Your most stressful Role

[Scot]

I think it's none,( i voted n00b) cos if you are finding this game stressful, then it's a game and take a break and watch TV or whatever. Yes you have crappy rounds, when people don't listen to you or whatever, but it's nay a stressful experience.

Yep! SL role or medic. SL for all the reasons stated. Been sl all afternoon and had an excellent time.

Medic can be pretty stressfull as well. You know that if you die ressing people the assault or defense failed! So thats a stressfull job and duty resting on your shoulders

Squad Leader > All Other Roles


You can go Commander and leave for 10 minutes and the team will be fine. They may not be able to build anything, but they will survive with rallies etc. If you are a SL who goes AFK for 2 minutes, be prepared for your squad to have split up, gone UA/AWOL, confused, and without direction etc.

To be honest, CO isn't really that stressful considering they depend on you, so if they don't want to do what your say, mute their mic or don't give them build orders. With SL, you kind of form a bond with your squadmates and depend on each other, so its much more stressful and frustrating to let them down or when they move to slow or go against your orders.

without the shadow of a doubt, SL.

removing smacktardic tumours and rasing teamwork capability is certainly demanding.

Tank driver. I love to drive, but somehow i always get stuck with the bossy gunner. 'Go here' 'Move there' 'Go!' It gets very stressful when i have to ignore my instincts and drive to my death because the gunner orders it and i'm not gonna start an argument on the battlefield over shared comms. Also as a driver you have a higher view then the gunner, so when i'm yelling out '2 tanks to our south west' the gunner sees nothing, and tells me to drive over there. "They're gonna see us as soon as we get over this hill" "GO BAD MOJO" BOOM we're dead.

Thats why i like gunning. Because i don't usually talk until we see a target. The driver is in my opinion the commander of the vehicle, he gets the say on where the tank goes. The gunner is just a trigger man and fires the gun when the driver finds a target. Sure there's always those times when people say "No shot, move up" or whatever. But as for the gunner deciding we should roll over this next hill and check things out. Keep ur mouth shut and let the driver do his job.

What bout medic?

[PFunk]

Know whats stressful? Forming a squad and noticing a familiar clan tag or member... then I feel like a nub telling them to do stuff thinking 'this guy is laughing at me'.

Its hard to start as any position involving a decision making process that directly affects others. CO, SL, Helo transport, Medic.

All pretty insanely demanding.

i dont have that problem. I just feel bad if someone leave my squad.

Transport Helicopter Pilot for me. You have to be precise, quick, being familiar with the map you're on is a must, you gotta watch out for AAs and what's more, if you get taken down a whole squad will be blaming you for their death. It's definetely not for the faint-hearted.

Being a medic is not as stressful and hard as some would imagine, in fact I've been mostly using this kit since I've started playing BF2, even in PR. People tend to avoid being one, though.
