===Find a good match and squad=== Let's get you into a game. In the [[server browser]] you pick a server to play on. '''Choosing the right server and the right squad to play with is key'', it will determine a large portion of your experience with Squad, whether this will be good or bad. Hence, choose wisely and according to the following tips. * Most servers are run by communities from specific '''regions''' in the world. With the region, often the main '''spoken language''' on that server is determined (although some regions are also good with English as a second language, others are not). Ideally, you play on servers in your region and with your own language. Alternatively, you can choose an English-spoken server. It is pointless to play on a server where you can't communicate with the others. Take a close look at the server names, they usually give away their region. * A full server will usually more busy than a half populated server. Better start on half populated servers - the Squad Leaders and squad members will be more willing to support you. Once you enter the server, you will be automatically assigned to one of the two teams. Now look for a squad that isn't locked or full and [[Squad Management|join]] them. When choosing your squad, consider the following points: * As a new player, you shouldn't create a new squad. This will automatically make you the Squad Leader. Believe me, you're not prepared for this yet, let others take on this high responsibility. For the beginning, limit yourself to only joining existing squads. * If you cannot find an available squad, try to [[Squad Management|change the team]] (if the auto-balancing lets you) to look for an open squad. If you can't find one, change to another server. * When you join the squad, you can first listen in for a short while to determine if this squad is communicating or not. If it's all quiet for a minute or more, it's not a good sign. Maybe better join another squad instead. * When you decide to stay with this squad, say a short "Hi" over [[Communication|squad comm]]. Normally, you will get a friendly "hello" back from all squad members. Also, you have to tell them you're new, so they know to go easy on you and show you the ropes. A good squad will do this. * For your first few games, [[Kit Role Selection|pick a rifleman kit]] and leave the specalist kits for experienced members. In the future you should ask the Squad Leader what kit he needs and go with that one. * Have a look at the map to see where you should [[Spawning|spawn]]. Usually, try to spawn as close to the squad or Squad Leader as possible. You can also ask the Squad Leader where you should spawn or if you should hold the spawn and wait.
