We have a couple of snipers in our clan. They are very good and we revolve our strategy around them. I find that between sniping and grenading you can develop an advantage on this. We have mastered our strategy on Storm Front (a sniping map to say the least) and have never lost that map. We are working on it on other maps. Here is how it works:

Three teams
Team 1 are your snipers, they should be the smallest in numbers

Team 2 are your sniper guarders. they should be larger in numbers to team one. Just hide in the vicinity of a sniper and wait for some unfortunate soul to creep up on one of them. At which point press L2 to yell "Cover me" to allow your sniper to switch to his pistol in case you fail to kill the guy

Team 3 are the 'rushers'. If a sniper sees someone and can't get them, he or she alerts the rusher nearest. The rushers should not actually rush, but be up ahead. This also serves another purpose, any one of them getting killed by anything other than a sniper rifle alerts your snipers as to thier location

In reply to cs8980:

That really dosen't sound much like a strategy...more like an advanced "camping" technique.

I feel that you have a fraction of a strategy down with having your squad split up into "Teams". If you want to be an effective clan you need to start flanking your enemy. Post your snipers "mid-map" with maybe one guard each as a look out, they can be look outs for your teams and take the occasional kill. This also gives your other teams more man power to go and whip some buttocks. Most clans or people having fun just rush off in hopes of getting a kill before they die. Overpower them and then dance a little jig on their dead bodies.

I feel you about the camping technique. But we don't always do this in our base, and our snipers do move from time to time as well.

I do find that the best clans I have played against are those that stay in each others' vicinity and know when and where to throw nades. It seems whenever I kill one guy 4 come and shoot at me.

I like the ideas of the team... it will be cool if u let me be part of it. I totally dominate this game and my speciality is the Sniper.

Throwing grenades is less of a strategy than camping....But i would say camping has fallen under that catagory. With so many players,you have to leave your rear guarded,or your base.
I find that strategies work very well,but as more players are added to the mix,things begin to get more chaotic. Communication is the key to any games....the best plans ever wont help,if you cant communicate them properly.

The biggest flaw I see in this game,is that they didnt make it quicker/easier to switch to radio channels. And with the addition of players,you think they would have added more radio channels. If all players on your channel died,it would make sense that your radio go back to its original channel.

Regardless,its up to the players to overcome this....How sad,that they didnt have more insight though.

I would share my strategies,but thats one of the selling points of our clan. We have them. lol.
Plus,I recieve clan challenges from clans in this forum....Can't really give away our plans to them,now can we?

The only problem with camping is that it takes extreme patience. And even moreso when both teams are camping.

But if you camp in certain groups throughout the map (say each spawn point), then that gives you a huge advantage. I agree with elite though, it would have been nice to switch radio channels easier. Maybe the select button or something

I agreee you should have a very developed clan to do the so called "Camping" tactics. Some recent clans I have been are not that good at that and try to pull off a 1 vs. 8
