Battle Field 2

Smite et all have a point.

Those that come into the game fresh, let them get used to it before we get all serious.
Just think what you were like when you started and give them some slack, all the squad / commander / orders stuff can be a bit much to take in with all the other nuances.

Let's not keep some of the community away from the game by making fun un-attainable.

I agree that everyone should be allowed to get comfortable with the game. Just remember that the basic TCS principles still apply - if you aint sure, ask.

Try to buddy-up with a another dMw player and use comms. It really is worth the effort. Trust me

...how do you give your squad a name?

When selecting your kit, click on squad and at the bottom you will see a tab for custom squad which you can then call whatever you like

well.....

I reckon....

everyone has had a good valid point.

I haven't noticed any SERIOUS complaining...

I tried commander the other night with about 4 pubbers each side...

I must say, with only 2 guys on their own who do what they are asked, who answer comms and send info back via the "spotted" message on the command rose (stupid name innit?), it was very rewarding.

I forget the name, but it was a map with a carrier....I sat in the gun turret and did me commander thing...the other guys were very responsive and kept me in the picture, calling for supplies etc and saying thank you after they got them...which was nice

most importantly, they were using the "spotted" message to good effect...from what I can tell, if you centre an enemy whilst pressing q, then left click, that object becomes visible to your side for a while...if you press q then right click, you can choose to say exactly what you've spotted, which is handy if it's a moving tank or you're hiding.

I told them to repair artillery and the next time they spawned they were mechs...I said spike their guns, and they spawned as special ops...it wasn't rocket science, just common sense, and really good fun

as far as the squads go, Armi has it about right...2 man chopper squad...2 tank...

also...(im on a roll)....weight of attack is really effective...I spawned in a base and came under attack from practically their whole side....boy was it scary...and IMHO the transport heli with a parachute in to the flag can be the key to winning bases...


all should set to spawn on the squad leader or his location if he's in a full vehicle....that way you can keep up the momentum of an attack.

phew!

no complaints tonight tho....a bit of mild swearing from a few pubbers...who did apologise when admonished...gg's
