I agree that an easier and still as effective way of showing the basic "Formations" can be done with a Birds eye view using picture and illustration, I have never picked up on people not knowing what formation they are being told to use in are Coop but more on the fact of maintaining one as Misha pointed out. ( Maintaining formation will have to be done from first person perspective ).
This in its self comes down to multiple things but the main one is maintaining Situational awareness when a multitude of information is being given to you and being interpreted by yourself, People get confused we all do.
In most of are Coop mission maintaining correct formation throughout is not necessary but there are certain times and certain missions where having this skill will increase are effectiveness on the field and thus directly effect if the mission will be successful or not.
I don't really want to dwell to deep into this subject as i feel as long as people know the basics it comes down to them to apply it while in Coop, also there are more productive and effective tactics/drills that can be used in any situation that i would like to cover first.
The next tutorial i would like to make will include "Bounding" , "Advancing to Contact" and "Defensive Disengagement".
