Topic: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

Withering fire is a great thing, but I still sense a lack of squadplay on the servers.  Even though I always tell the team to make squads, it usually ends up with 2 squads and a lot of lone wolves.

In Project Reality, you were forced to join a squad on some servers, otherwise you would get kicked. Its a bit harsh, but people do join squads. And if they don't play together with the squad, the squadleader can just kick them out of it, resulting in a kick from the server after 3 minutes not playing in a squad.

Since you want First Strike to be centered on squad-play, maybe you should use such a system too?

Of course, it could all be a matter of time until people realize that joining squads is the way to go. Still, please consider this suggestion smile .

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

I agree with this. The problem is even worse in normal battlefield 2142 because people blame the commander when he cant do anything,

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

On my server everyone always seems to squad up and listen to their squad leaders commands.  I think a kick for not joining a squad would be a good feature to add though.

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

in vanilla bf2142 there is one server (Squadplay all the way) that kicks also all lonewolves, once u played there you hardly want to play anywhere else again, its so intense and incredible playing with many voip conversations.

if this mod gets anything similar to this server, it will pwn everything (not only on ground maps!!)

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

I'd actually like a 'Squad up or get kicked' feature like in PR.

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

better get it working DS tongue

full force for squad play can never be a good idea. becuase there wil always be people who never want to join a squad.
hell even i sometimes feel like going solo. that while your not save in my squad if you dont follow orders

Re: Squadplay doesnt seem to get stimulated enough

I would disagree with such a thing. I consider the squads to be a tool for ADVANCED teamwork. Thing is, you have to choose it willingly or it wont work IMO. I dont put much faith in squads myself... I find it natural to bunch together regardless of being in someones squad. If anything, the squad isolate me from all the other players. We're a team after all wink
