Area Attacks, what's the score?

Okay. That is a problem but when I command and this is just one way to do it I use the game timer as a reference as to when things should be ready, and deploy as needed. I've yet to command in the new version so maybe my system is flawed now, but that the way I'd do it.

Yeppers, that's pretty much what I wanted to know.

instead of "twiddling your thumbs" for an hour, try actually commanding.

what r u doing bro....don't instigate. maybe sqd ldrs should check in with commander and say something along the lines of "hey commander this is sqd 3, if you need us to do anything let us know but until then our mission is to........" something like that should be done by any good sqd ldr to encourage good commanding. and report intel...that's a big one.....if no one report intel or sends situation reports how is a commander to command?

Indeed, I was going to write a huffy reply, but Anderson already covered it all for me. Well, nearly all of it. Please check my other thread where I went into commander duties in some detail. ATM playing a commander is pretty much like playing a painfully accurate simulator of being the radio-operator in a taxi-cab company. You put pins in the board, you relay voice messages between different people; and you get a load of people generally ignoring you because they want to play a game, not get bossed around like they're back at work. If the players are on mumble / TS, they don't need you at all, as they can see the map exactly as well as you can, and don't need you to tell them the bloody obvious; IE "some defend the active flag, some assault the other active flag." It's not like AAS is brain-surgery at work.

%95 of the time there is no commander present on any of the servers,because of the simple fact that, PR players dont want to command,its boring and has no effect on a pub game,that is why he used "twiddling your thumbs".
