Thread: commanding....

well, i commanded two rounds on Camp gibralter tonight. i figured out that preety much the only thing you do is orbital and UAV. i tried telling people what to do, and they would say "negitive". overall it was preety boring. but you do get quite alot of points. one guy said "commander, you need a chill pill" when i told them not to go past ruins.

Ruins is a good place to hold especially with that bottleneck. Mmmm... It's the perfect way to turn a ticket deficit around.

I actually find sat scan more useful than UAV. UAV has a long cooldown and only scans a small area (and it really is a small area on some of the larger maps, like Sidi), while sat scan has a very short cooldown and shows you every hostile unit on the map. It's a great way to track enemy movements so you can have a squad there to greet them.

Orbital is always useful. EMP is really damn good if you can aim it right, but in my experience the damned armor will have moved by time it lands, pretty much avoiding it.

Supply drops are great for people that have just taken a flag or are about to take heavy fire.

yeah, i said to defend at ruins this round, but most people tried to move past them. we almost lost ruins, i had to gun down somebody that came in. :3

Any of the admins would be more than happy to kick/ban people who aren't following orders, and are hindering the efforts of the team by doing so. Whoever said to "take a chill pill" would have either had to smarten up, or gotten the ban stick to the back of the head in my book, as well as any squad leaders who were taking their squads past ruins. Don't be afraid to tell people that they can and will be removed from the server if they don't follow the chain of command.
