User blog comment:OnceAnerD/There's an "I" in Multiplayer, Sometimes/@comment-4973403-20130506233001

Normally, I select a good start point which allows me a good field of fire, or a fatal funnel. If someone else beats me to that spot, I allow them to utilize it and pick another spot. I'm normally eager to rush to the quest points (Indoctrination Nodes, etc.), unless I'm actively holding a flank position; and allowing the enemy through could put other players in real jeopardy. If players are using their mics, I'll join in the conversations, announce locations of boss enemies, let people know that I am on the way to revive players (if I'm close enough), and happily dispense advice to noobs to make them more effective for the team. As for my own playing style, I'm not the "run up and kill them all" type of player. Most of my characters work best in a support role. I'll admit that I still mainly play Bronze and Silver...sticking with Bronze in order to gain weapons and extraction achievements.
