him alot though...

[Thornes70]

Well, you're the only one who's stepped up so far, so... YOU da man!

Nobody showed up for a practice tonight, so whip these foolios into shape! The other site's SL is SpartanZypher, who is also a member here btw.

I'm usually up playing till 2-3 AM EST so any time is good. If for some reason I am playing something else, send me an invite and I will join.

[mrsako]

im quite interested in this, though I just got the game yesterday hah. I'm most available on weekends at around 11pm to 4am (eastern time). Not sure how that floats well with everyone elses schedule.

[Thornes70]

That pretty much sets it up well with me (PST). Get together with Zombie - he's the SL for the PGL folks - and we'll get some time in before the 15th.

[Spzombie]

Ok listen up if this is your first time under my command listen harder. J/K I’m off on Tue and Wed so if you want to get some practice in just let me know. Also if you haven’t all ready done so set your mini map to not rotate so I can give out general directions such as north/south. Also let me know what weapons you’re good at so we can form a rounded fire team. I'll need a heavy gunner, 2 assault, and an anti vehicle guy. Depending on the map I'll switch out AV guy for sniper. Basic S.O.P is take the point I assign and defend until the line moves up, then assault after that. I'm on Mountain Time so I'm like 3 hours ahead of you guys. Ok well that pretty much sums that up. Looking forward to kickin some ass.

[mrsako]

I think id do good for the AV guy (and sniper at other times), those are usually the 2 classes I play as.

Ok you’re our AV guy then.

Fire Team Alpha:
A: /Groundsupport or drone.
AV: DannyStrong/Airstrike.
LMG: /Emp tech.
SL: Me with Assault gun/either ground support or drone.

I can switch between the heavy if needed I don't mind either.


Hey Thornes are we having more than 4 on the PGL side of things? If so we'll need another SL for that team as well, unless you’re doing it. I need more info LOL!
