 A group kill is a shared kill between the team; obviously the player responsible for the last bullet wins the frag and the other an assist. But in reality you are competing against a team and should be working with your team mates. You can find general multiplayer tactics here and also the outside containment tactic here

  For example, Player R1 is going heads up against Player B1. The end result will be one dead and one alive, however if you include Player B2 into the mix, R1 may possibly kill B1 or B2, and then die. Or B1 and B2 will kill R1 outright whilst they both survive. It is obvious that the best possible outcome is 1 frag and no deaths on a team, by doubling your fire power you strongly increase your chances of victory.

 To execute the group kill tactic and play as a part of a team, players should always stay with their team-mates. I’m not suggesting you stalk them, running side by side (this is actually and extremely bad tactic as well placed grenade will kill you both). The players should work together to obtain advanced weaponry, and then stay together while implementing the Group Kill tactic against the opposing team.

  When faced with single opponents, the Group should attack at once and destroy the opponent, then search the area for more opponents. When faced with multiple opponents, the Group will need to decide on a target, focus their firepower on this target until he is eliminated, then focus on the next opponent, and so on until they are all eliminated.

 The best way to choose a target is have a designated team leader or the person in front call which threat to kill next. I mention the person in front because he may have limited vision, where as if you a behind him you should be able to see any threat they see. You can also choose by selecting those enemies with power weapons.

 If you are running a head of the group and encounter an enemy, as soon as you do you should fall back. This brings the enemy closer to your back up and takes you away from any back up they might have approaching. If you do find yourself trailing someone to close, freeze! Let them get at least 6-8 steps ahead of you. Bullets travel faster than feet, and grenades will hurt you both! Another technique use is simular to what Law Enforcement are trained to. Form a triangle with the assailant. This way you avoid friendly fire and your opponent will never get a double kill, that is, if he even gets one.

  The best way for practicing the group kill tactics is to play a lot of team doubles. Slowly you will find your rhythm and the best way to communicate effectively. I prefer to look at assists not as missed kills, but positive team work.
