Let me see.....run round the map with just a gun and a couple nades, or join a squad and get all the avaible items in the kit......NO CONTEST! Though for some reason, on some servers you can join a squad and not have all the items (due to low members) or go lonewolf and for some reason they are all available.

I like being able to use voip to co-ordinate though, far easier and quicker. There's another benefit to squads as well, if playing as the support class, find an enemy spawn beacon and surround it with proxy mines. Stand back, gain kills. Go back, repeat. Or...place a detpack on it and run, then watch many bodies fly in to the sky Spawn beacon, I salute you \:)

Ah..but the push maps are designed for squads. Having small squads mounting numerous attacks from different directions is much harder to defend against than everyone just running in one direction. Of course for that to work you need people to form squads in order to co-ordinate and follow orders

If people complain its probably because its hard to attack a position on your own, with no tactical backup. Run into a squad of troopers, deploy shield, throw nades and lay down fire, medic throws in a bacta cannister and does some revives, second squad arrives to provide further backup and a leapfrog attack is then possible.
