Do any of you do this? 4 of us played several matches last night where the other team stayed in a large unit the whole time...we struggled vs it a few times.

Is this something we should try?

It works, but like anything else it has it's weaknesses. Your 1 Predator missile away from being spawned f***** by a Chopper Gunner or AC130.

I do like working with 1 or 2 others and sectioning off the map, but you just have to be cautious about getting too bunched together at times. I play a lot of TDM with Raspus, bones, miracle, and gibbs and I just try to stay close, but at a safe distance so you can help out spotting the enemy.

Sounds smart...I did really well with Resnor and Beastie last night when we all stayed in an "area" but not side by side...smoked karachi twice...

Yeah...we were doing pretty well last night. You don't want to be too close...like the 5 dudes I got with a Predator missile on Skidrow last night to get my Wargasm achievement!! Also, it's not so much runing together, as it is having a section locked down with a couple people.

Ya that's what I noticed...lock down a corner of the map...everybody has to come to you...worked so well on karachi..went 20+ kills and 8 or less kills on it both times...I usually terrible on that map...Loved it.

Worked on other maps too once I realized that's what you and domm were doing...helped me a alot.

I had this idea, I told you guys we should stick together but no one wanted to so I didn't propose it again. What we gotta do is go behind that one desk place with the computers on terminal and our whole team would camp there. Everyone would have to come to us. It's inside so we are immune to PM's. Lets try this tonight if we get Terminal.

Kippy, you claim to have all these ideas yet you kill approximately 30 percent of the people you encounter. It's not all about you. Fall back sometime and you'll be much more palatable.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, this is not a novel concept. Six guys sitting in the same room with a good vantage point is called camping. Six guys holding down a general area is called intelligent play, but often in TDM the other team won't bite and you won't even reach the score limit. Plus with the ****ed up spawn system in this game you will lose your area once people die and/or the Kips of the world start running through the long glass hallway on terminal with a bullhorn in their hand.

Funny, last night someone goes "kip, just sit tight behind us and shoot if you see anyone. don't run out in the middle"

Kipster runs right out into the middle and gets shot

Or if you're not going to focus on playing as a group --

One thing I like to do is check the map my positioning vs my other teammates. If you look at the map and see you have backup behind/left/right than the likelyhood of you getting a bullet to the back is less. This allows you to focus on a central direction on the map.

But when I look at the map and it's just me and tumbleweed then it's time to move away cautiously.

Example


---------------------ME---------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------Domm----------------------------
------------------------------------------Bones-------
-------------------------------------------------
-----Mofo--------------------------------------------
----------------------Resnor---------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

Since I'm in the lead (or depending how you look at it -- the rear of the team
I know I have some protection behind me. So I know I have some leeway from that direction.

I like it better if you split into groups of 3. 1 set of 3 guys are on the move, hunting around for kills, the other 3 are locking down a building, or area. That kind of dynamic really seems to work well, especially if somehow the hunters are able to drive the other team near the building that's guarded. then it's an ambush.

also, I dont seem to do well at all when I'm running around. i hate getting killed from the back or the side.
