Problem when joining a game half way through

Post by Beflar »

Weird thing happened to me. Joined a game and every squad was 2 km away. So I join a squad I fight through the city. Buy the time I get there they die... I get booted from the squad because they think I'm loan wolfing it... It was weird because all squads were full or far far away. It ended up being a lonely game.

Do you have a mic and asked them what to do, or did you say what you were doing? Did you take a requestable kit when you went out.
You could have asked to set a rally, or inform if there was a fob being build etc.
If you can read this the ***** fell off.

Not your fault, probably. Perhaps you should've asked for a Rally, but the team didn't have any FOBs nearby? Fail I suppose.

EDIT: ninja'd for my first time.
Guys, when a new player comes, just answer his question and go on your merry way, instead of going berserk! It's THAT simple! :D

Communicating to your SL would probably help.

Some SL's just make assumptions if you're not communicating well.

Once I was split up from my squad on Fallujah and I told my SL I was making my way back to him, then I got ambushed and my SL asked what I was doing and I told him hastily that I was busy fighting multiple people on my own. He misunderstood me and assumed I was ignoring his request to regroup or going rambo so he told me to make my own squad then and kicked me.

Another occasion I was the gunner on one of the Chinese exposed mg APCs, we got attacked by a Stryker and I got killed without the rest of our squad even noticing. As I was waiting to respawn he then kicked me for supposedly abandoning my position and the rest of the squad.

When joining a game half way through I have the following problem, there is no squads which is not locked, full or sucky "I wan't my kit squads". As I don't want to lead squads (I'm not skilled enough) I'm kinda stucked with changing team and if the status is the same there, change server :/.

It's a fairly common problem indeed. Join a round and see that all squads are either full or fubar and disorganized. It's a good idea in my experience to join whatever squad available then, to note what squads look good and check the squad screen often to join one of those as soon as a spot becomes available, it often happens soon enough.

I understand. That happens to me all the time. Best way to have your squad near is to communicate. Mic and Mumble is the key. Remember next ones:

- When joining a squad, look for it's members on the CAPS LOCK map.
- Ask the SL for rally point before spawning.
- When you reach your squad, stay with unless you are told to do something else.
