Advanced Team Tactics
There are several
tactics you can apply while playing as a team and there are also several things
you can avoid.
First of all, what
kind of team are you? Are you a team that is well organized? Is there
communication among the teammates? How well do you know the other teammates and
their style? Do you assign each player a different class or do you have random
classes?
Let’s see some tips .There
are 3 basic sections that needs your attention.
A)
Moving
When moving you have to follow some rules.
If you are a rusher you have to know well the map hot spots ,routes (tip
no4) and times to get there (tip no1).It’s crucial to know when to sprint and
how (tips no23 and no35).Be carefully when moving with other teammates.
If you are moving in groups, it
should be no more than three people because of
1) there would be less at the front lines to keep the enemy distracted
and
2) more people will cause more movement and it will increase the chances
of being seen. If possible go alone (tip no51).
Don’t go all together in one direction cause one single enemy could stun
or flash you and eventually take out many of you, if not all. Also if you all
move towards one direction with no one guarding your six o clock, then you may
get surrounded by enemy rushers and get pinned down.
B)
Defending
Case 1
The team splits and covers both bombsites.
A good tip is to have several players with several different classes for
more versatility (not only snipers for example).
Case 2
The team splits and covers both bombsites and possible ‘hot spot’ passages
.Also one player rushes to the enemy spawn and infiltrates behind enemy lines .He
can take out any unsuspicious enemies
,cause panic to enemy lines ,distract and make the enemies to go to a defensive
position ,slowing down their attack .Remember the best defend is attack.
Case 3
The team goes beyond the bombsites and goes for the kills. In that case
there is a bigger possibility of losing for several reasons .First of all you
can lose cause you won’t be able to defend the bombsites and the enemy will
plant the bomb .If the enemy plants he has the advantage, cause planting makes
the game coming to an end .The clock ticks backwards and you have only a few
seconds to kill any defenders and defuse .Only if you have the numerical advantage
you can increase your possibilities for win.
C)
Attacking
Case 1
Split and attack both bombsites. The team that hasn’t got the bomb could
act as a decoy , retreating after causing noise and go support the team that
has the bomb. That way the enemy forces will split as they won’t be able to
know where your team will plant.
Case 2
Go all together in one bombsite. You
should proceed with caution. Don’t move all together. Cover your six ‘o
clock ,cover all possible routes that an enemy could use to flank you . Plant. Take
defensive positions.
Case 3
Go for the kill.
A team goes forward, searching for enemies. A few rushers go towards
enemy spawns. Their job is to take out unsuspicious enemies , cause panic to
enemy lines, distract and slow down enemies. If you are lucky enough the game
could end without planting. Snd is an objective game so playing the objective
(plant) could help you accelerate things to your advantage. If you plant, you
have only a few seconds that you have to stay alive and defend. If you don’t
plant and go for the kills , then you can play for a long period of time and
eventually lose , cause you won’t be able to find the remaining enemy and kill
him in time.
There is a video example of spawn traping.See what happens if you aren't so careful and you don't cover all passages.
