Re: Narc's "Halo 3 Partnership" article

In Response To: Narc's "Halo 3 Partnership" article (Hawaiian Pig) : Is this not already a given in Halo? A good team requires good communication, : and all that this concept really seems to suggest is that one person be in : charge. That being said, when it comes to Halo, the strategy isn't too : complicated. Good Doubles Teams know exactly what they're going to do on a : specific map right from spawn. I remember talking to goatrope and Devin : about their approach to doubles once. On the Pit, for example, the : meta-game has evolved such that the first spawn involves both teams : rushing Rockets and Camo; the direction is understood, and it requires the : team to slightly split up and then adapt based on how each fire-fight : goes. Similar scenarios occur on maps such as Construct or Epitaph. With : understood objectives, really all that's left is the need for good : communication. : The Lead and Wing concept seems as though it would work better in a : completely new environment where map control and map sense is limited. In : Halo, however, much of the time is spent managing and controlling the : power weapons, power ups and the like. This is why the score in a Doubles : game is so volatile, going from 8-1 to 10-9 to 21-12 and so forth. Gaining : map control and dominating the map's resources are key. As a secondary : effect to this common goal, most good teams of 2 or 4 are aware of what : needs to be controlled and how to adapt if that control is lost. In these : cases, direction of the team is nebulous; lead and wing scenarios seem to : only emerge when the capacities of the two players are not equal.
