"Attack this Position"

[hankdane]

When a squad leader gives the "attack this position" command, how do you know where he wants you to attack? Defend I can figure out, I figure it's where he is at, but the 'attack' command usually leaves me confused.

It puts a mark on the map . . .

Normally on the small round map you have the directional arrow showing where to go, and what to do, colour coded and with specific icons for different commands

a line should come up on your minimap leading you to the target area.

Seriously?

It's the Orange sword, with the long orange line attached to it.

Defend is purple. Move is yellow. Repair is purple wrench. Do you have the manual?

in addition - orange smoke gets popped on the ground where he wants you to attack.

That got me thinking. Do the enemies see the smoke also? I guess not

Press 'F10' to clearly see the position you need to attack. :)

Spawn on the SL and stick with him at all times.

No chance for confusion.

Yeah, that is the best advise.

Make sure your mini-map is on. If you receive a SL order and you're dead and looking at the spawn screen you cannot see where to attack. You must go back to the full map or mini-map.

I don't get it. This isn't Counter-Strike.

Oh god, it's the old f10 trick again ... the amount of people I've seen buying that .. amazing:p
Joint ops was even better: "press alt-r for quick reload" *9 people suicided* LMAO!

Back on topic: dude, how long have you been playing this game? I know it may seem a little confusing at first, but this is basic stuff. Read through the manual AT LEAST once to make sure you don't miss something important (like me ...)
