Be me.
Create a new squad and be SL for the first time.
Instantly a bunch of randoms join.
Game starts and other SLs don't have a plan.
No idea what I'm doing either.
Somehow my guys follow my orders. No questions asked.
Worried we are all just a bunch of casuals that are going to get wiped out as soon as we get into contact.
Hike across map for 20 mins stressing out about it.
Enemies spotted!
All hell breaks loose.
Everyone starts shooting.
Everyone starts screaming.
Gunfire and explosions so loud and close I s**t my pants.
In the mayhem I can hear my squad call out targets and take hostiles down like stone cold killers.
We push forward and wipe out three enemy squads, a BTR, a logi truck and an enemy fob.
Our squad is so good, others start thanking us wherever we go.
Other squad leaders start arguing with each other over who needed our help first.
We become the stuff of legends and take out yet another squad, another BTR and another enemy fob.
Game abruptly ends.
10 seconds of silence staring at score screen.
Our squad is best in every category.
Squad mates say I was the best SL they ever played with.
Get 5 new steam friend invites.
Made more friends in Squad in one game than anywhere else IRL :')


11/10 – will s**t my pants and squad lead again
