I know many of you are dropping the noob bomb (calling all of them noobs) on snipers and medics for freelancing. I personally am a sniper and think that being in a squad isnt the best in the world, because i usually get stuck with squads that arent stealthy (i player BF2 special forces most of the time) and just run around killing everything. And being a medic requies somesort of teamwork but when i play strike at Karkaland(forgot name sry) i am usually just running around reviving people like some crazy person. I agree that having a squad that works together would be a force to reckon with but seriously, snipers just sit on rooftops/ in building while support and assualt run around blazing and engineers go crazy with their boomsticks.

I would like to hear others thoughts on this, and try not to get some player hatings.

Well, a good working squad (or a few for that matter) is thé way to win the game. Medics are required so that a dead squad member doesn't have to wait 15 seconds before respawn AND because it will save you one ticket for not dying.
A sniper can be very very very usefull is certain maps. The problem with snipers, is that in some maps like karkand or sharqi, everybody wants to be a sniper... in a 32 player team, you will lose with 20 snipers and 12 medics....
concerning the squad, you can be in a squad as a sniper so that you can spawn in usefull places on the map without having to walk around for 5 minutes. respawn and walk away from your squad... JUST DON'T BE THE BLOOMIN' SQUADLEADER ON A FREAKING ROOFTOP 10 MILES FROM THE BATTLE!!!!

just my 2 cents

Yeah i was playing Warlord yesterday and everybody who woesnt on the british side was a sniper and you couldnt spawn or do anything on the british team because you would get sniped, and if you managed to take out somebody or right before you pulled the trigger somebody else would shoot you. But anywar they still won

So you lost against a team of snipers?! hahahaha, your team must have sucked!

Just make a squad called "TEAMWORK" and kick-ass people who actually follow orders will join. It works well.

Last friday while playing I joined a squad who fought together VERY well...i was a medic with an unlockable gun and we were kicking some serious @$$! I think that medic, with that unlockable gun is that best.
