Commanding

I always spot enemies out using the squad comms, unless people specifically ask for a sat track location of an enemy, or if there's someone sneaking around I want a squad to go kill. Usually, squad leaders respond much better to this, since it cuts down on the radio chatter and they can't see much of the map anyways.

I can't communicate with my squad when all I hear is the commander. My personal choice is to drop UAV for squad A and spot for Squad B when they are assaulting a hostile flag. Once you spot the enemies for them move to squad C if needed. There is no need to spot all 30 enemies on the entire map for the entire round.

most of the time I am a commander I do this. I would like to think that a squad leader/s who where being irritated by this would mention on the commander channel that it is annoying them and ask me to spot less, or cool it for a bit (politely of course

) . For me, this goes for any aspect of command when I'm commanding. A few times I have heard squadleaders bitching about the commander to the rest of their squad. And some times I get the feeling that they don't say anything to the offending commander. I would hate to be one of those commanders. If I am doing something that is not liked by squad leaders/squads, please tell me or get your squad leader to tell me. I don't think I'm a bad commander, I'm certainly not one of the best by any means. I think I could do with talking more on the mic, but looking at threads like this, it's hard to gauge. Most of the time I command is because no one else is doing it and the wins I get are mainly due to the skill/verve of the squads on my team.

Do I babble?

Not as a squad leader.. I don't think I've even been a SL while you were commanding.

Is it me or is it so hard to find a decent game on the xbox 360

people always seem to go off and do their own thing or start shooting each other!

seems so rare to find a good game from the quick match
