Phix Newbie Guide

Team Play

Most games are played using team play.  When playing with a team there are some things you may want to sort out:
 

Keep together:

When you have been killed you should try to re-group with your team-mates as quickly as possible.  This gives your team maximum firepower against a single target if your enemies aren't grouped.  Also if you are knocked down and prone on the ground your team-mates can cover you and attack the enemy that hit you - giving you time to get up without dying. 

Have a game plan:

If you have a team of 4 players you could organise it like this (just an idea)

Player A is the best player and has found all the enemies lag's - He can knock all the enemies over.

Player B can cover player A

Player C is the worst player and can attack and finish off the mechs that player A has knocked over.

Player D can cover player C

Keep in contact:

If you have a problem in-game you can chat just to your team by using the keypad "-" (minus) key - keep your team-mates informed if something important happens.
 

You may end up playing with the same people over and over again if you join the same types of games at certain times of day repeatedly.  If you get to know these people and enjoy playing together - it could be the start of a team or even a clan... that’s how team Need A Phix started.

So get out there and meet people, enjoy yourself and don't forget to lead other newbies to this guide so it can help them as well... thanx
