MGO: NeoGAF vs Konami
- Thread starter Nozdeuce
- Start date
Okay, here are guidelines to how to go about playing an organized run of Base and Capture on Blood Bath. If we end up playing any other mode, like TDM, DM, or SNK, well... play your best.
STUDY THEM WELL.
I'm going to go through all the skill sets, and allocate what skillsets each team member should have, then I'm going to continue onto GG and MM
As for anything I left out (particularly how to deal with when there are enemies up ahead), just keep your grenades handy, especially for the capture points. This also means you should be wary of the stairs. Someone needs to watch those stairs.
EDIT:
notes on tactical movement:
Rules of Battle:
If you're in a team, ALWAYS stick with your buddy, do not wander around unless to flank. This is important. Solo should assist other teams when top priorities are taken care of.
When someone calls for a boost, answer it, don't ignore and just keep walking. Know your buddy, watch out for your buddy, take care of your buddy. If you have a mic, call him by name.
Solo should avoid confrontation, and immediately call for backup (default is up + down). Use grenades regularly. Solo should also assist either team when all priorities have been met. Solo is the first to run for a base if its flickering on the mini map.
If your buddy dies, act accordingly, based on the situation, don't panic between deciding to regroup, holding your position, or moving forward. Act accordingly. If you died, don't try to run a B-line to your buddy, move defensively, even if it gives you a headache.
Abilities and Equip:
Level 3 Exposure (mandatory; level 1 and 2 are sufficient if ability isn't mastered yet)
Fast Move (suggested)
note: if you feel that you need the extra slot, and you're capable of using the locator grenades, feel free.
Don't be afraid to set up traps, just make sure you say so, very clearly, over the mic.
Don't be afraid to equip chaff. If your team is flanking, throw one out to confuse the enemy. However, only one person per team should have chaff, if the item is deemed necessary. Also, be wary of the fact that you won't be able to see either. Chaff can have tactical uses if used while retrieving a kerotan/duck, but NOT while the other team still has one or both. Flashbangs, followed by chaff, and leaving the enemy stunned and confused would be a great tactic to employ, but I think it would be too hard to try to organize that sort of maneuver with such a limited amount of time until the matchup. If such a maneuver was desired, I would suggest Team A have one person with flashbangs, and one person with chaff, during Capture games only. During Base, using chaff is a double edged sword, as you can't see if your opponents are capturing a base or not. If used properly during base (i.e. throw before capturing the very last base to get all bases, so they don't know).

Okay things are finally coming to a head, deadline for getting names in is at 3pst/6est.
Currently my confirmed people are:
MickeyKnox, Darkpen and MiamiWesker.
As the deadline gets closer I havent heard from Mickey since this morning and may have to cut him in exchange for someone who is currently around. Soo we might have 2 or 3 alternates up.

For team deathmatch in Blood Bath, use height. I cant tell you how many times I got up on the railings and killed tons of people before they even tried to get me. If we are good we can fortify the railings with claymores at the stairs.
Fro GG should we have a sniper on the tower or is that a waste, many times they can't find a target. The plus is that they wont die much at all but the downside is one less member on ground.

Damn it im going to punch the next ATT tech I see in the face. They mixed up something on our phone line and now every time the phone rings or someone picks it up, DSL connectivity stops for 1-3 seconds, which of course kicks me out of PSN or any service im connected to.
Might not be able to make it to the battlefield today if this keeps up...either that or i'll just unplug the phone when the time comes lol.
Also how exactly do you give team mates a boost to higher objects?

Go up to the wall in question and the boost icon will show up, its triangle. To use the boost same thing, just get close to the guy doing the boost. You must hold down the button.

kk just got a response from Brandon.
Of course my headset chooses now to not work properly. Never shoulda bought that model.
Just wanna make sure, how do you toggle keyboard chat for team only? I've never used it before ._.

Didn't see this thread here so I'll just report from the other thread:Ephemeris said:
I'll be available after 5:00PM PST or so (Fox Unit) if I'm needed to fill spots, but you probably wouldn't want me in if you have someone more active available. I've only leveled two skills (rifles and speed) and I don't have a Bluetooth mic. I do have considerable competitive Counter-Strike experience though, so I at least know how to work as a team and such.
Sooo all 5 have to confirm before we get a timeslot. Darkpen and Pai Pai i know you've both said youve confirmed, has anyone else yet?
Edit: and now Guled, thats 3/5
Edit2: Tekno just PMed me, now we're waiting for Wesker to confirm his confirmation :lol

Heyheyhey.
I picked up a mic on the way home from work.
Do we know exactly what modes/maps we're playing? I'd like to get some practice in before the scrim.
For Capture the frog, I volunteer to be the runner, I like to use movement 3 & pistol 1 on it with a shield so I can get that shit as fast as possible then be able to spend more time in the goal.
As far as base mission I can either go with offense or support, movement 2 assault rifle 2 & movement 3 trap 1 respectively. The support setup is so I can focus on setting SOPdestabs so that we can coordinate a sweep.

In your PM this morning you mentioned 7-9 PST, I'm on the east coast so I knew I'd be home from work with tons of time left over, that's why I said you can count me in.

I sent the confirmation and got a reply a while back, dont worry. So when do we get our time?
Let me eat and stuff later I will be on. We should practice with the team, mics and all. Maybe we can get some guys to create an enemy team so we can practice against.
Anyway, when I just got on like an hour ago it was a sneaking mission, I spawned right in front of Snake. So I quickly went to fire but I pressed R2 and L2 cause of GTA :lol . I started going into the box and stuff, finally I remembered how to shoot and killed snake.

I understand that, what I don't understand is how my confirmation that I sent in at 9am EST became invalid because I didn't have internet access at work.Darkpen said:Brandon said they needed a complete roster by 4pm pst
