A player

who does not follow orders from a commander or stay with his team, he just fights on his own and completes the objective with no assistance. He still serves his team, but in a different way. :ninja:

/thread

In most walk on games, no one is listening to and "commander" everyone is a long wolf pretty much.
The other case is that you are part of an organized team at a scenario, at which point this position makes no sense... Why be on a team if you plan on being away and not working with them at all.

You have basically described your average walk on player...

babble babble don't let the position define you, you define the position /usual thing with new positions...

In a sense all players have a little it of the wolf in them because There will always come a time when your own judgment comes into play. Understanding though, that without a team objectives are typically much more difficult to accomplish.

I feel like using the search button just to see how many threads have been started about being a lone wolf....plz hold.

edit, there are 27 threads in Scenario Positions that contain the words "lone wolf". I know that there are more than that amount of lone wolf positions, they just go by different names. Ohh well, welcome to the forums!

Seems like a stereotype to me. I don't believe anyone here is paying the correct respect to this topic.

So.... you're saying.... this guy could, like, shoot his commander, too?

..... I don't get it.

Lone Wolf is unsophisticated and frankly useless to a team. Commander can't count on him, regardless of how skilled he is, to do anything..... it's a waste of a player. Not even worth discussing, really.

Welcome to the forums Ultimate (even though I'm a bit late). Glad to have you here w/ us!

The Lone Wolf idea is something that just doesn't mesh into the scenario game. The whole point of playing a role is to well... play a role. By definition, the lone wolf is off doing his own thing.

This topic is full of good replies, but this is my favorite:
