Question You a soloist or squaddie?


I guess I'm just anti-social. I typically play solo and rarely try to squad up with others.

I like squading occasionaly when I find some players who are just having fun and don't need a lot of supervision to work effectively.

As a solo player I spend my time using my Engineering skills to support an assault or defend a base. I make ANT runs. I cruise around in my Lightning preying on stragglers and being a general nuisance for the enemy. I've palyed long enough that I can generally read the flow of battle and I can anticipate the enemies movements ahead of time which allows me to react quicker than most squads who generally appear more interested in getting BEP out of the next cap. I probably spend as much time reading the map as most CR5s do.

Squads can be fun sometimes, but generally I find they slow me down and restrict my ability to adapt to the ever changing battlefield.

When my outfit mates are not on, I solo. I am not the least bit interested in CR and the way that Sony penalizes grouping, it just isnt worth it to squad up unless your using voice in an outfit squad

Squad almost exclusively. I'll solo if I'm the only one on, but that doesn't happen too often.

Squads are much more effective when they have decent players in them. Try squading up with your outfit and switch on teamspeak. Much larger forces that are unorganized wont stand much of a chance.

Solo... more xp unless you want to be lazy, take a support role, or both. Small squads are ok however... I'll usually only squad up if im extremly bored and want to talk more than kill.

Hardcore squaddie. However, during my formative Month (free trial, yay) I was a soloing mo'fo.


Explains why I could never get above BR8 as a TR.... Soloing isnt something that a TR can do effectively, at least to my experience.

I do both. And sometimes I do both at the same time. I will be in a squad, but I will be alone on the other side of the continent blowing up bases defenses and generators. My suqad highly values me when I am able to do this successfully, as it helps their efforts immensely on where they are. So, I do both.

On my NC char, I always squad up. We have a good outfit going, usually 2 squads every night, and we run around with another aussie outfit. All of us are on TS, spewing shit the whole time.

On my VS char, squadded. Need a gunner for my mag.

On my TR char, usually solo. I am the irritating bastard who always back hacks you, takes all the towers when you aren't watching or jams an AMP up your ass and pulls the trigger when you think your safe.

I hope you lube it up first. Rectal tearing is a prime source of infections :l
