FPS Games and Squads @ Dire

[Braddoc]

Ok so one issue we have with voice squad play in BC2 (any FPS) is relaying positions and orientations of targets or movements.

Right now the best we came up with is to use the Rush "Points" A or B as reference, and then North / South or Left / Right as the orientation of our team for that round.

So like over voice:

"I got 2 targets heading to a blue building left of B"

Problem with this is since attacking / defending changes the orientation of the mini map this get a bit confusing sometimes, or its a bit slow when the target is somewhere not easily identifiable. Even worse trying to describe where you died sometimes.

Do you do anything specific in PR for this? Or just basically yell out landmarks and directions based on current orientations?

People in PR tend to just use what the army use.

Use direction, Keypads, and distance,

so for example if we wearnt looking at a grid map id say,

1 target (or enemy) 100 meters left of 2 story building, 2nd window to the left..

Or for a map, I have enemy move ment, f-8 keypad 6..

Its confusing sometimes but basically I can work with anything as long as your calling out something reasonable :P

What game is this?

What game is this?

Were getting ready for Battle Field 3,


But Braddoc plays BC2 (I have it too) and I mostly play Project Reality which is a Battlefield 2 realsim mod..

Ok so this is what we do basically. it works ok, but until you know the map, things are a bit rough.

When BF3 comes out it'll be a bit hard until we know the maps. Unless you've played BF2 Karkand in PR.

Then it'll be a butt raping good time. That was one of the best maps.

you guys try out homefront at all? ive heard the online play is awesome but single sucks.. id pick it up if you guys were playing it.

[Braddoc]

IDK what that is but I'll look.

Dire I tried to find you in TS last night, we went 23:44 on Helms deep.
