I'v been commander a few times and Squad leaders refuse to place artillery markers. There excuse: It lags the server. We lost every round we didn't use it while the other team pounded us, it was pretty sad.

I noticed Commander can not place markers, but if he could of our team might of had a chance.

I also believe that if a commander selects a squad leaders artillery marker, said SL should receive a team work bonus +kill assist for each kill the commander gets with that artillery strike.

AFAIK, commanders can easily lay down markers. It's what I always do anyway.

Agreed on the second note though. They noted a good spot, they should be rewarded for risking getting shot to get a visual on it.

Mine never place with the binoculars! Can you guys tell me what the trick is to get them to work? DO I have to point it at the ground and then hold B and place it? It never seems to work I assumed you couldn't.

If you point at the top of a building a lot of the time the markers won't place.

Also I've had a couple instances where the marker appeared to place properly but was actually place on top of me on the tactical map
