Do you think we play Socom the way it was meant to be?

[liquid_606]

i know what u mean man. i just use tactics now for clan battles

[-=SpEcIaLisT=-]

Well if you look into active channels, there is an offence and a defence channel, so clearly it was planned out so that there are 2 groups of 4
, (just like in single player) a defence group doing things like guarding the vips, and a killing group,

Finally, a topic I can relate to <3

When I played Rogue Spear, I noticed that too - just about every shooter game has a majority of run-and-gun rambo guys. That's why I created a clan called the Alpha Squadron (International Champs '02 via racingclan.net & zone.com). We were a teamwork clan and I Taught the members there just about everything that I knew/could think of to help them with teamwork. We kicked SO MUCH @$$ - we could even beat the Recon missions with a fireteam of 8 people in coop (the hardest mission we beat on our 3rd try, one of the old members might still have the screenshot but idk).

We knew eachother through Rogue Spear so well that two old members decided to remake the clan here in SOCOM II - if you ever see the tag [ASQ] then tell them wanderer says hi

P.S - TIP FOR ANYONE WHO PLANS TO CREATE A TEAMWORK CLAN:
RECRUIT A MAJORITY OF NEWBIES (newbies to the game are easier to teach than "pros" because the "l33t pros" are either stubborn or too used to their own style and won't easily adopt your teamwork rules. Trust me I know this from experience and I taught newbies in Rogue Spear - lots of them).

TEH GAME WAS MADE TO BE A TACTICAL FIGHTER, NOT RAMBO MEETS ARNOLD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOARD WITH EVERYONE RUNNING IN CIRCLES SHOOTING.IF YOU PLAYED THE RIGHT WAY THE GAME TIMERS SHOULD BE SET LONGER AND YOU WOULD BE WAITING OUT YOUR OPPONENTS, NOT RUNNIN LIKE MANIACS.

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION.....

iF I WAS IN A REAL WAR WOULD I RUN AROUND LIKE A DAMN FOOL? I REALLY DON'T THINK SO. I'VE BEEN TO IRAQ TWICE AND BOSNIA TWICE SO I CAN ATTEST TO A REAL SITUATION. THE WAY THIS GAM IS PLAYED IS FAR BEYOND THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED.PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK PEOPLE HAVE THE PATIENTS AND THAT'S WHY IT'S TURNED INTO A RUN AND GUN!

[MrRob]

I think it turned into a run and gun because there are some people out there that see a guy or two run on their screen and they pop a boner instead of waiting back to see where they go. So one guy comes out firing on all cylinders, fine, but does that mean that the WHOLE TEAM has to come running out to help one dope who has an itchy trigger finger? That's why you need a clan, you need a frontline to distract people and take out ground patrol, you need guys backing up them, and a sniper to be protected by all....This game is really really easy, IF the people you play with know what they're doing...All I can say is choose your team mates wisely...

Tooting my own horn time ...

Me and a buddy of mine were playing against a new guy the other night ... He was/is an excellent player, but clearly of the Run n' Gun variety, he was slaughtering us with the skip back and forth run circles around you while shooting bit.

So we took it away from him. As soon as the match started we pulled way back to the edge of the map where no one has any business being and just sat ... for 2 or 3 minutes. He must've got antsy, or got spooked by a shadow or something, cause all of a sudden we see "player commits suicide with M67". Next round we played a bit more aggressively, blowing a breach immediately but then pulled back and did the same thing ... he eventually came running around looking for us and we caught him by surprise and mowed him down.

Keep 'em guessing.

Good quote..bad caps!

Anyways....I agree this is the way the game should be played...hanging back using strategy...but most people you play with play all day long and want short rounds for quick games for the next board.....this would be fun for a sorta person that could only play 1 day outta the week or suttin..


I joined a clan with people I know irl and some other good players..we actually have strategy not just "dont die" crap....so find a group of ppl you like.....ask if you can join...if your up to par theyd love to let you in...and let the strategizing begin...
