Yes I do talk to my squad mates. And I also stick to my squad mates and we function as a squad and therefore we are more effective as a squad. Is there some problem with teaching the new Battlefielders the ropes? Are they incapable of learning? “Hey Bro, seeing that you are part of my squad, could we work together? You are playing the Support class which can give teammates ammo. Could you throw me some ammo? Thanks mate!” Doubt that is so hard.
I don’t always have a medic or support in my squad , usually 3 recons . Maybe I should spend half of my time sitting in the menu screen searching for the most balanced squad and then hope I can join it , and then hope they are using a mic, then hope they speak English . Just so I can be a true team player like you . Or maybe I can just take it from a clueless randy that is bipoded up staring down a hallway . Yeah I’d rather do that .
This game is designed to play as a team. You can run solo but you will have much more fun if you get involved and join a clan or at least find a dedicated squad of friends to play with.
Ok thanks , Being a girl it is very hard chatting with strangers because sometimes people are really creepy to me . I’m not allowed to talk on mic anymore anyways
I promise you that it really is more rewarding to play with a squad of people that are from the clan you are in. And we just need to explain to the new guys and girls how Battlefield is played, a lot of them are coming from Call of Duty because they usually have this fixed ideal of how first person shooters are played. All the best! See you in the Battlefield!
Agreed sounds noob to the max and example when listening to player feedback goes to far. Because the people that are fine with it wouldn’t be as vocal as the minority that has a problem with it.
There should be option if you are near medic/support class for example 10 seconds and you ask for resupply, you get it. What’s more they should get minus points. Im bored of running after these people few minutes and spaming chat. Maybe indicator should be bigger. I don’t know what is wrong with players.
IMO- that was one of those things that you went “why wasn’t it always like that” and that i personally hoped would be in all future BF’s.
it works very well. i don’t understand why people are against it.. guess you’d rather sit there spamming “need medic”?
IIRC you only got a small bump in health anyway, the med kits they drop did much more..
most of the time; people drop them. in cases they don’t; it’s sure nice to grab it yourself. doesn’t take away any teamwork, you’re better off when they drop one when asked, but this way you can atleast get it yourself if they don’t.
Doesn’t take away teamwork? Reread what you just said. You taking health/ammo from another player absolutely takes away from the teamwork aspect because you aren’t relying on that other player to play his role properly (in the teamwork aspect).
if he’s a good teammate; he can drop one.
if he’s not; you can get one yourself. it’s nice not get screwed by your medics stupidity. IMO anyway.
takes away frustration, more than teamwork.
just cause i can’t grab one, doesn’t mean my medic will drop one.
trust me, it’s a nice backup for random-ers. if you always play with friends/a good squad yeah it’s moot (or you like them dropping it, as it gives you an advantage)
*would i rather everyone drop one? yes. but i know that doesn’t happen. especially with the likely influx of newcomers/COD players BF1 will attract.
The only way I would support this being put into the game is if the person who has to have their health/ammo taken from them because they aren’t playing their class properly is if they lose points every single time, putting them at the bottom of the scoreboard. We know that won’t happen, so the logical explanation would be to increase teamwprk/squad points astronomically to influence team play as much as possible.
Make lonewolf players who want to lonewolf irrelevant on the scoreboard. Just like the back of the map camping snipers were when the marksman bonus was nerfed drastically.
You haven’t played hardline , you should try it and see if it’s a problem . It’s only 5 dollars now on psn . I believe once you see the feature in game you will change your mind .
Why would someone play support/medic and NOT have ammo/health in their loadout? Its ridiculous.
Im support, have almost 8,000 resupplies, and make sure to toss an ammo bag EVERY SINGLE TIME I see the little flashing symbol above their head.
The problem here are the asshats that are just too oblivious to drop whatever helps the team when someone demands it. There is no excuse for this.
I would definitely be in favor of medics/supports losing points everytime someone asks for health/ammo and they dont drop it.
There is absolutely no reason for such an obvious disregard for the rest of the team.
Like someone said above; Let teammates take it if after a specified time of asking and not receiving, and dock points from the offender.
The ones not participating in teamwork aren’t the ones asking, its the ones ignoring.
