Tips

- Best class to play:. It's a great hang-back class that allows you to jump in and support your squad during the more dire situations without having to commit to the moment-by-moment action. There's nothing more satisfying than having a medic pull you out of a staring contest with your deployment screen. Your squadmates will be grateful you're around.get tunnel vision, and what I mean by this is that you don't want to get hung up on the micro details of Planetside 2, like the shooting and piloting; the fun stuff. As a squad leader, you're in charge of the macro details. Reading the map, calculating enemy movement, and establishing spawn points; the boring stuff. Keep your responsibilities in perspective or you’ll just be another squaddie.- Squad bloodlust is something you have to worry about, because once you find a territory ripe with action and you send your squad in there, those guys. Every surrounding territory can be lost and the enemy can grossly outnumber and outgun them, and it won't matter. Retreat is not an option for a pub squad. They're going to ignore the waypoint marker, ignore your texts, and ignore your mic, because they found what they're looking for: faces to shoot, and that's where they'll want to stay.- The most demoralizing form of assault comes from the air. When a single ESF is having a field day rocketing your squad to oblivion with almost zero reprisal, your soldiers are going to get frustrated really fast. Just one form of anti-air, even if it's just a max with a single AA gun, can be all you need to scare off an air attack. That, and make sure your squaddies know that their small-arms weapons will damage(but most likely piss off) ESFs.- DUPLICATE COMMANDS - repeat commands in squad voice AND squad text chat - lots of people keep in-game voice muted.- Duplicate Text - Hit enter then press up to cycle through any text you've already sent (and send it again).- Make sure your squad knows they can hit Q to spot a target. That way, everyone on your squad knows where to shoot.
