** Before you read this, please understand that I am usually not an angry person, nor do I have hate in my heart, nor am I an a$$hole online... I'm just very, very frustrated right now. **

Sometimes I really can't stand this damn game. I enjoy playing team deathmatch, because I'm pretty good at killing people efficiently without dying, and I don't need an extra objective (ie plant the bomb, capture the flag, hold down the fort) to make the game interesting.

HOWEVER, I am sick of people not communicating. Actually lemme back up... learn the damn maps people. Seriously. You should know where something is if I happen to call out that there's an enemy near such and such.

Next, if you know where an enemy is, or multiple enemies, call out the location. If you just died and you know where the enemy killed you from, call it out AND DO NOT rush their position alone, regroup with the team when you spawn. If you're being shot at SEEK COVER. Again I say, GET BEHIND SOMETHING. Its more important to be ALIVE than to miss your target while they're shooting at you, and die.

Again... SEEK COVER. People need to understand that its okay to retreat while you recover some health. I feel like people just rush into enemy territory without the proper cover, and then don't even try to stay alive when engaged as a target. This is so fundamental I can't believe I'm having to spell it out.

All of this brings me to wishing I was part of a communicating clan. I dream of playing with a team who doesn't rush the enemy spawn, who doesn't run into battle while still hurt with only half a clip loaded, a team who has patience enough to hold position (not CAMP) and let the enemy come to them instead of rushing towards death. All this is possible if a team would properly communicate.

SO. I would like to extend an invite to anyone who would like to play for some SERIOUS fun. I want to play with a team who goes positive (k:d) most matches. I want a team who can play tactically as a whole. A team who wins.

My XBOX Live gamertag is HoodwILL. If you have the same desires and would like to play with me sometime, hit me up. My hope is to have a group of maybe 20 - 30 dedicated players, so anytime we sign onto XBOX Live there will be friendly and skilled people to party up with.

Cheers!

Well I am a bit like you HoodwILL, but at the moment their is a breakdown, One due to the fact that most multiplayer matches you play do not allow party chat, depending on what sort of game mode you play, although you have an advantage if all six are in the same lobby at once, but otherwise no. Although I do think its good to communicate with others, Some people find it rather annoying, they prefer to play their own way. Great thread btw, and I will give you an add on XBL, the next time I am on. I'm not on till about Sunday night though, and look forward to hearing from you.

Yea, I'm beginning to realize that there are a lot more immature players on my console. Great!

Symbiote_Sabre

You gotta love Playstation
To be honest there are still allot of immature people on Psn, even grown men start insulting little kids for either camping or just because they killed them.

Ill be willing to join, although i sound like a 10 year old, but I can be mature.

I just like overall communicating. I dont see whats so bad about it. I think its just my voice.

Anyways, Ill add you and see what we can muster...

Frodoofpool

Great post, couldn't agree more.

Great thread to remind people that a lot of wins in this game depend on communication. I play with a solid group of people who realize that HELPING eachother out makes our team successful....nothing I hate more is signing on and I don't have anyone from our group online and I have to go solo...the silent games usually end in disaster.

Frodoofpool

never a truer word......

btangel

You're playing pubs and expect people to communicate? Which game did you come from?

whiterhinolord

I met a group of guys just like you Will - we talk constantly and help each other massively - we lose to only really organised parties and it justs makes the game so much more enjoyable

we do have a good laugh too though and many a game i'm crying with laughter

so add me and i'll introduce you to them when we're next online

Yea, I know I may be dreaming, asking of so much from pub matches...!

Thank you, guys, I am eager to meet people who you all party up with already, as well as meet and welcome anyone who wishes to have fun while playing tactically. I will be sure to send a friend request to everyone who's down!

I feel like a camper when my team continually rushes the enemy when we're losing... so crappy.

Anyways, things are looking up Keep the posts rollin' in!

*Side note... if we form up a new clan I am down for suggestions on a name...? Brainstorming, commence.

You joined this forum and troll on other peoples hopes and ideas because they contradict what you think? What universe did you come from?

HoodwILL

Real quick... I've also decided I'm going to adopt official terminology for calling things out: names of places I will always use when specifying locations on the map. I have the Brady Games guide that has all the info in it, but its the exact same as the maps you can find here: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Maps

So anyone who wishes can memorize the names of locations on these maps if you want us to be in sync!

not trying to troll, but team deathmatch really isn't the type of game that requires communication. everything is spelled out for even the least astute of players, and besides: mw2 is a game that rewards individual performance more than anything else, so i wouldn't be surprised about randoms not listening, cooperating or otherwise playing as a team. especially on xbox dude

HoodwILL

Sure, the game rewards individual performance, and I'm not surprised that people playing pub matches don't want to listen, but just think how great it would feel to play together as a team and have even GREATER opportunities to shine as an individual player. I know, "if you're good then you should be able to hold your own in any gametype," and there's some truth to that, but playing together as a team should (in theory) allow each player more satisfaction in winning, by dying less. Think of it as any team sport, like baseball: the rules are clearly spelled out, as well as the rewards, yet individual players can still be rewarded (MVP, Hall of Fame, Top 10) while playing as part of a team. I would rather watch a season of baseball where the teams remain the same, than watch a season where each game is comprised of a different team roster (mercenary TDM). Why not TRY to ensure a win while earning individual performance rewards? Ya dig??

It contradicts not MY opinion but the norm. The only time when people talk over the mic in a pub is to shit talk to the other team, not communicate about positions. Seriously. I'm merely stating the facts, if you don't realize this stop wasting space.

Alphabuster187

You get rewarded individually, but without communication chances of winning can be 50-50, when a team communicates the chances of winning increase. Yes, you can still have a winning team without saying a word but wouldn't you rather have more interaction? I would...

You know, I've never really been into PC gaming. Scratch that... I used to game on PC when DOOM first came around. Early 90's: X-Wing, Rebel Assault, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3D... ah those were the days. But ever since I've pretty much been into console gaming (I think it was the N64 that got me hooked: Goldeneye). I would love to have a gaming PC, especially for games like Crysis, but I've just never spent the time and cash getting one.

*Speaking of Goldeneye, is there anyone out there who still uses the N64 controller setup besides me?? I just can't switch to these 'default' controls... Long Live LEGACY! And I'm a righty too!

I am a wanna be communicator, but on PSN , and I dont have a microphone headset either .. I usually mute people because I can hear their speakers in my speakers and the echo really gets to me in the game.

Yes, I'm 100% with you. GT: XxInsaneIconxX

The truth is, I want to form up with people who know how to play together in any game type. So please leave a quick reply if you're at all interested, and feel free to leave comments or suggestions, or ideas and wishes you have about playing with a more structured team.

Today, I'm sending friend requests to those who have expressed interest in forming some sort of group. The list reads:

I would be interested as there are huge benefits of playing with people who communicate whats happening in the field but straight away I notice you are in America so that would not work for me due to time difference..!! Its a shame because I also am a TDM kinda guy but as soon as I hit level 70 I am going to try the other more camping types of games..!!
