Squad leader for the first time. Wow. - Page 2

SuperTimo · 09-25-2007, 04:10 PM

nice one!! its hard work being an SL espically when u have whiney sqad members who go rambo, i always if i make a squad call it somthing relevant such as armor, pilots, or on a n infantry map eng VOIP usually works well.

i had a good squad on mestia bout an hour ago went okay but we were let down as we had no commander.

thats another thing i have noticed no commander often=lose or crap commander=lose squads need cordination as squads cant talk to each other [without team speak(stupid BF2)]

good work though mate!

Luckily my whole squad behaved well. There was a rambo or two and that engineer never, to my knowledge, made it to that bunker to build it (I left the round prematurely), but it all worked out great, to be honest.

I take it Sandhurst is an OCS?

But anyway, we need more SLs in the field! One of the few times I played as a squadmember, I played with StrikeTeam and the SL at the time knew his shit. A little more experience under your belt man, and you'll be a fine leader. There's that saying that goes something like I would rather have a leader who makes bad choices than a leader who is indecisive.

Good. We need more squad leaders who take the job seriously.

A squad that sticks together and follows orders usually gets a high combined score compared to a squad of, even skilled, rambos.

The most important part of running a squad is communication. Give orders, ask what members' status is, tell people out of position to get back in position. Kick people who do not cooperate.

I want a headset with a mic more and more for every game I play

. Would be great to have for World in Conflict, too.

That happens. I hate it, because when people use it they don't ask me out right, they just use the commo rose and ask for new orders even though I told them what to do a minute ago. I guess some people just have ADD or something - I tend not to pay attention to those, as you usually can't say who said it anyway.

That was my guess, too. That 'We need new orders' is short for 'Squad Leader, I feel this spot is not under threat of attack and that it would be a better allocation of our resources to move against South Bunker with Squad 1'. Which admittedly takes a while to type up.

And page down is for: No, we are staying here defending this point against hostile counter-attack that is underway right now.
