and it was so awesome!!!
I don't mean that I just joined a squad, I mean that my whole squad communicated with each other, thought of plans and strategies, supported each other, took orders (and asked for orders) from the commander... In other words, we weren't just a bunch of people with a mobile spawn point, we were a real squad! My points shot way up for the session (I won't embarrass myself by telling you what "way up" means) and it was perhaps the most exciting game session I've had yet in BF2. I've had streaks of good kills, and I've had streaks of spawn-die-spawn-die-etc. And the good streaks usually go unnoticed and the bad streaks leave me frustrated. But last night even though if I were to compare battlerecorder vids with a week ago there might not be much of a difference, the feeling was so much more intense, even the spawn-die-spawn-die streaks were fun as hell. Our squad defended a flag for like 10 minutes (felt like 30) on a 64 person map against an endless onslaught of attackers... My average life expectancy was 30 or 45 seconds, but I loved it!
Go squads go!!!
On a related note... what the hell is up with "maximum number of squads reached"? Why in every single map are there always 6 guys who think that they're rambo and make one man squads? I realize that if the commander's a potato head that they can milk supply drops and vehicle drops, but do they ever stop to think that it's a team based game?
End rant.
I'm at the point now where I join a squad and if there's no communication in the first 30 seconds I leave the squad. If there are no squads communicating and working together I leave the server and find another. I might spend an hour looking across multiple servers for a squad that works together, but the next hour I spend playing with an actual team will surpass in quality (many many times over) the two hours I might have been playing as a lone wolf with a mobile spawn point.
