Great Post Delta. The comms come and go for some reason but whenever they are there people seem to do better. I also think that the game is more enjoyable when I hear what is going on elsewhere on the map. So even if I'm sitting at boring old alpha picking my nose with a grenade pin I can know whats happening on Bravo. Heres a couple pointers for those of you that don't seem to know what to talk about or when to say it.

1. Any Contacts- These can be visually seeing a person in a room or getting shot at from
rooftop above alpha.

Example: 'Contacts crossing road. 3 going to alpha. 1 sniper ran into back
house'


2.Enemy Down- When you kill someone let people know where he/she was. This can be
helpfull in many ways. If I'm pinned down by a sniper and someone kills him
I don't want to stay hiding behind my rock I wanna get back out there.

Example: 'Tango down back of DVD shop'


3.Where you are Taking the bomb- This one seems the most obvious on the surface but is
the most often screwed up comms that we get in game.
When you pick up the bomb remember that you just
became the squadleader and are expected to act as
such. You need to pick a site, A route to get there,
Where you would like your teammates to go, and if
comms tells you that you plan is FUBAR then its your
job to get a regroup and reformulate your plan. Most
just pick up the bomb and yell A or B. This is the bare
minimum and not very tactical. In the following example
you can do this on the run or you can sit back and
formulate your plan. Get creative it makes the game
more enjoyable.

Example: 'Taking the bomb Alpha. I need one Sniper in
Flowershop stopping them from flanking
across the road. 2 people to go thru cafe
and clear the back alley. The rest on me up
the middle thru courtyard.'


4.Let your Positions be heard- We can all see that you just got your head blown
off by Mose's deagle but what we can't see is
Where he killed you at. When you leave spawn and
pick your position please state your name and
defensive location. Most of the time your voice
will be recognized but some of us sound alike so
a name always helps. We can't remember all the
locations of 11 guys every time but if we do then
your death just gave us an edge that we didn't
have before. This also applies to change of
defensive location, entering buildings or open areas.

Example: 'Striker60 breaching back side of bravo'


5.Clearing- Once an area is deemed free of Enemie Combatants then let your teammates
know it.

Example: ' Alpha House Second Floor all clear'


6.Reporting In- Not alot of people use this but it can be helpfull. If your sitting somewhere
and you get no activity let us know. If I don't hear that Alpha is clear every
once and awhile and I'm guarding middle I tend to look over to alpha more
often than needed wondering if the guys that were there are dead or got
up and went elsewhere.

Example: 'Alpha House still clear. No contact yet.'


There are tons of reasons to communicate and only one reason not to. So if you happen to meet the sharp end of a 7.62 lets all hope you told us where we can find your corpse(and the enemy).
