COMBAT OPERATIONS
The goal of Ops Night (working title) is to enter a continent and change the tide of war in our favor. We will accomplish this by using unconventional warfare, blitzkrieg tactics, and a strategy that favors fast movements and precision strikes on strategically valuable locations. Unfortunately for some, this means performing tasks that put you in extremely perilous situations. If you enjoy squad-based tactics, teamwork, and love killing enemies of the Republic you are sure to enjoy the tactical and demanding gameplay of Ops Night.
During this event, eGO members and guests are expected to work as one cohesive unit. To accomplish this task we require all participants to follow orders, refrain from bickering, and restrain from openly questioning or disregarding orders. While the goal of Ops Night is to cause as much destruction and mayhem as a team, we cannot accomplish this with members flaunting their "expertise" or disregarding commands. For the most part, participants should only obey the commands of their fireteam leaders, squad leaders, and the Operational Commander.
OUTFIT SETUP
We will attempt to run two primary squads; Airborne and Mechanized. The Airborne squad will be composed of Heavy Assault Troops and Combat Medics. They will drop from Galaxies in strategically valuable locations and be tasked with capturing and then securing various territories. Mechanized forces will be composed primarily of Sunderer(s), tanks, Engineers, and Heavy Assault troops. They will serve as a support auxiliary to Airborne operations or tasked with separate missions. Please note that the Airborne and Mechanized squads are likely to change as we will always prioritize infantry tactics.
If you want to reserve a space within a specific squad type please specify below We will do our best to put you in such positions. Reserved slots will be honored until 8:00 PM Eastern, after which they will be disregarded and given "first come, first serve" placement.
IN-GAME LEADERSHIP
All major commands are likely to come from the operational Commander. The Commander will almost always be a member of Op:X leadership, a predesignated host, or an EC. During the event we expect every participant to obey the Commander's orders to the best of their ability.
Most orders will be relayed to squad leaders and then further relayed to the rest of the team. Squad leaders are expected to be mature, dependable members with a basic knowledge of Planetside 2 and the information in this thread. They must also be able to control their squad, effectively communicate, relay communications, and ensure their squad can carryout orders given to them by the Commander.
There are 2 openings for squad leaders, we will be selecting new squad leaders every week. Squad leader positions are open to anyone in the outfit as long as they meet the following criteria.
This thread is open for any type of response and is NOT just for signups. However, if you are interested in becoming a SL for this week please reply to this thread with a separate post including the following:
IMPORTANT NOTES
During Ops Night you may not earn as much experience as you wish but you will learn how to work as a team to accomplish tasks in a tactical and effective manner. If this type of gameplay does not suit you remember that this is a voluntary event and your participation is not required (although it is greatly valued).
Any type of behavior or outbursts will be dealt with immediately with at least a dismissal from the event. We always encourage constructive criticism and we have an open lien of communication. However, there are times and places to express your knowledge of the game, criticize actions, or take command-- during the event is neither the time nor the place.
