When I play I am almost all the time squad leader and alone. For does of you pissed off at snipers being leaders I can tell you I do not lock my squad and very often people spawn off me. Since I am away from the action and always closer to the other spawn points I think I am helping my team. This said, I often get invited in squads and I can’t understand why. If invited I always join. For 2 reasons: 1_If someone takes the time to invite It is impolite to refuse, 2_ I am curious as to why I am invited. One I join I usually get no order, to VOIP chatter nothing. Why do you invite me if not to build a strategy? What happens next... I ask for re supply to squad leader, not commander, and never get it. So I leave.

I will always join when invited but I have yet to understand why? Do you have a clue?

Edit:

OK clear question. To does who invite me or other players in your squad, why do you do it? Every time I join I get no strategic play ever, no VOIP communication and even orders. I I were to be a real squad leader and wanted to lead, when I would invite players there would be a purpose. I would give orders, build a strategy to cap and defend flags etc.

I can understand him ...I think.....

What he is saying is ...that he gets asked to join a squad ....so he does....but when he gets there the Squad leader does nothing.....no supplies...no commands....nothing...so whats the point

I have done this. 

The only time I invite people out of the blue is when I am behind enemy lines near an important flag and need reinforcements to help take it quickly.  A good example is the MEC factory on Karkand.  If I am alone and near it i'll ask for reinforcements in chat and if none showup quickly I will invite people randomly and place an attack command on the flag.

Perhaps you joined after the SL placed the attack command?

I understand this strategy. The problem with me is I never get killed LOL. BTW when invited after the order is issued you still se it on the mini map. I did happen to me a couple of time.

yeah i dont understand this also. i usually create a squad, if people join then fair enough but they have to follow my orders otherwise i will kick them out of the squad.

other squad leaders though must either be noobish and dont do their homework when inviting me into their squad or they must be impressed the way i am playing. If they are noobish then they probably dont even look at who is already in a squad and just invite random people into it, but then once in the squad they dont know what to do.

it ticks me off though when i am in another squad and the squad leader doesnt understand that if one of his squad members is asking for a suuply drop, UAV or Artillery, then he must then ask the commander for it otherwise the commander isnt going to have a clue about it. that is why i hardly ever join a squad anymore and am always the squad leader.

if I am lone wolfing it and get invited, then I will join and play as best I can with the squad.

I really don't see the need to spam some one with invites though if they are already in a squad, and I have been spammed before.
