attention BFBC2 players

USE SQUADS!!! Seriously it seems like ppl just dnt understand the importance of squad spawning especially in game modes like rush. idk if its just my luck or whatever but i seem to get on teams where no one has a squad.

anyone else having this problem?

people are idiots, they are so used to everything being close combat like in mw2 that they dont realize teamwork is needed in bfbc2

yeah, this pretty much sums it up, people get bc2 and expect gameplay like mw2 where you could just rush into the enemy with a shotgun and win, but no, this is bc2, either teamwork or crash and burn

Im not sure if you guys have experienced this but a lot of the time when I jump into a game and try to join a squad im unable to. The menu just says "trying to find squad" and it takes a good while for more people to join to actually get me into a squad. Kinda frustrating.

Whats almost as frustrating is joining a squad and then figuring out that the other guys in it are all playing recon and hiding about 100 miles from M-comm stations leaving me with a massive trek everytime I respawn :(

I use the squads. Main reason it is more to my advantage as I get more points

What is this "Squads" you speak of? Exotic black voo doo magic?

My biggest gripe is that no one uses mics. It's impossible to coordinate anything and as a result people just run around like cowboys and the whole team suffers. spazzx625

I do use squads; however, I've noticed the game doesn't place you in a new squad if your squad members leave between matches. Which kind of sucks if you don't notice it right away :roll:

anyone feel free to add me if ya wanna squad it up in rush or conquest. sometimes i have amazing games other times not so amazing ones and i do use a mic

i am usually on between 5pm - 10pm central time

try playing on PS3, majority don't squad and minimal headsets. I end up screaming at them and my friends just laugh.

This is true, people need to get in the squad mentality. When you have one of each class type in your squad and your working together, its a beautiful thing, and so much fun. Another thing people need to use more often is the target marker (back button). You should always mark non-immediate threats so that everyone on your team can see the enemy and get an idea of where they are and how they are moving. You still get +20 just for marking a target that someone else kills. The game rewards you well for playing "correctly."

My only complaint is when you are put into a squad that is ALL recon. I hate these squads......We know you think you are cool if you snipe, but in reality you probably suck.

Luckily Im awesome at this game so I do well regardless, just not as well if I had a cooperative squad.

not sure about BC2, but with BC1 i played majority of the time without a mic and communication...and my team worked together FINE. I won many more matches than I lost.

Communication is definitely an advantage...but i dont want to listen to peoples annoying voices, just cant stand it.

These aren't just MW2 players, it's console players in general. I love my 360 but its never the place for tactical strategy. Be prepared to only have tactical matches if you're whole team are tactical players you invited.

I noticed this, too. It doesn't take long for me to notice, though, since I'm always trying to spawn off someone.

I've got a group of friends that plays this, so I seldom ever play by myself. It's amazing how lopsided the scoreboards end up because usually we're the only real squad of players in a game and we end up wrecking shop each time. It makes a huge difference.

Operating in a squad really is the way to go, I know this and I dont even have the game!

Haha, you should give it a try. Im not the biggest fan of shooters but I havent been able to put this down.

Squad play is the way to go except when everyone is playing as a recon.
