Squad formation, HOT BREAKING NEWS! (happy Afex.. I am good)

[Hatte]

They should add in a favourites feature, so if you've played with some guys before and liked their style, but dont want something more organised, like a clan, you can quickly find them and message them, instead of looking thru hundreds of ppl.

[Hamma]

There are favorite's for weapons.

I agree it would be a great idea to have the ability to bookmark certain troops and outfits

[Jinxmasta]

Favorites sounds good and so does a small profile! Here you could put stuff about your character and all that so you might convince some squad leader to pick you for the squad.

[Sandtaco]

That's a little overboard. Did I hear that were going to use those message boards? I thought those things were crap.

[Hatte]

Hehe, sounds like a clan recruitment type of system, not a 'lets go play for a hour' system, but i agree that some sort of stats would be helpful for comm's to pick capable people.

[diluted]

..what? i dunno if a favs system would work. if you have a large squad/outfit then it wouldnt be the best idea. but perhaps categories such as "Great defense team: name, name, name" stuff liek that. or just buds you meet in a misc category. check out AIM's layout. like that.

I think there should be a ranking system so you can just click on a button and there you have a long list of the top people. You could choose between top 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, and so on. This would be determined by BEPs, CEPs, and some kill to death ratio score thingie.

Put those outfits and troops on speed dial. "Hey I need a (insert request) right here now!

Which leads to stat whoring, and that would ruin the point of the game, the best players usually dont cooperate very well, because they are all vying(sp?) for the top spot.

jinx, if that was the way it worked, then the noobs would never get to join a squad. they'd have to maybe tag along without officially being invited. oh are BEPs shared between members of a squad or all-or-none?

[Jinxmasta]

Well to get the top spot, wouldn't you need to cooperate? I've heard that going lone wolf doesn't work in this game and if you try and do everything by yourself, you will get killed.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

That seems to be the general consensus. If you try and go cowboy you're just going to get owned.

[Hatte]

I believe that they are given to every member in the squad as if they had made the kill/hack/etc. themselves. but i may be wrong.

I also said they could do it the other way too so that newbies could get picked too if the squad leader was being nice. Oh and I think the majority of squads will be formed without too much organization and strategy. I mean, you need some but everything doesn't need to be top notch. What I mean by this is that a lot of squads are going to be put together in a small vicinity around a base. Like a squad commander just shouts out that he's making a squad quickly and almost anyone can join at first, and then fill in the specialization spots later.

[Jinxmasta]

ALL the BEPs are shared throughout the whole squad meaning the person who got the kill and the person that did nothing will get the same amount of BEPs and full BEPs at that.
