I've just come back after 2 years of not playing, I suppose I could play pcw's or join a clan, but I like just joining pub servers.. but.. oh.. my... God.. the teamplay is just horrific..

I'm not talking about newbies, these are seasoned clanned experienced players.. names I recognise.. guys who've been playing for years..

1. When you have a welder, weld people, don't wait for them to ask, just weld always, gun, pistol, weld, shoot, build, shoot, weld, keep doing it..

2. Just jump straight into the phase, phase again, and again..

3. Press your map button, look what needs to be done..

4. Stop ammo humping, throw yourself into the fight, theres plenty of ammo on the ground from the dead marines you probably aren't supporting..

This is not for new players, this is for the people who've been playing for years. Anyone who comms on pubs will know exactly what I mean.

    Ok, first of all it's likely that none of these "seasoned clanned experienced players" even read these forums and, if they do, they really don't care about improving team play. Second, these players aren't necessarily any good. In fact, I can't really imagine that there could be any good players left who play NS on pubs these days. With the way of player attrition in NS since 3.0b5, the last veteran cohort has gone through its half-life about 5 times by now (that means there's maybe 5 veteran players left that touch NS on even a semi-regular basis). Those that actually try to play are banned from 99% of pub servers. In short, you're barking up the wrong tree.

    I'm sure a TG representative will shortly jump in and point your compass to their server for its superior teamwork.

    I just started playing a bit again after months and months of absence because ppl ingame are complete idiots. It hasnt changed. My own aim has greatly dropped (and some skill since I forgot a few things) but half the ppl I played with are still below my current skill level. Nothing has changed

    agreed. I don't even bother trying to team work on pubs. It's near useless.

    Surprised no one mentioned that if there were true vets playing on these servers they really dont need a team to take care of 10-15 pubbers. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Well....besides a few medpacks and ammo from the comm.

    I usually just play on US pub servers where surprisingly the teamplay is much higher than on EU servers.. am not quite sure why, but it just is..

    On EU servers I often have to recycle the armory and place it where the next phase is just to make people phase instead of humping, its costly but the phase gets lost otherwise.

    Alot of "good" players are actually quite crap, there are so many times I need players just to be a weld monkey, or to suicide in, but these 'good' players are too concerned with their kill/death ratio to ever actually play for the team.

    And yes.. most players do play on pub servers in pub games..

    I would point you towards TG. Banned everywhere else and the server has adequate teamwork, even if some people may annoy you. It doesn't take long to realize that you're playing with people who at least have a general understanding of the game and you can go from there.

    Ignore all the haters. I realize that having voice_scale 2 voice_enable 1 is painful for some of you but you'll manage.

    Flames on me?

    It wouldn't be nearly as painful if the server didn't automatically kick you for having anyone at all muted, no matter how much they spam backseat orders and don't get banned, or whether or not you actually muted them in the first place, rather than getting a false positive with the way the HL mute system functions.

    With that said though, Leon is right - TG is one of the better servers, especially if you're looking for teamwork. I like Yo Clan as well.
