Re: Thinking in tickets
I think it was Tartantyco that already said this in this thread but I just wanted to repeat it.
Not knowing the other side's ticket count, in my experience, has led to rounds going to the wire more often. I don't see situations as often where half the team is sitting a main engaging in a huge session of grab a%& because all the tanks are down, the A10 is AWOL and the bunkers are both in MEC hands. Teams tend to keep fighting. I think in tickets and points every round. I do not act as commander very often but do so SL. As a round comes to an end I always try to stay alive unless my team is on a ticket bleed. |

Scandicci and Tartantyco have you thought about trying to play in the Tournament as CO at some point? Think you will experience the game from a new angle so to say if you try it out? | ||

Re: Thinking in tickets
When both teams are equal, maybe it is time to check the scoreboard and be ticket conscious. When you seem to have the advantage, whether it be in flags, or good use of assets, excellent leadership from SLs and so on, you should worry about other things.

Re: Thinking in tickets
I would agree in a Public play context but not in the Tournament context, cause one fortnight after such a battle situation you will face a new battle versus maybe the very same opponent again.

Re: Thinking in tickets
I have never played in a tournament. I think it would be a great experience. Perhaps this summer after my current group of students go back home. Anyway, I rarely go CO as I said before, and before COing for a tourney I would want to practice a lot on pub servers. On those rare occasions when I command I am merely a switchboard. I try to facilitate comms between squads. IMO the CO that yells, talks too much, and gives a bunch of orders is largely ineffectual in PR.

Re: Thinking in tickets
I have found that watching deaths/kills can reveal the other teams ticket state in a rough manner.
The more assets on the map the harder it is to use those numbers but I have also noticed more people calling out destruction of major assets so it is possible to keep a rough count of them as well. I think the CO is most important on the Ins/Taliban maps because players tend to focus on the killing of the enemy rather than the destruction of the caches and that can lead to massive ticket loss. I know as an Ins SL, I have had long firefights at the location of a destroyed cache with the US taking us down 2:1 long after the cache is gone. But I had a real gung-ho squad one time and we fought the US, a full squad with APC support for at least 5 minutes after the cache was gone, eventually IED'ing the parked and 1 manned APC ( crew was joining the inf ). Our Ks were horrible compared to the US but since we don't bleed tickets for lives the whole episode was a total loss for the US. I don't start out giving a lot of orders unless it is the second round with mostly the same people. Then we have some cohesion and it is worth the effort to give all squads orders because 90% will follow them. But most times I just coordinate and as the game goes on and people start to trust the CO, then I give more specific orders although I don't think I have ever yelled as CO. I do type a lot to convey messages I want the whole team to think about but don't want to clog CO or SL channels with. |
