RE Squad Spawns/Management.

Zhinto finally responded. "Everything we research points towards the way we are doing it is right".

Zhinto says now "I am very busy, we're leaving the squad system in as it is at launch, and we will see after launch"

Hmm, the deal breaker for me is the immensely broken Squad Management & Squad Spawn system.

The whole server had unlimited ammo.

What is the Squad Management system like now? I get randomly assigned to any squad, once I leave it, I have the option to find a squad but it always puts me back in the old one.

So it's all automatically done when you join the server?

setter · 1 Oct 2011 at 20:37

Yep, all auto at the minute, prefer the bfbc2 method were you can choose your own squad.

Coolasmoo · 1 Oct 2011 at 20:37

I went on with a mate for about 6 hrs last night and on the same server we never ended up in the same squad

rippling · 1 Oct 2011 at 20:37

Really having issues hit reg I have a 12x ballistics scope on sv98 at full range and guy kills me with a dam shot gun .
The reflections from the scopes are well overdone, should be far less obvious .
undeground in the dark the scopes look light a dam torch

setter · 1 Oct 2011 at 20:38

A few times ive managed to get in the same squad as a mate, but it's just a case of pot luck.

Jono8 · 1 Oct 2011 at 20:41

squad thing is a serious deal breaker

You often have to wonder who makes these decisions.

I imagine this has already been posted but its a long thread-

Seems very defensive from EA and I disagree, this is a demo. I know what a beta is, i know that it is not the full version and is still being worked on etc, but suggesting that this is not a demo doesn't make sense to me.

If this is a beta, for testing, why are we only testing one map?????????

For the record, i love it and will definitely be getting it, i'm not bashing it at all.

squad system is ridiculous they better change it.

Be aware of the bullet drop, at longer distances aim above their head.

The scope reflection is fine, and most of my kills are from the SV98, it's a great way to weed out the rubbish snipers.

It doesn't seem defensive at all? :confused:

A beta is a beta, it is somehow more limited than usual betas (since we only get to play one map/mode) but it's still a stage of the product development.

DICE has been working hard on the game for a long time and the current beta is not representative of the retail game. It is however essential for us to vote down all silly ideas that DICE might have about this game (like the Squad Management) and reporting bugs to make sure that they won't make it to the final release.

We don't even know how old the build we're using is.

It really isn't, as mentioned it looks like a torch, even in a pitch black tunnel it's like looking into the sun

Yeah, it's overdone. It helps me outcamp the snipers though.

SV98 <3

Just ask commander!, thanks to him two people got tk'd and a grenade went off

now theres a server for Caspian Boarder WTF how?

and now it's gone EA/DICE must have noticed

Camarilla · 1 Oct 2011 at 20:51

Pfft, screw scopes anyway. I just use the iron sights. Turns your SVD into an awesome battle rifle, same power as before, but no silly scope reflection and no bullet drop.

Unofficial servers have been springing up because the server files were leaked. DICE are claiming that playing them may get your Origin account banned (which will remove your access to all your games on it).
