Does everyone play by this same unwritten rule we play by?
If our team has enough money between us/each then we buy someone back who has died over all other purchases.
I challenged it the other day in a quads game when one person on the team had died and lost gulag, it was near the start of a game before the first loadout drop and we had 10k and were about to face another team.
We could have either bought friend back and gone 4v4, us with crap weapons them having just bought their loadout or us 3 with good weapons vs 4 with good weapons. We bought teammate back.
I said in real life, the commander wouldnt sacrifice an entire squad for one person, I was shot down as "It's not real life, it's a game and you can buy someone back" Anyway, we all lost against the team who had their loadout.
Future games I said in that situation it would be better to get loadout over buying me back, then fighting chance of taking on the other team and collecting money to buy me back after. Still didnt go down well
