I just love when a squad leader...

[baggygreen]

Hey S**t for brains. This is the "General" forum. I came here to *itch cause morons like you actually take the time to read (which I am suprised a lot of you can do) and maybe some of you will stop bunny hopping around the server long enough to consider the "team play" aspect of this game. All three of my points are very valid and I challenge you to prove them wrong. j*rk *ff.

Love
Virussnt

Mate, yeh this is the general forum... there is, or at least was, a rants and raves forum as well. And you did say yourself that you were ranting a bit or something along those lines, so perhaps this was the wrong forum to post it. Having said that though, you did point out valid issues regarding squad leaders, and i assume you also wanted people to read it, hence you posted in here rather than the rants forum.

As SpecOp, 90% of the time I squad-up, I look for a Medic, or Engie as SL. I feel I can really help these classes do their jobs better and therefore make the squad more effective.

I would never go with Sniper SL for that exact reason. He's a one-man show. Nor would I squad-up with a flyboy SL (unless its the Black Hawk).

well im usually a sniper squad leader and i try to get close to the battle and close enough to where my teammates can spawn on me and help take a control point. while i stay just out of reach they can keep on running in

You must be the only one then (Sniper) that plays as part of a team. Most others I've seen play by themselves.

Bah... all you guys just like to flame regardless of the legitimacy of it. (I guess it just gives you a thrill or something or perhaps a small ego boost--whatever.)

virussnt has given a voice to some of my silent complaints about certain squad leaders, and I thank him for that.

First, I doubt anyone who is savvy enough to notice and then articulate these deficits is "noob" enough to join a squad with a sniper in the lead in the first place. What happens is the leader is lone wolfing it, and after you join he then decides to become a sniper, or almost worse, a jet camper. Even this can be acceptable if he were to give orders to his squad ("Defend here" or "Attack here"), but that never happens.

So you flamers put on your cute Captain Obvious capes and chime in, "Join another sqaud, you noob, or form your own." But that's the problem! There usually are no other squads, and if we wanted to lead the squad, we would have already created our own in the first place, don't you think? (I love team play, but I don't want to be the leader. As an analogy, just because I don't want to be President doesn't mean I prefer anarchy.)

To sum up, frankly, if you can't can't handle the responsibility, then you don't deserve the perks. Resign your position and let the other five people start playing effectively as a TEAM again. Thanks.

...spends the whole battle driving around in a 2 seater tank not allowing his other squad members to spawn with him. Even worse he is one of the last remaining players once the enemy caps all spawns and he just sits in his tank even when the whole squad is begging him to jump out of the tank for a second and let them spawn.

...gets the whole squad spawned into an APC (cool this guy knows how to play...NOT) then avoids any side roads or short cuts and runs head long into the closest enemy base which is gaurded by every tank, AT mine and pack of C4 the enemy can muster.

OK...I feel better now.

Wait a second. A squad leader who is a sniper can give you a very good spawn point that will remain reliable.

C11 is right - why ***** about something you can easily fix.

Ummmm what makes either one of them right or wrong? Why does vis not have the right to post what he believes. And why cant c11 tell him he is a tard?

Personally i think c11 should just give some POSITIVE input next time.
