Draeh,

That is very kind of you, and yes I will gladly take you up on the offer.

Another good way to get into locked squads, is to get on the TacticalGamer Teamspeak server, if you just go into one of the inhouse squad channels, or the Battlefield 2142 main channel and ask someone of you can get a spot in their squad, you'll most likely get in

Hawk I can't speak for all of TG or even all of the 3rd SFD but most people here at TG don't care so much about skill but more about the personality of thier squad mates and playing with the people they know are team oriented and they know that other TG people will be this way.

Whenever I lock a squad it's usually to get members of my IHS in it. But unless there are 6 or more of us on I'll always open it up. The only exception to this is if we are runnng a special squad(Like a gunship, apc squad ect.) or we are trying out some new tactics that would be too hard to explain.

At least once or twice a week I personally (and many others) try to get on and start up a "learn TG" squad which are specifically to teach non TG members the "TG way". Sometimes I get more TG people in these squads than non which I admit I shouldn't let that happen as much as it does.

Also usually if you jump on teamspeak and jump in one of the squads channels if there is room they will almost always send you an invite before they unlock their squad.

Most of us are adults here and can take criticism without getting upset. As long as you agree to follow our rules and play for the team over yourself you are more than welcome in this community and on our servers. I hope we see more of you on the forums and the server.

Well, typically, TG In-house Squads will temporarily lock they're squads to allow members of they're squad in. Then they always unlock it (unless it's an asset-based squad) to allow other TG and non-TG members in. Sometimes, if there is a full in-house squad, then the squad will fill up so non-TG players don't have a chance. At other times, there is only a few TG members on, and if that TG member is a squad leader, they'll usually lead a squad or two, and trust me, those fill up very fast.

You've just been unlucky man.

Like what's been said. Look for the "Learn TG" squads, those can only contain 3 TG members max. If more TG members are in it, last one in must leave. These are the best squads to try to get into and the best to learn from as the mix is perfect.

That is what is one of the greatest parts of being a part of a mature gaming community hawk, we encourage a post like yours. You didn't flame anyone, you didn't attack, you stated your opinion in a mature matter and it is welcomed, very welcomed. I am sorry you have not found our community up to the standards that you are seeking and I for one am guilty for allowing that to happen. I lock my squad at the beginning of the round to invite in my fellow 8th members first. If we do not have enough 8th members on, I invite people I have played with in the past and then at that point the squad unlocks and anyone can join. Is this the best way to promote ourselves, NO but honestly Hawk, there are ways for you to get to be part of the madness if you put in just a bit of effort. The best way is to get TeamSpeak up and running and get on our TG TS server before you start gaming. All in house squads have their own channels in TS, I cant speak for the other IHS's but you are welcome in ours at any time, just drop in and say hello. You see we want to play with guys that talk, have a great time and play hard, that is why you see "the good squads" fill up so fast. Get in our TS channel and ask for the invite, we would love to play with someone that wants to play hard and have a good time doing so.


Welcome to the community Hawk, again I appologize for us not living up to your expectations, stick around though, we will live up to what you are looking for, I know we will, we always do.

well, all in all, i doubt it's anything that has to do with TG or 2142 itself. I just think it's a slow time (not to mention the steady decline in 2142 players). Theres Bioshock, TF2, Halo 3, and various other games that people are now playing. Also, it's in the middle of the semester for highschool and college students, and i know, personally, it's coming around the time when the tests are rolling over you.

I think a good lesson could be learned here. If you all want 2142 to survive the onslaught of new releases this fall, you need to bring in new TG guys. Playing with your ihs is great, but lets not forget we are all TG. Lets hope the server sees an outbreak of learn TG squads now . Lots of random pubbers check us out. Some for only a game or two. All it takes is one good game to make a person put us into their favorites and then it is not long before they are on the forums.

The server is probably too easy now that 7th don't frequently visit anymore, people are looking for more challenging servers elsewhere

pedestrian01

We switch to a new conquest server not too long ago. If you had the old one in your favorites it won't work anymore. Do a search for the new one on the advanced tab of the ingame browser.

What are you saying? The other IHS' and regular server vistors aren't as good as the 7th? Even if you're joking, give me a break. Who's better is not what this community is about.
