Got couple of questions...

[PatrickLA_CA]

OK I got some questions:
First,What do they mean if they say enemy at 300( three-zero-zero) because 1 sq member told that to me?
Second, What kind of a bug is that squad bug and you mustn't create a squad before 1:30, because I got banned because of this just because I forgot to wait?
Finally,WTF is ALAH AKBAR, many guys on insurgency say ALAH AKBAAAAAAR in the beggining?

300 degrees, there is a compass with degree markers at the bottom of your screen. shows you directions from where you are.


squad bug thing is a myth as far as i know, play by the servers rules though.

alah akabar=god is great.

First of all i would suggest you read through the manual, it is kind fo boring but you will be a much better player afterwards

1) if you check you compass bottom center of your screen you will see that there is degrees as to where you are looking, so he saw a enemy at 300 degrees, then you just check your compass and look in the same direction

2) some servers have a problem with people making a squad before 1:30 until game start, this renders all other players unable to make squads on your team, and server must be restarted, and is not a myth, it just doesn't happen every time someone does it

3) Allah uh ahkbar(probably not right spelling) is arabic for God is great

Edit: ninjaed... had a feeling about that

There is a cumpas at the bottom of your screen. 300 means 300 degrees on that cumpass.
As for the banned for making a squad pre 1:30, whoever the admin was a bit of a twat. Nit really bann worthy. Not to mention Making a squad pre 1:30 doesn't cause the squad bug and I really wish people would stop spreading that crud. The squad bug is caused by a few things. The most common cause is making a squad before the server starts the timer.

Edit: damn slow typing on the iPod tuch :/. Got double ninja'd

That is usually what causes the squad bug, but I can see how some servers want all people to have a chance to get assets, 1:30 ensures nearly everyone has finished loading.

I am fine with the rule for those reasons but masking I behind false knowlage of what causes the squad bug leads to confusion and alot of pointless arguing when people claim to know something to be fact when it isn't.

Just a quick note:
The manual is a basic guide on how a few vehicles work. There are still a lot of vehicles unexplained; tanks cant go through water for example or not all APCs are amphibious (wich I learned the hard way). So you will have to learn a lot by own experience.

Dont forget 300 degrees at a compas for a teammate is not the same as 300 degrees for you. It depends on where you teammate is standing so you will have to approximate your own compas.

Thanks a lot!


LOCK PLS

wait i got a question
can you like not re-arm flares on yamalia or crates with the helis
i can never seem to re-arm my flares or crates do i have to put it exactly in the right place?

There's a dedicated landing zone for the helos, on the russian side there's a wooden makeshift tower (more like a hut) with a red vane. I don't know exactly for CF, but there has to be a similar zone.
