Why no 3 man team mode?

[Felky]

I only have 2 friends, we don't want to play squad mode..

It was the same thing in For Honor, why do devs hate people who only want to play 3-players games?

But there is

What about people of 4, or 6 or 12. No, Dous and fives work the best. Quit complaining or just get more friends.

[Felky]

Nah, it's only Solo, Duo, Squad.

Squads is completely playable with three people, for every queue option you have you make each queue take longer, because it splits the playerbase up. The game doesn't need a seperate queue for 3s right now.

Then play one of those. Kick a friend out and play dous, or get 2 more and play squad.

I've been playing Squads with 3 people and 4 people, it's still completely playable with 3.

My question is what do devs have against 3 Man Teams in general btw; I'm not trying to find a solution or something it's clearly NOT in the game so I'm wondering that's all.

Jesus christ... when you squad up with 2 other ppl, you are a 3-man squad. Simple as that.

As said before, more modes would make any queue longer.

So if we create a group of 3 people and queue up everyone else will be 3 player and the whole game will be 3v3v3v3 ?

Let's just havbe a 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, and 8s party queues. Im sure the playerbase wouldn't be hurting at all.

Why are people acting like this? Nosolee is asking a completely reasonable question.

I guess they should only have 4v4 then? Not to mention that they just split the community from 3 groups to 6 so going to 8 shouldn't be any problem at all. Lastly the playerbase for pubg is enormous, they could easily do all those that you suggest in both 3rd and fpp and have more then enough players for all.

I queue squads as a duo even all the time. Having one less person isn't a disadvantage, its actually helpful. You have less people to gear meaning each of you will be better geared much earlier, you only need 3 solid scopes over 4, 25% less meds, ammo and boosts, less weapons etc. It can actually be significantly beneficial to be a smaller group. It ONLY becomes an issue late game when only one other squad is against you and they're still a full team. Though even in that case, so long as you attack undetected you can still beat the others just fine.

Additionally to what Nokami said, there obviously are priorities. Squads of 3 can play together, end of that. But FPP ONLY was requested far more heavily and thus it makes more sense to introduce that as a new queue over 3/4 mans.

Also, most competetive games either are 1vs1, 2v2 or 5v5. Potentially eveb 6v6. 3 is a rather odd number for that matter. Though 3 mans luckily aren't completely let down as you can queue up for squads and I believe you can also autofill your squad so you dont feel like having a disadvantage.

[Messy]

you can have a 3 man squad. we do it all the time.
