TDM Etiquette: Do / Don’t

A quick, no-nonsense checklist for teamplay: items, positioning, and comms.

✕ Things NOT to do in TDM

NO, DON'T
  • Pick up ammo in front of your teammate when you’re running an Enforcer.
  • Shoot at “enemies” with the Enforcer when your teammates are next to them shooting with a real gun.
  • Run in front of people when they are aiming or shooting.
  • Pick up health packs on 98 HP unless there are enemies.
  • If armour is going to spawn you have 58 armour, don't fucking sit on the armour while your friend is next to you. Sharing is caring.
  • Fight enemies with enforcer close range while you have a team mate with a weapon behind you

✓ Things to do

Be useful, win games
  • Drop a weapon as soon as you see a friend with an Enforcer, don’t wait for them to ask.
  • Enforcer is a weapon
  • When you drop, drop something good. Don’t hoard Sniper/Shock/Flak then toss a Ripper.
  • Go to items on time, not when it spawns and then say “I was there”.
  • Time items properly. It’s basic math.
  • Drop the fucking weapon if your mate took the armor - weapons can be dropped items not
  • Share those HP boxes, especially if you don’t have a weapon and your low friend does.

↯ Comms

Call info
  • Say when you lost or regained an area.
  • When good players say “I killed player X”, it’s context for that moment. Don’t blindly repeat it when you kill them too, it adds nothing.
  • Call timings so people can prep. Not “belt now”, call it ~15 seconds before WITH THE TIMING.
