Aero Yassavi PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 1175	Posted - 2013.08.11 16:25:00 - [1] - Quote How about a squad maker option that takes into account your role? I see many MMOs do this for raids, but surprisingly no FPS games have really tried it. So here is how it will work. You go to the matchmaking and click to join a battle and if you want to get in as fast as possible that will be it and you are thrown onto a team as usual. If however you are willing to wait a little longer, you can opt to "search for squad." It will then prompt you to put a check next to which roles you would like to play (Scout, Assault, Logistics, Sentinel, Commando) and it will then proceed to find an appropriate squad. It will work by matching up roles to fit one of many accepted squad archetypes which we can all debate here. I'll give some examples, Assault Assault Assault Assault Logistics Logistics Assault Assault Logistics Logistics Scout Sentinel Assault Assault Assault Commando Logistics Logistics Assault Assault Commando Commando Logistics Logistics Assault Assault Sentinel Sentinel Logistics Logistics Assault Assault Scout Scout Logistics Logistics And so on, covering as many squad archetypes deemed appropriate. One player will then be selected as squad leader (either randomly or based on some other statistic) and proceed to battle.

How so? I am not saying you should play one exact style of each role, but suggesting that the many, many styles of each role you can make in the fittings should all still play nicer in some sort of squad archetype than random meshes you get as people spam squad invites to everyone not in a squad.
