Hey I'm just testing the waters (not actually making one right now)here but how many of you would be interested in a military style clan.(THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION FOR A UNIVERSAL CLAN STRUCTURE BUT A STRUCTURE FOR ONE CLAN)
THIS WOULD ENTAIL BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO
1. Moving as a unit for pvp
2. Use of tactics I.E fields of fire, flanking, decoys
3. Trying to pair different roll types together ( a squad with a machine gunner, rifleman, sniper...)

Being British Forces myself, I like the idea of militarised feel, but only strategy. I am going to criticise your 3 ideas for the purpose of the game: 1. That would be too hard to control with players that don't know or trust each other. It's hard enough to control in real military. Moving as a unit is far slower and much more monotonous than the films make out. 2. arcs of fire and flanking are good ideas but are too difficult to control on a game console. 3. A sniper would never be part of a section. The section would be made up of riflemen and gunners. They may have some anti-vehicle capability (rockets) attached to them. Snipers, however, would be totally separate. They would work as a small team of 2-4 men under command from HQ but generally on their own terms. And even if a sniper-trained soldier was in a section he would not use a long range rifle, he would just use a normal assault rifle.
