    I am, basically, touched.

    Why? Just because I met a really good squad.

    I have been away from the vanilla maps for a real long time, ever since Special Force came out. In fact, I must admit that much of my combat skills and squad experience come from Special Force. I never see this until one day, I took the time to check out my ID at www.bf2player.com.

    Just now, I am returning from "Strike at Karkand" map. Played it for the last 2 hours, very strange to me at the beginning. But as time went on, I get used to it again.

    I met 4 real warm chaps. If I may, they are all senior than me in ranking. And we all went together, we don't know each other by the way. Underworld_* is a real good medic, he can keep himself alive and saved my life consecutively 3 times! Every time I was revived, I was killed right away but he managed to revive me again within that short 10 seconds, just miraculous! Our squad lead is *Morrow* he led us cross the bridge to the other side. In 1 round, he was remaining around the factory, waiting for us to respawn and join him. When we lost a CP, he swiftly went on and occupied an adjacent CP and this way, we managed to dominate that part of the map for something like 10 minutes or so before we lost to the MEC team, actually the server craashed I guess. And within that 10 minutes, I switched between Support and Anti-Tank. In one scenario, I killed a MEC adversary by the Anti-Tank rocket launcher like I fired it without exact visual then by slightly moving to the right, the rocket made its right turn and hit the poor chap just right behind the Anti-Tank turret which block him from my visual. By the way, I found the Anti-Tank launcher much more effective than that in Special Force, in Special Force the rocket lost its trajectory to gravity, I could be wrong though.


    That is team work. I don't know if I can meet same quality of people on a public server again, but that was a prolific experience which I will recall from time to time. If only everyone would play to the fundamental principle of BF2's squad idea! However, I wonder how many out there are

    I hear ya, thats what makes this game a real blast. When you join a game and find good team work,i can play for hours win or lose when team work is happening. Other than that it gets frustating and not worth playing. good post man!!

          We played for like 4 to 5 rounds. Don't know if it was co-incident or we are professional , we always kept a 5 feet spread. I had forgotten to take a screen shot while we were running towards the riverside. It's always good to have that formation because we can keep the situation awareness (i.e. SA) to the most effective levels. Our squad lead is a really smart chap, he led us swim to cross the river to the factory area. This is good because everyone was fighting on the other side of the bridge and nobody was taking much notice things happening around the MEC base.

          There was another scenario, it was outside the factory, and I just walked past the bridge, Underworld_* was at my 12 O'clock, he was checking to his 3 O'clock, and probably a MEC adversary was respawned coz he just showed up like a ghost, and he was right on his 12 O'clock. He waas within my line of sight fortunately, a few shot was fired upon Underworld_*, he was taking the fire I guess cause he went prone, that was the best timing, as now I have a clear shot ahead, I was carrying the DAO, so 1 blast, the poor chap headed.

          If I am playing Medic, I may not join a sqaud, but if I am a Support or Spec Ops, I will definitely join a squad.

              Intriguing! I did that very same thing last night with some random squad I joined!
              As for that formation, on MEC side I have had great moments headshotting squads doing this from across the river, seeing them get revived then headshotting them again lol. Still better than going one-at-a-time though.

                Yah, I've been with a few guys in their squad who knew what they were doing. It's nice to work with those people who help each other out. Takes some stress out

                    I wish that I could find people that would work with me. I try to fly the blackhawk and everybody ababdoned me over the battlefield. Got shot up by enemy chopper. Same happens on the ground.

                      Yes, it is very rare on public servers. The best one was on Wake as a squad leader. We used VOIP and we dominated as the China every time.

                          I concur without reservations. You see, many players do not join clans, yet they play well and extend the function of squad to its fullest extent. If we do that, we can keep good team together. The team I met are really special. We ran in the same direction, we shot in the saem direction, we rode the same APC, whilst one of us was capturing the flag, the others are rotating full covering 360 degree.
