Current style of play: Lone Wolfing, Last Man Standing & Soloist...
If any of those techniques are in your kit bag as a method to play...
REMOVE THEM NOW!
The server is by all accounts setup and maintained as the TG PRIMER states for MATURE TEAM BASED TACTICAL PLAY. Those 3 labeled play styles do not fit the PRIMER and do not belong here on this server or any TG server for that matter!
I have witnessed an alarming increase of those types of play and will be using the Warn, Kick, Kick for Time, Ban admin approach to deal with this behavior.
Understandably there are certain tactics for each kit/class loadout which I will give my .2 cents in just a moment but I wanted to also bring to light that the games are not 2 minutes long. The timer has 8 minutes on it and I have been in game when an entire team was eliminated in the first minute. That is either from poor planning or careless behavior. I am fully aware the map sizes and all of their limitations! TRUST ME! That is why the lines have been drawn to allow the OFFENSE the time to setup a plan and to move somewhat freely to a particular point on the map till they are engaged by enemy.
Each Class has its own roles and I want to add my thoughts here:
SNIPERS:
They are not rushers! They are not to be used on the front lines! They are stealthy and silent and are meant to take targets out from a far. As attackers they are best used to cover flanks or to target the main avenue of approach for the main body. If they continue to be the last man standing then it might be time to rethink your abilities as a sniper because your not helping the team at all. Best way to kill as sniper is with a sniper! This tactic is great for both sides and also makes for long drawn out maps that end up with players wondering if the snipers are just looking for kills or looking for revenge kills so try not to make this a habit here. The roles of the sniper are clearly defined for Offense as support the bomb carrier and then defend the bomb site. As far as Defense its to defend the bomb site or to cover the flanks. Again, if your sprinting into the fray as a sniper your a soloist or a lone wolf looking for kills. If your the last one on your team as a sniper every time then your not a very good sniper and you might want to change your kit/class. Also another invaluable task the sniper provides is to pinpoint enemy locations by in game VOIP and to pass those locations to the rest of the team. Because the sniper has the best scope available to them they can pinpoint enemy from afar and then relay that information to the main body or also the the scouts to ensure a successful operation. Again this task works for both sides.
ASSAULT:
These guys are the bulk of the force and are good at mid-far range engagements in support of the either the SNIPER or the AMBUSH class. They are the best all round Class and can be used effectively to counter every threat on the map. This class should be one carrying the bomb and calling the shots. This class shouldnt be rushing to an objective but rather moving up by bounding overwatch and listening the the AMBUSH and SNIPERS for routes and contact reports that goes for both Offense and Defense.
AMBUSH:
Quick class to lead the charge! As far as defense these guys should be the ones putting countermeasures to defend the bomb and be the early scout/recon to identify enemy locations and movement. As far as Offense these guys should be leading the charge under cover of smoke and engaging the countermeasures and scouting enemy locations and then securing the bomb site.
GUNNER:
Suppression at near and mid range. These guys rushing is just plain wrong. Best role is for defense on the flanks next to a SNIPER or augmenting an AMBUSH on the bomb site.
DEMO:
Least used class on server! Highly effective on small indoor maps. Not effective on open aired maps! Great class to clear rooms and augment the AMBUSH class. Rushing with this class is full on RUN & GUN is NOT allowed here. But can be a great way to practice twitch shooting on regular pub servers.
With that information spotting Lone Wolfing, Last Man Standing or Soloist will be easier for all to see and will be easier to remove those players from the server. This is a team based server. Work as a team! Use all 8 minutes on the clock to accomplish your mission! The round limit isnt a sprint it is a marathon! Take your time, communicate with your team and enjoy your time on the server.

Excellent post Hazzy!
One of my biggest gripes about Snipers is that they don't support the movements of their team. Just because you're in the back picking off oponents doesn't mean you're not lone-wolfing.
Support your team!
Good stuff Haz

I agree that a copy of this should be stickied and included as required reading.
Darn, they wouldn't let me give rep for this twice.

Snipers should also spot targets for the rest of the teams approach or layers of defense. Example on Bloc me yesterday. "1 enemy contact bottom Alpha burning side" "1 enemy contact bottom Alpha burning side" (same guy) taking shot and elimnated enemy opposition. I exhausted every option before taking the shot cause once you shoot youre compromised we all know that and often my bad habit now since playing on PUB servers is not moving after my shot or waiting to long.
Sorry I only play Hardcore!

Pain and suffering are inevitable, misery is not!

Roger will be moving this up soon!
Also a new stick for FAQs has been posted for review.
I agree to this too but I didnt want the loop hole of "I was reconnoitering for my team on the front line when I eliminated the threats with my trusty Barrett on scroll fire." I will edit and make it fit to scratch your itch.
