Normally I play with a set group of players. We do extremely well together, typically winning almost every round. We rotate squad leader and we all play in a very similar way. Most of us are proficeint with all aspects of the game - aircraft, helicoptors, armor, and all kits for ground pounding. Of course some of us are better than others in certain aspects, but I would consider all of these guys above average and very good at the game.
Most of the time we have a full squad, but at times we get short and people join who we don't know. Yesterday we had a squad of 3 regulars and 3 people whom we did not know. I was squad leader and we were playing on Mushtarr. One of the guys who joined my squad, who I did not know, started telling me how to play. I was playing assault, as I normally do on mushtarr. He told me I should be a medic and that I should hide an let the squad do all the fighting while I should remain a hidden spawn point for the squad. Sure, that can be a good strat at times but I don't play normally that way and neither does anyone in my normal squad. We all go in unless the danger is extremely high, then the SL hangs back. He persisted "do us a favor, stay alive". I started heading towards the Mosque and told them all where we were going, and to please stay close behind. Unfortunately the guys did not go to the waypoint I had set (except for the squad regulars) when we ran into a full squad of 6 headed for the backyard. We took out a few of them but the 3 of us died. The guy complained and told me I needed to stay back.
I told him to start his own squad if he didn't like it and he left.
Fact is in most rounds you will see our squad in the top points every time with gold silver and bronze. In short, don't join a squad, especially a squad with 3 or more sgt mjrs, and start telling others how to play the game. If you want to play a certain way go for it, start your own squad and lead and play how you want to play.
When you have 3 stripes and you start telling a Sgt Mjr how to do things, you need to take a step back and realize that the Sgt Mjr is probably pretty damned experienced and knows what the hell he is doing.
