Multiplayer Strategy

Now that you've presumably read about how to excel in a one on one enviroment, I'm sure you're ready to try something a little different. Whether it is for the mutability, possible pace, sheer complexity or development of player roles, nearly all Spring players eventually and consistently venture into the world of multiplayer matches.

Starting A Game Don't get caught up in who you are playing alongside or against. You will play in unfair matches, leaning either direction. The best method of learning is through loss, and the greatest ability to teach is granted in a stunning victory. However, be aware of the abilities and quirks of those you are working with or against before the game actually begins. If somebody has an unreliable connection, prepare for it. You're now in part responsible for a group - best act accordingly.

Playing A Game You and your allies will make mistakes. Somebody may be the strong point. Somebody may cause the loss of the whole team. There is nothing wrong with this.

Your role is to play coherently with your allies and excel in what you do. Thus, communication is the hallmark of a skilled multiplayer. Talk about concerted attacks, work out plans of defense, ask for support. Give advice, lend support, adapt your overhead strategy to accomodate. If you must leave, warn your allies. Leave them the best you have to work with!

You are not alone, and you cannot effectively play as if you were alone in a fair match.
