BF2S Forums Would THIS make your team WIN

Of course they would win. But wheres the fun in that. You want to pretend your in the army go play AA. BF2 is about chaos not organized tactics. At least not military ones. Leave that for clan wars

but its also fun causing chaos and having a good laugh in ur squad when u meet some game bugs, i did it a lot and its fun if u got ppl to really work w/ each other

if you advance with full sqauds, everyone dies in a PKM spray or a hand grenade

The organized team would win. Not only are they more prepared to defend themselves, but they will usually outnumber any oppostion they come up against. Having an increased amount of players in the squad would greatly increase capping speed on enemy flags, and if the squads kept highly mobile, like using two buggies, they could cap flags like maniacs.

As long as you have a team that wants to WIN, not just point-whore, squad tactics will win the day every time.

I think Artillery from a half-brained commander could ruin their day. BF2 tries to incorporate this style of  tactical gameplay but they ruin it by adding things that a single idiot can do to ruin it. Such as the PKM/Grenades (like someone said) and Artillery.

Individuals in the other team would end with high points but yeah the team with the orginisation will win.

If you want to play in organised squads like that then you need to join a clan, or at least a server with a public teamspeak channel.

The clan i'm in (Brothers in Arms) runs a 64 player server, and i can tell you that 9 outta 10 matches against the general public (what we call non-clan members) with a clan member as commander and the rest of our clan in squads will be won by us.

This is simply because as a clan we can all communicate with each other directly, which the general public can't do.  This is why most players go Lone Wolf.

Your organized team would get hit  by artillery and everyone would die. lol

The other team would win by being all over the map.

Wanna try it?

Try here.

tried there...didnt work champ. are you saying somthing in a satirical way? or is the sever just down lol

um, they don't run a (public) BF2 server, so methinks u were looking for something different than I meant, so mayhap some explanation required: They are a clan that operate military tactics. When the whole lot go "Pubbing", it's awesome, although rare as they split into teams for the TWL matches, so tend to go pubbing in those teams as it makes for good practise. The whole thing about arti & hand granades killing the organised team doesn't wash. If it's well organised the squads are seperated and with space between the individuals in the squad, so most you can hope to get that way is 1 or 2 - a few more if you're very lucky.

I can tell you, as a member of a Clan (Although we are new to BF2), the difference between moving with your tried and true brethren in tactical operations (As we do in our ususal domain before BF2) will, for the most part, get you the victories over the unorganized...Since I moved over to spin up this NEW Division, I spend my time playing on other servers to get a feel for the level of response there...It is frustrating to know I have tactics that I cannot use as a loner, since nobody seems to care, outside a few hookups on a smaller scale of individuals who see how you are trying to work and join your squad to go after the flags in an organized manner...

HOWEVER, someone posting a reply in a thread on Total BF2 by me, regarding EXACTLY your point here, stated that NOBODY is into going after WINS in this game...EVERYONE, he said, is out to move their stat sliders and get badges and awards...Quote: WHO THE HELL WANTS TO WIN???"  Man, what a letdown...Once I capped my basic badges, good enough for me, now lets get down to specialization at a few classes and work on being LETHAL at it. badges and ribbons fall where they may, to support my team WINNING...So I thought until I read that reply...

I told him I stood corrected and would now change my tactics and start playing for myself, but, I find it difficult to pull away from the mentality of looking for those few actually trying to win and move to support them in whatever way my class preference works...Maybe its the hours of relentless training I have endured to play like that...Hard to teach an old dog new tricks...IS that wrong??? Are there more of you into just free for all shoot em up, wild west gameplay, where I should just get used to it and act like the others?? or, stick to wanting to WIN and hoping I continue to find those few who are looking for the same???

Not arguing anyone's point, more, reflecting a misunderstanding on my part and wwanting to KNOW for sure where I should focus my energies...Thanks for any replies, as it's not entirly off-topic to the host poster's question...

Good luck, good hunting out there...

OUT!

Personally I ALWAYS play to win - right down to that last ticket or second if the round is timed. It doesn't stop me going for awards either - just helps me get deadly in all classes. I got vet combat in all classes and am working on the others. Maybe you are sticking too rigidly to yuor training, but i assure you that there are plenty of us out there who try as hard as they can to win. After all, i wouldn't want a negetive win/loss ratio

Play to win fuck stats. working as a squad is always better then lone wolf. dont get me wrong just because im in a squad does not mean i "always" have to be with them. alot of the time you can do your thing and when you see your SL on a flag spawn on him. or if your squad needs help spawn on them with what they need. I'm a squad leader all day long. sometimes i tell my guys do your thing ill call you in a second. because i can get from point A to point B with out being seen. then when im in a good postion i call for them. and we hit up flags. Sometimes we roll 2 man teams. and switch up squad leaders depending on who is in the better postion at that time.

As for running military tactics. I feel in BF2 these tactics would take to long to cap flags. you cant just go walking behind armor and use it for cover. you cant just have 6 guys defending 1 point when there are 9 points on the map on a 32 or 64 man server. Like others have said the military do things because they have weeks to impliment the tactics as well as 1 death per man. if you can slowly weed your way in and actually kill the enemy with out worring about tickets dropping or enemys respawning then yea they would work. you all say 1 gernade to take out a squad.. come on man. i run squads all day long and i have never had my entire squad die from 1 gernade.

BF2 is a game, and just like real life you have to adjust your tactics with the situation you are given. a tactic that works well in 1 does not mean it will work well in the other.

Say if everybody on the whole team got into 4-6 man squads and all played as a squad. Then they incorporated miliatry tactics like covering each other as one member advanced so on and so forth.
All vehicles were used as cover and used correctly like in a military invasion.

The other team simply jus did what most people do on this game have one or two squads working well but not properly and the rest lone wolves driving armour flin planes to random points on the map.

Now who would win? and if anybody plays on servers like my 1st point then tell me cos i would like to give it ago.

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind trying that. Definitely a winning tactic...
But would THIS make your team win?

I think so
