BF2S Forums Go To The Suburbs!!!

It depends on how your force is organised. A batter of the Hotel can work. However, seemingly your team was just pretty worthless! Bad luck!

A lot of the problem rests with the large number of commanders out there that rarely command.  Most commanders don't actually command at all.  You are probably one of the exceptions and when someone like you actually commands, winning becomes easier.  The only time I actually listen to the commander is when he/she orders over voip.  Keep up the good work and continuing commanding!

I'd like to find a commander that can use his assets - for example.  I play SpecOps quite a bit (note: I never said "well").  I have yet to hear a commander tell me "Grab the Support Guy and go blow things up."

On the other hand - I did tell my commander on Karkand that I was going after assets, just as I approaced the water to swim across, he dropped a perfect arty barrage so I could get across safely!

I had to go out there myself as commander and capture it seamlessly just to avoid the bleeding due to these worthless squad leaders that do not listen at all.

Anyways we lost the round because nobody listened and by the time I got there we had already lost 40+ tickets.

LISTEN TO YOUR COMMANDER SQUAD LEADERS!!!!!!!!

totally agree +1

Thats the problem, I use VoIP and most of the time it works.  But this time I was in a server without it and trying to tell them to go somewhere is pretty much useless. Thats why if nobody listens I tell every squad to some hope that maybe, just maybe that they will listen to me.

Anothr reason why I play only in servers where voip is enabled.

I allways start Mec at suburbs and Hide C4 on Sand bags. When that flag goes White... WHAM !

Your probably one of these nobs that drop artillery on the flag you have just sent all the squads to....

A few days ago the usual Karkand Hotel clusterfuck was happening, so a couple of us managed an end run and got to the gatehouse, turned the flag and started taking out assets.  We received no support from the other 30 on USMC (despite asking for it...)  and could not hold it by ourselves for long. We asked why no one would leave the Hotel and come help...

Here's the n00b answer that we got....

"Cuz it's the main flag"

As far as I can see, the only strategic value that flag holds is to keep the USMC troops focused  there and keep them from capping other flags! Yes, some need to stay there and keep the MEC from getting into the US main and C4ing things or stealing rides, but that is NOT the main point to capture. It is far better to get behind the MEC, stop the drain quickly, and then attack them on different fronts.

An efficient commander with squads that will listen can wreak havoc this way, whether it is the suburb flag, square, or somewhere else.. Divide and conquer folks

In fact it is the only way to win a round as USMC.
