Excellent community

I'm a new player to this mod but already I'm loving this game. The purpose of my thread is not to praise this incredible game though. I'm writing this to acknowledge the community. I've been playing this game for a week now and NOT ONCE was I given a hard time for being a newb.
I explained to players that I was new, I asked simple questions and I got answers and was never given any grief. I'm no stranger to games and some communities can be ruthless to new players, but that isn't an issue here. From the time I've spent playing this game, I've noticed dedication to playing the game it was meant to be played and respect for the player.
Today I had my first experience as Squad Leader (not by choice either, lol) and I explained to my squad mates that I was new and I didn't want the responsibility in fear of ruining the squad's great efforts they were making to clearing out all the weapon caches on an insurgency map. I can't remember his name off the top of my head but he says to me, "thats no problem, we will walk you through it."
And he did just that and no one else in the squad had a problem with it either, he taught me a little about a squad leader (enough so the squad could finish getting the last 2 caches and winning the match) and took the stress off me for the most part about leading a squad for the first time.
I just want to say thank you to community for being supportive and understanding to new players. I and I'm sure other new players appreciate your patience and I'm excited that I finally found a fps mod that fits all my needs.
