I asked why it's an issue because if they were team oriented players it wouldn't be an issue. Ambush is just a flawed mode if you're looking to be organized, it's TDM, the spawns are random unless you drop an uplink. If you want to really work as a team then you should be playing skirmish, IMHO.

You're expecting teamwork from random players in FPS games. That is a big mistake.

As others have pointed out, there's more to come so just wait. Tough it out and get some more members, I'm glad to be in an active corp where there's always a squad to join.

Not getting curb stomped is good motivation.

But twitchy shooters have caused people to forget how to wait. INSTANT ACTION, ALL THE TIME. There have been countless times where I've run to a downed team member (on my squad or not) only for them to re-spawn the nanosecond I reach them.

Until the concept of 'you need medics' and 'you need to wait for medics' is ingrained in players heads, then things are going to keep going poorly.

I have the same problem, and I think this is a sign that there is both a lack of willingness to cooperate and distrust even among players on the same team.

The game is designed for teamwork but nobody in pubs actually plays the game that way, it's everybody running and gunning lone wolf style or sniping behind the red line doing absolutely nothing. Nobody ever has a mic and no one proactively works with a squad.

I will admit I have not used squad commands. But do players get any war points for following squad commands? Because most players seem to reside with the idea of "Kill the enemy until there's no more enemy to kill."

I play Artificier most of the time, so I am always looking for guys to revive and heal. However, I rarely see anyone doing the same, and I've only been revived one time ever (and was shortly killed afterwards because the medic didn't clear the area).

I know how to play cooperatively, but there seems to be a lack of willingness from many to cooperate.

I fail to see how sticking together and watching each others' backs is "a big ask."

I've logged about 500 hours on Battlefield 3, and although there wasn't teamwork all the time, there was a general level of cooperation that I've come to expect, and Dust 514 so far does not meet that standard. If this is how the game will continue to be, fine, I will go back to BF3. But don't expect CCP to be happy about losing a customer.

it's a big ask because some people don't think that way, even though they should. It's just not in their mental framework, for whatever reason.

Besides, sticking together is overrated, so are the use of mics.

How to put this. CCP does not do linear forced gameplay normally. They prefer the sandbox method with a bunch of a sand and some walls in place. Anything that happens generally goes within reason. Since it's a CCP product, and not Sony or some other company then the game is going to be designed around giving players the tools to do things with. Corp building and managing is one of them. So they're not going to make gameplay that forces players to actually work as a team. The design of the game encourages it, but it's not going to be forced.

teamwork cant be forced by the game. Its the people who need to have the will to work as a team. Dont ask what the team can do for you. You should ask yourself what you can do for the team instead. If you have the cod mentality (i dont need a team, im a beast) then stop playing right now. Lonewolfing wont get you anywhere on this game.

Always remember there is no I in TEAM. But there is an M and an E which means ME. So make sure you take care of you and yourself only otherwise TEAM will end up being MEAT!
