Who out there is a Commander ...They do it often and they love it?

You will know what im talkin about when I try to discribe this.

When you use the Scanner on Jalalabad you'll notive a 2.5 second delay before it actually reaches the map, this isnt apparent on any other map.

This happens because the Scanners start location on screen is all the way to the left instead of right where or just before the Map Hud starts.

If you know the Speed in which the Scanner travels, you can actually confirm this by Clicking Scan then placing your mouse to the left edge of your Screen and moving it to the right at your estimated speed. It will line up perfectly.

I don't know if anyone cares but Its something I don't belive has been mentioned before.

There are other maps that are like that. The 64 player Karkand is like that.

Yea, you're actually right, other people seem to enjoy this map, it's just another Karkand in my eyes, just a soup of grenades, artillery and medics.

EA don't know how to fix it, because EA isn't a game developing company, all EA knows is marketing techniques, because DICE is the developer! ffs!

During a 64 man game there is alot to do. You should be constantly doing things.

I'm very frustrated about this, especially when there's a guy sneaking and I'm trying to find him before he finds me. I had noticed something off about it compared to when i commanded on other maps. Nice find.

I don't know what your talking bout with the delay, but I have noticed that when I scan and zoom out all the way from full zoom, it loses the scan sometimes, or if I exit and go back in it losses the scan. I guess you just have to remember to not do that.

Off Topic: I had a helluva good time commanding last night though. I am a rookie commander, so I was on a server with 12 people on each side. I had everybody in a squad, and they were talking to me over voice. At first i just typed back to em what they wanted to know, but then I thought to myself "Stop being a lazy shit. Just get your mic." and I started chatting with everybody.

When I noticed an enemy squad trying to sneak over to the cement factory, train accident or Suburb, I spotted them immediately and told 2 squads to get back and defend. It worked great. There was a time I was at the suburb on top of the building, and I had 4 of my guys coming up the road from the square to defend it. I put down a uav, 4 enemy's, full squad behind the pool house spawn point. I started throwing grenades and spotting them as fast as I could. I gave my guys some cover fire with the mounted machine gun for a few seconds to keep the enemy at bay (And right where I wanted them) while my men got in position (Near that hill between the two roads) They focused their fire on me most of the time until they realized they were under fire from their 3 o'clock. We surprised their asses. (Puffs a cigarette) two of them went down, one of ours. (Damnit Johnson! He was a good man. His wife will never recover.)

Their squad leader sat back and hid like the rat he is, so the fight ensued again. They realized they were pinned down, and made a mad dash for the flag after throwing grenades at my squads position. I popped up (Still on top of suburb building) and picked em off 1 and 2, the third guy fired back and hit me, so I took cover as fast as my skinny ass could. My men saved me. Thats what good soldiers are for. Delta squad and Alpha took over, they rushed the enemy position and killed the squad leader. And the day was done. We decimated the round 215-0.

^True story, sounds like something my uncle would say about Vietnam I thought I would add a little punch to it.

Heres a question, (misplaced my manual) How to you talk to only 1 squad at a time, I only knew of the V button but that talks to all squad leaders...

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

Complaining about 2.5 seconds for a scan to reach a map is even more patetic than complaining about the 0.3 seconds you can't shoot when going prone->crouched.

its not a bug. its because they only utilize a very tiny portion (just under half) of the available map size on karkand and jalalabad and they photoshopped out part of the extra minimap.
