So last match I played I was soloing, hadn't even made a squad and locked it, just wasn't in one.
I got a bit annoyed when I earned 2535 WP and didn't get an orbital.
If a player single-handedly earns enough War Points to get an Orbital then they should get one, regardless of if they took the time to make a solo squad or not. |

1. Meh, last time I actually bothered to check the amount on the forums everyone said it was 2400. Always thought it was peculiar they didn't just go to 2500.
2. By forming a 1 man squad it prevents you from receiving squad invites. If you try and invite someone part of another squad then you will get a window popping up saying something about how they are unable to receive it because they are in a squad already.
I wouldn't have minded being invited to a squad, I just wasn't actively searching for one. If players all start making lone wolf squads then no one would be able to form an actual squad unless they invited the person before going into the queue.
What I'm saying is to essentially turn every solo player into a one man squad that isn't registered as a squad on the chat and whose members (technically member since it would only be the one player) can receive invites to other squads.
This way people who want to play solo can still reap the benefits of doing well, while still being able to get invited to another squad for teamwork.
If someone makes a locked solo squad, like you said to, then they are essentially saying "I'm antisocial and don't like teamwork. Leave me alone and go away." |

This isn't a solo game.
I wasn't in a squad but I stayed with the team.
Did you think I earned all that WP from kills alone? I was running my the BPO version of my Frontline Support fitting. (what I call my logistics)
my stats for that match were:
- Kills: 22 (best streak: 11)
- Assists: 8
- Deaths:6 (worst streak: 1)
- Headshot kills: 0
- Longest kill: 44.76
- Total healing given: 2843
- Total healing Received: 0
- Total damage dealt: 14246
- Total damage received: 10088
- Favorite Dropsuit: 'Sever' Logistics M-1
- Favorite Weapon: 'Exile' Assault Rifle
- WP: 2535 (closest person had 2097
 was opposing teams top player)
Just because a person isn't in a squad doesn't mean they aren't helping their team. |

The game doesn't reward solo based play that's what clearly differentiates games like this from COD.
I'm sorry man but it would have been just as easy to create your own squad, your excuse for not doing so doesn't yield the game fundentaly changed to support a solo play style.
How did I miss the fundamentals of the game?
I wasn't in a squad but I supported my team. Just because someone is in a squad doesn't mean they're actually doing anything to help. (and vice versa, I've seen plenty of people in squads that did absolutely nothing to help)
I spent the majority of that match in a building with 2 friendly heavies defending against a siege trying to get capture.
You and Godin are both contradicting yourselves.

So since this is a team based game that doesn't reward going solo I should make a solo squad? |

Unfortunately, this mentality won't disappear for a long time.
? I never said it was a killstreak and I don't think that. 
If you do the math, my kills and assists only account for 1300 of the 2535 WP I earned. That's only about half, so the rest of my WP were gained through resupplies, spawns on drop uplinks, repairs, revives, hacks, etc.
So what led you to believe that I think of them as killstreaks?
I'm a logibro so I certainly know there is more to WPs than just kills and assists. |

I wasn't playing solo to see how I would do, I was playing solo because I didn't feel like going out and making a squad and spamming the lobby with invites. Or looking for one for that matter.
Sometimes I don't feel like looking for a squad, if I get a squad invite I'll accept, but I won't go out of my way to find a squad. |
