This thread will also be a 'work in progress'. Besides Jarrod's post about general COD4 play on open servers (which is very important and I expect all [grrr] COD4 players to adhere to), I wanted to start a post on clannie SOP. (Some of this might seem obvious, but yeah read it anyway!!!
)1. Calling. We all know by now that calling in game is very important. Kev has already gave us 'congrats' on our calling with being a new team and all. However, I want to point out where we can improve:
a) If you die, you should call out where you died and if possible name the position of the attacker with very short, precise comms. (I know this isn't easy as I often die w/out even seeing the oke, but we must try!) Example: I'm down at LightHouse, sniper at Blue Room.
b) If you kill someone and survive. Example: "Enemy Nick/role aka SMG" down at Wooden Stairs.
c) Taking enemy fire, you don't die and didn't kill them, but know their position. Example: Taking fire, Sniper Blue Room top floor.
d) You observe enemy movement towards a certain area of the map. Example: Two okes moving towards Garage on Main Street.
2. When to rush:
a) We're on Defense. You're the last man standing. Bomb is planted. We only then have 30 seconds to defuse. GET MOVING! (With care of course!) It takes 7 seconds to defuse a bomb. Remember: even if you take out all of their defenders and the bomb is planted, you still must defuse the bomb. If not, they still win! Also keep in mind, Defence = Camping! Do not be very aggressive. If it is 1 v 1 and the bomb hasn't been planted, play for time! Do all you can to stay alive while getting that timer to count down.
b) We're on Attack. You're the last man standing. Bomb is laying wherever. Time is counting down... GET MOVING! Kev can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it takes 5 seconds to plant. However, that being said, if we're on attack... its 1 v 1, if u can take out the other guy, then do so. If we kill all defenders, we win the round.
3. Spamming through walls: This is a big one that I am also battling to remember since I'm used to BF2. YOU CAN SHOOT THROUGH WALLS! If you know an oke is hiding behind a wall, spam whilst in scoped view. You'll be surprised at how many kills you can get that way. On the other hand, remember that hiding behind walls does not mean you are safe! Blue fridges are spam proof.
4. Kill/shots fired, then you must move position! Remember, once you fire, you are a big 'red-dot' beacon on the mini-map. They WILL find you if you stay in the same spot. Also, if you are aiming at a guy and trying to kill him, keep watching your back. Their comrade will try to flank you, thinking you are too busy trying shooting their friend. It is wise to be in a position/find cover that does not expose you to too many lines of fire.
5.This ties in with point 4 above: We will obviously have opening moves. However, if you keep going to the same spot, they will catch on. Try to vary your position as to not be predictable.
6. When 'camping' on defense or covering a planted bomb, make sure you are not covering the same position as your teammate. For example, if they are facing east, you must face west.
7. To help with all of the above, keep an eye on your mini-map!
