Thread: Leader or Follower?

Amen..... once I started taking the commander role, I started getting gold medals a lot more frequently.

When the squads are doing as directed, at least on conquest maps, they really bunch up the enemy into nice neat little packages that are great for orbitals so I can get some kills in also.

I just need to keep working on talking to a single squad at a time and reducing the chatter to the other squads.

I like being squad leader or squad member, but commander is just one of those jobs that I have done exactly once. It was good and bad at the same time. It was not on this server, but on one where voice chat seemed shoddy at best - and maybe that was the problem. I just have no desire to give direction at that level in this game, and prefer the more tactical position of squad leader. But maybe someday I would get to press that damned orbital button - just once.... Darned orbitals...

There are pros and cons to that also...I always get, "COMMANDER, ARE YOU TALKING?"
I have to say, "NOT TO YOU RIGHT THIS SECOND, HOLD ON TO YOUR PANTIES"

When it's global stuff, like Orb strike, EMP, or scan to let everyone know where stuff is going or coming from..the i use B.

Directing squads, based on circumstances, i usually v 'em.

oh looks like the number of squad members is rising keep up the voting

I have to say, being a squad member is very fun escpelly when my friends are leaders

nice lol

I do them all where needed. I love all positions and do fairly well in all of them. Nothing better to see when you create a squad and it fills up in secs. Or when you become Commander and everyone is thanking you for taking the hot seat for awhile and everyone wants to do you well as well as themselves.

After 3 or so rounds being commander does get your trigger finger itchy as hell. Then ill just goto SL and take my crew from silo 1 to 4 in a flash, set up defense and wait for the enemy titan shield to go down.

I had a SL, a newb i guess, that i had commanded to attack the enemy titan. He informed me that he didnt know how to launch from the APC to get into the titan. I exsplained it to him as other SL listened. I wanted to laugh but i started thinking i was a newb once not long ago and didnt have the chance of someone exsplaining to me how to do things and didnt know about TTP.

Long story short, after i told him how, him and his crew went in the enemy titan, took care of buisness, and blasted the hobo mother ship outta the sky. I was proud of myself, there SL for asking, and keeping the TTP morals alive.

YES ! ! !

Investigater.... that is EXACTLY the kind of stuff I'd like to see more of around here. You get squad leaders trained up, feeling involved and feeling like they make a difference.

THAT is how TTP keeps growing. We are those shiny light houses guiding lost souls in from the dangerous waters out there.
