Admiral Ackbar Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 When I play matchmaking, if I play Slayer it's generally Big Team Slayer. However, the past couple of days I've been playing a little more normal Slayer. I know they are both slayer game types, but the game themselves pan out completely different. I don't claim to be amazing at Big Team Slayer, but I'm usually near the top on my team. But on Slayer the opposite is true. I struggle with it. Part of the reason is that I'm simply not familiar with the maps. That is something that comes with time. However the other part I"m just not used to, is how people play the Slayer match. It's weird to see shotguns being utilized. In Big Team Slayer that very rarely happens. The TEAM in a normal team slayer is much more important. In Big Team Slayer you can have someone do really bad and still win. Not the case in normal Team Slayer. If one person does bad, your entire team will suffer. It's a lot harder to carry dead weight, when the teams are smaller. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing. Did I miss anything?

Smaller teams make each players individual contribution much more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Ackbar Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's really hard when you don't play with a team. You're never really know how the other players will respond and react. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRF BaDInTentZs Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Teamwork is significantly more important on a small team. Less people to take up slack so awareness really needs to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuid BioniX Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yep, I usually play with my buddy when I play Team Slayer. I absolutely prefer the smaller teams/maps than to BTB, but if I decide that I want to listen to an episode of SModcast and eat some food, then BTB it is.

Admiral Ackbar Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I prefer Big Team just because I like using vehicles a lot. And a lot of times I have more than 5 people in my part. So it's just easier that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
