GotY - How to give a command to the whole squad?

Morg · 09-17-2005, 08:11 AM

Inspired by the review on OFP I ordered the GotY-Edition including the extensions. I am just playing around a bit to prepare for the online experience

Unfortunately there is no real manual inside (apart from a short overview over controlling your alter ego) and I am a bit put off by the fact that I have to order every single squad member around individually.

Is there a convenient way to give an order to my whole squad? Any help would be greatly appreciated by my F-keys

Yeah, I also had no manual in mine (basically because I bought my copy second hand from a buddy). To answer your question, to select your entire squad, press the `~ key (tilde).

like he said...but what is really great is selecting, by the F keys parts of a squad like an AT guy to target then engage a tank... or select by the F keys, part of the squad like f4, f4, f6 for example then have then flank right while you take the rest of the squad up to a hill, prone, and "open fire" for suppressive fire.

Ah, thank you very much for the answer. I will try it out immediately

Regarding the manual: Was there none in the original game? They could have at least put in a pdf

Also remember that you can create fire teams:

- select members (ex. F2, F4, F5)
- menu 9 > 9 > assign red
- select members (ex. F1, F3, F6)
- menu 9 > 9 > assign green

The rest is very easy, just press 9 > 1 to select red team and 9 > 2 to select green.
