WOW....this guy must be EXTREMELY NEW...no offense of course...but yeah...if u join an objective game, u will have to wait until one team wins, then u will be able to join the fight. If u die, u will have to wait until one team wins too, then, and only then, will u be able to play again. About the first question, its not a little soldier that u see in the botton of screen

...its a symbol about your connection, and when u see it, it means that u r experiencing what we call L-A-G....repeat after me....L-A-G.....it will go away after a few seconds, depending on the connection u have, if it doesnt, then your connection is really bad or the server's connection is really bad, thus, having a high P-I-N-G....the lower the ping that u have, the better u can play.
