Got the kids headset in today, and I drank all the booze in the house so I will be on tonight early figuring out how I want to have my button mapping and will be trying his headset to see if I want to order one of those for myself.  Be interested if one are you are on to see how the mic sounds and such.

We have the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 and it’s been flawless.

That dude that got whooped early,  I traversed to respawn (after we wiped his killers), only to get whooped again at the same spot by another squad because he ran back to loot (while we were bailing) was infuriating.

If you suck, you need to know you suck and stay out of harm's so you don't keep dying. I think we ended up finishing second in that one.

yeah agreed.  Why is it so hard for some randoms to stay near their squad?  Why do so many think they can 1 v 3?

I can.

I have learned to after 100% randoming this long.  Why I play caustic.

Want to run off ahead and die?  Cool.  I'll clean up the mess when i get there.  I feel like I am third partying half of the fights because my teammates die before i get there.

Dude, I have trouble staying with you guys sometimes.  Not trying to be Rambo, just sometimes lose track of you guys as I loot, etc.. 

There is the problem of me being the one downed first 85% of the time too.

My son was grilling me last night about how we play, strategies, etc.  

He asked me "well, do you guys play well as a team? Are your playing styles similar?"  

Thought it was a good question.

Those are very good questions. It's as much our fault, as it is yours, that you get downed 85% of the time first. Lol.

Seriously, we need to do a better job of pinging and communicating. I'm pretty much always looking at my map and locating everyone while I'm playing. I could do a better job at pinging.

Just interesting to me how much thought he and his buddy put into the game.  Talking about where to go to not get 3rd partied, purposely damaging the teammate in the back if a group is rushing in the open so the others either have to come in down a player or backtrack to get them,  pushing instantly if they crack a shield, sniping from a distance if groups are fighting, etc..

I also think that sometimes we talk about dropping in hotter or trying for quicker games at the start, but we seem to play more passive most of the time.  If that is the case is our team make up of Mirage/Wraith/Loba reflect that style? 

IMO the problem with me being the first one down is that chances are I also did very little damage to the other guy, so not only are you down a man, the other team is healthy.  I would guess that if hx is down, he probably took 1 + down with him.

All very solid points. You hear me and Sheik make fun of the McDonald's kid a lot, but I still remember one thing he said.  Don't take a lot of damage right away for no reason. If you get hit a few times, jump back and pop a cell before taking on a fight, for the exact reason you just stated.  When a decent team knows they significantly damaged one of your guys, they're going to be all over you immediately.  If you go down, make sure you did some damage on your way. 

I'm way more passive than I should be a lot of times, which handicaps the team at the beginning. I'm trying to balance between not getting downed and doing damage at the same time.  But that also makes me a little too passive and allows my teammates to catch the brunt of it a lot. 

Also, I think we could do a better job and hunting down teams instead of waiting for teams to find us. 

 
I have to learn how to process things better during battles and figuring out where the opponents are all located.  I lose track of one too often and get shot in the back. I think hunting down other teams would give us an advantage at that. 

 
Started playing ranked and people don’t leave as much so way better than just regular matches. Not sure why I didn’t think of that earlier.

Making it deeper more often. Now, we have to start improving our late game strategy more to secure more wins.

Have to be aggressive but use our position better and not get down a man quickly in the end game.

Yeah that last one we ran into we were trying to third party but the fight was long over by the time we got there + they had that building to hide in.   Shoulda just found high ground and camped

I was thinking about that one today too.  I made the mistake of thinking that we were going in.   So I think the problem either way was that we were also a bit spread apart.  So either:

1.  I needed to communicate that I was chasing that Wraith better, AND that I was doing so because her shield was cracked - then we all team up on that one and get them down a player.  

2.  Like you said, maybe try to wait them out and try to get better position  

Like you said, sometimes it feels like we are a little too late for the 3rd party tries and the team is healed or healing.  

Regardless, it was a fun night of gaming.
