MRS Training with TR

[willofgod]

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed the training last night! I feel better about joining you on Sunday now, especially as we all seem to get on alright!

I must remember to keep an eye on the bloody compass though. I headed off two or three times to defend the radio and the bloody thing had moved to the other side of the map. Its disconcerting seeing everyone running in the oppsite direction. I'm only used to looking at the compass to see if any friendlies are near if I hear foot steps.

Might be an idea to ban Villain (aka Uses-Nades-Asks-Questions-Later... with Wolves) from using nades too!

One thing I have to admit that I'm not sure about this budding up malarky. I found that quite distracting. Its to difficult to find your buddy or check if they are still alive and also concentrate on the task at hand. I think it'd be better for one person to take command and ensure all the right places are defended by any available living player.

I also dont believe its a good idea to defend to close to the radio. I believe its better to spread out a bit and find a place where you have a good view of as much of the map as possible. Corners of buildings are good, as well as rooms with windows on as many sides as possible. The reason for this is that you can stop the enemy futher away from the radio. You can also give early warning of any enemies approaching. And if you die the person that kills you still has further to go to reach the radio which obviously takes time. While this time is ticking away your spawn time is getting closer! Also because your spread, approaching enemies will be forced to be cautious at all times because they will come to know that you might be anywhere!

What do you think?

Its a shame there is no map commander type player in the game who has a birds eye view of the map and can see where every friendly unit is, and direct them. This would make things really interesting! I think this is being developed for some games.

Also where do we get these colour coded maps to print out?

And is there anything we need to know about Sunday? Or will it be more or less the same as last night?

God!

i have to agree totally here with WILLOFGOD.
whats the use of defending the radio right near it when the enemy are no doubt going to send a bombardment of grenades over towards it and cause unneccesary killings.
we need to work out which routes the enemy are going to take while rushing for the radio, and focus on these areas to defend.
a good tip is to try and spread out as much as we can around the radio so that if they attack one route killing the people in that area then the remaining ones can distract untill the respawns are due.
also save your grenades incase they are needed when they are destroying the radio.
thouroghly enjoyed the training and cant wait till sunday.
but can anyone tell me why my TS wont work please?? 8O

hello to our new TR reservists :)

Valid points all, and ones which we have all aired and discussed before guys, in our little secret barracks forum on this site 8)

There may be reasons un known as to why your side did as it did i belive pup was holding command of yourside ? you need to remember that we are a new clan in the sense of proper clan wars, although pup, trust and others have been running TR for a long time. we have lots of new players one of whom is myself, so going along the lines of "Rome wasnt built in a day" and "theres more than one way to skin a cat" we will get there :)

over the past two weeks or so you would be impressed with how we as a clan have come toghether and performed on the battle field. Training is for training for all sorts of things, individual skills, team skills, map skills etc......

your points we already knew :) and your recomendations we are aware of, but your not at fault for pointing these out dont take me the wrong way fellas :)

as too the maps etc.. im not sure about operational security here :D but i dont see a problem with you having them. do you guys (TR CLAN) ??
we have a general battle commander who remains in control while the mob allows him :D

the god like commander thing you mentioned would ruin the game i think and make it all too easy, besides wheres the fun in not being able to kill folks :D
