Leading the charge | Thoughts on better gameplay - Planetside 2 Analysis - YouTube

Hello people, Joshino here again.

Today I am going to talk about being that guy who makes the

first move and pushes out

The one that potentially leads the charge. Encouraging others to leave a spawn room

or to even end a stalemate.

I have been mulling over doing a 'What role do lonewolves and small squads play in planetside 2 video

and how they can be effective but I thought this point may need its own.

So I think everyone has come across the guy who shouts in the spawn room,

"Get out of the bleeping spawn room you spawn camping BLEEPS

BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP "Teamkill Rapage"

well I'm here to suggest the approach of making the first move

And 'then' shouting for everyone to come with you. Or at least leading by example.

Although this has the tendency to get you killed and not everyone is okay with

that which is fine.

Most of the time though it isn't about running head on into a shotgun blast.

It's about looking at the map and figuring out where you need to go

in order to give your faction buds the confidence to come out with you!

"wink, wink"

Anyway, in this first clip

I have pushed around with my max To where a big group of NC players are stuck being spawn

camped.

I try to clear as much of the campers watching the doorway as possible

I am forced to retreat

however my efforts are not in vain. Audibly one guy is shouting that the front

door is clear

which prompts a rush. I tried to get back to the front

when repaired

In this occasion having some 'hudspa' was rewarded massively.

So here's my second clip, The NC and TR

are pretty evenly popped Here at Esamir Munitions.

Where the NC are held back on a bridge.

I use the jump pad and my jump jets to get behind them.

I get quite a lot of kills and because of this my allies are able to push over the

bridge

also I am able to secure B point.

I spot some maxes and what I think to be engineers behind them.

I don't get so lucky this time and they were actually medics.

Anyway I'll just leave you with the clips leading up to this,

where I died a bit more,

To illustrate that it wasn't just a cake walk. Sometimes

no one will follow you. Sometimes you will die quickly

and feel like a plonker but at the end of the day - you Tried!

I hope this video was interesting in some way and that's all you might try to

be more aggressive

or give leading by example a go. Anyway, until next time guys

Joshino.
