New Player Influx

Sup Gang!

Maybe its just me and my on-going issue with schizophrenia.. but I'm hearing a lot of new voices lately..
Has there been a recently influx of mega new PR players? (I don't actually have schizophrenia..)

I'm kinda thinking there is, but then again, if there hasn't been - we have a problem..

If you were an Ultra New Newb and wanted to learn how to how say, fly a Huey.. or be a Squad Leader.. But was tired of playing against bots on Co-op, where does one go? All the Training Servers are always locked and I haven't seen an update for an open training server in a while..

Potential Problem:
With the general response being 'Read the Manual' and offering no assistance in learning the correct way to play the game, I feel a lot of new players are going to get kicked or banned and have no idea how to re-gain entry. Of course I'm really only referring to those players that maybe aren't as clued on or may not have access to the manual or whatever.. in any case I see a risk of player retention with no back up in place to turn those shitty, unwanted players, into valuable team members. Yes, it is the duty as 'better' players to teach whist playing, but is there something else we can do to better our chances of growing a more informed batch of new comers?

Thoughts, idea's & suggestions open to all!

There is no better way than inviting a new players to your squad and teaching them.
But, if the new player cant even join a squad or even worse doesn't have a mic....

Exactly. The new players have to cooperate as well. When I am squad leading I always accept newbs as long as they have a mic and follow the orders. Most of them however do not listen to chat / mumble / warnings / anything. Then there is no way to help them. Recently there was a guy who couldnt even speak english, he joined the squad and started speaking italian. What to do?

I mean I would love to teach new players in my squad, as long as he follows orders...

Scenario: 7 of the squad dead, the new player is up but he doesn't know how to medic, a bomb car is coming towards our perimeter, RPGs also flying over our dead body. My medic calls out on local and the new player wanders around (searching for kit? Idk) and steps on an IED.

It gets tiring sometimes.
