=VG= Murderface0151

you have many ideas, perhaps it is time that you went through some scripting lessons with Sem, Solar or Poff etc

i thought this may be appropriate, a few of the things he says in here rings true on every level. @other mods, delete if you believe inappropriate, you have my blessing. i just thought we may learn some key ideas and methods of thought.

i get my first pay next week, a nice slice of that will be headed to the =VG= coffers. you have my many thanks all people involved in this great establishment

Castor STOP baiting shit. i know for a fact Gaz does not have something against you, sometimes personalities just clash and you need to work together and come to agreements. a good leader is a respected leader, you earn respect by taking care of your men and making sensible decisions, also knowing when and when not to be 'tactical'. nobody mentioned anything about insulting anybody so let's nip that on the bud right away. it is a lot more difficult to maintain correct formation on a 2D screen, focusing on the sthud more just to maintain a formation wouldn't be a good idea in a combat environment. you need those eyes scanning for enemies. i would expect a high majority of the regular Arrowhead players to maintain spacing and some form of a formation. if i were FTL or SQL i would just confirm with a simple "watch your spacing" which should be enough to get the message across. i would rather take too much than too little, you never know what's going to happen, if i have to walk a while so be it. a leader would consult with his men and see which way they would prefer to play the fight, if you have choices you might as well run them past everybody, and through that gain respect and trust within your team. eventually they will follow you into battle no matter your route, but first you must go through that stage of consultation, trust building and earning the respect. if high command says you must take THIS specific route, then so be it - you are all in the same boat. but like i said if you have choices.. obviously somethings gotta give if you believe a "commander" is better than a leader, or if that is your preference. nobody is trying to make anybody look like an idiot as Gaz has already said, nobody is out to get you, don't take these things as a personal attack against you as it's not. it's just a learning process, everybody helps each other out. repetition is key, whenever you are doing anything your brain always gets better at it - FACT. the more we play the better we will get, it's just a matter of being consistent and practicing. usually there isn't enough =VG= members online at any one time to make a proper go at it. 3-4 seems to be quite useless using formations and 'orders'. refer to democratic squad posts. we are experienced players due to the time we have been playing, but usually the mental bandwidth required for operations isn't that high. when we do complex operations or campaigns with several squads involved + all the mods, the mental capability to perform as needed is already there. by the way nobody is raping your comments man, we are just trying to get onto the same page, majority of people feel differently to you (again that is not a personal attack i'm just pointing it out) so why don't we ALL try to change for the better and take on board some of the points we've discussed in this thread. we could all learn a thing or two. lets forget any type of ego right here and now, ego prevents development of the human mind, holds you back. just my somewhat philosophical rant.

i'm with you all the way Gaz. @Castor, Domi is what you make it. whenever i play i play just to chill with friends or have some fun. sometimes after a hard days work all you want to do is relax. at the end of the day i will not follow a leaders commands if i do not respect the way they are making decisions or leading the squad. let me put it another way, i'll follow the team but not the leader. i agree with Gaz 100%, your sentence "DO NOT question your leader!" i find a load of grime. if i were your squad leader and ordered you to run directly towards 2 x HMG nests on high ground with absolutely no cover would you do it?... if a leaders mind can not deliver the guidance a team (made up of very experienced players) requires, then the team will soon supersede the leader and start making their own decisions as they know what is best for them on their level. and just for the record, i would say we are good infantry. it's not about what pattern you stand in, or which gun you choose to wave around, it's about inter-personal team dynamics, without that it will all fall apart. btw @Castor, 68% of all percentages are made up.

Castor =VG= LAN_WROTE ... yeah murder I did not mean that, the thing is I'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to ARMA gameplay. which means that I probably shouldn't come in when you guys are playing Domi/INS or any other game mode that has casual gameplay. I just cant do that, I might just might have 1 day in a month when I want to just goof around but then Ill play on BF3/BF2PR or some other game. also as a note I'm perfectly capable or even willing to work as a grunt but it doesnt feel right if we arent doing it the way I have described before. In my mind ARMA should be played as if we are going into a real fight in future, constantly honing our skills at leading, shooting and teamplay. so what you're saying is you don't want to have any fun with your clan buddies or just getting hours under the belt with people if it isn't done YOUR way? that's a bit ridiculous... sometimes playing the game pisses me off and makes me angry (Lag, bullshit deaths, glitchy/crappy game mechanics (though unusual, and yes i did do brackets inside of brackets.. bracketception) but the latter is rarer than the others) lol, but i don't leave or quit just because it's not going the way i'd like it to go as i appreciate spending time with people i'd consider good friends of mine. plus in a real world situation things will never go the way you want them to. as for your statement with weapons selection, if i feel i'm going to need an M109 for example to death-deal then i'll bloody well take it, i'm not about to put myself or the team at a dis-advantage. there are reasons we take the weapons we do, it's not just "OH YAH I LOVE BIG GUNZ DERP". i take an M109 as it can engage at incredible distances and double as anti vehicle asset as well. we don't haveto do it all by the modern day book of warfare. i'm sure if ISAF forces or any other for that matter had readily available supplies of M109 anti-materiel rifles then they would not think twice of using them effectively. (Again, M109 being an example) i agree with the over usage of CAS, the infantry fight is where it's at. getting into the nitty gritty and showing your capabilities lol. even though i usually get a 7.62 in the kisser. @Calv, i LOVED the campaigns you put together, that is what i feel we should be playing more of. orchestrated assaults with 1 life, which, @Castor would make us focus more and not want to lose our lives. at that stage leadership and good strategy and tactics are needed, nobody wants to lose their only life in the first 10 minutes lol. whereas on Domi or Ins there's respawn which is always subconsciously there and kind of makes you not give a shit sometimes. perhaps we need to put together some Campaigns like Calv made for us.

yeah because without a leader i cant think and decide for myself, my brain shuts down and i am physically incapable of making any decisions without someone there holding my hand. wtf... we're all adults here so lets treat each other like it lol. if there's just 4-5 of us in a Domi or Ins then there's no point in having a leader as the chances are everybody already knows the drill and can handle themselves and look out for their battle buddies. working without a leader sometimes works a lot better, more minds for decision making and ideas, and the stress of giving orders and deciding what to do and where to go under pressure. like Gaz said i have no problem being in a democratically ran squad - i know and respect the clan members and i won't condescend or patronize them with un-needed, orders. and if there was a leader to be present i'd want a straight vote for it, nobody self electing.

thanks for the good feedback man, glad to have you in there

hey guys, just finished my first "proper" video for Arrowhead and just wanted to post it in a thread for feedback and also so more people can see it, trying to spread VG around a bit more on the youtube side of things, so if you have 2 minutes give it a watch and see what you think. or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXyQUPicBNw

how would you remedy that?

got rats? check integrity of any outdoor cable if there is any, i had a problem similar - except for longer durations . most likely it won't be that but couldn't hurt to take a look see

Domi all the way, we need bulk players on that to unlock the true potential of multiple assets + ground forces :D
