The Correct Mindset

Deterhek · 10-29-2009, 12:11 AM

I, and I'm sure many others, believe that having the correct mindset going into combat is a very, very important thing. Even more important than having finely tuned soldier skills, such as quick reflexes, fast trigger fingers, etc. I found this guide through another post and thought it worthy of its own thread.

Guide

Note 1: The author mentions that bunnyhopping is okay, but in the TG community we all know that this is illegal on our servers, so disregard that part.
Note 2: Warning! This guide is very, very, very long.

The correct mindset is a learning one. No-one started this (or any other) game with a 3-4 K/D ratio in every match they played. A certain amount we learn ourselves just by playing the game without even thinking (knowledge of the maps knowledge of equipment the best way of shooting) and this is how you become a decent player. Sooner or later though, you'll hit a wall, and the only way to get even better is to actively go and learn, and then implement the things you've learned, because being rocketed out of the same area over and over again is not learning.

The 2 places to learn is from yourself and from others. Learning from yourself is all about realising what you're doing wrong and why it's wrong, and then trying to correct it, then looking at what works, why it works, and how you can apply this success to other situations.

Learning from others is just about being receptive, look at what your SL does, why they do it, and why it works. This is why it's great to have an SL who constantly verbalises their thoughts and the reasons behind their actions. This is why I thoroughly enjoy being in Zhohar's squad, not only does he do a great job of leading, he does a great job of teaching, and I've learnt so much from him and others. But again, not only learn from their successes, learn from their failures, and try to see why it didn't work.

Edit: HA! So I click on the article and the first subheading is "Learning", LoL!

Edit 2: I just realised that this post is a less eloquently worded version of this. I have no originality

Hey anyone else happen to notice that he has Crux's guides featured on his page , not by linking to the TG posts but by blatant copyright infringement!! Crux I smell a big fat lawsuit waiting to happen, you are all but rich now!

I found these TG guides through a link on EG’s website. Very good for players who have experience but are wondering how there are still players who are better. This was done by Crux, who I don’t know personally. I’d rather pick guides from player I know, however, this is very good.

A list of different guides put up by Tactical Gamer can be found using the link above. Great stuff from a great clan with many skilled players.

It's just weird to see TG quoted or linked to somewhere else on the interwebs. It's like when you see a member of your family somewhere in the outside world, that you usually only see at home

Wait, on EG's website??? Who/what is EG ??

Empire Gaming - I believe they visited quite a while ago looking for a small-scale scrimmage with any of our IHS's.

.eG. is currently competing in the active BFCL 6v6 Infantry competition, along with a few of the TG IHS's. They also have an active group in the TWL 5v5 ladder, and ongoing Final tournament.
