Re: v1.03: Will squads be maxxed and look like this because of lonewolves?

I was thinking the same thing when i read this, I hope that it doesnt do this but, I think it should make, commanders, Squad Leaders immune but also to make it so that the people with the least time played on your team gets switched over. This would avoid the annoying feature of playing to win a battle for 30 mins and be moved on over to the other team to lose a minute before the original teams victory.

LoL
Whats the Deal to Run a Solo Squad ? Its Useless... ^^

As someone above posted.. you can order your own supplies/arty/uav. Most people don't use requesting supplies/uav to the extent it should.

Re: v1.03: Will lonewolves max out squads like this?

Are we going to be seeing this all the time in the squad tab:

Yes
And I am 100% sure of that.
It'll probably the most flamed exploit in the BF series ever.

According to this v1.03 pre-patch teaser:


Are we going to be seeing this all the time in the squad tab:

Never ever had a problem like this (in fact, I've never seen an 'Indigo' squad :P), but I doubt that the patch will condone locked one-man squads.

Think about it ... how many people will even KNOW about the fact that SL's can't be team-switched? Sure, we forum regulars know about it, but the majority of people playing won't have a clue. Even now, about 40-60% of players don't even join squads!

I don't think it will be a problem...

Why wouldn't they disallow it? I make a 1 man locked squad as SNIPER all the time. This way I can communicate with the commander from my roost, I can ask for supplies (always run out), I can call for artillery and UAV.

The reason I lock my squad is because people kept spawning on me and walking over my claymores then PUNISHING me...arg...

Everyone who reads the patch notes I would think?

I'm not suggesting that people will join squads as members, I'm suggesting that because of the new rule where squad leaders and commanders will not be switched, that some Lonewolves will create a one person locked squad.

The reason why Lonewolves create a one person squad is because they like being "stealthy". Nothing like having someone spawn on you only to give away your position and both of you die.

Ah, I missed that!!! 3/9 should be 9/9...arg...oh well.

Re: v1.03: Will squads be maxxed and look like this because of lonewolves?

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!! The patch isnt even out and u ppl are already bitchin!

OMFG!!!!!!!! why not bitch?? its been 3 months since we became
paying beta testers! And you must be the bigger moron, here, since
you actually have faith in this PATCH..

150+fixes , major overhaul to the server browser, additional graphics
code ALL in one patch ?????????? BAD IDEA. But then again , we're
dealing with EA/DICE here.. Kings of Idiocy.

Re: v1.03: Will squads be maxxed and look like this because of lonewolves?

i hate it when i see 1 person squads, locked or unlocked. what is the point of that? to call in arty or supplies? just type that, dont waste squad space cuz your a worthlss sniper out in the middle of nowhare with no more claymores

Re: v1.03: Will squads be maxxed and look like this because of lonewolves?

Hmm...seems that my prediction pre-1.03 has come true.

Re: v1.03: Will squads be maxxed and look like this because of lonewolves?

Yup. I have to ask on nearly every server for the lone wolves to unlock their squads and join another.
