The stomping of randoms and newberries by 6 man squads on pubs have to stop. It is hurting the game. We need new players to stay not for old players to scare them away.

This idea of 4 on pubs and 6-8 on FW hurts no one but the stat padders and pub stompers.
You want to roll with your 6 friends? Queue up for a FW battle. You would actually be helping FW queue times and *gasp* playing with players probably on your same level. Now I know that a lot of 6 man squads leave a match when they see that the other side also has 6 man squads.

4 man squads only on pubs hurts nobody except for the stat padders and stompers that want to feel good about themselves and ganging up on that one redberry trying to make the match worth it.

So Rattati, for the game's health do it. Make 4 man squads only for pubs.

I think you are really quite sideways on this, why no squad? Its not like you receive bonus health for being in a squad of someone with "leadership boosters" in their head. In fact as a solo player I can still get within the top 3 spots on a regular basis if I just go and run my gun, and drop some equipment to help others. That is in PUB play without breaking out a whole bunch of proto gear.

Its not about padding stats its about working with the team to accomplish the goal, having larger groupings available would allow for better cooperation especially in pub matches where 1 squad on the other team is holding the map, the thing is that they are their team, its not ganging up, that one redberry is doing the wrong thing and needs to be grouping with others. Moving with the team, not being a lone target but part of the mob running at the enemy so the dps gets split between multiple targets.

In fact if I want to stat pad, my sniper rifle and proto scout work fine, as do my BPO logi suit fit with proto rep tool and proto nanite injector. Those too are parts of a team that are needed, just not for every merc. Larger squads would allow more specialization based on need by communication and working together rather than a bunch of solo players run and gunning.

Every commando k.o, every weapon at adv or above. Don't give a damn bout my kdr, I will kill you.

Do you remember this thing we all hung out in, made squads and a crude plan, then we all got deployed..... Oh yeah! warbarge! Bring it back for like a 30 sec timer. Usually waiting between 13-25 sec anyway. And Id rather have 5 really good battles, than 9 medicore matches. Please Every commando k.o, every weapon at adv or above.

If you suggest ideas like this then you need to stop playing Dust, get off the forums, and deactivate your Twitter. Rattati, don't even consider this. Care to elaborate? CCP has already derailed the fun in this game over the course of the last year. Between ruining vehicles, equipment, orbitals, then onto suits and playstyles. Bringing down squads from 6 to 4 equals less fun for the squad and now unobtainable orbitals. Want to fix protostomping? Remove Officer weapons and Prototype suits and weapons from pubs. Problem = fixed. Warbarges would be reworked to accomadate smaller sqd size. Every commando k.o, every weapon at adv or above. Don't give a damn bout my kdr, I will kill you.
