Stacking of corporations?

Not something I have heard of, even down here in the DUST.

Would actually be a good idea that for blueberries +1.

Also on the other side playing as a squad of 6 against a squad of 6 from your own corp is quite funny you know each others playstyles and try to counter it but they know yours and counter that had one last night and it was so funny and completley chaotic.

Snipers are your best friend.


if players want to run in a group of 6 and not watch cover( which they never do ) they die, of course at best there's usually only 0-2 competant snipers in a game now...so sucks to be you I guess.

Maybe you should try actually playing with your corp.

well match making is an old issue, and been discussed alot, didn't think that was your complaint.

this isn't COD, it's a squad focused game. you are supposed to fight in squads, and something like a squadless game mode would do nothing but teach new players the wrong way to play the game

You never played MAG did you. It was pretty common to see groups of 8 or more (once clan deploy was implemented)

Or even BF3. I saw a group of 4 clan members in every other match I played. Would have been more, except grouping of 4 is all that BF3 allowed. (for PS3)

Same games are more "squad-friendly" ... meaning they GENERALLY require more teamwork to be effective. This means you're more likely to see ppl grouping up. The reason you don't see it as much in COD, is because it's easier to just run and gun by yourself.

Hey don't be hasty. You probably would hate socom too. Thing is you can't solo here. I've played it all, And when you do try and solo (even with good intentions as in trying to carry team) you will go 0-11. YOU DON"T CARRY TEAMS IN TEAM FPS. SQUADS DO. in BF you can take out a 4 person squad solo. Not here. Not in mag. even less in socom.

yea we're definately running out of things to nerf so the 6 man squads should be nerfed next

It has been said many times before, but this is a team based game. Just like other Team based game. What it is *not* is a Solo Shooter like COD or many others in the same vein. It seems to me your problem comes from not liking Team Based games.

While this should not matter so much to you, being you have a corp behind you, any new player who does not have a corp, can do many things to increase their survivability and their teamwork, even when not running with an organised corp squad.

1. Turn on Team Chat. You don't *have* to have a mic for this, but it helps. If you have no headset, you will still hear team chat through your speakers. This can be vital for co-ordination, and general battlefield awareness. (No bloody excuses about UVT now, even if it wasn't valid for team chat before)

2. Run with Team Members. Don't just rambo off on your own, run with team mates and support the Team.

3. (Outside of Battle) If you do not have a Corp, and do not know anyone in game, open that little magical window on the side called "Chat". Check out your Local chat. Talk in there. Meet people. Post LFS (Looking for Squad) and look for people asking for squad members. (Looking for x and Room for x, LFx and RFx, x being a number or role ofc.)

However, if a person is truly a stubborn mule and wants this to be a Solo Shooter no matter how much the opposite is true, nothing short of an LAV to the back of the head (figuratively ofc) is going to change them, and no, CCP should not have to change their game to support a few stubborn mules.

"That Majority" don't though. Yeah I get games with random rambos, as we all do. But I have plenty of games, many times, with organised people (not in same corp, not even squadded before match) that go well, there is good teamwork, good communication, and just an overall good game for both sides. I have also run with many a new player, and helped them to learn the ropes. It is something I enjoy doing.

But, from my perspective of what I have seen anyway, The Majority come into this game understanding it is a team based game, even if they aren't running with a team to start with. It is only a few Stubborn Mules who insist this should be a Solo Shooter to appease their appetite, when DUST is damn near as far away from a Solo Shooter as you can get.

It is an MMOFPS. Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter. Set in a consistent, single-shard universe, where your actions matter and finding friends is pretty much essential. This is what DUST is, there is no two ways about that. If people come into the game completely misunderstanding what it is about, well they can either learn (the old Adapt or Die adage) or they can be a bloody stubborn mule and get walked all over. I hate to use the old cliche, but "Welcome to New Eden".

Problem with this "no squads" thing is that it wouldn't resolve anything.

Players from same corporation or heck even just friends, join pubmatch the same time and if they dont get into same team, then tey will leave the match.
Once in the match at same side, you would just use corporation voice coms or player created channel to communicate. And you have just undone the whole reason why this "no squads" thing was created.
Or if just regular free for all, then 'squading up' becomes even easyer.

As long as there is way to coordinate your actions inside a battle with others there will be 'squads' roaming around, be it formalized or not.
