A Couple of Things

First off, I went Commander last night on Spies which is a rarity for me. I was spotting enemies and didnt realize it was sound spamming the squads everytime I did it. I know that had to be annoying and lessen learned

<Rant>
Second,
Over the last couple of days there have been some really childish play on Aces. When someone is waiting for a jet to spawn and you see them waiting.... don't take it from them. It isn't a competition and there will be one spawning in a few minutes. Wait just like that person did.

If you hop in a Jet...take off. Dont get half way down the carrier and then decide to stop and back up. The person behind you is trying to take off and this tends to cut the runway just a wee bit short. And if you are going to do this..for all that is holy, dont punish that person because you are trying to parallel park and the taking off personnel puts his plane up your backside.

Third,
If you are a SL help your team out a bit. Don't mark an attack marker and then decide to after you are killed to leave that mark in place while you decide to attack another location and then wonder (angrily) why your squad is still on point A following your earlier orders.

3a: I have no problems with my SL being a sniper. If that is what you are the most successful with and can utilize it long range and in close quarters, go for it! But please...don't put out claymores as when your squad spawns in we will surely pick them up for you and not the enemy.

And lastly,
Don't do any of the above...especially if you are wearing the TG tag. It makes it even more difficult to excuse the behavior by assuming they are new to the server and gameplay.

</Rant>

Whew...I feel better.

Re: A Couple of Things

good post!


The CO spam spotting is only really useful in two situations... first, is just before a friendly attacking squad makes contact at a defended flag - it gives your attackers a little advantage knowing which buildings/bushes/whatever are hostile.. second, is to spot flanking enemy soldiers... i.e. enemies that are going to catch you're guys by surprise.

To be fair - that was several things.
