Bf3 squad play discussion

it would be cool if the leader got a special privledge that wasnt taken from everyone else

Crombie wrote:whoa whoa WHOA, points? I thought it was randomly generated at start up? Either way, it'll make for an interesting element to the game play.

On a side note, I love that the term "wookie" caught on so fast and even the game designers use the term, how did it come around?

you dont spawn on top of them. just 20 meters in the safes/cant make use of spawn invincibility direction of the person

Team Death Match seems to be the filter where all the garbage K/D obsessed Head Not Shot snipers a will converse in a senate of suckdom and poop skills.

problem is that that means every other good game mode will be under populated because of the fact shit players out number none morons by a ration of 310 to 1.

BF3 looks to be in bad shape do the fact online gaming sucks......

Ah dammit....done got myself all sad with logic.

It will force your squad to be focused around one person, y'know, so when you're playing with randoms it won't just be a bunch of random people who happen to have green names spread about the map randomly spawning everywhere. Everyone in your squad will have to be in the same place pretty much.

It will also make conquest better because there will be more people spawning at and defending flags because the leader is dead. This means flags will actually stay captured for some lenght of time and it won't be this crappy musical flags thing that has been in BC1 and 2 because of squad spawn.

I was actually more in favor of squad spawning being removed from Conquest altogether but this seems like a good alternative.

Well not everyone is going to just hang back and snipe if the flag isn't two feet away. The losing team will have to capture something if they want to win, not snipe. Hopefull they will figure that out.

except without increased squad spawns games may turn into a two flag snipeout.

why walk 500ft when i can snipe form safety back here

i would be ok with this if there were excessive atv's on every large map

for example, not having an atv on harvest rush attack. thats about 1-2mins of str8 running. zzzzz
