I get sick of players whining in this game:
1) about Commanders
2) about Squad leaders
Tonight, I played Commander on Sharqi Peninsula, so my team lets my whole equipment set get blown up within 1 minute and then gets on my case about not scanning. I was like, "I can't scan without radar." They did this to the next Commander too, and I told them to all shutup and help him. I was like, "he can't do anything without equipment." This one dude, must have been 8 or something says, "no he can do all sorts of Commander stuff." Those were almost his exact words, "Commander stuff."
I was like shutup already. So my kick azz squad takes charge for the next few games and then we win 3 in a row since our squad gets all the flags.
I only play Commander when I have to, when nobody else is doing it. So it's frustrating to take over and then people whine about it. But they want someone else to do their work. Equipment gets blown, then get your ass over there and help fix it.
Tonight my team got completely own3d by about 50 points. Funny though next game without me as Commander they got wiped off the map, the enemy took all of our spawn point within 10 minutes. Nobody could spawn at all, we lost.
Then tonight we also had this BIG DORK on our squad on the microphone. Our squad had a good leader, who was going around and getting all the flags. Our team is on the mic. This dork has the nerve to say tell the Squad Leader that he wants another squad member to form his own squad so he can spawn on him because he "has a higher survivability rate."
First of all, on that map, our Squad Leader was getting all the flags all by himself. None of the other squads were. Secondly, I think it's funny the dude asks someone else to form a squad so HE can spawn on him, like he is some special sheit. It's hilarious the people that act like they are know it alls on this game.
What a dork. I told the squad leader he was doing a good job, and I stayed with him for about 2 hours. We were owning Karkland, and it's hard for the Marines to own on that map. If you play the MEC on that map, all you have to do is plug the holes and keep the enemy out of the East, and that's pretty much it. You know, to keep them FROM BLOWING UP THE COMMANDER'S EQUIPMENT.
The best squads are the ones where there is alot of cooperation and people aren't demanding sheit of each other. Man, I've seen some really big dorks latley acting like they are top sh1t and just like to feel special because they want to boss everyone around.
But what is silly is when dudes kept parking the tanks and APCs right at the entrance to the city, but our squad pushed behind the lines and always got the rear spawn point. Every single time it was our squad. We were doing this repeatedly, and against alot of opposition too. It's not bragging to say that we won that game most of the time, meanwhile the other squads want to play Rambo at the front and grenade spam the opposition.
Like one guy is going to make a difference going up a fortified street covered by two APCs, a tank, a machine gun emplacement, multiple .50 cal jeeps, and about 25 infantry spawning behind protection.
good lawd!

This game sounds really good. However, I'm not very patient and I doubt I could deal with playing with pick up groups, especially given the problems you mention. What capacity is there for arranged matching?

I'm not familiar with the arranged matching but I'm sure that it exists in a very large presense. I've met alot of cool players online and when you like each others style, you can keep track of each other.
There is a program called X-Fire where you can make friends and you can see when they are online and which server they are on.
So there are alot of tools out there for keeping track of people that you're familiar with.
I'm sure arranged matching is a big thing, I just personally don't know about it, though, now that I've played the game for a couple of months, I'm starting to play with players I'm familiar with.
I also know a couple of "real life" friends that play, so I play with them sometimes. This is the #1 selling game in the US right now, so there is a big chance that someone you know might be playing.
Regarding the problems I mentioned, I don't think you will really notice those until you've played for a few weeks, and figure out the rhythm and flow of the game, so I wouldn't be worried about them too much at first.

But how does arranged matching work? If I understand it correctly there is 8v8, 16v16, and 32v32. Do you need a full 8/16/32 to have an arranged match?

sort of... the maps are different though. They are very specialized and designed with specific goals in mind. It's kind of hard to explain.
The weapons are different than those games. With the K98 rifle, for instance, one shot is usually enough to kill.
Also, infantrymen get a shovel as a melee weapon. You don't understand how fun it is to shovel a guy to death.
The thing that is good about using Half-Life 2's engine is the voice communication. It's really easy to use a headset to communicate with teamates. In BF2 it's hard.
There are a lot of player classes too. Each has a different kind of weapon like in BF2: "scout, infantry, sergeant, machine gunner, and more, each with a unique arsenal of historical weaponry at their disposal" What's cool is the machine gunner uses heavy duty machine guns. Like the germans use the MG42 or the MG34. But you have to go to prone position and deploy it to use it. Once its deployed, you can mow down guys instantly. One click and poof, guys are annihilated. It's much more realistic than Battlefield 2 where guys can take like 6 or 7 shots for a heavy duty machine gun.
In one burst with the MG42, you can easily kill 3 or 4 guys if they are running in a group together.
