Right, so the Battlefield 2 AGASA competition is around the corner. SSG has decided on the two teams that we will be putting forward and have for the past 2 weeks now, been practising together on one of the clan servers provided by SGS/AGASA/Telkom. Obviously because of the new additions, learning each others game play styles is crucial to playing well together.  Although some may think this is just a game, and shouldn’t be taken so seriously, but if you want to win, you need to dedicate yourself to learning the strategies and understanding teamwork. Playing BF2 on any normal server with any bunch of random players is very different when you only have 4 control points and 8 players per side. Each player has a specific task they need to carry out for the duration of the game, either Tank driver, mechanic to repair the tank, medic to keep your squad alive and a few others to help bring down the enemy armour and infantry. This can get quite intense especially when the game isn’t going your way, and if you don’t take control of your necessary points in a timely fashion, you will lose and lose quickly as well.

The general team makeup consists of 1 commander, 2 squads. 1 tank squad which will consist of a mechanic and a tank driver, possibly one other player to drive the APC, depending on the map. The other squad will consist of the remaining teammates who will make up the infantry division. The infantry needs to be very pro-active in terms of taking out the enemy and capturing opposing points, communicating constantly over Teamspeak with the rest of the team, they can update others on enemy positions and movements. Without this communication each player will effectively be battle blind and wont know where to turn when the bullets start flying. The primary function of the armour squad is to keep their armour occupied for the duration of the game, preventing enemy armour from taking out friendly infantry and then moving onto capture our primary points. The commander has one of the most crucial roles to play, which he can only accomplish if his squads listen to his orders and follow through with them. The commander has the ability to spot enemies as well as dropping Artillery on their positions and supply crates for friendlies. Together the above roles form a very dynamic team which should be able to effectively neutralize the enemy.
