Squad Leader Success Points...

[Lotek19]

I ain't complaining about getting them but when i do get them they seem really random....it was a 200 ticket on conquest at tunis harbor, and then at 145 i start getting them for no reason that i know of, i finished getting about 20 of them at the end of the round...but i don't know why =p i like them tho :)

So does anyone know how to get them? what you have to achieve? cuz im just wondering?

[Bladeeagle]

When you set an order like attack and defend and squadmates either heal, resupply, revive, or kill, you get a point because they listened to you.

[Lotek19]

Huh, so maybe if i give alot more orders then they do their job then i can get that squad leader award in no time..............Thanks Bladeeagle

Are you talking about the squad leader badge?

[Lotek19]

Are you talking about the squad leader badge?

Yea, and i'm getting closer and now even more closer now knowing how the success points work

[kr1kit]

ya but the problem is alot of the time you can get ******* squad members who don't follow orders, that just ruins the fun :(

IM pretty sure you get points for ammo, revive and heal anywhere on the map. But you only get the points for your squad attacking and defendingwhen they are pretty near the flag.

[PeteDude]

Play on titan servers. I got some points I had two buddies in my squad and place a defend or attack order on the titan depending if you are attacking or defending the titan. Every time they kill someone you get a point.

[jojobiz]

the titan defend/attack bonus squad leader bonus never really worked for me for some reason. i usually get the bonus from ground silos more.

[ThQp]

The squad leader bonus was always great for points. Just send a squad order to any area where there are people fighting and you'll be sure to get some points

[NoseKi||s]

Threads like this almost a year after the game has been released... :P

No wonder it's so hard to get your average squad leader to give orders.

You need to look directly at the Titan icon on the 3D map and hold down T, then just choose 'issue order'. If you right click on the Titan on the main map and choose attack/defend it's quite intermittent that you get points.

[Diamond621]

If you right click on the Titan on the main map and choose attack/defend it's quite intermittent that you get points.

If you issue the order from the tactical map, the order marker actually goes to the ground underneath the Titan. You'll get zero points from this.

It's a very common mistake among SLs that actually issue orders.

Yes, I've found on some maps that you will get some SL points initially (possibly depends on altitude of Titan?) but it dries up.

When I lead a squad full of my clan mates and issue the attack/defend 'properly' some maps I've rolled in over 100 points through success points. I don't understand why some SLs just don't know this it can be lucrative :yay:

[haslo]

I love it when I'm in a squad where the leader gives jack all orders. No extra points for us, no extra points for him, no organizational benefits whatsoever, just a bunch of lone wolves with a tag - what for did he make a squad in the first place?

[Tetris L]

what for did he make a squad in the first place?
Squad leader TIME for the related ribbons and medals. I wish that Dice had at least designed the game such that squad leaders can only collect time for awards if they have at least 1 squad member, and issue an order. If you don't have any squad members and/or don't issue orders you should lose squad leader status. :evil:

I've noticed that to set the attack or defend order on a titan I need to right click the rear deck of the titan to get the attack/defend option. If I click anywhere else on the titan I give a "Relocate to this position" order.

Even that is flawed mate, I'd just use the 3D map icon you will notice considerably more success points (if your squad actually follow orders :p)

I love SL points lol, they are free points.

I have had well over a 100 SL points on tons of occasions. Go a SL with a good squad (eg: INF-UK) which means loads of kills/rez/etc which means lots of goodies lol

When I ignore the "lol"s everywhere, I do agree with you :)

I also notice that accompanying your orders with some explanation (like, "I put a defend order here, but keep pushing towards over there, I'll change the order as soon as the enemies are out of the way - we get more points like that") people are much more likely to listen, and to give themselves and you (their squad leader) points. Microphones are a great invention :)

This is not quite correct. As a SL you get points when your squaddies perform any of those actions within the order radius ONLY.

If you issue a "move to this position" command, you will get points for any action they do in the immediate vicinity. If you issue a "defend/attack this position" you will get points for defending/attacking and also any of the other actions like: repairing, healing, damage assisting, supplying, etc.

These commands can also come from the Commander. If he gives a command to defend/attack where your squad must travel to reach that area, be prepared to give orders along the way to generate points.

For example, if you are starting at your uncap and the commander issues an order 2 flags away, accept that order. It will then be reissued to your squad.

Then while traveling to your objective--if you encounter any opposition--give a new order to "move to this position" or if there is a nearby flag/silo, give an order to "defend/attack this position". Communicate with your squad not to move to that new location, just deal with the opposition. Once they are eliminated and everyone is healed and resupplied, re-issue the original order from the commander.

This way, you'll accumulate SL points along the way, while still moving towards the main objective. You can double your points by letting your squaddies do the brute force work while you manage and control the squad actions.

The SL is most effective leading from the middle of the squad. Don't be the first one in or the last one out.

"Frag out!"

The best advice here about this game in general. Never be the first, and never be the last. :)

Move orders give points?

If and only if your squaddies kill, resupply, heal, and/or repair within that radius.

Someone check me if I'm wrong... it's happened before. :rolleyes:

QFT. I absolutely hate microfags.

[haslo]

I like this definition of the non-micro version of microfag in the urban dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=***&r=f):

A word used by ignorant homophobic teenage males to describe anybody/thing but themselves. This is almost always in a subconscious attempt to prove that they are not gay; everybody around them is. See also ****** (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=******) and homo (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=homo).

In other news, it might be that I'm a bit too old for this forum here :shakehead: - just know that this won't stop me from posting. If you think you have to spam and flame every time I post, feel free. I won't give admins reason to ban me, unless they're not more reasonable than you (two flamers) are.

Maybe I should've started my postings nicer and slower, we all know how unwelcoming forums are to outsiders, particularly when they start off by microflaming others. Well, I'm here to stay, deal with it. This will be my last post on this subject.

I think you miss the point, I think he was, ah, kidding around. Trust me, when image macros are posted, it's usually a joke.

In fact, I think I've seen balla posting it in other thread, it's just his new spam weapon. :p

Though I don't know why you wouldn't like microphone users (unless they whine/are over-serious). I find when people in my squad are talking, I end up with a win and a big score.

I didn't mean to say that, I love micro users :) - I'm often the only one in my squad who does use it, that's the main thing that bothers me about microphones. "There's a sniper on the roof of that bunker" is an information that's hard to communicate without a microphone, particularly when you just died from said sniper.

Thanks for the explanations though, guess it'll take me some time to get used to the tone of this forum :nod: - shouldn't have jumped to conclusions that early I guess, I was rather set back when I was greeted with a downwards pointing thumb at first :)

I meant to direct the microphone comments to crabhart, but yoou are right about communicating certain things, like "behind you", or "I'll leave the order here until we're more then halfway to next flag".

And yes, there is much joking around in this forum, just check this (http://bf2142.totalgamingnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27375) thread out. Or this (http://bf2142.totalgamingnetwork.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15648).
