Ok, I've been really busy around the house, been really busy at work, and finally got my sound system installed - http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=74273&page=1 - , and I got punch-out, but I promise I'll be back hopefully tonight (so long as I don't have to work late) and tomorrow I'll be playing

Good to hear Nord will be back in action soon.

With the new patch, staggering spawns becomes even more important.  This means you can't place 2 spawns side by side at the objective anymore.  We need one spawn at the objective and one back a bit (possibly elevated) to give guys spawning a chance to spread out and flank. This was always a better tactic than 2 spawns side by side anyways, now its going to have to be the standard. 

I guess now we can also c4 enemy spawn grenades, something that was useless previously.

Let's see if they've ruined the game. And with that I mean I don't want to get shot in back right after spawning without me even having the time to turn around.

*sigh* I just played in a game with mostly lower ranked people and it was sad. . .

Even though there are some players near my rank, I'm the ONLY person throwing spawnpoints and despite that, only a few people are actually spawning at them and the rest are spawning at the main base.

Watching the map to see a cluster of people run out of the main base of Salamun market to run towards the enemy S&D objective is so pathetic.

agreed. I don't like being tac as I only have air support, but I'll switch just so I have a spawn point after my next death.

hello ! XD

Anyone cares ?

My video was recorded prior to the patch but it functions fine with it anyways because of it's focus on flanking.

I'll send it to non_gravity and have him pm it to you all (the link) so check your inbox.


It has less.. motion IE i didn't animate it. This time i just rendered images of the final front and explained it throughout.

It goes over a lot of new tactics. Some that are particularly useful in the modes where we are stuggling such as search and destroy and search and retrieve (by struggling i mean in compairsson to other modes ofcourse )

^ sweet.  We would definitely do better if everyone knew the tactics a little more.  Im interested to see the "new" strategies. 

Our S&D relies heavily on clusterfuckery.. ie: every man on our team goes it alone and ends up getting picked off as planting.  I still think its a good idea to designate 2 guys at the start of the match as the Planters, and everyone else tries to clear the area, and protect the Planters.

Yep that's a very good idea. I made my example using one, but two is definetely also a good idea.

I feel like a ghost,

How can I calculate how much points I need to have to be in the top 10% this week?

I was playing for the past few hours and didn't see any patch download.. ugh

Blah, I really want to get the red valor this week. I should have about 4k points right now which ranks me somewhere around 1900 in the weekly leaderboard. Doing the math of the number of ranks on the leaderboard, I ought to need to get to the 1500th place to be in the top 1%.
