Short And Concise Tactical Tips

<div class="IPBDescription">Or spam, if you're like that</div> I've been meaning to get make some generally applicable tactical hints in short format, suitable for a bind. First I was just going to get some "PHASE GATE UNDER ATTACK" or simmilar binds, but there's a bunch of info that could be randomly distributed to assist newer players and/or remind the more experienced ones of their duties. The script would be set up to rotate through a nice selection of these.

<b>.:If you have no orders please PATROL the PHASEGATES:.</b>

^^^for example

Now, gimme some examples that I can use since I am too lazy and stupid to do it myself.


Ps. What's the "team_say" command in NS anyway?

    <b>.:If you're not following orders, you will get NOTHING.</b>

    And the team_say command is mesagemode2, I believe.

    <b>Take as little ammo as possible, it SLOWS YOU DOWN</b>

    blatantly half stolen from another thread(the way of the marine):

    <b>Chase the fades! Marines don't die, they go to hell to regroup</b>

    I think your problem may be putting team_say instead of say_team.

    IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT I ASK, AND DON"T GET ANYTHING DONE ON YOUR OWN, STOP ASKING FOR HA/HMG

    That'd stop alot of chatter, really.

    IN FACT DON'T ASK FOR ANYTHING

    Could be added.

    LOOK AT THE REZ BEFORE YOU ASK

    Love those 4 minute into it games where suddenly some genus asks for 6 ammos and "3" healths. Yeah. +50 each.
    I know.

    THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

    Though that might stop the higher brain fucntion of some of the people that play, asking for HA/HMG out of the spawn gates game start is right up there with making a new Ever Quest charecter and saying "Bing! Level 1!" When you connect.

    If I played EQ, I would totally be all "Bing! Level 1!"

    All the time.
    Even when I hit 36. "Bing! Level 1!"

    I have nothing else to add to this thread.

    Oh yeah very important:
    <b>Weld HA ALL THE TIME</b>

    People seem to think that ha with armour 0 still makes them invincible.

    Good suggestions, keep them coming (well except the EQ one, didn't get that <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->).



    I was considering:


    <b>.: Don't ask for specific Equip, use whatever I drop as best you can:.</b>


    since I am soooo sick of people thinking I'm a clerk.

    "Yeah... I'd like a jet-pack and a Sho... no wait, make that a hmg, oh and a pack of mines too if they're fresh"

    no, if your playying on pubs do not force equipment onto players. What is the point of giving a guy a shotgun and jetpack even though he has made it clear that he has no idea how to use it effectively? It is not just the marines job to play towards the commanders style, the commander must adjust to his marines style and ability as well. If your giving out mines but they are not being placed effectively, why drop more? switch to turrets or something that your marines can use properly. This is why many comms lose on public servers. Good commanders should not have to follow rigid strategies in order to win, they have to beable to adapt to different situations.

    1) If anyone says "go through the phase NOW"! it should not be interpreted as:
    1. Load up on full ammo
    2. Ask for equipment
    3. Whine for equipment
    4. Notify the rest of the team that the phase is now gone

    2)Do not whine for equipment, if you deserve it your will get it.
    3)Follow orders, if you do you will increase your chances of getting items

    Story for that is, I once was commander in a game, and there was this guy that really shined, don't remember his name. Anyway I told him to get back to base immidietly, and he complied. *spawn*(HMG) spawn*(Jetpack). Ok, now get back and guard that phase. I felt completely right about giving him this, as he mastered the art of going to point a from point b on request, and was a superb player. In this game only two people had JP and HMG, and both survived the entire game.

    [edit]4)Feel free to ASK for equipment, but don't hang around base all the game whining for it.

    [edit2]5) Don't ask for health early in the game, instead kill yourself and you'll get full health, or attack the alien hive.
