A specific type of paint baller who stands at the start point for almost the entire battle and just gives orders

type 1. a noob who try's to show of by attempting to demonstrate leadership not actually giving any useful orders, just to hide the fact he / she is scared shitless of being hit

type 2. a pro who over watches the map in order to see whats going on and to spot any week spots in the enemy defense, usually armed with a long range marker
Type 1 Back-Seat-Commander: Move forward!!!
Guy1: SHUT THE FUCK UP, GET DOWN HERE AND DO SOMETHING!!!
Guy2: fucking noob Paintball Back-Seat-Commander

Type 2 Back-Seat-Commander: you three, move up the middle where the resistance is strongest and draw as much attention as possible, remember its more important that you stay alive than take out the enemy, you five take the left side on my "go" when their attention is at the center the rest of you reinforce the center as necessary but in the meantime protect the objective!
Guy1: SIR, YES SIR!
Guy2: Wow this guy really knows what hes doing
