Listen to the person on the VOIP, they tend to know what is going on and will not do you wrong if you listen to their advice. They will get you more kills and experience if that is the only thing you are playing for. YOU WILL get more experience by capping points then killing people, and you will get more kills if you are in the action.
Me and another guy are in the game and this is basically what we're doing.
"Get in the cap, lockdown in 2 mins if we hold it we win."
One person moves into capzone.
"GET IN CAP 1:00 and we win, just hold them off."
Still only two/three people in cap.
Another situation:
"Squad leaders mark artillery targets"
Wait 2-3 minutes while calling recon planes in for someone to mark a target
"SQUAD LEADERS MARK ARTILLERY TARGETS, I CAN'T FIRE WITHOUT THEM."
Another minute, as it is red October map, every minute without a artillery barrage is a major waste.
"SQUAD LEADERS BRING OUT YOUR BINOCULARS, PRESS F, RIGHT CLICK, I NEED MARKS"
Another situation I was ordering SLs to do different things and telling people to mark arty and I looked at role screen and no one was SL. People literally aren't picking SL on a full map, even though he gets to be a mobile spawn, gets advanced weapons, and smoke grenades, why aren't people picking this role?
I've gotten a crap ton of experience calling in artillery, getting a 3.00ish KD and having a blast, yet Commander always seems empty or not doing anything.
Does this get better? Was it like this in the early RO1 days?
You get the idea, you talk over VOIP and it is just noise, once in a CD match I told people the enemies were on the roof of a building and they just kept running into their kill zones. No one is giving a crap about anything anyone says.
