This is copied and pasted word-for-word from his write-up over there. Does anyone have confirmation on if you can change the name of your squad after it's created?Īll the credit goes towards Dan 41875644 over at. Just use the Custom tab on the squad screen, and type in whichever name you want. The only times to lock your squad on a public server is if you have 5 other friends who are joining soon that you want to reserve spots for.Īlso, incase you feel the need to sound cool, you can type in your own squad name instead of the default Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta names. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO NOT LOCK YOUR SQUAD ON PUBLIC SERVERS. You can do this by using the Manage tab, choosing a player from the list, and clicking Invite. Another thing I forgot to mention that Yossarian has stated is that you have the ability to invite any member on your side into the squad (provided they aren't already in a squad). Just click the little lock icon, and only approved players are then allowed to join. This helps keep out the stragglers, and keep in your friends who you know will fight for you. Yossarian states that you can also make a squad private. Check the one you want to kick and press 'apply'. Press Enter, go to Manage Squad, and in the top you should see your squad members. UPDATE: To kick a member out of a squad, you must first make sure you are the squad leader. They will see you as a green dot surrounded by a larger red circle, which means they cannot currently spawn near you. If you spawn across the map, the other team will have time to drop in supplies, and everyone will be healed and restocked for the next round.Īs a squad leader, your squadmates cannot spawn near you if you are either dead, or in a vehicle which is full. They must be able to choose you as a respawn point on the map, and be able to get right back in the heat of things within 15 seconds. You must still be close to the action, however, as your squadmates will surely die. A sniper is typically hidden (if played right), and that gives ample time to survey the landscape while the battle is going on, and to give orders without the rush to find a safe haven to hide and not be killed. I've found that squad leader is often great being a sniper. In order to respawn next to your squad leader, you can choose them as a spawn point just like any other flag capture point. It's often important for the squad leader to stay towards the back, because it does no good for the rest of the squad to be seperated from the leader. As long as the squad leader stays alive, the group will stay together. At times, this will be difficult depending on spawning points, but one of the coolest features of being in a squad is that you have the ability to spawn next the squad leader anywhere on the map. I will cover this in depth at a later time, once I'm sure I have all my info correct.Īs for squad tactics, one of the most important things you need to remember is that a squad is completely ineffective and a waste of time if you don't stick together. Each squad leader has special skills that helps them direct their squad to certain objectives. I'm sure there are limits to creating squads, so at some point, you may be forced to join an existing one and work yourself up the ranks. To start a new squad, there will be the option of creating one. You have the option of starting your own squad, and inviting people to join in. If you are like me, you enjoy leading a squad into battle. Assuming the squad isn't full, just click the join button, and you are announced to the rest of the squad as joining. At this time, you are free to join any squad you choose. Right now, it looks like the maximum is 6 in each squad, although this could be changeable and I just don't know. Each squad will have the number of people in that squad, and the maximum allowed. Click that, and you will possibly see a listing of some squads that are already going. To join a squad, look in the upper-left corner of the screen, and you'll see a tab that says Squad. If this screen does not pop up automatically when you die, just hit the Enter key, and there it is. This is the first screen you'll see when you hop into a game, and it's also the screen you'll see most of the time in between deaths. In order to join a squad, you must bring up the class/spawn select screen. Everyone playing MUST know that being in a squad is infinitely better than just being on the team. I know, the demo has only been out for a couple days now, but hopefully a lot of you will read this stuff and be a lot better off the next time you play.įirst up, squads. However, this one is devoted to some strategies that I wish all BF2 soldiers knew. Hey guys, I thought it best to start yet another BF2 thread.
