Observe and Report
1: Get ventrilo
2: Listen to your teammates
3: Stick with your teammates on the battlefield, territory is not important if you don't have any units left. If there's a flank that needs covering then move with your team. You cannot play EIR solo.
If you fail to oblige any of these rules you will become a victim of rape.
Lets add a few notes to the first 2.
1. Ventrillo is not enough get a mic so you can tell the 'elitists' exactly how you need backing up.
ex. if your armor heavy and they need your help, but theres atgs every where don't let them call you a noob or a moron. Tell them to stop being pompus assholes and clear the atgs so you can help them.
2. Listening to your team mates is all well and good. But certain people like to try to get you to scarifice your vet to save thiers from stupid situations they got themselves into.
ex. Use your vet 3 commandoes to save my vet 3 rangers from the 2 IST's in the middle of an open field. OMG noob you fail, why didn't you come i lost my vet.
3. To reiterate Ponies point, Solo is bad. Even acts that may seem solo (stormy ambushes, rear acting commandoes) can only succeed if properly coordinated.
ex. If using a couple storm squads to rape support weapons, get your team to push the front. 9 times out of ten it will cause the enemy team to hesitate, and take them time to reman/reposition the support and if your lucky even wipe out thier line.
But more to the point from seeing you and a few other new people play, a couple things are deffinitly needed.
1. A little more caution, seen you guys charging off alone.
2. Stormtroopers. This is not a debate about thier usefulness. 2-3 strike squads are nice and depending on your micro and luck can be quite effective, storms are not mainline infantry and not disposable like volks. Also they cannot cap cloaked...
3. Vet is easy, anyone can get it and keep it. But if your units are rarely causing worth while attrition to the enemy, forget about vet until you get a good feel for the unit.
