Capture the Flag Squad

[gratefulDUBS]

For sure dawg! I knew you'd be there! By the way, did you see your new promotion? Sergeant Brando!! You've been very active so far in the clan and this whole 2v2 tourney, absolutely awesome by the way, is really setting you apart. Look forward to seeing you on the battlefield tonight!

[BFB jsbrando]

I had not seen the promotion... sweet... and thanks!

Hopefully we get enough turnout for the tourney we can put them on more often in the future.

[gratefulDUBS]

haha i felt like it was needed and so did cheech, this tourney thing should turn into some very fun times haha as will this CTF squad.

ELITE CTF SQUAD UNITE

[BFB jsbrando]

I want to get a Headquarters squad together as well. I thought we had a S&D squad, but I haven't really seen any S&D action from our clan since my first night.

[gratefulDUBS]

Great session tonight guys. I'll be honest, that was f'n incredible.. I had high hopes for this squad and from what i saw tonight, i think we definetly have that ability. As long as the communication and teamwork is there, we are unbeatable. The only thing I want to repeat is that we need to have people watching the flag at all times. At the very very least we need to have 1 person watching the flag, if not two. If the flag disappears then we need to know where it is going, which i think we did a very good job at tonight. I want this squad to become elite. I'm looking for the best players of the clan, i'm not talking statistics, i'm talking teamwork and communication. I would like to have at least a solid 6 player team for sure. I am also looking for extras, so if you did not get into the games tonight then no problem, we'll probably have another practice either this week or next weekend. For sure, I want kapt, brando, and cheech in the squad. For those of you that i just named, if you could confirm your engagement in this squad that would be great. Splash, i know you're pretty new, but you showed a great deal of promise tonight, once you register, i'd like for you to respond to this thread with whether or not you would be up for taking part in my CTF squad. Fardeki, same with you, you showed quite a bit tonight, but i do understand the time contraint that we have with you. It doesn't seem like much of a problem right now haha but i'd just like to know what you think, so please respond to this thread as well. Other than that, anyone else that is interested, please post on this thread! Thanks a lot, and once again, great job tonight!

I'd like to second what dubya said. Great session. The only time we lost or were pushed hard was when our communication and assignments broke down. It's easy for that to happen sometimes, and we understand patience as a guard is difficult, but patience also can be rewarding...

Dubya, I'm in for sure!

IM stoked,we did great last night.We lost maybe 5 CTF all night.IM still up for it guys.It was fun and serious.I agree with dubya,we need this squad to be the best.So moving forward guys lets do it. I have faith in you

I have not played CTF and had so much fun as I did last night with you guys. Let me apologize for "jinxing" us though first. So sorry you guys, I "jinxed" it!

What I learned last night?

1. We can be unstopable
2. CTF takes more patience, discipline and collaboration from the whole Team
3. Once the 1st flag is taken, 1 person should stay behind ready to take the 2nd one and so on
4. Defenders should probably be the ones always equipped with strelas
5. Someone should always try and get a kill streak to wipe out the other team

CTF is once again my favorite Game mode to play. As long as we understand that each of us has a responsibility and role during games, we are golden. Lets keep it up and prepare ourselves for some Tourneys and Ladder matches soon!

[BFB jsbrando]

To elaborate on what Cheech has said here are some more observations from last night...

Strategy observations from CTF night 1.

2 runners, 2 escorts, and 2 guards worked well on most maps.

We need to continue with good communication:
Call out second chance players when they're downed so others don't run into them.
Call out which direction the enemy flag runner has taken our flag.
Call out which direction you die and see enemy approaching.

We did all this well, but we can always improve.

All good CTF, as well as any other round based gaming teams, do well is they hold almost all their kill streak rewards till the 2nd round. The only kill streaks we need to use in Round 1 are spy plane and counter spy plane. Save the rest for round 2 and 3 if necessary.

We also need to work on our kill streak options for each player. The breakdown should be something like the following:
Runner 1 - Spy plane, Counter spy plane, Care Package
Runner 2 - Spy plane, Counter spy plane, SAM Turret or Sentry Gun
Escort 1 - RC-XD, Care Package, Cobra
Escort 2 - RC-XD, Napalm Strike, Mortar Team
Guard 1 - Spy plane, Sentry Gun, Blackbird
Guard 2 - Spy plane or Sentry gun, Cobra, Blackbird or Dogs

Imagine you lose round 1, but closely, and you have hope... Round 2 begins, and the enemy drops a Cobra, Mortar Team, Blackbird, Dogs, and another Cobra on you within the first 2 minutes of round 2... Hope is gone... That's what an elite team does to others. Elevate hope and then eliminate it completely.

We will not lose if we play smart, stick to our assignments, and communicate!

So very true brando, I am really excited about this Squad. We need to set up practices maybe each day for the next 2 weeks and then we can sign up in Gamebattles or paybackgames.com.

So lets get this thing going everyone!
