I get the feeling that this is intended to make sorting pub teams easier, which will hopefully result in fewer multi-corp teams stomping all blueberry teams.

How do you sort pub teams quickly in <1 min?

Normally not all are on comms, it takes >30 seconds for everyone to load in, then adding people to contacts to invite them to your squad, then load contacts, means that you might have a few seconds to talk on comms and sort it out...?

I guess I see people's points made in other threads too. This is basically a way to force everyone to be on team chat together initially.

Since one fo jis patch note predictions came true I convince Iron wolf knows more than what hes telling us.

Seems pointless. If you wanted team chat as default, set team chat as default. Otherwise leave my squad alone.

Most likely this.




If this was the case, they could have made team chat the default rather than squad.

Honestly I don't think so. I was always under the impression (and was told) that only those in your squad can spot enemies to show up on the radar.

I have witnessed this in experience too, a whole group of blues could be hammering down on a group of reds, yet the only time they show up is when a squad member gets eyes on them. Isn't this orbital 101 kind of stuff? Get squad members to get eyes on red dots so they show up on the map, and therefore the one with an orbital can get a better idea where to put it? Many times i have had a surprise red dot, or multiple red dots, show up behind or in front of me despite a blue dot, or multiple blue dots, looking right at them.

Also I have been in squads of 1 before and never saw red dots unless I got eyes on them myself (or my scanners picked them up in close proximity).


I dunno, unless something isn't working correctly for me, blue dots getting eyes on a red dot never made them show up on my radar or map. I find blue dots shooting at red dots all the time and I only see the red dot on radar/HUD/map when I, or a squad member, look at them.

So is there any difference between a squad member spotting a red dot and a bluedot spotting one? Maybe a red dot spotted by a squad member always shows up on my HUD/radar/map, but the bluedot spotting a red only shows up under the circumstances you are saying (most relevant battlefield intel).

PS removal is awful. If you add yourself in to a squad, and the game ends. the system does not let you join other games, as you are not the leader.

Also, as most people dont squad up, there are fewer orbital strikes and no objectives set. On many games, I just follow the herd, or run where there are lots of blues, as there is no organisation.

Can you mute individual people? I've only seem total mute that turns off everything. Also a lot of those green things go off constantly just cause you can hear them playing the same game lol

my observations

-new players do not squad up, missing the chance to have orbital strikes.
-More experienced players squad up, and get to use orbital strikes, giving them an advantage
-People still do not generally communicate or set objectives. There is no strategy, except for following larger groups of players, to stay alive.

I have a headset and set objectives, but most people do not.

I would suggest automatic squad creation, that way you introduce new players to squads, and squad objectives. That encourages teamwork.
