Communication
The other day I was playing a control point map, the sort where red defends and blu attacks. I was on red playing a heavy, and trying desperately to help hold points. After a short while though, we’d been forced back to our last point, and were trying in vain to hold off the majority of the enemy forces. I was getting frustrated that no one was trying to relay information about who was coming from where, or anything like that. So I asked, “Why isn’t anyone talking?” to which I got the response, “You don’t need to when defending.”
This is where I disagree; you totally need to communicate whether you’re attacking or defending.
The only way a team can assemble against a threat is through communication. No one is psychic; I’m not going to know exactly where an enemy player is going to come through, and if you don’t tell people something along the lines of “Yo dawg, there be soldiers in our intel. Ya dig? Fo’shizzle.” or even just “soldier, intel.”, nobody else will know either.
It doesn’t matter what team you’re on; if you’re not communicating as a team, you have a bigger chance of failing.
