    Team Practice

    Alot of the folks have had a chance to experience the games ins and outs as well as most all of the maps. I would love to get some practice nights going even if its only 5 or 6 of us to start.

    I say we use the AK unranked server and practice against bots for the first few nights just so we can easily move through each map and share deployable locations, defense positions, attack points etc. Create the teams setup for each map as well as practice Strogg and GDF. We could spend the next 3-4 weeks and still be working through the 12+ maps for each team before we move from the bots to the ranked servers.

    I am currently flexible time wise so i was hoping to see folks post what nights and times were good for them if there were planning on participating in the TWL

    West Coasters really take a hit with anytime. So while I'd love to join in, I can't get on until after 6pm Pacific and not guarantee anytime until after 8pm Downer I know, but I'll show up when ever I can.

    I'll be out of town for work for the next few weeks, so weekends would really work best, but that's just me. Not sure if it will run well on hotel internet. =(

    Count me in though for weeknights once I get back!

    How about Thursdays at 9PM? Thursdays seemed to have worked well with most folks and 9PM gives the west coasties time to get home from work and have some dinner.

    I'm flexible but weekends tend not to be good for me. I'd definitely be able to do Thursdays at 9.

    Thursdays at 9:00 it is then.

    Should be fun. Squid, Gunny, and Beast got to play around with my Strat for the Volcano Map being Strogg.

    We had the console hacked well before any of the charges blew on the front walls. Few minutes later we had the charges planted on the shield generator, and made quick work of the power core after.

    Volcano feels like one of the hardest maps for Strogg, I think, and a handfull of [AK]ers made short work of it.

    I'm a self-centered bastid, so I always assume times are Eastern unless otherwise specified.

    Seriously, though, anything much later 9 Eastern will put a cramp in how long I can stay.

    I have the admin power; I just need to learn how to wield it by then. Stay tuned to the private forum for the server password; I'm going to lock it down today.

    Thursday at 9 works for me.

    Given the phased nature of the objectives in QW, it's really a different situation in planning a strat than it used to be in games like BF1942 or Desert Combat.

    On a defensive map, each objective is a set piece, and as each one falls, a team has to fall back and set up the next segment. In a perfect world (on defense), the team would know what kit to spawn as, where to place turrets, where to squat or patrol with vehicles, priorities to repair, etc.

    On an offensive map, coordination is going to be key. Timing objective runs with hacking and artillery. Suppressing reinforcements with armor, aircraft, and snipers. Proper use of medics. Each segment of a map will require a different squad mix.

    Should be interesting.
