    Organizing into groups

    So, this is just an idea. With so many people in the Elite Clan, would it be a benefit, or even possible to organize into small kill teams based on individual playability? For example, matching run-n-gun folks up with people that usually snipe would provide sufficient coverage of kill zones as well as area denial. It's just an idea, but with so many people in the clan and the face that most people will never play with everyone, it gives the opportunity to create a small squad, assign cover areas, learn each others strengths and weaknessess, and hopefully wreck some havok in battle.

    Thoughts?

    Hypothetically it would be a good idea, if we were more hardcore and actually did have squads and such. Since we don't, there isn't much purpose.......though you do tend to pick up on those things when you play together with the same people.

    It would depend on how many people are wanting to play together and in what game modes. We might have 15 people on, but only 7 or 8 want to play the same game mode. If it was one of those times when we had 12 people all wanting to play together, then it sounds like a good idea. Other times I don't think we would have enough people to warrant it.

    Good point, but I was thinking more along the lines when clan ops takes hold. I have no clue what to expect with clan ops, but I'm guessing it will be something along the lines of game battles mixed with challenges and stuff. I don't know it was just a thought...

    Ah, clan ops...when we see them this might be a good idea. Who knows when they will start up? Not when they say they will for sure...

    Well I'm sure the clan ops will be certain modes like lonewolf so if they do not wan to participate then it may tend to be a problem. I forgot who it was but we mentioned non premium members helping as well, although THEIR scores will not count, they will be there supporting.

    As far as playing with everyone I send invites out all the time and always end up playing with the same people and do fairly decent. I like the group I play with becuse of the communication.

    That makes sense, maybe because I am still new to the clan I haven't had a chance to play with everyone to find out who I mesh with better. So far I have played with havok and griffin, mostly but if anyone ever sees me online drop me an invite. If I'm in game, I'll join when I'm done.

    This would work if we had a less casual approach but the way we plug and play clan members makes it difficult. That being said some people are starting to work it out on their own. An example is Hardhat..I know the area Pac likes to hold and place my tac insert accordingly. Pac knows where I place it and can cover that area to make it safer for me to spawn. I could give other examples but that is the one that comes to mind. If we had a smaller clan or difinitive playtimes/combat teams we could approach it like this but for now we may just have to work it out before matches.
