To present another side of this *Prepares to get beaten down with words *, what about this situation? Today I was on the server and there were around 6 or 7 seven squads. About five of them were full or close to full. I looked at the mini map and squad screen to find what squad I wanted to join. One squad was entitled Mics and since I play with no mic, I didn't join that one. Another squad was full and had 6 people in it, all with TG tags. We had 2 CPs under our control. All of the squads but one ( I believe ) was at the center flag, defending, attacking from that position. The other squad was defending another flag.

Now when I play, I usually like my games laid back. I like to defend a semi-crucial spot that sees some action, but not the hectic levels of some center flag where half of both teams are. I also like to do a lot of flanking and stealthy maneuvers and attack lightly defended CPs and holding them. None of the squads I saw were doing this. Seeing that none of the squads were using the tactics I enjoy most, were full, or had a SL in a jet or heli, I decided to form my own. I know I have no mic but I still like to squad lead every once in a while. I spawned at the UCB and began issuing my own orders and executing them. After a few minutes, I hear Bommando over the VOIP system asking me and another squad to join a small squad. This was to merge the small squads. I gladly accepted and joined right away. When I joined the other squad, I found my SL was in a chopper flying around. I kept asking for orders but I never received any. I just started sort of hanging around another squad, defending with them. I didn't want to start a new squad because that would be disobeying CO orders. I have actually had this experience a couple of times, usually some people join my squad before I am asked to merge though. What’s a micless guy to do?
(Sorry that took so long to get down to it) (Please don't say just buy a mic...)
