One thing really important to note before you hop on a "live server" is you best familiarise yourself with the server rules. Some servers follow a stricter policy than others and things that might be allowed on one server could very well be a kick-worthy offense on another one. I'll give you a short list of the most important ones:

1. No Racism, no flamebaiting, be polite.
2. Respect the asset rule(s). Anything that looks fancy with its big cannon/rocket or missile launcher on top is probably not for you to use or even drive(unless in the correct squad). All Trucks and Jeeps(BluFor), all unarmed and machine-gun armed technicals(Insurgents and militia) are ok however
3. Don't create your Squad too early, it might cause the game to bug. Most servers allow you to create a squad 1:30 minutes to 2 minutes before game start at the earliest.
4. Enemy Main bases, the personnel and assets within are a no-go to fire upon unless the map designates the flag as attackable at that point in time. When in doubt, don't engage. Especially when it comes to aircraft.
5. TKs on accident are fine if they aren't frequent, they happen to all of us. Griefing and intentionally sabotaging your team(eg. by mining your own base) is not.

You don't really need to talk that much. Just communicate the important information to your squadmates and you're good.

Keep in mind all YouTubers play to be interesting to watch. Sometimes in PR it's a good play to just lie in a ditch for 10 minutes and listen for footsteps.

If you have extra mouse buttons, bind your coms to those. That way you can talk without moving your hand across the board. I have 2 buttons on the side of my mouse. Forward one for local, closer, rear one for squad. I use Caps Lock for All Squads and Tab for Commander.

That's what I do, except I haven't gotten around to setting up All Squads and Commander key binds because I haven't played SL yet.

But yeah, the extra mouse buttons work very well.

After using various Mic binds I have decided "thumb to mouse" works best......altho in chaotic moments I probably snip short my callouts....... or die

30 matches in co-op before deployment? Man, you got scammed of your time.. It's closer to like 2 - 5 and if you don't get the basics by then, just increase by a few more rounds. But 30 is absolutely overkill, unnecessary waste of time. In fact when I first got PR I just read the manual and hopped directly into deployment. I didn't do anything wrong as I knew most controls from BF2.

Edit (after reading the entire thread): Your deducation to the game is appriciated, just to get my point across. I meant that 30 matches are a little too much. You didn't have to do that many, but a player that wants to go down the SL line I respect with all my heart. I can't handle it, I always get a squad of meme spouting teenagers who shoot at the first thing they see then blame me when the map ends and we lose. Good luck bro.

To clarify and as the wife always tells me, I am overly meticulous and detailed...[she used the word anal ] Drives her crazy. I just like to know and tinker with the details of how stuff works 1st. I once read an entire Microsoft Access manual just to write a simple program for my business. Oh well, I just do stuff for fun now but thanks for giving your perspective. Be sure to give a shout if we're on a map!

As long as you don't go and grab a vehicle right off the bat and just play Inf for a bit then you should be good

Some of you guys act like you're about to be shipped to Normandy or something lol.

Bruh you forgot the 5 percent pleasure and 15 percent pain

Good Evening,

Be adventurous, vote for maps that don't have scopes where you have to use your infantry skill a bit more. It seems nowadays all that everyone wants to play are 4km asset whore maps with sissy COD scopes.

With all seriousness, don't be afraid to try new things, squad up with SL's that think outside of the box sometimes, and enjoy the game.
