Yup a rant, really gets at me tbh. Why is it when your on a team 99% of the time you get a tard commander who doesn't know what hes doing and only gets commander because he has a higher rank and can't be voted off because hardly any servers have a kick vote or mutiny, absolute joke.

Playing BF2, We capped the Mosque at the top of Jalalabad and the commander doesn't spot or anything. Now obviously the MEC team will spawn and try capp it back and they did, the commander UAV'ing a point thats absolutely useless to our team, all thats at that point is MEC troops nothing else, then hes artillerying the same place. Least he could have done was scan and spot, useless tbh. Whats even worse is usually I have to tell the commander what to do and constantly ask for things that he should know to do anyway, couldn't really do that on a server with 62 players.

I couldn't get commander because im on an account with a lower rank (Corporal). but anytime I have went commander I usually always get complemented. I know I can't do nothing about this but damn I thought it would have changed after 6-8 months, commanders have got worse.

No, out of everything else the good players seem to be good at playing the game generally, like weapons, vehicles and team play. But when it comes to commanders its as if 99% are kack.
 
Yeah, they should really be trying to benefit the team rather than just trying to rack up artillery kills. Annoyed me lots when I played it.

See thats where their idiocy comes in. If they don't win they don't get double points, if they don't help their team, everytime the team kill someone and cap a flag etc the commander gets points. So really, idiocy.
 
There is a simple answer: Find a regular clan server populated with good players.

The clan I'm part of is always full and rarely has bad commanders. If we get a bad comm, we coordinate ourselves over VOIP instead (well we do that anyway). This is echoed across many clan servers.

Sticking to a select few servers populated by people you get to know really improves the games experience and really opens your eyes to how badly organised general public servers are.
 
It is, especially when they blame the team for not winning and letting him get double points >_<

Definitely not playing it again now :p
 
I play as commander a lot and try my best to UAV where possible to help the team, my biggest problem is the dumb ass squads who dont do what you ask them to, whats the point of being a squad leader and dont protect / attack / destroy what we ask, we say DEFEND for &^%$ing reason... its because we've seen something that you havent.... maybe the UAV wasnt over the mosque as other people requested it maybe over your base as that was being captured...

the other problem as loan wolves who bitch when either you dont win or artil them, join a squad then I can tell you when artil is coming, and stop bitching like a girl !!!

I usually only use 2 servers as they are good stable servers, allow voting and arent full of noobs

rant over...
 
Yes I get that problem as well ^.

I guide them well seriously. I spot so much. One time my I got teamkilled a few times because I was spotting any enemy who got passed that would be a threat to a control point. Constantly spot them until your squad/team actually kills them.
 
If you want to play on servers without these kind of people playing, then dont pick the big 64 man public servers, but look for clan servers that are likely to be administered better, and will listen to players requests/ complaints.

I rarely these days pick a random server from the server browser. Almost always i will play on a server i trust.
 
Great how all these so called BF2 fans take Every chance to slate anyone with a High rank a, i mean a guy with a high rank LOVES the game and has played it for hours to get his rank.
Also great how a new thread is started when there is a long running BF2 thread already.
It is also fantastic how those that moan always proclaim to be the best at whatever they moan about.

Well from My point of view i am Sick of Crap squads who run around stat whoring or go solo and Don't take orders.
I am sick of people slating other players whether it be Higher rank dudes or Noobs.
I am also Sick of giving advise to people who Blatantly ignore it.
I am also sick to my back teeth with people who reckon you get more skill on clan servers. This is the Biggest myth surrounding BF2.
On Clan servers all the clan go one side and admin take the armour and Jets and just go round owning an unorganised enemy. They also Kick any decent players on the enemy side.
Clan servers are full of gangs of kids on teamspeak with admin poewer making sure they get a one sided battle there way.
I have left more clan servers than public for the above reasons and usually if i don't leave i get kicked for killing an admin or taking a jet out. PATHETIC.


Now i'll climb off MY soapbox.
 
^No, Im not slating anyone, im slating the certain people who seem to be unable to do the commanders job unless you are one of them? :).

95% of the people I play with in BF2 are high rankers, most colonel and 2 or 3 star Generals. So hardly slating them.
 
I agree with everything said above.

But im a grumpy commander, if a squad is obviously trying to capture flags instead of just building up their kills, then they usually get the UAV's and resupplies. Everybody else can just **** off.

Im not gonna waste a UAV on say.... the hotel at Karkand, i'd rather cover the mountains on the left so the decent squads have a clear path, im not gonna help out a grenade-fest. But unfortunately 80% of the team seem to love trying to get the Hotel and in turn getting blown away, so it doesnt help the team score any. =/
