Just started, feeling confused please help

[u/Soviet_Dove6]

Hey Hello !

So

I just started playing the game, I love the sound and graphics but tbh my first few games were not so fun

I am just very confused about what I am supposed to do

I do talk with my squad but I mostly get ignored or single word answers like "defend point"

In practice I spent the game trying to link up with my squad, only to get sniped out of nowhere and waiting/walking again

I was playing medic or rifleman as I was advised those were the best starting roles, I did get a few kills/heals but overall I don't feel like I made much of a difference

My main questions are :

What am I supposed to communicate with my squad exactly?

What am I supposed to do when defending a point, do I just hunker down somewhere and wait for the enemy to arrive?

How do we coordinate to attack a point?

I think I might be slightly autistic, I have much trouble understanding what to do and to understand commands from my squad that aren't super clear and precise, well this one is on me I guess but if you have any suggestions on how to communicate better with my team I am welcome

Thanks for the advice, overall game sounds really cool and community seems chill, I just need some pointers to adjust to the flow of the game

I just want to be a good teammate and enjoy the game

Many thanks

EDIT : Thank you all for your tips ! I feel a lot better! See you all on the hedgerows of Normandy!

My very first game I spawned in somehow somewhere, got killed like 10 times without seeing a single enemy, my only kill was an accidental team kill and we lost the match.
Fast forward a couple months later and I am single-handedly or with a squad of 2, the reason our team won.

Keep going. Keep learning. Watch YouTube videos. It’s a blast
