10/10. Best PTSD i've had in years.

On a more serious note, these kinds of experiences are numerous, on both ends. You will get some awesome experiences, but also really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ones.
Here the last few weeks, squad for me has been a wild rollercoaster, because i usually play the SL (Squad Leader) role.
The problem stems from other squad leaders not cooperating with eachother, or plain out refusing to communicate with the rest of the team. But when you do find a good team that loves to communicate, it's the most hectic game i've ever tried. Directing your eight guys, telling them what to hit and what i hear on the radio, telling the other SL's what my guys see, while beeing shot at mind you, is great fun. I highly recommend this game if you're willing to do what the SL tells you to do, even if it's a stupid idea. The only way to get good SL's is go with their ideas, they will know in good time if it's a good or a bad idea, what to do and what not to do. Stick together as a whole squad, and this is the kind of stuff you will experience. I have made some good friends on this game, just from beeing talkative and a good teamplayer in this game.
I hope to whomever is reading this, i will see you playing this game as well, in the near future, please be good at communicating, because this is where the fun is at.
No matter if you get absolutely massacred in a round or two, remember, if everyone does what they're told, and the SL got a good idea on what's going on, he can help you give an experience like mine, and have great fun doing it.
