vonSteuben, I think that rights you, if all was how yy tells, simply many play only for the sake of itself and earning of score, many do not understand the roles of commands and kommander in the game, but the played command stronger not played, but excelling at a quantity.
do not pay attention, he can wanted ride on tank, or can you by chance crushed him...

I know for sure I didn't crush him I was standing a bit back from a flag and giving covering fire and support with the main gun when the Infantry rushed for the flag and the guy accusing me of camping the spawn and "whore" stood at the right side of my tank. I had no teamkills in that round and the only team vehicle damage I did was to a Hummer that had closed in on another flag while I was firing at a running MEC and turned the turret while firing and *oops* there I sprayed some bullets on that Hummer.

As for commanders: I hope I will find some good commanders soon again that will realize that I am the leader of a squad of 5 and requesting orders for some time already. (best would be he realizes that I need new orders before I have to ask )

And I hope that the commanders will realize that I am a lone Engineer (on some maps I open a squad as leader when the other squads are full or the leaders are piloting all the time) and doesn't send me off across the whole map to capture a flag all by myself


But I love the work of a good commander and a good squad, either as leader or member, this is the most fun of all.

See ya,

vonSteuben,  to call you, when I next time will there be kommander?

Some more tips:

- Be Squad Leader and pray for a commander who really support his team. This means: Call for UAV via 2D map and place it like you and the others need it. Ex: Don't center it on one flag when it's range can reveal three flag zones (on city maps). And call support not only for you, call a supply drop for the tank which is already smoking and need a drop also.
- There's hardly a chance to win when your commander is only in the battle and don't see the whole situation. Worst: Flying commanders.
- When using frag machines like tanks, APCs or other mass killers: Support the infanterists when they cap flags. They turn the flag and you watch out for enemies (not that fix rule, but often a good advise). AND: Don't rush into enemy territory, expecially not alone.
- Support mentioned killing machines. A tank driver will do a better job when he knows that his ass and sides are surveyed by you (no C4 or AT fear ).
- Two vehicles with engineers live four times longer than lone wolves
- Flag work is sometimes more important than killing three guys who are hiding on a lone rooftop. Have an eye on the ticket loss.
- Hovering choppers low over ground beg at all tanks and ATs to get shooten (T-90 against Blackhawk - A lot of fun on Mashtuur ). The M95 is also a nice tool to stop flag capping pilots.
- Don't underestimate AA Tripods and against choppers. One vehicle kill can mean up to SIX kills . And there is no need to stay in - Shoot twice and search for a hideout when he knows your position, shoot again when takes the turn. See my stats

vonSteuben, if I use your rules for medic, yesterday we would lose round, simply you need statistics of kills/death, and I need the real efficiency...

more credible than all he had because of to put to death that, who put to death your ally

there are different situations, and very often enemy putting to death your ally hurries farther, and you search him on an old place...but in the situation described by you more correct to put to death an enemy, and then to treat.

I discern no difference between a ranked and unranked server, except for possibility of improvement of weapon... to me and there and there merrily...

@spacebandit72: There is a different kind of "atmosphere" on unranked servers (in my opinion)
A bit more "gung ho" mentality but a lot of teamwork as well. Probably because there are no stats to watch and no fear to spoil some achivement you made. I actually play on unranked servers about 1/3 of the time, just for the fun of it. But the unlocks are tempting to get So I spend my time to slowly advance towards them. If I want to play BF2 for the pure fun of it I always pick an unranked server.
I registered my account on June 24th last year, but didn't play for about 5 months after the initial phase on unranked servers. Only started to play regularly at the end of November last year and started out on ranked servers most of the time. So I have a "legacy" of my bad starting time.
But since I can not buy anything in real life with my points and the badges, ribbons and medals only are pixel on my screen I couldn't care less

@BlackKesha: I don't have any chat programs or Instant Messangers installed on my PC. I might install Teamspeak sometime in the future again, but right now I only use the VoIP from BF2 when playing.
(Had TS installed when playing World of Warcraft, since we had to talk during raids and WoW doesn't have VoIP)

See ya,

Time and Familar with maps; that's why you see alot of people stick to one, I am like that , I find myself sucking big time in non-city maps ( it's usually me against a tank and I'm medic.) There can be 64 people all around me and the Arty seems to find only me... Anyway have fun, and enjoy the unlocks, you find it better to not worry about stats just play and have fun.

I prefer city maps as well, not too much airpower and you can at least try to avoid the tank that is rumbling down the main street by using the smaller alleys.

The line about the Arty made me chuckle, since I had the exact same feeling yesterday evening. 40 people on the map and the Arty struck at the spot I was three times in a row... only casualty on our side in all three strikes was: vonSteuben

I was killed by the Arty on the same map two times more, but that was not in a row

Go down to a gaming place, see if you can find some decent player/s look and learn. See how they position there fingers what button/s they have bind on the mouse and just stand back and look and learn. Ask them what you don’t understand and why they did that etc.

Was there my self when game came out but I think it’s pretty much about being able to “play piano on the keyboard” and you only get there by practise over and over again.

Look and learn from players with experience play with them ask them………

All the best and good luck!
