What could possibly be the hold up for this? I think I hear more then anything else and longest (beta) time, Platoons are very much needed.

They seem to be ignring Platoons and make no mention of it, I hope they are still working on it :(

Who else really wants this added?

they're probably saving it for an expansion, as obviously, it was the most anticipated feature they mentioned.

better to get their $$ where they can I guess.


instead of bitching about jackhammers, let's bitch about platoons!

I don't bitch about the JH it's a waste of time and breath. Some day people will realize that :lol:

But they said in beta it would be added they never mentioned an " expansion pack" :mad:

Platoons will make such a big difference for most smaller outfits... I'm dying for this feature.

I hope Hamma and Mars can get an answer to this tonight from SJ. They (the dev's) have been avaioding speaking about this and it's disheartening :(

They are still planning on implementing it, they just haven't brought it up again, because they assumed everyone knew.

Well Originally it was "supposed" to be released with the game but never happen. SJ spoke about in in Feb I believe and said it would be in there.

Then they said shortly after release yet when people ask on the OF no one on the DEV team will say a word. This is the one feature EVERYONE wants yet they are not adding it. I would rather have Platoons then a new vehicle.

i wish they would put this in soon. im sick of having a full squad in my outfit and having to have 2 squads and not share exp and having to use the outfit talk to quardinate things.

I personally won't enjoy participating in platoons...

Already I get 15-30 XP per kill in squads of 10 when I could be getting over 100 per kill, when in platoons I will be getting 1.5-3 XP per kill, when I could be getting 100+ XP per kill...Beh.

I like squads, I'm willing to just take the tiny XP so I can play with my clan mates, but 3 XP per kill....what's the point? Guess thats why I want to hit BR20 so bad so I can concentrate more on fighting with friends rather than working towards a goal (BR20) I'm just like that I guess, I like to get stuff done quickly and efficiently...and getting 3 XP per kill isn't getting to BR20 quickly and efficiently :p

who cares about exp. eventually, even casual gamers will have br20. and if you are casual and worrying about it, well that makes no sense. if you're hardcore, then you ought to already be br20 or cr5.
