Problem with the new Squad Feature?

[ReaperOfsouls]

They say that you get special points for being in a squad towards upgrades.

Well how many is a squad? Can one person make one and have no one in it and that count?

Or are they going to make a minumum amount(should be no more than 2)

OR! are they going to make it more people faster and more special points you get towards upgrade?

Let me know what you think.

I suspect that the squad bounus points will be based on something like the average score of the squad and given out based on what persentage of time you spent in it. Much like command points.

It will probably just be a flat rate. No matter how many people are in the squad, they all receive the same amount. Although I think being in a squad should be a multiplier for getting points for doing squad-like actions (heals, resupplies, etc.)

Ah great point. Only one question, if its just one perosn in squad wont you just get the points you have? Like if theres only one person in squad then they get mad points if they do good. I understand how commander points work, average of team score but what im saying is if theres only 1 person in swaud wont he just get his own points?

Like in bf2, the "Best" squad of each round *Should* get extra points or something, but nooo all bf2 does is puts your name on a list.. wooptydoo.lol
but maybe after so many squad points you get extra bonuses? would be sweet.

well at least everyone gets to see who the best squad is and when I see my name up there it does lenthin my e-penis:cool:
but we should get extra points.

Yeah, EA put too much trust in the idea that just "being in a squad" would be reason enough for people to do it. Put some sort of a point value to anything in the game, and people will find a way to whore it. Might as well have people whoring the idea of helping teammates out.

i bet they'll just put it so that the SL gets x amount of points for getting best squad (say a 25% bonus) and SM get y amount of points (say 10-15% bonus)

I always hoped that if you got on the best scores thing, then you would get a few bonus points, and if you got a certain badge/ribbon/medal, you would get larger bonuses (say 100/100,500,1000/5000 for ribbon, badge B, V, E/ Medal)

That sounds good. If people try to whore it and they will it will just get nerfed like the blackhawk chain guns did and the way the transport changed.

hopefully the bullets will actually be good this time and not nerferd, about the squad thing, i think just having that new feture where the SL can drop the spawn point will make me join it, way more stratergy involed with that.

in the latest article they wrote that being in a squad has more advantages than in BF2. You can get faster points, get "field upgrades" and you can spawn on a beacon the squadleader can deploy. plus, the squadleader has SD-18 drone that can take care of close-range targets, sounds cool :)

[madness]

Very cool

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya ti should make waiting for your squad members while taking a flag more safe.

They keep saying that it gives postion away but whats that matter if there is a spawn becon?

Can the squad leader not spawn at it?

[PsYcHo.KiLLa]

My opinion:

Kill points
Kit points
Commander points
Squad points

Though the 'Commander points' and 'Squad points' could be combined into a 'Special points' category.

I just dont want it to be cool then they have to nerf it becasue they did not think it through and people exploit it somehow.

[PsYcHo.KiLLa]

I really hope they think a lot before they add something new. I hope they learned from BF2.

i think there will be a minimum amout of 3, the bonus points will be limited to prevent stadpadding on soule servers, and you will get more points to get your award faster (40 unlocks and a lot of ranks, DICE tought things trough)

Makes sence. But on the same token I think as the ranks get higher the more points you need in realtion to last.

Like no, private to p.1st class is 500, then 1000 for next rank, then 1500 for rank after that etc... But once you get high up there like first sergent I think it is, its like 10000 to 2nd lt, then from there 15,000 to lt, etc.

So in essence you wont be able to fly through it but you wont have to play for months to get 2 unlocks which is a good thing.

thats a very good idea, it supports both the hard core gamers who want to reach the top rank but they dont what to do it on the first day, and the normal players who just want a couple of unlocks ranks right away without having to play for 1000 days

Ya I think ea realized that. I rember When they released the patch that re=did the bf2 rank requirements I went up 4 ranks in one map.
