The lack of teamwork when playing sometimes?
Rules of thumb:
1. When a teammate kills 3-4 people with a nade, or there are consecutive kills in a hotspot.....MOVE UP! They do have to go back to start, do not pass go, and you have plenty of time to move forward!!!!
2. When you are in Switch, Kalt, or other similar and an MG is mowing you down, don't stand around and wait for them to come to you. Work with your team and communicate a sacrifice to get a shot on the MG.
3. Don't block doors at the spawn.
4. When you are in a team of 10-12 people and you see everyone starting to go one way (flash, Kalt, etc) communicate that you and a couple other people should maybe take the other route? Even if only for defense!!
5. When you are in a forward base, and the flags behind you are being capped, and you notice a lot of your team dying, DON"T PANIC!!! GRAB A FLAG NEAR BY SO YOU DON"T LOSE! Just because you are an MG and you are getting leet kills, doesn't mean you can't take out your handgun and go bust some caps to help your team. This is a team game. You could also throw down that bulky MG and pick up a submachine gun to protect a flag!
6. If you are sniping and you suck. Give it up. Bad snipers (negative k:d ratio) can lose the game for your team.
7. Go cheat somewhere else.
8. <add things ass you see fit - as my blood pressure goes up just thinking about some of this stuff>

peace.

ps. although I rant, I do enjoy playing with MOST of you. As I say hi and whats up to the people I recognize, and usually can work with them and their style of play. This is a great DoD community. I just wish people would chill with the cheating.

good post i think you covered most he bases on that especilly the crappy sniper
who does not help out the team . after all it is a team based game and if you wont workk like a team the team wont win.

I agree with you completely...the thing I find most disturbing is that it seems to be getting worse.

It's like nobody even listens anymore...it wasn't but a few days ago on Saints that the team I was on was getting taken over and over again and I kept telling everyone that they were flooding the right...of course nobody listened and went that way with me (I was trying to MG it out, but they were established so well all I could do was slow them down a couple of times) so we kept loosing.

It makes the game miserable for everyone and it also makes people angry and get upset with others.

I think the most important thing you can do is Listent to people who are talking on their mics when they ask for help/ammo/etc...and when they alert you to enemy locations. Also watch the chat area for important info. Not everyone has a mic, but everybody has a keyboard.

Just watch and listen and pay some attention to what your team is needing at any one time. Change classes if you have to, to take up an MG, even if you don't like it b/c your team may need one....that sort of thing.

anyway...my $0.02 your mileage may vary

I agree with everything except 6. These are public servers and people should be allowed to play the class they like even if they suck...

These are rules of thumb. Not Ville rules. I am not trying to tell people what to do.

There's really not much you can do. Whether it's inexperience or what some people seem to be locked at their first flag and unable to move up. It just comes with the territory.

Most public games of dod are just a bunch of people doing their own thing. Sometimes you can get some folks that will acutally communicate and accomplish something, but in my experience, it's pretty rare.

You'll never get flags without frags.

I think these are good rules of thumb and agree with others that there are limitations to what you can expect of people playing DoD on a pub. BUT if you're reading these forums, you're probably already more interested in winning than your "average" pubber, so take note of these things.

I would also say to strive for a balance between flags/frags... there are times when grabbing the middle flag on Flash does nothing, and there are times when it encourages your teammates to push up--learn the difference by observing what happens when that middle flag is grabbed. I find that if your team has been pinned down shy of that middle flag for over 5 minutes that just grabbing it at the expense of your life can be a real motivator. Also, note that instant-cap flags and cap-points (i.e. the middle of Ava or bridge on Saints) have very different values, and that grabbing a cap-point (if possible) is almost always worth dying for. You'll easily make up the K/D by killing people as they try to cap it back, if your team is doing halfway decently at all.

Nice post...

As for myself, I don't care if I get kill alot as long as we are winning, I love getting flag and objective (and as long as i'm even or higher in the K/D ratio).

Good rules of thumb, just don't expect to many non-regs to pay attention... They like their stats, and stats are still based on k:d ratio, I believe. Also remember that some people play solely to tick others off. Don't ask me why, just something I have noticed. And you think teamwork is necessary on DoD? I agree, it is, but just not to the extent of the mod I play Try getting these types of players on your team on an ns_ map... I understand these frustrations all to well. Good luck, keep fragging and having fun!

This is the most worthless post ever. If everyone played the game the same it would just be annoying. I don't want tips from someone else telling me how to "be better". I play fine and so do most others. Since when were games made to be so serious??? Oi. You can keep posting these threads about lack of skill or you can just play the game with CAL champions and n00bs as well. This is a public server ya know.
