I know that in real life, the American armed forces might not take their roles this litterally, but seeing as how we are playing a game, and in the interest of teamwork, I have put together position charts to help players understand the in-game roles of each of the different classes. THESE IN NO WAY ARE MEANT TO SIMULATE REAL WORLD CONDITIONS!!!! These are, however, meant to simulate GR world conditions.

TacticalGamer has set up the different classes to have different limitations and strenghts and in doing so promote teamwork among the players. As such, each class must know the role they need to play in each game for the greatest chance of success.

While I know some members of the community wish to see GR a picture-perfect depiction of real life, this scenario is not only unlikely to happen, but is an unrealistic option since real world conditions will not be able to be depicted until VR is more of a reality.

SO, for those who would like a better understanding of the roles each class plays IN THE CURRENT TG GR SETUP and without further adue or introduction, please accept the following for your consideration:


Sniper:

I am not a rifleman. I do not run point.
I do not clear rooms.
I will never run as scout.
I have my place. It is in the back making the long, one shot kills.
I am invisible because I am not there.
I am lethal because I am patient.
I will never have the most kills, but I will have the highest kill/hit/shot ratio.
I do not need extra ammo. I need only one shot.
My reach is long and my aim is true.
I am a sniper and I know my job.

While some of these are pretty much the way things have to be all the time, there are quite a few that are more for ideal full team setups. Obviously, a recon specialist CAN play rifleman if needed, and rifleman CAN play mout if needed, etc, but the point here is if you have one of each position available to you, the correct man for the job should be selected. Hopefully this will help some players understand a little better what choosing each position SHOULD mean while playing at TG and help them fulfill that role a little better from that knowledge. This should be considered a tool for understanding how TG has set up the different classes and how they should be utilized for maximum effectiveness.
