One thing that bugged me about PS was the inability to color-coordinate more than 30 players. What if I'm teh c00lest nerd ever and i have fourty friends and we all want to play together. You can only fit thirty people in your platoon, and the rest just look like greenies. I always thought you could have one more level of organization, say a brigade (five platoons).
It wouldn't be practical with modern-day planetside, but back in the day, the big outfits could field a brigade, and you'd probably have organized half the population on a continent. Imagine if an entire outfit organized two brigades and pop locked a continent.
Anyway, got off topic there with my wet, err, daydreams.
Obviously you could still communicate on TS or Vent, even if they weren't in your platoon, but you could do the same thing with nobody in a platoon.
Just me hoping that you can organize more troops that show up colorfully on the map (and hopefully share experience
)
