Your choice of warfare.

[WhiteSun]

Given the large numbers of weapons and vehicles in PS, several different types of warfare are available to squad/platoon/outfit commanders.

Which general type of warfare would you prefer to engage in, given the returns are the same mechanics-wise and materiel is free?

[Tobias]

shoot a few and run off before the rest get me is the plan, wanna guess what my pick was?

l33t warfare?

[Incompetent]

Maneuver warfare, attrition warfare garantees that you will lose alot of people and guerrilla warfare takes to long.

That's just funny. :lol:

[Tobias]

Well i plan to be a sniper, fly around in a skeeter, pick up targets at long range, fly off, land, move close to targets, kill a few, or if only 1-2 people, both of em, and then fly off. I thought that would be guerrilla warfare.

[Warborn]

I pick maneuvere warfare, of course. Any idiot can run in a straight line and attack head-on.

[SpaceDrake]

I'm guessing my preferred tactic of getting in an infiltration suit, packing a MAGScatter, knife, and several grenades, gathering up my buds, sneaking into a base, and causing all sorts of havoc before a massive assault (or just to wig them out :p ) counts as guerrila warfare, so... :D

[Muffman]

Guerilla tactics! RAR ME = UBAR STELF NINJUH KEELOR

[SandTrout]

I'm the behind-the-lines gurrilla that harrasses and destracts the enemy why the meneuverers make their meneuvers.

[CrazyJoker]

I choose the second one because I'm going to be a tank driver. There's nothing like flanking a few enemy tanks or soldiers in Battlefield 1942 so I'm hoping the feeling is going to be the same in PS. Personally I am also kind of looking forward to running over a few of the sniper/infiltrator/awpwannabes/etc/etc/etc. (flame away with that comment) throughout the game. In fact I'm sincerely hoping I'll accidentally run over at least one cloaked enemy within the first few days. I can just see it now:

*You have unknowingly run over a Vanu sniper. You are awarded ??? BEPs for accomplishing this for the first time.*

By the way maneuver/manouvre warfare (however you want to spell it)... does not require you to lose a lot of people. If its done right then the results are going to be your team getting lots of kills while the other team is completely obliterated.

[Incompetent]

noone ever said that maneuver warfare would get alot of your guys killed.

[CrazyJoker]

ahh..I misunderstood your post. Thought you were combining the two. Didn't realize you were confirming what your choice was.

[Incompetent]

not a problem, im not exactly known for the clarity of my posts.

[Sputty]

I think Maneuver(that's how I spell...Hmph) warfare is going to be the most common. Warborn was 100% right in what he said and Guerilla warfare is pretty hard considering there are often huge fields and also large bases defended well.

where's the

4. hide-in-the-base-until-enemy-leaves warfare
5. accuse-everyone-else-of-cheating-and-hacking warfare
6. pure-team-killer warfare
...

you never know. there are some people out there...

[Sputty]

Don't forget the ever present, "Spamming the boards with the, 'this game and its developers suck' message, yet being unable to quit playing" warfare.

[txMaddog]

My vote: Manouver warfare. As Gen. Patton once said 'Grab'em by the nose and kick'em in the @$$ !!!'

Attrition favores the Defender in PS unless the Attack brings overwhelming force (3-1 at least).

Guerilla warfare (hit and run) while fun is not going to take a base by itself although it can act as a distraction for both Attacker (sniping sentries, hacking stuff) and Defender (reconing for AMS).

[Tobias]

I personaly have no desire to ever assult a base, maybe snipe from a hill whilst my friends assult it and help kill the defenders....

[SandTrout]

#4 is a legitament tactic. If they're stupid enough to leave the base with you still in it, they diserve what they get.

[Airlift]

I voted for Beta Tester Warfare :D :D :D
