"(13) Sometimes, you should make silly squad names."

I'm partial to "FUNSHIP"

It is pitch black. I am likely to give Frouvy Pouvy +rep for a great post.

Whoever's chasing you will likely be killed by said friendly.

Prone/zig-zag out of the way though when retreating, please do not get in your squaddie's line of sight, it will only lead to your squadmate hesitating, and both of you dying.

I'm sure it has been covered somewhere in here but for the sake of the bump...

When playing assault...drop your 1st medpack on the ground then whip out your second and hold on to it...you will heal twice as fast and it only costs you your first medpack.

When squadding up with Experiment... have your sprint unlocks and wear light armor .. or die through dehydration.

PS: Never wear heavy armor anyway. It´s not worth the lesser Sprint and just gives you 10% lesser damage while getting hit in the chest or the legs.
( explosive damage not effected )

Hahah don't worry i just figured that out just now!

Don't repeat my mistake whatever you do..

My squad where hiding behind a house and I was throwing nades like crazy.. BUT! By accident I hit the right mouse button... Dropped the nade in the middle of the squad and killed all of us..

Felt pretty embarrassed after that..

Advice when driving a tank: Look behind you before backing up!

Excuse me, now I am off to totally disregard my own sound advice and teamkill a few more friendly squads by backing over them.

**black_Mirror** · 10-16-2009, 04:00 AM

If your SM and planning to step up and SL any time soon than squad up with people of which you like their style of leading or know that they know what they are doing. Squad up with lots of different SLs to get different styles and ways to do things. Lean what kit-load-out is useful for which situation/flag and get in your brain that as SL more than half of the time your looking into your tactical map to make tactical decisions. Try to understand what they are doing in curtain situations and adopt what ever you think is useful for you. Because the next time Zhohar kicks you out of his squads to form your own... you better know what your doing!

PS: Make your tactic by after you have seen which members you have in your squad. You can´t expect random public gamer you have never seen before to perform like a full TG-xyz squad. If you have mostly public gamer in your squad start with simple tasks to see how they are working together and decide if you can go for more challenging missions

Only applies as playing medic

This is more a personal opinion than anything, but if a teammate runs in front of your line of fire while you're firing at an enemy, don't stop firing even if you accidentally kill your teammate. If you hesitate and stop firing for a second, more often than not the enemy will kill the teammate and you. Don't forget, you can always revive your teammate.

Of course, this only applies if your teammate is in revivable range.

kill them more than they kill you
keep your clip full
and never, EVER spawn green on Drennyn in a buggy

As said you can pick up most deployables but you can only pick them up if you have room for them in your kit. So if you deploy both apms and get resupplied 1 one of them you will only be able to pick up one.

On a somewhat similar note, you can only have a certain number of deployables out at a time. This is the number you start with in the kit. So if you already have 5 rdx down getting resupplied and throwing more down will make the first ones disappear.

As an opposite to this if you know there are enemies in a spot look for med/supply hubs to go down in that direction. The game even gives you the distance to set your rockets to.

(2) Proper way to hold spawn:
SL: "Hold spawn"
SM:
Press enter, highlight green. Enter when squadlead says spawn in.

==
(3) Commanders: When you get your commander's seat, say, "Commander on duty".
Many times, someone gets the 'big cheese' hat, starts blabbing away, and I think they're a member of my squad. And then I look stupid when I reply via squad-talk

(3.14) Commanders: Preface all of your statements with the squads it relates to.
ie. "Squad 1: Three infantry approaching Trash from Outer lock".
The squadleader will go into "listen mode", and realize that the commander is talking

They are approaching from the North East. They are West, uphigh on the catwalks. They are coming in from above via hang-gliders. Tobalk obin obenglobish obif yobobu nobeoben tobo.

They are NEVER NEVER NEVER "coming from the back."

Even better if you can remember SL names - it's difficult, but by mid-round try and get into the swing of it as people are more likely to pay attention when you call their name...[/quote]

^ This. I really hate it when people say "they're behind us" because behind me is a pretty big freakin area. Get more specific with your compass directions (NSEW), use landmarks (like flags) to get your bearings, e.g. you're defending South Town against Office Ruins and there are people coming from Church, to the North East of the flag (not from the stairs). If you say they're coming from Church, everyone will instantly swivel and will be running around looking at every Eastern entrance, spread out and not concentrating their fire on where they're coming from. "They're coming from Church, from the North East pathway" gives a much clearer indication of where they are. Clearer info = better picture of battlefield = better situational awareness.

Oh God, they're in the vents! Aim for their limbs!
