Default A couple of friendly pointers

Just a reminder to newer players, be sure to have your map fixed in your options. As we continue to learn the maps it's imperative that you have your mapped fixed. The default is set on rotation. FFOW's squad marker/attack orders or waypoint is horrible until they get it fixed so you have to rely on your squad leader's orders over teamspeak. When I squadlead, I call my flags based on the front line. It's easy after awile, since there's only 2-3 points on the frontline: West, center, east. Try to practice on being aware of where you are on the map. I may mix it up by indicating where we are attacking from (e.g. "take the west flag from the north or from the south") but otherwise I try to keep it simple. I found this the most helpful since its fairly easy even when you're in the thick of it.

On the subject of Teamspeak- since there's no in-game voip, we're relying on TS to give order and communicate with each other to stay alive. Try to keep chatter to a minimum, especially if you're on the main game channel with a lot of other players.
