BF2S Forums UAV...a lesson for commanders.....

Depends who needs it most and how much they are helping the team.  What I do, is if a SL requests a UAV and there are only a few enemies around, ill just spot them and put the UAV in a more useful spot, so it makes everyone happy

If there are more than 3 enemy units defending the flag that one of our squads is prepping to assult, then I will put up UAV. You take a chance of missing one or two enemies if there are more than that, especially if they are close together. It's simple enough to spot them otherwise.  I put the UAV on the bulk of the enemy closest to my teammates, even if it is the Hotel on Karkand.

When I'm leading a squad and I have a friend who is commanding, I simply ask for a spotted on the flag I'm getting ready to take. I don't need UAV. If I see a ? on the minimap them we're good to go.

Commanders should place UAV around where the majority of the teammates are, so that more people can maximize its use.....UAV will have more potential to save lives that way ffs!!! IT'S CALLED OPTIMIZATION>>

I HATE commanders that place UAV around a flag for 2 to 3 soldiers....and when they die, it's practically useless and wasted.  All the while people depending on UAV are SOL!!!11 And teh UAV just sits there! GAWD YOU PEEPS R n00bS!!!!!11111one

So for those that command, keep this in mind if you want to be 1337 like mee and learn to help ur team win

Wagon,

The purpose of the commander is to help the TEAM WIN the round.

It is NOT the purpose of a commander to put up a UAV for a lone wolf c4/armor point whore to rack up more points.

Yes, deaths help score points, but capped flags, over time, take away a LOT more points.  Plus, do you really need a UAV for what you do?

I have over 10,000 command points.  You put the UAV where it will do the most good for the TEAM.  Most times, that is on critical flags that are being capped.  The gatehouse flag is CRITICAL to winning Karkand easily.  If I have a team trying to take that flag, they will get both a UAV and my help in spotting to make sure they see who is coming, plus a box of supplies just in case.

Sometimes the UAV goes over my spawn because someone has broken through and is blowing things up (they probably got through because there was some lone wolf a**hat that was more concerned about racking up c4 kills at the hotel than they were about trying to win the map).

Putting the UAV up where the majority of fighting is going on has many problems:

1) Noobs are drawn to the UAV.  Noobs running in to the thick of the battle = lots of lost points.
2) Many times, the difference between winning and losing is letting the opposing team waste all of their resources on one a two spawn points while you sneak in behind them to take the other CP's.  If you put a UAV over the "main" fight, it just encourages people to stay there instead of going to cap that undefended/lightly defended flag.
3) In a "target rich" environment, a UAV is really not needed, and is therefore a waste.

I will always put resources in a place that I feel will do the most good FOR THE TEAM.  Input from the team members is always welcome.

If I am commanding in a server you are in, you are encouraged to request a UAV whenever you feel it will help. But since I see "the big picture", it is ultimately up to me to decide where it will do the most good.

WaGoN_aTTacK has serious mental issues that he should get sorted out before talking again the forums.

Seriously dude, what are you even talking about here?

Actually he has closer to 400 hours and has explosives as his most used weapon Ive never seen anyone with that before. he obviously just throws the noob cube all the time...

I voted 'where people are capturing flags' - The single most important feature of UAV is to prepare for enemies spawning (or arriving) before and after neutralizing a flag.

'around the majority of soldiers' - When u are in the middle of combat, u will rearly need UAV.

'where the commander sees some random enemies' - This is better done with an 'Enemy Spotted', but do not clog the intercom with such messages, just spot the important movement, like when enemy is going to Suburb on Karkand.


A good squad leader will usually ask the commander to have UAV dropped when the squad is nearing an enemy flag. That is what UAV is for, to be at the disposal for the squads. The Commander has his own Spotted-command for individual spots done with the scan.

couldnt agree more!!!

Freak?... 0_0...

i feel the need to post here... just to ask you a few questions...

1.... Have you ever had a life?
2.... Is FPS Doug your mentor, and do you wank off to pictures of him at night?
3.... Does your voice squeak when you yell NOOB over the voicechat constantly?
4....Why do you feel the urge to act superior to everyone, and use language that most normal people would only use when they are trying to piss off their friends?

Ever since I saw you type lolz, any respect i might have had for you vanished.....

I didnt know it was possible for you to make an even stupider response, but you did.... I'm amazed...
I really think you need a smack to the back of the head.......hard.....
