Yes Mintchip. Military training does transfer over, anyone who says it doesn't is a POG or a reservist :P or never brushed up on their tactical knowledge (google MCDP 1-3).
Anyways, I find it very useful, I usually spend the majority of the match looking at the map, finding vulnerable positions, flanking, setting up overwatch with snipers, interlocking fields of fire, using indirect fire weapons properly from behind cover, telling squad mates to hold around that corner. Using simple military common sense, if your team is dying in the city, take the outside objectives, it forces the enemy to come out of the city to reclaim them. Standard blueberry is pretty stupid and uses the "I went this way before and died 5 times, I'm gonna keep going that way"
That being said, I do have fun playing with my veteran buddies.
ATTENTION MINTCHIP PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS NEXT PART
Waiting for DUST to give me the option to Watch the Map on EVE so I can just provide intel. Tell ccp to get to it. |

Playing this game is like going to war with a bunch of pogues, most run around and just do weird things, e.g. stand around smoking a durry when an objective is around the corner.
How does my training help. Playing seldom and as a logi for me it comes down to more common sense, where is a good place for an uplink, and where to dump a hive. Basic tactics, like the enemy must capture point A so defend downstream of a bottle neck. Things I had to unlearn, fear is no longer a weapon and stupid things like being able to accurately aim while running and jumping is a joke and the one thing i find most odd is shooting someone with a mounted weapon vs a hand held weapon seems to be about the same.
When comms work!!! *** HELLO CCP *** and the squad actually uses it productively the game is much more miltiary like, but only in the fact that is essentially sandboxy and the exact same thing could be said for any shoot-em-up type game with comms
Fear is still a weapon, stay away from tanks, etc. A sniper can still discorage you from being in a certain area etc...
But yeah, it is pretty much playing with POGS with no concept of flanking or avenues of approach lol |

That's one way to look at it, but I still maintain that people don't rush into a tank without proper equipment. Perhaps fear is the wrong word, but knowing it's suicide to rush a tank with no way of blowing it up is stupid, and even die then refit, you're better off changing at a supply depot, that way you're not wasting clones. |
