Field Ops Wreath Anyone?

[MadMarkus]

Strategy to obtain FO wreath and help the team properly.

Play Volcano (like 10 times in a row every day)

Dont bother deploying anything (its just a magnet on this map anyway)
1st Objective
Run to top of bunker, toss airstrike left at 45 degrees so the run wipes out enemy from new spawn to wall (most coverts go this way at first it seems).
Drop back and down into bunker, defend the door with a little nade spam (toss packs) and a few shots (should be a med crate on the stairs at this point).
Check the objective, toss packs.
Defend if necessary
Cycle back up, check spawn point, run to front wall, check radar, toss strike over wall and start the loop again.
Once the door is blown you will end up staying inside defending the obj. and running out front (check radar) to toss a quick blind airstrike.
inside DONT FORGET to check the vents in the little hallway by the obj.
Toss packs while running around to get health packs and...
STAY NEAR THE OBJECTIVE
Medics can follow the same sort of pattern minus the spawn point.
Coverts should always have a 3rd eye on the ceiling somewhere or outside the door on the stairwell wall.

2nd objective
Toss airstrike over building while heading inside and down.
Run the stairs (GPMG up here and covert sniper to toss packs to) leave extra packs.
Go to the overlook side and defend thru the doorway...toss packs down when you can (jump down when you need health).
Cycle back to the GPMG (hopefully) on the other side once in a while or at respawn (dont forget to toss a strike whenever you respawn)
HELP DEFEND THE OBJECTIVE
Medics work well with the same loop (crate at back instead of airstrike)

3rd Objective
If you and a medic (2 sets are nice) have been working well and there is a semi smart team there should be no defense needed for the 3rd.
If there is then toss packs in the cage and get down to the vents to toss packs and shoot drones
Do the loop when respawning

Good teams keep the 3rd objective from being an issue
If you hold each objective 9 min, you have won.
Its fun, its teamwork, it works to hold the objective.

I GOT MY FO WREATH!!:cool: anyone else?

I GOT MY FO WREATH!!:cool: anyone else?

Since I only play Strogg, I'm looking forward to getting my constructor wreath in about 2042, when ET:QWZOMFG 57 is released.

salvage last phase is good for ammo giving as well

i got my wreath last week
1st in AUS :)

Agree
Good Job!

[nedd]

i tried to find out what number i was getting it

i could only see one other with at the time i got mine

[nick_ss]

I find Quarry really good for field ops, you can always give ammo to about half a dozen sniper/rocket soldier there.

[bFunk]

I think any of the defensive inside objectives are good for medic and FO packs, so that's Ark, Area 22, Salvage, Volcano.

[Rapier]

How many packs do you have to hand out to other players in order to get 2k exp in it? I got only 41 ;(.

[Szakalot]

defend the door with a little nade spam (toss packs)

U seem to imply that u can regain grenades from packs?

[Syba]

U seem to imply that u can regain grenades from packs?

i don't think he's trying to imply that.

also i think someone with 2k xp for ammo packs would realise they don't replensish nades :rolleyes:

[Kalbuth]

OTOH, he wrote "toss packs" in every sentence, so that doesn't really imply anything ;)

[m1rra]

2000 XP with ammo packs congrats man. :dance: :dance: :dance:

[Porkins_6]

Agreed, completing 200 build objectives is pretty ridiculous.

[MadMarkus]

Correct, or what im trying to say is toss the dam things everywhere...esp in doorways that people use a lot! Get in the rythym of toss, defend, toss, airstrike, toss etc.

I also agree any indoor defend is good, but volcano is small and basically all indoors and thats key. Im pretty sure 1 map was 209 FO XP...that was mostly ammo given.

Its also the only one i thought i could outline in a short format that would help a few classes (for beginers mostly)

Nade spam from the crate that should be behind you on the stairs at that point.

Thanks for the info on 7fat, i do have a sig from him that i just stopped using but didnt know i might be able to figure out what place i got the wreath (gonna go look now)

Thanks for the congrats, just trying to "give back" a little since I got so much help from the forums.

[munkyshooter]

sounds like a lot of tossing to me, are we talking etqw here? :p

anyway, great tips, i have just started playing fops fulltime-ish, and currently have 4xp for tossing packs, i always forget they are there till someone asks for ammo 6 times!!

so the main point i will have to remember is "toss like i have never tossed before"

cheers

2k with ammo packs sucks gonna take forever.

[MadMarkus]

2k with ammo packs sucks gonna take forever.

Nah! Its fun...and if you want to speed it up..just jump in the start of volcano only or at the end of a sewer map...that speeds it up and you join a team at the final map of a round to help out when most bail by then if the team is doing poorly on the first two rounds.
I developed a nice pattern for myself that seemed to get the most out of the FO on that map.

When I was a rookie I would sit in the hills and call arty on the radars and spawn most of the time...Bah! The action is in the bunker = fun = teamwork = more XP for everyone.
Enjoy!

dropping ammo packs is fun? how is that fun? does it differ as u get better? seriously its just 'select/drop', i dont really see the fun in it.

[Don Zardeone]

It's fun because you'll give ammo to the ammoless. People who don't have ammo are usually flak jacketed hard-to-kill multikillers. Once they run out of ammo they'll need to respawn. If they respawn then they're out of the fight for a while. Usually long enough for the enemy to waltz over the guys who normally would be hiding behind the guy who ran out of ammo.

So yeah ammopacks can be a gamewinner. I've seen it happen that ammo was the gamebreaker plenty of times. Especially on volcano, AR-medics and a steady supply of strogg.

All negatives in a positive thread. There's always one eh... :p

Well done on getting 2,000 Ammo XP, my primary class preference is Medic and I can't see health/stroy coming any time soon. iLol.

[slam420]

uh er um ........ YOU NEED BULLETS TO SHOOT:D ........ ive run out of AR and pistol bullets and was left TOTALLY ammoless:eek: , but who respawns for ammo when there is a crate? take the route to east bunker crate or middle bunker crate and check the spawn somewhere in between:infiltrator: .... you can toss a vampire from the east BUT YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL AND HAVE A PRECISION TOSS:D ...... even if u only get 20% of it to hit land a kill is a kill. nice tutorial btw madmarkus. GOOD LUCK STROGG:D

[slam420]

oh yeah i like the ammo drops in highly traveled areas(DOORWAYS) i usually scatter mine in a room to make them more visible to the people that DONT LIKE TO PUSH OUT. oh yeah thats the secret to the third objective:D , have 1 or 2 ppl spawn at hangar( omg i dont think anybody knows about that :mad: ) preferably a covops so they can deploy a real friggin radar. and hack all or use emp grenades to disable enemy radar so u can run up to infiltrators and KNIFE EM:D , god i love that tactic. BUT THE SECRET TO THE THIRD OBJ IS TO PUSH OUT TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE PEOPLE!!!!!:mad:

.5 xp per pack so 4000 paks LOL

[Bu11eT]

.5 xp per pack so 4000 paks LOL

Tossing em out wouldn't be that much of a problem, but they need to be taken to count, which is much harder to achieve IMO ;)

[gamma]

well now that the ammo count is lower at spawn i can usaly get around 30 xp in a single round now not bad compared to before

yep.... if you are playing FO these days then your first choice should be to drop packs right in front of your spawn...... sorry medics
