Even More MultiPlayer Q&A
Q: How Can I practice "Teamwork", every time I stop to type, I get shot?
A: The 64 millisecond Question, (Time for virtual bullet to enter Typists head). The answers are probably as numerous as teams. But here are a few answers. The first two, although simple, only works with people you know (A team!). Just use your Go-Codes (Alpha through Delta), and assign meanings to them. I use different sound files, and mine (if you have same ones) sound like A = "Hold up" , B = "Make Way", C = "Fire in the Hole" D = "Need Some Help". Quite a bit of info, for jut 4 keys, huh? 2nd, Make plans. Alex Ryko has some excellent blueprints of the Maps, that you can draw arrows and lines (Bob goes in this door @ "Alpha") on and send to each other. Then for those who disdain teams and real teamwork, there is "Technology".. Battlecom and Roger Wilco have 2 way radios for the internet that work with R6. You still have to agree to use them and set up a channel (minimal teamwork), but it allows "On the Fly" strategy. Bad News, they take bandwith. I will be conducting an in-depth Commo test Soon, and will have MY opinions of these programs available for review soon.
