Squad Missions

[Jegedillo]

The fireteam missions are fun and I think they should be kept but adding a squad mission category would be awesome. Maybe have a bigger map that requires careful coordination between 3 fireteams.

+1: fireteam voice channel would be appreciated to coordinate between FT leaders

That would be really cool

While I agree to the degree that the game should expand towards a "squad" size element. You must realize that there is a lot of involvement in coordination, command and strategy, etc, to squad leading. My real life USMC squad leader's course books is over two and half inches thick, totaling seven course books.

A- Training
B- Troop Leading
C- Communication
D- Combat Hunter
E- Weapons and Munitions
F- Patrolling
G- Offense/Defense

...and that doesn't even go into all the basic stuff you would be expected to know beforehand.

So, yeah, a lot to it. If I start pulling stuff out of those books into this game, what level of expectation would I have on random players not knowing their backgrounds possibly understanding what I'm asking of them?

<.<

People playing this aren't really random, they came into this game knowlingly, if you even restrict the squad mode (or maybe even just FT/squad lead) to lvl X and above plus friends on your friendlist, then this should be good enough

If you ever feel the need to scratch the itch for an operationally realistic game I recommend trying out this game.

It's a strategy game and we're dealing with more than a squad but you might enjoy it as much as I have.

The way matchmaking is at this moment is pretty random. You have to just hope to find the right ones. Just played a match with a guy who was from Singapore... no joke.

"not random" as in "people playing this are in it for the tactical experience" not "they are not from somewhere in the world"

This is correct, but please know this isn't planned until much farther down the road.
