I mentioned a few of these things on Teamspeak, but I'll list them again here. I've included several links to SOPs originally written for Ghost Recon, but which can apply equally as well to the way we play Call of Duty 2. These apply to both movement and radio discipline.


- On V2 Rocket Facility and other maps that involve a breach into a heavily defended area, multiple entry teams seem to work well. Have three or four teams move quietly to different doors, and then wait until everyone is in position before breaching. The key is to breach all at one time (preferably under cover of smoke), so make sure everyone smokes and breaches simultaneously. This forces the defenders to split their focus among multiple targets, and the smoke obscures their lines of fire. There must be tight coordination for this to work successfully.

- Like Bubba said above, make sure to leave some space between team members when moving through tight quarters. If the lead person in the team has to retreat quickly, he doesn't want to be bumping into a friendly immediately behind him.

- When there are a lot of people on a team, radio discipline becomes very important. When too many people are talking at once, instructions and reports can get lost in the confusion, and then coordination goes out the window. Keep radio traffic short and concise. For simple affirmative responses, type the letters CC instead of saying "Roger" or "Copy" over VOIP. Also, for simple position reports, type something like "at B covering east" instead of saying it over VOIP. Make sure you're using your TEAM chat key so that only your team sees this communication!

- Be sure to report enemy contacts to your team. Give compass directions, and try to make them relative to common fixed points (such as the objectives). For example, instead of saying "enemies to the left," say "contacts, two, directly southeast of B, moving west." This is much more descriptive, and it immediately lets your entire team know the location of these contacts.

- Fire discipline is important, and can mean the difference between surprising the enemy or being surprised by the enemy.
