I joined a team of randoms one time. I had an lmg and smg, and they were going sniping. I still did my best to ping every enemy i could to contribute to the team, because thats what i believe a teammate should do

Sniping battles get soooooo boring after a while. After a while I’m just going to push and kill you or die trying

that happened to me awhile back me and my friend came in with a random. we went this way he went to the sam site and we were looting. I engage a player. buddy runs to hit uav. he gets killed. I kill two players the third gets me. and player 3 is doing a destroy supply contract. and I say come on 3. by the time you get here they’ll all be revived. he processes to swim towards exfil. if that’s your plan to come in and not be part of the team, come in solo. another note, me and my buddy were speaking on comms the entire time. he wasn’t but finally when I tell him shit he gets on the mic and says it’s my fault y’all got killed ? and I just backed out. he obviously wasn’t even planning to get us as he pinged this exfil

Was trying to engage a guy while getting shot by bots, 1 and 3 watching/sniping above. Perfectly fine.

Die trying to turn a corner. 1 and 3 contemplating action. All good.

3 decides to try and engage too, but 1 chickens out and goes to exfil (he was scared)

3 revives me without being noticed before engaging squad. Turns out they only had single or double plate vests.

Number 1 could have easily helped number 3 but chose not too and took extra risk just to save his own ass. Theres always gonna be someone doing their own thing.

If someone is going to stay back and snipe instead of push then they need to be hitting shots and downing anyone that doesn't have full plates. Otherwise you're at a huge disadvantage pushing into a defensive position. I hate when people do this just because they're scared to get killed.

Not everyone is down to push teams. Especially when they spawn in with a 1 plate and no guns. I immediately start looting when I spawn in with nothing whether my team is pushing or not. Once I’m set up THEN I’ll start pushes.

Sounds like OP can't snipe to save his life. My squad appreciates the downs that fly in from 500-750+ m covering them.

I had one the other day where I spawned in with randoms, everyone on mics so thought it would be a good one. One guy started running off away from the next spawn location - so far so good. Came across another team with one shot shottys and took out a couple of them, but along the way me and the 3rd guy got downed. Cue the other guy running off, saying on the mic "ah see if one of those guys will let you join their team, I'm just doing a contract and exfilling". Dude, why the fuck did you not just come in as a solo if you're not going to play as a team?!

Depends on how the overwatch performs. If he's calling in sightings, calling in a uav or airstrike, and sniping/covering, that's still useful.

It doesn't seem like that's what your buddy was doing, though

Sniping is ghey in general. Never understood how the game is enjoyable that. Head glitching little bitches.

I like to snipe because it keeps me away. If I can see them and they can see me, I have a higher chance of dying. Me no like.

If I stay away (favorite gun when I played DMZ was the really big .50 cal bolt action equipped with the 17x scope. I ground so hard for that thing. I once got a full squad wipe with it, and then killed two players in another squad. All from over 200m. Sniper's objective is to, well, snipe. Not watch as their team dies.

I’m always moving with my team with a sniper with a thermal scope as I suck at close quarters combat, I try my absolute hardest to keep with them and ping as much as possible cause I’ve had teammates do this exact thing to me

In dmz I snipe almost exclusively Hell Ive hit a person in a parachute over 400meters away I'll give live pings Hell even some matches I'll be the squad heavy weapons joker sakin lmg and a smg.

I actually played lookout, during a three team fight, in a radio tower…got five kills and kept both of them teams busy while my team came in to finish…it worked well for that fight. I still don’t know how none of the other teams looked up for me, especially if they watched their kill cams

Sounds about right

playing strictly w/ randoms and where the game is currently its inevitable you push the 1st group regardless of w/e loot your bringing in if your not comfortable w/ that maybe move on or if you see your 3rd member is a doofus dont push use a different meta i bring a 3rd weapon for teammate now make sure at least two of us are packing

Yeah they need to at least call out and ping with spotter. Thats my job a lot of times when we hold down a tall huilding. I sit up top with the aniper/spotter and my teammates push or vice versa.. but one of us usually does lookout with conms/spotter... and if it goes south, we loop around until it's clear and res. .

That’s 80% of them

Not a fan of the spawn kill.

I play with two close friends, we've been gaming together for years. If he has a sniper rifle, when we spot another team he heads to the roofs or highest vantage point. He's good in a long range fight but if we get pushed or if we push he stays put under the false assumption he can help from a distance....If we both get downed he has never saved the day, though he occasionally runs away and is able to come revive us 10 minutes later.... Just Venting :)

Sound pretty worthless

Maybe he just plays for missions and not Warzone PvP.......

PvP damage should be removed and more missions should be added 💪

Look where your team is and move accordingly. Not their fault you can't be bothered to look at the minimap and fight like you have 2 instead of 3

Yeah those teammates suck.. when our third isn't playing we keep squad fill on but play like our third isn't there until they show us they are decent, only then do we put any faith in them 😜 it's made us play better as a team taking 2v3s

Nobody really wants to play as a team and only shoot bots

I went in with 2 randoms with no mics (they seemed to be communicating with each other tho) so I was following them and trying to be a team player …. They go to the embassy and kill the pyro and I’m right there with them and then they get on an atv which I was trying to hop on as well and was about to push the button to hop on to just be along for the ride but then they just drove away and left me there. I would have literally been on the vehicle if they had waited like 2 more seconds. Long story short I die like not long after and watch to see if they exfil that game and they get killed at an exfil with the weapons case so karma

I rarely get to play so am still way down the missions etc and therefore usually don’t have fully PvP ready gear either so i make my own life difficult by solo queueing, specifically because I don’t want to leave team mates in this situation.

It’s literally just them loading in hoping that you’ll blindly follow them and end up helping with/doing their mission for them.

I didn’t expect people to help when everyone hadn’t finished everything, never mind now!

Preach !!! 🙌🏾

Yeah you have to at least warn with pings or comms if you're not in the fight. My two teammates were sniping from ch7, i had no sniper so i just played the part of medic and watched the zip lines until we were pushed.

If you come in and want to do missions at least let the team know at the start so we can all make a choice and we wont be expecting you to be in the fight if we go separate ways.

There is no wrong way to play DMZ.

So a mate and I play together and we always seem to have pretty average thirds that drop in. We've started playing as if they aren't there - so essentially as a duo. It's so frustrating, but changing that mindset has made plays way more strategic

As a dedicated overwatch/sniper, this is BS. A good overwatch can do some serious work, especially when everyone works well together.

Your not helping

My not helping or his not helping? Whose or who's not helping?

This is what someone talked about like that back then but she was very angry and even posted here.

Most of random teammates are dogshit and I don't play DMZ much because of that. One of the breaking points. Most of the teams are Pre-Made party matches and I have to went random. That's not fair.

Infinity Ward is suck at Matchmaking.

I love abandoning the squad I spawn in with if they go right to fighting. Why would I go and lose my sniper for 30 minutes because I have a one plate, when I can only play for like an hour per night?

Bring back six mans and assimilation. Had way more game time back then and it was more chaotic and fun and unique.

If you decide to push a team, you may do that.
If you expect your teammates to help, you should communicate.
If your random teammate decides NOT to push teams, but to loot, to do missions, to do passive upgrades - then he may do that.
You are not the master of everybody’s game.
Learn to communicate, learn to compromise, learn to act as part of a team.
Or deactivate squad fill.

My gf and I decided 95% of randos are absolute dogshit. They run off by themselves and push a team solo, get wrecked then start spam pinging enemy position or cursing down the mic because we don’t rush in blindly to save them. Or mission starts they run off solo, get downed literally within 60 seconds to a minute then leave the match. Run off solo, get instantly downed and immediately plead and get picked up by enemy squad. Start pushing a team whilst they have single plate carrier and trash vanilla guns then get angry when they get downed. I could go on forever lol, we usually end up a two man team one way or another and do ok so it’s nearly pointless queuing with squad fill turned on.

This is just getting way too exact and outta hand. You died, no one cared. Story over.

It’s a tactic. It’s part of the game. Stop complaining. Not everyone is a professional DMZ gamer. Iv seen AAR’s in the military that had less detail.
