Great game SS! The weak links performed tonight! Rothroq made himself eligible at the last second to fill our ranks and came through with defensive over watch! So thank you Rothroq! Me being on a different tv didn't help but going 12/10 on one round says I'm full of shit on that one. Had I been on my home tv I likely would have played more aggressively.
Whatever. Great game everyone! Looking forward to more. We agreed to a protocol for notifying the team for GB's on the immediate horizon. We agree to give me phone numbers so I can text team members when we get requests for up to a day in advance. Otherwise, I will continue to post accepted challenges here that are more than a day or two out. I will do my best to keep it simple and summarized. MLG team members can either pm me your number for texting, or send me a message on MLG. |

We got raped by Organized Chaos last night, but we only lost 8 XP points.
There are two standing challenges for this evening. 8pm EDT - Soldiers of Honor - currently 53rd and on a 6 game losing streak. Doesn't look like they have played in a couple of weeks though, so we'll see if they accept. 9pm EDT - 11B Infantry - currently 60th, 1 game loss streak. These guys are more likely to accept than SoH. See interested and/or available parties this evening. I will be on by 7pm EDT latest for public warm-up games. Out. |
|
2 things:
1. Make sure you associate your MLG account with your XboxLIVE Gamertag. 2. Send me a friend request on MLG - MLGid is SaloSV I will add you to the roster. BTW, I do believe we were THE first team to register for Spring 2012. Team nMe was the second. They beat us, so now they are 1st, and we are 2nd.... in the world. Enjoy it while you can.
Tentaive GB Sunday evening at 8pm EDT/7pm CDT. I was expecting to see a challenge from a team, but i haven't seen one yet. |

GB with Team Vizions @ 8pm EDT tonight.
I have loose challenges for two other teams this evening. If we have time, we might want to consider them. When I spoke to those teams, I didn't have the previously promised challenge yet from Vizions, so I told them to hang loose until we hear. Now we have scheduled with Vizions, so the others may happen, may not. See everyone later. |

Tonight's match was canceled. 4 other GB's scheduled for this week.
Xit Woundz SSG - pparkyy's team Match ID:31124429 Status:Scheduled Date & Time:Mon 2 Apr 2012, 8:00 PM EDT SodaPopBoyz - the one team we beat in Winter 2012 season Match ID:31128786 Status:Scheduled Date & Time:Wed 4 Apr 2012, 9:00 PM EDT Team Vital Match ID:31121977 Status:Scheduled Date & Time:Fri 6 Apr 2012, 8:00 PM EDT Dogs of War Gaming-US - no current intel on this team Match ID:31128847 Status:Scheduled Date & Time:Mon 9 Apr 2012, 6:30 PM EDT Note: This time was a little early for the team's taste, so I have requested a cancellation to move to a later hour - same day. |

We went 0-2 last night against Exit Woundz SSG and Ballistic Warfare.
One VERY good lesson on comms! Note how things breakdown at the last second for the attackers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKqDiZP96WQ&feature=related Practice for Wednesday has been moved to this evening @ 8pm EDT, due to the fact that we have a scheduled GB on Wed against the one team we did beat last season. Notes for practice: We figured out fairly quickly that the walk-throughs are very time consuming, and people get bored quickly. So I'd like to change the structure a little bit so folks can have some fun. Lets go ahead and play from the start, but do two things: 1. be aware of confusion - if you have trouble calling out enemy locations, you need to work on that. make a mental note of the spot you stumbled on, and we will discuss it as a team and come up with something. There is almost no location on any map that can't be explained in two words or less. 2. accuracy - we have a problem with it. Even our best shooters are finding themselves being out shot. Even with our real weapons, we would all likely agree that the best way to get better at using that weapon is to train in the scenario in which you plan on using it. For your CQB guns, that means a carbine class or private range that allows for that kind of activity. For long range, that means shooting long range as much as you can. In game, the best opportunity for long range shooting is firing from spawn (either at the beginning of a game or very shortly thereafter). I'm not talking about sniping, since we all know there isn't much room for that in Squad Rush, but when you're playing public games, be working on that. Doesn't matter what game mode you play in public games, just make a choice. "I'm going to shoot long/medium range today." Pay attention to the video above and note how/where he shoots in different scenarios. 3. using cover - make a habit of it. Do you die a lot? You're not using cover enough, or you aren't aware of your surroundings. We played a few rounds of Team Deathmatch after our GB's last night, and initially I sucked at this game. Once I figured out how to use cover more effectively, I then proceeded to rival K/D's of Kapture, getting MVP or MVP2 for 4 or 5 games in a row. Yes, it happened after everyone left for the night, so call me a liar if you want. But I impressed my little self, and learned a valuable lesson. There is ample evidence of the effectiveness of this knowledge in the video above as well. Resist the instinct to rush out and rambo, thinking "I'll just out shoot them." No you won't. Taking cover during reloads was a HUGE factor in this effectiveness, as was darting away upon first getting shot. A focus for official team practices might be - defending without being seen, meaning, every shot you take is from inside a window/door or from behind a wall or other object - but also, fluid movement. There is that split second upon hearing a 320 pop to when it actually hits, and you CAN get away from it. You might take damage, the ripple effects of surviving a first shot encounter should be obvious, especially when backed up by a quick reaction retaliation. Apply that to CQB as well and see how it works for you. Salo out. |

These are the new patch notes for the patch that came out today, Almost all the weapons have been changed in one way or another. We need to play a lot right now to get used to the changes and have an advantage in the coming matches. |

Came across some GBers randomly yesterday that absolutely destroyed my team with those. I honestly don't think I ever used that one before. |

I didn't like the AN-94 pre-patch, but now that they upped the initial recoil of pretty much all the weapons, the 2 round burst still hits in the exact same hole. So 2 rounds >1 round in the same area. Just gotta get used to the burst. |

Need team name suggestions for the Rush/Conquest ladder. Looking to create a team for that today.
My thoughts: AR15 1st MEU - MEU stands for Marine Expeditionary Unit. Here is a wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_expeditionary_unit Subsequent teams that grow beyond the 24 man roster limit can be called the AR15 2nd MEU, 3rd MEU, so on and so forth. AR15 1st MARDIV - same concept, except MARDIV stands for Marine Division AR15 1st Battalion - same concept AR15 1st Platoon - same concept, but doesn't traditionally incorporate the air elements like the concept of a MEU does. Same applies to Battalion above. AR15 MEUSOC From the wiki on MEU: Special operations capable certification exercise (CERTEX or SOCCEX); prior to deployment, the MEU receives certification as special operations capable and then referred to as a "MEU (SOC)". There is very little within the capability of a MEU (SOC) that meets the level of special operations practiced by United States Special Operations Command, but instead refers to the ability of the MEU to perform missions outside that of the traditional missions of its component units. AR15 MARSOC - Marine Special Operations Command As we have seen, the game is obviously centered around SOC capable units. So that's where my head went when coming up with these suggestions. Input is welcome. Also, we need to discuss as a team about the idea of allowing non-arfcomers on. I'm getting requests from some players who would clearly be good assets if we are recruiting. DarkestRequiem played for a while with us last night, and carried us for the most part. After last night's loss to Young Tiger, I think it may be in our best interest to at least discuss this. Naturally, the first question out of my mouth is "do you own ANY gun?" If their answer is yes, I encourage them to register here. Certainly makes me feel a lot better about allowing them on the roster. One option is to simply allow them to play a GB with us (off the roster), since all but the top teams are bringing in non-rostered players. Young Tiger had 2, and I think that's what changed the game for them. Salo out. |

I'm going to split the difference in team names and say KEEP the AR15 and ADD the Joint something...
As for recruiting... I am open to it, some of the guys that get brought in are great players. I thought all teams need to have roster players, or does it not even matter if your not playing for the playoffs? Personally I don't have much respect for that kinda crap... a team is a team, not every Tom, Dick and Harry playing under one guys team name. If that's the case can we rent a Vital or Ponie?? LMAO, until we move up the ladder... |

I didn't think of Joint Task Force, Loki. You did. No need to be a dick about it. I kind of like the sound of it, honestly. And not to discredit the Spetznaz, but we aren't communists. That's why I didn't come up with that name.
Next time, please organize your thoughts around it and make suggestion, not an accusation. AR15 Joint Task Force - it's mature, doesn't leave a lot of room for ribbing (unless you look at the fact that we haven't been much of a "force" to be reckoned with lately), and encompasses the service history our membership base. Anyone oppose or have any other creative ideas? Flakes, I'm hearing you on the roster issue. UnifiedReign has joined up, welcome! Nice work on the proofs. I like the bottom one best. Could you make it so we have a straight on view of the controller, with the Arfcom logo as the Xbox button, and maybe "AR15" on top and "super squad" on bottom? something like that? If not, no biggie. |

Joint Task Force is fine, it's already on the banner (which took me a while a to create and don't feel like doing again) and the teams have been created.... segue to:
Conquest Competition! As we have seen, ladders for 8v8 Rush and 12v12 Conquest have been created in MLG, but no matches have taken place or the ladders aren't open yet. You may have heard me mention a different competition site FRAGGEDNATION (FN), so for now do the following: Go here and create an account: http://www.fraggednation.com Here are the rules, it's a long read and you don't have to know everything. These are general rules, each ladder will have their own specific rules. http://www.fraggednation.com/rules.php On FN, they separate the concepts of clans and teams. I have created the "Arfcom" clan, basically works like a community. Not sure yet if this is really needed since we already have ar15.com available to us. But it is there if we decided we need it. I have created both teams: AR15 Super Squad - for small unit play AR15 Joint Task Force - for large unit play I have enrolled the JTF in the only public Conquest ladder that existed. Teams can be anywhere in size from 8 to 12 according to current ladder rules. Here we can actually create private ladders and invite teams to play, and even password protect them, but from what I've seen so far there is very little interest in those. This site is a much friendlier place to browse than MLG. It still contains a ton of information, but it is easier to find and easier to understand, complete with wizards and everything. |

GB vs. Evolution has a cancellation request in, mainly because I didn't notice it was set for 5:15pm EDT. No go for most of us.
Team nMe wants to do an 8v8, so we might try that out tonight. Not specific to Rush/Conquest just yet, and no official challenge has been submitted. |
