if they're running around in circles dying and not coordinated at all.. they're a random. if there camping in the mountains and getting 0/5 every game.. they're a random.

i will sometimes cry out "look out guys, this enemy team is not 'randoms'!" and I will also call out, "this 'blue' is not a random guys, lets put that 'blue' on our waiting list!" sometimes they accept our squad invite when a spot opens up.. if they don't, we move on with our lives..

but for the last week %90 of the time the blues have been randoms, and it's not worth the headache of having to listen to their random crap on our mics

not only that but you risk getting a comms bug if you switch chat channels from squad to team in the middle of a match.. it's just not worth it to me and my squads to deal with..

sry if that offends ppl,

actually i'm not it just makes me sound nice

and Krip Prime, if you're tired of running with randoms and wanna try out one of our squads you're welcome to. if you don't like it we don't harass you for leaving it like some are known to do (lust4dust) we just go on with our lives and wish you the best after you leave our squad and hope you are mature enough to handle rejection (we care more about your attitude and mic etiquette than your score/KDR)

we're not a corp, just a bunch of random guys who have added each other to contacts because we're tired of playing with bad randoms and getting 1 out of 5 games maybe that don't suck..

and we're also tired of elitists who fail to drop uplinks and insist on random spawning or who flex their epeens to us on random team games.. so we have decided to boycott it all and form our own squads, if that makes us bad guys or bad players then i guess we are, but we do things our own way despite the unwritten rules.

the term random is not meant as a derogratory it's just the term we use to describe the player on the field who is not coordinated and is not worth the risk for us to stretch our necks out to, they'll just despawn anyway if we try to revive them or take off sprinting when we try to repair them. their failure to play as a team is not worth it to us.

I hear where ur comin from Baggins. Idk if you got into the recent Ghost Recon debocle or not but its a perfect example of what you are saying about coordinated gameplay. A lot of KDR buffing and lone wolfing (usually resulting in a data hack for the opposing team) instead of hacking objectives FTW. Seriously pi$$ed me off plenty of times. But once in awhile i'd run into somebody worth throwing out an add to. Far as the Mics go I have been seeing the same thing. Ive only recently started playing (10 matches or so) but Ive never heard anybody using voice. This thread should help. The Mic system does seem a bit overly complicated. I can't imagine using the PTT system. Maybe it was designed for people with an extra finger on their left hand lol. Im deffinately interested in finding some players to roll with. I see great potential for this game.
