Assaulting as a fireteam in relatively open terrain, when under fire,: The general command is "Fireteam, Rush." Cover is your friend. Use it whenever possible. Individual rushes should ideally be around three seconds. Long enough for you to say to yourself, "I'm up, he sees me, I'm down". Since cover is a bit sparse, and our characters can't drop prone, the ideal is generally going to be impossible. Do the best you can. If you can shift behind the cover so you don't pop up in the same place you dropped down, do so. 2 characters suppress targets while the third advances in a rush. (The military standard is actually 3:1, but we don't have that option.) Once the rushing character is set, he begins to suppress, and one of the other characters begins his individual rush. Keep the fireteam on a relatively even line as best you can. Keep the fireteam together as best you can. Keep at least 5 yards of dispersion from your other fireteam members as best you can. Mix up the order of individual rushes so the enemy doesn't know who's going to pop up when. We do have a huge advantage. We can communicate and coordinate without the enemy overhearing us. We don't have to be hardcore riflemen, who practice until this is silent and instinctive. No, I don't think we'll HAVE to use this much. But it's a good tool to have, and I saw some locations where it would be useful. (And from what I've seen of the PvP videos, it could be a darned good team tactic there.)
