The game’s the single best multiplayer experience I’ve ever had, as long as you aren’t surrounded by “lol so random look at my funny mic guys”. I can safely tell you that there is no single comparative experience of strategically planning the match and then tactically wiping the entire team by leapfrogging objectives. Shit is literal heroin
Here are a few tips for you if you are new and care to learn:
•always hold your spawn when you join a squad at start of game. SLs are planning in a separate channel and so you might be fucking shit up by not being able to wait for instructions like a child
•make sure your name is clean and pronounceable in English, preferably max 2 syllables. This will massively help team mates talk to you when under fire
•learn your role, there’s actually a combat meta game based on suppression mechanics (surpress-move-kill-repeat). This means that if you’re a AR (machine gunner) you shouldn’t be breaching, you should have your bipod set up to lay down fire if needed
•bind the following to your mouse if you can: Local VoIP first and foremost, Squad VoIP second. Always talk in Local, enemies can’t hear you talk either way
•learn to call out enemies fast so the squad can be informed of what’s going on. Here’s a good standard way: “contact 2 infantry, 240 degrees, 100 meters out”. ALWAYS call out enemies before you shoot so people know what the fuck you’re doing
•pro tip, the degree wheel works like this - 0/360 degrees = North, 180 = South, 90 = E and 270 = W. Keep looking at it periodically so you instinctively know what direction you’re facing
•don’t always fire upon contact, sometimes it’s better to hold for a stronger attack later.
•check the map (M / enter / Caps Lock) at least every 10th min so you know what’s going on on a larger scale
Ask if you want more. Been playing this since V9, 2017. Nickname is Howie & I almost exclusively play SL - let me know if we’ve played together
