Approaches To Teamwork In Online Games Surveyed

Posted by simoniker on from the friendly-kills-off dept.

Thanks to GamersWithJobs for their piece discussing a new study about teamwork in online games. The study homepage has a PDF download of the student-authored paper, which is based on a survey interviewing "a total of 4,712 people" about their team-based gaming experiences online. In terms of improving and evolving teamwork, a variety of options are discussed: "A central commander role like in [Half-Life mod] Natural Selection supports the team aspect... and received positive feedback. However, an unskilled commander might destroy the team experience, as indicated by the votes for S2's Savage."

      Yea, and God said to Abraham you will kill your son Isaac, and Abraham said: 'I can't hear you. You'll have to speak into the microphone.' And God said, 'Oh I'm sorry - is this better? Check check, check check. Jerry, pull the high end out, I'm still getting some hiss back here.'
