Communication

To ensure tactical teamwork, communication is key.  This is easy enough to do while gaming online with headsets and microphones, this often becomes a problem in real life.  If everyone is shouting at the same time, tactics often go out the window!

Probably the easiest way to avoid this issue during a match is to set up your game plan before the match starts.  Unfortunately this doesn’t allow for a fluid or dynamic environment and doesn’t allow you to change tactics on the fly.  This can complicate things and result in a game loss. Thankfully we have a solution (or those of you who have with an iOS or Android based phone!

If you’ve ever heard of or used Google Hangouts, you’re a step ahead.  Google Hangouts is similar to Skype, but with less lag and more stability.  As such, we recommend using Google Hangouts as a means by which to communicate with your team and ensure you can use tactics on the fly during any of our games.

To make it easy for you, we’ve created guides that will show you how to install, set up, and add team members to a Google Hangout so you can add an earpiece and communicate during any of our games! You can find step by step guides here:     iOS Hangouts Guide          Android Hangouts Guide.
