I have a plan that I believe could make the game better and is within our capabilities. This plan would try to address two problems, game population and quality of play.
My idea is to start a tier 5 recreational play league, that will teach our newer players the mechanics and strategy of the game. Each team would need a volunteer coach. Players with a blue or purple WN8,.with good people skills and a desire and ability to coach would be the first and most critical volunteer positions.
My marketing plan for this league would be to find another group of volunteers to play low tier matches and broadcast a very short message at the start of every game highlighting a common issue new players have understanding the game, an invitation to the recreation league and where to go for more information.
As.an example,.tired of being killed by tanks you don't see? Contact any WOTHELP clan member to learn about spotting mechanics and also for information about a new recreational league, coached by top players who want to help you get better and have more fun. You can also find more information at ( forum web address.
There would be an initial training and practice sessions with the coaches where they can teach mechanics and tactics, ie hull down, side scraping, maps and map awareness. This would be held in practice rooms. Scrimmages during this period can also be arranged. Then turn them loose to play real games against the other teams, culminating in a playoff and championship.
This is a fingernail sketch of the idea. Halopro and Proflex each have encouraged this thread and have agreed to help. To make this work we need more people onboard. Please let me know if you are willing to be a part of this effort.
Halo and Proflex, you better get into this thread and support the idea.
