When making a platoon....

[DiosT]

When forming a platoon, is someone/can someone be designated as a "platoon leader", and if so, is that person still in his squad?


Or is that person a 'seperate' commander that's specifically just managing the fight/squads from the 'outside' (doesnt have to worry about bullets firing at him--unless he wants to be close)...

just asking =p

I bet hamma knows this. Because he's the only lucky s.o.b. here who's played planetside. :mad:

[DiosT]

but hamma is a sneaky lil nazi w/ego problems and wont release that knida info to us! =p

:sniper: Hamma :blowup:

Nah, hamma's great admin! I mean, his posts would make Shakespeare weep with joy! The man radiates brilliance! Not that I'm trying to get a custom title above my avatar... tho I wouldn't mind.

Hmm, I'd probably say that the person is either in their original squad, or they can form a 'command squad'. Actually forming a command squad would be a pretty cool option. You could put some heavy hitters in there to act as the reserve. Take it wherever the fight got hottest.

Also hamma I'm one of the few people who hasn't mocked you about the lake of death! Just remember that, okay? :D

They haven't released any solid info on these features, but the little they have said leads me to believe that for a "commander" to command a platoon they would have to be one of the members of one of the three squads.

Yeah, there'd be a Platoon Leader, and he'd invite other Squad Leaders. That'd be the most logical way to make it work.

[DiosT]

well... most logical typically isn't SOE's way of doing things, which is why i'm forced to ask =p

[Warborn]

There really isn't a better way to work it.

I dont know how platoons work hehe, we have not heard much information on them. ANd I did not form a platoon at the event, just a squad

[NapalmEnima]

Hammster, as I understand it (and I could be wrong), the amount of BEP doesn't change for a given kill, no matter how many people there are in your squad (also getting the same BEP). I don't think platoon sharing will be any different.

And if there's to be sharing of BEP and CEP across platoons as well as squads, theres no reason NOT to form a full platoon at every oportunity.

The more people you've got killing and capping with you, the more EP you'll get (of whatever variety).
