BF2S Forums when im commader......

Yep, nobody listens to you as commander. Or they're like "yes" to orders but go in the opposite direction. You can have some fun with commander though, i.e. cartilerry on friendlys, or telling one-man squads to "divide up and form two squads" "you have your orders soldier" and spamming "my grandmother could do better". Gotta love the no flood-control as comm..
But yeah, i try not to play comm with a cappable base, as nobody will defend it.

Yeah... I feel your pain... Everyone knows they have to protect the ass-ets ; for the commander to a good job. Either it being on Karkand, Warlord, Dragon Valley,Sharqi, Night Flight or any clumped together assets, they need to be protected. But everyone has tunnel-vision and want's points so bad that they head for the front of the line, not to defend mind you, to attack the uncaps...wha?? And when the assets are destroyed who are the first people to either mutiny (which never works) and complain. Another thing I hate is when a commander first gets the job and you see one UAV in 20 minutes.. then when the games round is almost over he leaves. Or when your assets are destroyed and you have a tanker bitching, "where is my crate asshole, I've called for it 50 times", I just want to say " You're engineer fix you own goshdang tank or repair my shit!" Of course when I spot enemies I've been really lucky sometimes, the troops actually respond to them and mow them down, spotting does wonders, for the people who don't like spotting you probably are the ones at the front flags looking at your kills everytime you die to see if you are MR. Badass. When Im drinking beer, Im a defender. I help the commander. Because with one hand thats basically all I can do is AT or snipe.

low ranked players do listen to you, if you say attack this position they will do it
even if it is an island in the middle of nowhere

i will always, ALWAYS try and take the tv station, as long as i have at least 1 medic in my squad, otherwise i cant do my bomb disposl duties (ie. walk in and blow up the claymores with your face, then getting revived).

its not always gr8 to have tho, as it can get raped massively by the havoc.

i agree but commander or lone wolf have you guys ever had a team where you felt that you were the star and your team were lazy fat asses who didnt follow orders....i was on a server where i kept dying and there were 4 team medics and they didnt revive me....no one was attacking so they were free to do it...god...have you guys ever found a good team?

The thing is - the Cobra can easily take care of anyone trying to take the TV station. small room full of soldiers + big ass minigun = lots of dead people. of course, the cobra is never up for long because no one who can actually use TV-guided missles is ever in it so the Havok always wins

the secret is just tell the chopper crew before they even reach the TV station

Yup have to agree when commanders spot everything heading to areas most will b intercepted b4 they get there far better than taking stuff back make sure they never get it only need 2 fast moving squads they can protect the whole map

i love being commander, but it sucks that the squads don't follow orders... thats why it's good to be in a clan...

how do you do that? I don't play commander much, first time today actually, but I've heard some other commanders using those...

Most of the time the scenario you described is pretty accurate lol, and its annoying yes.  But other times its annoying when the commander tells me (an assault kit) to go make repairs here....and Im the squad leader...and the only person in the squad.  Doesnt make sense to me.  But I feel your pain man

commanders that ask you to repair his commander assets often dont know that they can repair their shit with supply crates

you're right about Sharqi, but that's because TV station is impossible to get to.  There are other capable mains that are a lot easier to defend, and people will defend those.

Also, a commander can reward people who follow orders...dropping vehicles or supply boxes, or giving them UAV when they ask, even though more people want it elsewhere.  That works really well.

I agree, but there's just not enough people that actually listen to you, in my opinion.
