Squad leaders get screwed and u all know it.

[eddyeddyd]

The most effective thing a squad leader can do is put himself in a position just outside an enemy base so that his squad can spawn on him and attack.
this is especially true for 64 size karkand when i sneak behind enemy frontlnes and go to their assests, I often put myself in the water just on the wall and stay there, this is a good thing in the long run but overall until my squad takes 2 flags( i dont leave my spotunti they have 2) i dont get to fight or get points.

EA should realese a patch that gives squad leaders points like this

when someone in your squad takes a flag or helps take a flag then no matter how many of your squad members are there then you get capture assist points.

for every 3 kills a squad scored the squad leader should get one point.
and if the commander gives a supply drop that is a direct response(meaning the commander right click the request and clicks accept) then when squad member heal ,resupply or repair the squad leader should get the pints to.
Also because some noob commanders dont know they can right click the request if a supply drop is given close to a request AFTER the squad leader ask for it then they get the points as well, the squad leader however should not get points for killing enemy troops they should only get point for team actions like reviving resupply and reparing and that stuff.
this will encourage squad leaders to support thier squad by being a medic enginneer or support rather than running and losing the squads spawn point.

they will get kill damgage assist points they will simply get points for everything but kills so they will support their squad with orders and resuuply/health/repair.

alot of people might not like the squad leader not getting points for killing but hey...the commander doesnt and the squad leader is a valuable spawn point they should get on the frontline(a little bit behind it actually) but stay behind cover to allot squad members to spawn cover.

While I don't forsee EA spending another red cent on this game, it would have been a nice addition back in the day.

They spend untold hours trying to foster squad based play, while overlooking one of the most obvious ways to do it.

Re: Squad leaders get screwed and u all know it.

the only thing that pisses me off as squad leader, is that i often die when giving out orders.....

But there i nothing more pleasing after you have commanded your squad (who listen to you ), throughout an awesome round

Don't worry about points and it's not a problem.

Re: Squad leaders get screwed and u all know it.

i read up to where you say that you should get a point for 3 squad kills, then i had to stop. first...we have enough noobs already, no need for them to be leading squads. and also, you dont have to stay underwater. just hiding close to the action works, that way you can still kill people(as long as you dont stand up for 5 minutes shooting AT rockets at tanks). and ofcourse, it isnt your obligation to lead in the first place.

Re: Squad leaders get screwed and u all know it.

good idea for a mod maybe.....
EA is done with this game i think.....

i have fun hiding out near enemy control points..... especially when we are down to the last CP....i like creeping around and hiding out as a spawn point......it doesnt give many points......but i get fun instead....which is a kabillyun times better

Re: Squad leaders get screwed and u all know it.

I enjoy doing the above and dont need points to motivate me to do it. It allows for teamwork, and aslong as you aren't too far from the control point you pick up just as many kills but have a far better KDR.

Good idea but i'm happy with the current system :)

that would make people squad up more but more people would want to be sl rather than a sm, i think squad points in general is a good idea though.

Exactly. As long as my team wins, I'm happy. If they don't, because of various reasons, I'll type my unhappiness to them

Hey, finally someone that feels like I do, Squad leaders shouldnt get to poop out members of the squad, they should have to respawn at a flag...and if it has to stay that way, they should make it so you can spawn on the SL even if you have no flags...wtf is that all about?

If you wanna complain about bf2 more just go to 2142 they have all your gay little friends and squad leader points

Re: Squad leaders get screwed and u all know it.

Ive only just started playing(start of dec) and when i can i go sl to have sm spawn on me. It just seems common sense. I have had a couple of rounds with no kills because i spent the time directing the squad coz the commander was a blind and deaf twit and the sm i had were awesome so was not fussed about the points at all.
