I dont get it. Whenever I command, I cant get my team to destroy the enemies assets at ALL. I can give orders, ask people in the chat, ask in voice. Nothing works.

Yet there is always some lone commando on the other team who has somehow decided that its his mission in life to destroy all of my assets. It doesnt matter if his team has one flag left, on the other side of the map with the entire might of my teams armed forces standing in his way. I'll watch him walking across the map on my screen, ill spot him for my team, ill stick UAVs on him, I'll watch as members of my team drive within 5 feet of him and pass AS HE IS ON THE UAV TRACING. he may die once or twice but he keeps coming back, with an almost autistic determination that is quite scary, until finally *BOOM* and there goes my artillery, or my uav, or my scanner. Ive taken to watching the scanner and gunning the bastards down myself when they come around.

After I use supply boxes to repair my assets, (because i also cant get my team to repair anything, even if they were standing next to it with a wrench in their hand and NOTHING else to do), this lone commando will somehow make his way BACK across the map, use my supply box to rearm and do it all over again. AAAARGH.

Do what I do...just be an Engineer and stay close to your assets, or at least near transport.  This offers you a chance to kill the Spec Ops guy as he comes in, and repair the damage he causes if you can't kill him in time.

This tactic varies map-to-map, but being an Engineer definitely comes in handy when no one else from your team will help out.

wow too bad for you, most of the time when I do commander my team mates defend the assests (well not defend, defend but kill those that I spot) and fix'em when its broken, but I always stay engineer when Im commander just in case.

What about spotting an enemy spec ops for one of your tankers whom is about to capture a flag but the guy still gets C4 shoved up the arse.  Whenever my commander spots I always check my mini map to see if there are enemies nearby especially when in a tank; saved my life everytime. I also love to sneak up on the guy my commander spots cause he thinks he has stealth on his side; all of a sudden. *shank* I wish there were more commanders that spot. Just one spot is enough; let it blink until it disappears. It's funny when a commander spams spots and people get mad. I for one don't mind at all.

Whenever I die would check the condition of the assets and spawn as engi accordingly and try to kill the destroyer of assets because I know how it feels to have sucky team like you described. Been there done that; it sucks. I feel your pain man and frustration.

With luck maybe you'll one day get a good team that actually kills the enemies you spot and defend your assets. I think you will love it if I was on your team. I try to follow orders as best as I could and destroy all your spots. lol The best of luck to you on that.

I spam spotting like you wouldnt believe, and virtually noone does anything about it. In fact, I get bitched at for spamming more than I get teammates using the information for their own benefit.

In my opinion, the spamming is better than a commander that doesn't do any spotting whatsoever. I actually use it to my advantage and try to hunt down the sniper or whoever is spotted. Whenever I see on the teamchat someone telling the commander to shut up for spotting to much, I laugh. I mean if it bothered them so much why not just turn down the sound? Sometimes there is a good reason that the commander will spot a person; A) They are trying to sneak onto the base., or B) They've been there for a period of time. I like B because most the time they are afk or the enemy commander busy on the commander screen.

Haven't you ever encountered someone that takes the commander position and doesn't utilize the commanders special abilities? This one time a commander got gold with no uav, no supply drops, we received nothing from him. The funny thing was there was no mutiny on him not even once throughout the round. Maybe it's because we were doing good? I requested uav a few times but no response. Very annoying but oh well.

I usually call out spots after a scan, when I decide that where the UAV needs to be will not cover those other players.  Those I will call out, even if it means doing 5 or 6 of them.

I'm a big fan of playing maps when the enemies have no flags and I see enemies going for my assets.  I laff a little inside, but feel bad for their team.

I feel ya. I had the exact same thing happen to me a few nights ago. They captured the gatehous eon karkand, and they would just blow up the supply boxes id drop to repair my assets with their tank.

of course no one would attack the gatehouse, and capture it so they would stop blow ing up my stuff. people have nooo common sense. then they go ahead and complain that they dont have any UAV overflight! well go repair you freaks!

LOL. Are you playing Battlefield or Wheel-of-Fortune!? It's "vow", not "vowel".

Let me help you understand by giving you an exert from the BF2S Wiki stats: scoring-system!

Spec ops

*Destroy commander assets = 1 per asset. Example : 2x artillery and 1x UAV trailer = 3 points


If you don't like the way the game if played, you could always go play some lame RPG game!
