Leader or Follower?

I won't command ever again unless I have authority to kick and ban people. Months back I would say squad lead as I did often. But now I only occasionally do it and let others take on the role. I just want to be a member. 8)

Commander on conquest Maps, Squad Leader on Titan Maps (commander is a bit boring on titan), Squad member when I just feel like killin folks.

I like to do it all. I like titan commanding and SL, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood. It's a lot more fatigueing to lead well and keep up with the strats happening.

I really enjoy commanding, and I'll usually step up if we notice part way through the game that there's no commander, unless I'm already leading a squad. Lately, though, I've been squad leading almost exclusively, and slowly getting the hang of staying alive long enough for the squad to do something useful. I'd say it's a split between the two.

I have found the best way to stay alive is to run in, kill everyone and then have your squad follow you.

Your squad doing something useful after that is cake.

Because my coputer sucks, and maps load slow, I am usually a SM the first round and a SL the second. I will command when needed.

longer than the new 45 second load time?

I posted before I noticed this was in the 2142 section. For me 2142 loads faster than BF2. The 45 seconds is ok for 2142, but for BF2 depending on the map, and how long I have been playing, I usually get in about 30 seconds after the round starts. Which probably means that most people with decent computers are jsut fine with 45.

Come visit the hardware forums when your ready and able to upgrade. We can hook you up with a pretty nice system for 600-700.

hmmm...Filter's "i Will Lead You" comes to mind...

It depends on when I join in...if i'm joining a map in progress I try and find squads that aren't completely full yet, if everything is booked...creation of GOONIES is at hand...or if the SL's whose squad i join in isn't communicating with 1) Commander 2) the squad...i try to coerce the other members into a "better" situation that promotes exactly what we do,...TEAM PLAYING!
