Do you guys want to have the game based heavily on teamwork or should it play a smaller part in the game? ---

Teamwork should define the game. Solo players out for personal gain should get the least amount of points/accolades as possible ---

Teamwork should be a primary core mechanic to a degree. It should be promoted and provide high scoring when achieved. e.g. Teamwork ribbons/medals/bonuses for stuff like soflam kills. ---

Thats where game balance comes in. Tanks should not have thermal optics. ---

Sadly there is a large group of casual players that do not understand the gravity of the necessity of teamwork. ---

Tanks should not have thermal optics. A lot of Teamwork based stuff here. Mainly PTFO mechanics though.

Anytime you have a game where gamers can play camping snipers, you have a game that doesn’t care about teamwork. ---

> [@Lordmang4](#): > > Anytime you have a game where gamers can play camping snipers, you have a game that doesn’t care about teamwork. Except 1942, vietnam. Didn’t need squad/team point boosting schemes or mechanics. Teamwork was a given and came naturally to the majority. ---

I think that’s more a consequence of the era of gamers (who were more teamwork-focused) than it was the games themselves. ---

No, DICE/EA are businesses that need to sell games to make money. Doing what you propose would put both companies out of business. DICE/EA’s approach (catering to the mass market of gamers) is the sound one. ---

This is hilarious! Lordmang4 I wish the world could be all sweet and nice and there ain’t any problems in the world and everyone wins but its just not real. If you want to win at Battlefield you will have to put the effort in. Catering to the mass market will lead to the downfall of humanity.
