A Short Guide To Being A Good Squad Leader

Re: A Short Guide To Being A Good Squad Leader

I don't often play squad leader, but I am quite frequently a squad member, and I have only one piece of advice:

Get into enemy territory and stay alive

Nothing wastes time and tickets like having to screw around getting to a flag again. I'm all for SLs that play support or sniper, since snipers can protect their position with claymores and support can spam grenades behind cover. Having not been on the SL side of things I imagine that this style of play can get kinda boring, but I promise that your squadmembers appreciate it.

-> Use the Commander! Make requests of the commander, everyone feels good when they can help out. If you follow orders, and communicate requests, you're going to get a lot more commander attention than the others who are just running around doing their own thing. It's a pretty incredible feeling to actually CALL IN the artillery, and have the commander respond, 'Roger that! Artillery, your area!'

I have battlefield 2 but i have to upgrade my PC b4 i can play so ive been reading these forums and practicing basic skills on the bf 1942 multiplayer demo.

What you said here is so true Ppl dont use teamwork often I like to type something like this when i want something blown up.


AIRSTRIKE/LOCATION/TARGET
example:
AIRSTRIKE/F5/TANK

sometimes i get no response and i have to talk to a pilot directly but alot of times a pilot eager for that elite battlefield feeling comes in on a run and bombs it.

it IS a GREAT feeling knowing you called that it.
