Team Slayer Common Mistakes

This entry is designed to highlight some of the most common mistakes made by players, especially in team slayer objective games.

• Throwing grenades at an enemy with your own team mates near by.
  
  

I see this happening all the time and it is by far one of the WORST things you can do. Although your team mate might be close to winning the battle, if your grenade kills your team mate accidentally the enemy will get the kill. It is very difficult especially with non pro's to determine exactly where your grenade is going to land and who it is going to affect. Assisting your team mate with your battle rifle is a much better plan.

• Not sticking together

There is a reason the game is called "TEAM Slayer". You are supposed to work as a team and stick with your team. You always get the guy in every game that thinks hes Tony Montana or something and runs in for the 4v1 and gets owned. Your not doing your team any good there Scarface, stick to lone wolves.

• Not communicating

If you ever want to get above captain in Team Slayer your going to need to invest $15.00 in a microphone. Information such as the enemies location, what weapons they have, where your flag is currently located is all crucial to the outcome of a round and if your not getting that information to your team mates then your really at a disadvantage. You need to work together as a team and formulate plans, rather than just running in and hoping for the best.

• Think how to benefit the team, and not yourself.

There's a player named Deadlyx8Sniper on your team, you know you're not any good with the sniper and yet you still go and rush for it anyways. Or its a game of capture the flag, and your riding around in a ghost just splattering everybody. At the end of the day, no one cares about your vehicular manslaughter when you've lost. Talk to your team mates, see if anyone needs help. If someone tells you that they're an excellent gunner, take a turn driving. Simple things like that can make all the difference and when everyone is utilizing their strengths you will have a very powerful team.

• Not learning from your mistakes

Let me quote Albert Einstein, "Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result". If the opposing team has fortified themselves in an area, and you rushed in once guns blazing and died miserably, how do you figure something different will happen the next time you do this? I see this happening all the time. Stop, take some time to think, talk it over with your team mates and come up with a solid plan and then rush back in.
