It's funny how command chat is typically either 1: A barren wasteland of coordination requests falling on deaf ears or 2: The unadulterated ear cancer of SLs yelling at and blaming each other for how poorly the game is going.
you left out the casual evening smalltalk, where you cant get a request in because someone is busy explaining the importance of agricultural taxes on the british economy
My first game on I had an excellent squad leader. Followed his every command and I ended up with a few kills, one death, a couple revives, won the round, and we got top squad! It was an excellent first game and taught me more than the tutorial could ever.
Honestly, while I have experience to run anything short of Marksman or Pilot, I find I’m actually better at just being a 2iC flex for the SL; someone who helps juggle positioning, squad management, intel and role prioritization. Who knew that supporting and pushing back on SLs would actually make the game more fun and enjoyable?
Honestly as an SL, having someone leading my troops into battle, especially in an at least somewhat organized manner, while I'm stuck micromanaging the hell out of the less experienced SLs because CMD "volunteered just so we can use the abilities" sounds like a dream come true. I wish more people were willing to be 2nd or 3rd in command in a squad, because I find it very hard to manage both the strategic(hab and fob placement, logistics, coordination with armor and other infantry squads) and the tactical(directing my troops in a firefight) aspects of battle at the same time. In theory this is what FTLs are for, but in practice it just gets passed around for marking stuff, and everyone just thinks they avoided all the responsibility for the round when they joined a squad of a competent SL.
I have no problem leading an infantry squad. I love sitting back with no responsibilities sometimes But when theres no squads available and 30 people waiting to join, Making an infantry squad and watching it fill instantly is great. I'm still learning so we typically back cap and go on the assault when the 4th point is located. People are usually pretty easy to deal with if you tell them whats going on. "We're going to back cap the first 2 then get in the fight" "we need to regroup and move onto the objective" "lets set up a defense and hold down this point" People respond well when you give them clear commands that have a purpose. Especially if you set them up in a way that will get them into the fight, and if you can get them in winning positions.
@@A_Honcho My squad leading this weekend has consisted of collecting the hoard of stray blueberrys walking aimlessly between objectives in my truck and delivering them useful places
I hate squad leading because 90% of the time my squad hears, "spawn D8 and defend" and interprets that to mean "spawn L19 and attack a random house you saw last match" I don't generally like telling people what to do but god damn it when I finally do it fucking listen.
@@A_Honcho Alternatively playing IMF in an area with a lot of trees since the amount of explosives that can be launched means anyone missing and hitting a tree kills 3 friendlies
And also the most valuable, because last round I was a marksman and my buddy was a machinegunner and we held a chokepoint by ourselves while our team roamed the objective, then we went completely out of ammo and none of the fucking riflemen running around came to replenish us. long story short: the moment we stopped shooting, our point got overran.
@@leoaraujo8590 I am going to be honest, unless the marksman is actually around my squad, I ignore them. A marksman player who is actually useful to the squad is incredibly rare.
@@JP-th8sq indeed, but your first mistake is forcing the marksman to be around you. A good marksman has FTL so he can stay 400m ahead or behind his squad, observing an angle that is blind to you guys. Whenever I'm SL, I always create a recon squad to harass enemy supply lines and whenever I'm the sniper, I always stay outside the objective spotting enemies on the map and I only kill specific targets, such as other snipers, SLs and MGs. It's YOUR job as a SL to tell your marksman what to do though, because most of them will not have the experience, and if you stumble upon a lonewolf that doesn't want to listen to you, then you simply kick him out of the squad. You're in charge my guy, snipers are only useless when you allow them to.
Even if you have 1000s of hours, sometimes your squaddies will have good ideas that you didn't think of. A lot of times I'll roll with something that they suggested and it works out
@@EnterTheMatr1x1337 I learned! Honestly being SL is so fun now, idk why but I get so much joy by just including everyone in the squad, like setting up an mg nest, people just enjoy and so do I
@@EnterTheMatr1x1337 A hab directly on the flag is fine, just don't put the fob radio directly on the flag. Nothing worse than needing to assault your own defense point because the nearest hab is 200 - 300m away. Place the radio a bit outside the obj, preferably on the side enemies are least likely to attack from, then put the hab at the edge of the build radius.
I got put into a SL role for the first time at about 20 hours playtime after the previous SL disconnected. I had no idea what I was doing but at least the commander did, I didn't do well as a player that game but I did manage to get my squad to follow me around and work as a team. Easily one of my biggest highlights in the game so far, I will be trying the role again.
I have lost hope of having a good squad leader. So i chose to become the one i need. Mic only people. I no longer feel bad for kicking people (i dont mind new players who ask ANYTHING i want them to do) But the one who is playing call of duty not listening. Remove them. I enjoy being an anti tank. But i had to become one of the SLs i rarely find. Setting up a plan at staging. Telling exactly what everyone will be doing. And it fulfills you when it goes according to plan and u destroy everything in your way
so many people dont appreciate us squad leaders trying everything to have a enjoyable experience or atleast trying to give a game plan we all enjoy and still playing obj even if it means to defend 10 minuts and seeing no one. we still get hated and flamed and all of that unfairness
If my squad is stuck on defense and nobody is attacking us, I am 100% going to default to supply bitch and give my SL all the supplies/ammo he needs to build a superfob - regardless of whether or not he wants to build a superfob.
I started being an SL most every game because i was tired of getting dominoed during invasion Defense because nobody built fallback FOB's. And i work construction and like building or minecrafting as i call it in game😂
I think SL is a way to experience the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows this game has to experience. If something happens when your squads involved it’s completely on your shoulders
I have 4k hours in squad and the most important role for me is recovering random abandoned logis and doing logi runs so every can have supply to keep fighting
I've found that leading 9 random players is the most easiest thing to do, the hardest part of squad leading is coordinating with other 12 squad leaders, esp the armored squad that are usually tracked in the middle of nowhere while the other inf squads are getting decimated by one rogue BTR or LAV or command arguing over why MBT and T90 is a different claim or why the Commander wants the whole team to rush the point but one squad is setting up a motar fob and the other solo rws is not on the point
I enjoy playing armor a lot, love running infantry support with it. Transporting, fire support, etc. But somedays the team needs another squad leader, someone to put up those habs, to lead people to the objectives, or a commander role. Those days are the hardest, but when you get those people, especially new players, that hard fought victory, there is nothing more rewarding than the cheers of victory. Even if you aren't acknowledged, you know you helped that.
Never understood how to play this game. It's a walking simulator I keep walking and walking and walking and not a single soul in sight. Also how the hell can you tell where the bullets are coming from when they shoot at you?
i would love so much to be able to play squad again its truely a game i love but my computer cant run it anymore, maybe ill get a better computer some day :D great video!
Honestly the cat-herding of your own squadmates is fine. And those moments where the enemy craps all over your plans are a-okay, even if my smooth little brain struggles to throw new plans of action together from the burning tank-shelled remains of my logi and entire squad. It's when none of the other SLs communicate and do a bunch of things to actively trip you up that I want to rage quit.
The biggest problems that prevent players from squadleading and the cause of SL backseaters and the heckleing of others squad is the missunderstanding of logistical and strategical understanding as a team and not as a individual where players to change their perspective of what is happening in the game in realtime from a third person veiw - if the team have lack of accuracy, iniative of commonly sharing the duty of building HABs and defending them along with respective capture point then you can't expect to solely evaluate your Squadleading skills by Victory Conditions.
Everytime I get on Squad and think I I might play something different no one creates a Squad so I end up doing it everytime 😂 FFS 550hours in this game and 549 have been Squad leader.
Mister A-Honcho I would like to humbly object your statement of squad leader having a "unfun" kit. In a world of many many specialized kits with rad guns and explosive firepower the humble rifle will stand out amongst them all for its reliability at almost all engagement ranges. The combination of binocs and weapon with scope and sometimes even a VERTI GRIP (You must be a chad to wield 2 at a time) make the SL kit very prone to this condition called "fragging out". When the rest of your squad tries to find that perfect opportunity to use their kit blinding themselves for other opportunities a man with a gun (Rifleman/SL) will just say and I quote "we ball" and manage to overcome every single situation with a standard issue most vanilla gun in the game.
"Why would we send 2 guys with a logi to the next cap and build a fallback fob? We're only barely losing ground at this superfob the enemy is about to call a creeping barrage on!"
My favorite is, back seating, constant complaining about medics when everyone refuses to swap off marksman/LAT/HAT. Anything but fixing the problem, or "Squad lead I'm bleeding" like bro you should be able to fix that yourself. I'm busy listening to command chat, the full squad who decides that saying hes bearing 215 when everyone is in a different position from him or OVER THERE!!. Obviously I take breaks so I'm not ranting all the time but jesus guys put some effort into being a little disciplined so we can all shoot each other.
@ Haha thanks for reading my rant! It was a few people but ya know everyone starts somewhere. Honestly those aren't really an issue but squad boredom. You can really lose a game due to action happening somewhere else and start to lose cohesion. Really have to reel them in and keep them occupied otherwise they'll run away!
If you can change your attitude into something positive, then you will never truly feel like you lost a squad game. As opposed to tearing down your team in the post game review, try being constructive its a 50v50 no need to make in 1v99 for yourself In Squad, morale is a real factor, and it makes or breaks many matches for people. As squad lead, we set the atmosphere, to make it a positive one is optional, to make it a negative one is easy. Honestly, I still remember my first squad matches got the sl kit passed to me in my first game just kinda stood the in the middle of the map trying to figure out how to "drop a rally" back when rallies had limited respawns, only 9 per rally 😂 SL Rollin-zx over and out
The quality that concentrates the difference between a good and a bad set of squadmembers is derived solely on obedience' - the necessity to know "why" is a waste of explenatory when the games whole purpose to victory is Direct Action. You can't how-ever as a complete novis of warfare engulf yourself into a survival wargame where you must rely on trusting others to survive have the curiousity to ask for explanation of "why" action of different tasks are administred. This part of Obidence' and "why" causes most squadleaders to become disgruntled from continue squadleading where their journey or story is cut short by heckleing, bullying and unsettled arguements.
It would be so nice of roles would be locked and needed to went through trainings to get it.. Its so frustrating to get tked at least 4x a match as stupid grenadiers or other special needs with special roles are mostly so stupid.. imagine getting tked by sniper while Im shooting other direction, not facing him, hiding from incoming fire and he wasted 3 mags before killin me.. and it was about 200m max.. like.. HOW BAD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO WASTE 3 MAGS ON DUDE NOT SHOOTIN YOU and with no cover between us.. Im out of words how bad most special roles are, just insta locking it from players being actually usefull with it..
I wouldnt say no to being SL if i recieved ‘’training’’ (tips, guides, etc) I do prefer being a machine gunner/automatic rifleman tho… Or medic… But i see (atleast from last time i played that wasn’t the tutotial or training grounds) that there arent a lot of players willing to be SL leading to 1-2 inf groups that are filled and potentially more thats solo SL’s (These are on ‘’New Player Friendly’’ servers as i have only played for like… 50 hours or something)
Never understood how to play this game. It's a walking simulator I keep walking and walking and walking and not a single soul in sight. Also how the hell can you tell where the bullets are coming from when they shoot at you?
For the first part: try getting your squad leader to secure your squad a vehicle whenever possible and play the active objectives. For the second part: When you hear bullets snapping around you, listen for where the sound of gunfire is. Usually you're being shot from wherever the gunfire is loudest, but also if you keep your map open (press M, not caps lock or enter) then you can zoom in on your position as close as you might need, and then keep a general idea of where friendlies are. If you see you have friendlies North, South, and West of you - but you hear shots to the East - then you know you have enemies to the East.
i have one round we was loosing ,no HAB´s no tanks ore comander. I taken comander start screaming on squad leader take raily and run with 2 bluebarry and put it on spot. so after 15 min we are win this bad game and only one say thx to me and others only cry why are you scream -.-
Sls are important and all but personal skill is more important. Even on some servers with milsimmers one can be a reasonable one man army at times in terms of impact, let alone on newbie friendly servers. Peeps just don't get it these days since the initiative of a player is usually supressed, and that all in a videogame where the main goal is to win, what a joke...
If you play modded. You get only more serious players for the game usually and less of the assholes. The modded servers are pretty ban and kick happy for rule breaking
Squad leading is a close to herding cats as you can get. But once you get a good group that listens and stay together, it's so oddly fulfilling.
I'm addicted to the chaos!
As a sqaud leader for 80-90% of my games i tottaly agree with this comment.
@@S0ZAFsometimes if you want something done right you have to do it yourself lol
Hahaha - been naming my squad "Herding Cats" since 2015
It's about 1 in 6 games you get a decent squad and team
As an SL, 90% of your game is recovering abandoned logis and explaining your reasoning to the back seat SL’s
Go play Squad44
Standard issue
To be fair, SQ44 suffers the same fate
The back seat SL’s are always wrong too it’s crazy

Anything but fixing the problem, or "Squad lead I'm bleeding" like bro you should be able to fix that yourself. I'm busy listening to command chat, the full squad who decides that saying hes bearing 215 when everyone is in a different position from him or OVER THERE!!. Obviously I take breaks so I'm not ranting all the time but jesus guys put some effort into being a little disciplined so we can all shoot each other.
Alot of people expect to be completely hand held yet if they had done the tutorial so much effort would be saved as they know the basics!
@ Haha thanks for reading my rant! It was a few people but ya know everyone starts somewhere. Honestly those aren't really an issue but squad boredom. You can really lose a game due to action happening somewhere else and start to lose cohesion. Really have to reel them in and keep them occupied otherwise they'll run away!
I get tired when I Squad Lead, I'll do it when I have to but I do get tired.
2:53 you forgot the 4 infantry squads locked at 5 members
I don't mind the small infantry squads, being SL can be very overwhelming so keeping a squad small I can understand
If you can change your attitude into something positive, then you will never truly feel like you lost a squad game.
As opposed to tearing down your team in the post game review, try being constructive its a 50v50 no need to make in 1v99 for yourself
In Squad, morale is a real factor, and it makes or breaks many matches for people.
As squad lead, we set the atmosphere, to make it a positive one is optional, to make it a negative one is easy.
Honestly, I still remember my first squad matches got the sl kit passed to me in my first game just kinda stood the in the middle of the map trying to figure out how to "drop a rally" back when rallies had limited respawns, only 9 per rally 😂
SL Rollin-zx over and out
what servers do you enjoy playing on
Dead on Dismount
I have never voluntarily played as SL, only 1 time and i hated every second of it. Been forced to several times, always try to give it to someone.
What kind of animal puts his compass up top?
I used to play alot of Rust back in the day - so its a habit from that
Me. He is talking about me.
90% of the time as a squad leader, I have to deal with dumb ass players
Same, but I'm also the dumbass Squad lead 🤣
The quality that concentrates the difference between a good and a bad set of squadmembers is derived solely on obedience' - the necessity to know "why" is a waste of explenatory when the games whole purpose to victory is Direct Action. You can't how-ever as a complete novis of warfare engulf yourself into a survival wargame where you must rely on trusting others to survive have the curiousity to ask for explanation of "why" action of different tasks are administred.
This part of Obidence' and "why" causes most squadleaders to become disgruntled from continue squadleading where their journey or story is cut short by heckleing, bullying and unsettled arguements.
It would be so nice of roles would be locked and needed to went through trainings to get it.. Its so frustrating to get tked at least 4x a match as stupid grenadiers or other special needs with special roles are mostly so stupid.. imagine getting tked by sniper while Im shooting other direction, not facing him, hiding from incoming fire and he wasted 3 mags before killin me.. and it was about 200m max.. like.. HOW BAD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO WASTE 3 MAGS ON DUDE NOT SHOOTIN YOU and with no cover between us.. Im out of words how bad most special roles are, just insta locking it from players being actually usefull with it..
This guy is playing with moidawg
I wouldnt say no to being SL if i recieved ‘’training’’ (tips, guides, etc)
I do prefer being a machine gunner/automatic rifleman tho…
Or medic…
But i see (atleast from last time i played that wasn’t the tutotial or training grounds) that there arent a lot of players willing to be SL leading to 1-2 inf groups that are filled and potentially more thats solo SL’s
(These are on ‘’New Player Friendly’’ servers as i have only played for like… 50 hours or something)
"the 249Bravo" :(
You need to be able to learn when to let go and go with the flow; and badger people/be assertive.
Based
Never understood how to play this game. It's a walking simulator I keep walking and walking and walking and not a single soul in sight. Also how the hell can you tell where the bullets are coming from when they shoot at you?
For the first part: try getting your squad leader to secure your squad a vehicle whenever possible and play the active objectives. For the second part: When you hear bullets snapping around you, listen for where the sound of gunfire is. Usually you're being shot from wherever the gunfire is loudest, but also if you keep your map open (press M, not caps lock or enter) then you can zoom in on your position as close as you might need, and then keep a general idea of where friendlies are. If you see you have friendlies North, South, and West of you - but you hear shots to the East - then you know you have enemies to the East.
i have one round we was loosing ,no HAB´s no tanks ore comander. I taken comander start screaming on squad leader take raily and run with 2 bluebarry and put it on spot. so after 15 min we are win this bad game and only one say thx to me and others only cry why are you scream -.-
OMG you know Slay3k?
Known him for a while now.
Helped him get into the Squad Partner program and helped with UA-cam etc etc
He's a good egg
Most of time when I play the squad leaders are so dam toxic. And it’s on new player servers.
Yea, some people can be knob heads
Sls are important and all but personal skill is more important. Even on some servers with milsimmers one can be a reasonable one man army at times in terms of impact, let alone on newbie friendly servers. Peeps just don't get it these days since the initiative of a player is usually supressed, and that all in a videogame where the main goal is to win, what a joke...
If you play modded. You get only more serious players for the game usually and less of the assholes. The modded servers are pretty ban and kick happy for rule breaking
