Proudest Squad Leader Moments

[Emnyron]

Uhm I have many moments...
Moments i want to forget about:
1. Flipping the saxon with my whole squad in it..
2. Saying "Mine mine mine" over voip... GOD those that was in that squad still bugger me about it... GAH! GET OFF MY LAWN!!

Moments i remember.
1. Ejod.
Those Shiny new M1`s... Mmmmm...
We had two of them, we laid waste to all of the buggers out there, thanks to our Engineer, best comment of that round was, "OMG THAT ASSHOLE STOLE MY TRUCK..."Gunshots" There, the idiot aint gonna do that again"
God I laughed soo hard, Not to mention the "OH FOR F****** Sake, ITS TWO OF THEM!... We ran into two t-90`s.. And won that battle...
2.That forrest map, with the rebels n shit..I fail at names..
We were the boys under the union jack, and we loaded upp into two saxons..
Needless to say, when im behind the weel of anything but a tank, and even then, it usualy goes offroad by a mile..
Anyways... After messing about with the cars, and finaly saying "F off" to them, my squad and I set upp our rally point, just south of the east tower, then we started out assult, it went good..
Then after a few pointless battles, becuse our commander did not have the guts to yell at his team, we got munitions under the jack...
Then pain came..
Still we held them off, and moved on to perimiter base 1, We got it, and then the best comment of the round was, "You know we are fucked now" as my squadmate said, becuse we was smack bam right outside of theyr main.. And they came, and came, and came, and came, and then the fat lady started to sing, and it was over.. The FinalFirst was best on the UK team by far.

I had a pretty proud moment today.

I joined a server running EJOD Desert at the very beginning of a round. I was in a squad where nobody was talking (which bugs me in PR), and the squad leader wasn't placing move markers or anything, so I left.

I joined every squad which wasn't locked or full, and not one of them had set up rally points or move/attack/defend markers, and each squad member was always miles apart from everyone else, people were all over the place. Eventually I settled in one squad, just because I'd tried them all. After a minute or so, the squad leader left and rejoined (which happens all the time in this mod - I guess they don't like the responsibility) just as I took the first flag with a random group, and I became the leader.

"Right, everyone move here and meet up with me" and everyone did it. It's SO easy, I've no idea why nobody else just talks to people. So we moved up and I set a rally point, and told someone to grab a support kit in case we needed it.

Anyway, our squad took the next flag by ourselves, and then defended it while our team took the next flag. We kept doing this until the USMC only had their main flag left.

At this point things got messy, with tanks and APCs shredding all the infantry running across the open desert.

I could see things weren't going well like this so I told everyone to load up into the APC, and got the driver to drive us around the side of the flag, and circle in the back way. We'd only just got out of the APC, when it was hit by a tank and we all died. Crap.

We spawn back in the city, and a guy in my squad notes (I'd noticed too) that our squad was the only one in our entire team which had set up a rally point. Everyone else in the entire team was spawning way back out our base. Luckily, there was an empty Vodnik right next to the rally point, so we all got in it, and I drove around the other side of the US flag to the little house at the very back. I set up another rally point, and our squad attacked the flag from the rear. We basically took that flag by ourselves, since the rest of our team was busy getting slaughtered attacking from the front.

It's amazing what a little bit of communication and teamwork can accomplish.

Yeah, i totally agree with you on that one!. teamwork can always work depending on whos in your squad and whos on your team, i remember one map where your at an oil field and basically me and my squad managed to hold the erm...Oil storage flag from enemy armour, we also asked the commander to send armour to our flag and help us secure it....

I always seem to be lucky enough to enter games at the right time where there are 3 full squads and locked squad. This time I sort of got lucky. There was a 4th squad with only one guy in it. I hopped in only to find out that the SL was AFK. I sighed and hopped in the back of an APC as it rolled to the city. By the time I disembarked I had a few more squad members each responding to radio checks. Thank god! We moved east of the city and set a perimeter around the area where the Commander was building a bunker while the rest of the squads moved though the town. I still had my medic kit and provided aid to soldiers in the area till the bunker was up. Once it was up I got my officer kit and asked for orders. The commander didn't respond, so I moved my 4 man squad north to a little elevated area of dunes due east of the gardens. We set up a Rally right as an enemy mechanized unit tried to flank past our dunes and hit the command bunkers. We gathered support weapons, AT gear, and marksman kits and laid withering fire on the advancing MEC infantry. We managed to flank and knock out the APC along with two tanks over a period of time. I gave my squad holding orders and provided significant fire down on the gardens (where they where advancing from) and waited for the squads to lock down their flags. Once the flags were locked down we made our way though town where I was surprised to see that these guys actually knew tactics, cover arcs, and bounding over watch. We made our way to the east side of town and captured the final flag before moving to Gardens. In the end we had knocked out an assortment of enemy vehicles and mangled any attempt by the enemy to reinforce defenses in the town. One of my squad members invited me to play on his server, which I have no problem finding a decent squad or commander on.

I don't lead squads that much, but I learned that like in reality, a good squad is made up of good squad members, not just a leader. Thanks for transforming BF2 into such a good game.

(read it in old pirate voice thing)
yarr listen here for a tale of bravery and heroism the like ye have never seen.

Yarr it was 7pm in the south west of daqing oil fields (PR version not vBF2)
China Bravo squad was approching the US base. Twas all going to plan until the devil him self crossed our position in his Cobra. The cobra then turned and fired at Bravo squad, Bravo squad responded by emptying their rifles into the chopper, yarr but twas no avial, Bravo squad had to hold out for 5 minutes for a supply drop, but then it came.

Chin (cant remeber actual name) grapped a SA-7 from the supply drop, he fired it into the chopper and down it went, bravo squad clebrated with a rice whine but their ordeal was far from over.

It was then that Bravo SL ordered Sargent-timo to plant C$ on the helipad to prevent further attacks, under the cover of his squad sargent timo advanced onto the main base, all was well the C4 was planted but then a us marine ran past down the stairs from the temple, sargent timo made a desision the marine must be scilenced, unfortunetly he was about to get into a tan so a quick burst fom hius rifle sliced the rouge crewman.

Sargent-timo called to his squad to say mission complete, and he began to return to the rest of his squad. Suddenly his radio crackld into life filled with cries for help from the rest of his squad.

An enemy APC was taking out the squad, sargent timo knew what he had to do, running onto the runway he saw an enemy marine he was dea as a 3 round burts slamed into him, yarr, sargent timo than ran up to the APC and chucked a mine underneth, then he ran like hell rounds whipping up the... concrete of the runway. BOOOM up went the APC. Bravo squad left for home.

Sargent timo was rewarded the chinese equivilent of the victoria cross.

The END

Great thread, despite all the SPAM.

had the best time today, went out in the morning for eye test (yay dont need glasses) then went and brought earphone + mic headset for PR, got home, set it up (after some deliberation) and joined in TB server (not the city maps one) the map was kashan desert and eager to join my first VOIP Teamwork squad i looked but there were no voip squads
not even a teamwork squad
so i took a risk and made my own VOIP TW squad (ive never been SL before properly) had a bunch o' guys join straight away and we set off to south bunker and set down our rally point without hassle, they all listened to me and followed my orders, moved up to south bunker and got a support on the roof opposite it to fire down inside, flashbang down the stairs and piled in killing at least 7 or 8 reds.took it, defended it whilst everyone else dissepeared (is it just me or does everyone on your team dissapear when you take one bunker, and they dont go to north either)
ok im rambling, was a particularly amazing round, but i think why i was so pleased was because i finaly got a mic working for PR, guys listened to me and said theyd be happy to have me as squad leader again.
and we were the best squad on the team at the end.
yay for mics!

ps if youre reading this and dont have a mic and dont think it can make much of a difference,
it does.
alot.
buy one.

Today, my squad breeched 2000 points(we were 21-- something). I probably have done it before, but this is the first time in a while. The second place squad(after mine on the same team) had 1080. Best opposing squad had 17-- something. Hell, and we even lost a good player and had him replaced with a semi-newbie, but did his job.

Any more 0.7 finest moments??

In 0.7, so far my finest moment was on fools road. My squad managed to take the helicopter base by ourselves, which seemed to contain the whole opposing team :P no tank support or anything, just our infantry and help from our suppressing MG gunner
