GRRR Squad Forum

ok, this isnt really a rant so much as a request for understanding when i raise my voice in a clannie to my squaddies:

i would like to try a squad movement, which i started thinking about this last few weeks when playing medic.
Normally as an engineer i ruch forward and die way too many times trying to get closer the the enemas and taking them out.
NOW as medic, i would like my squad to work n a diamond formation, with me as medic on the back corner so that i can reach ANY of the other three within a few seconds. it doesnt have to be a perfect diamond, but we HAVE to be close. i also think that if there is a second medic, they should be on the other back corner (IE - the medics must be further away from the action) I dont seem to be able to kill as many peeps as medic, but i sure as hel would like to keep the rest of you alive.

so with lee's permision, i would like to be a "vice" squad leader in that i will be trying to keep the squad i am in in formation.

please feel free to comment

I agree 100% I would also like to try this! thanks Fly

I don't think we need a diamond formation or any other formation. I have only played in 1 BC2 clannie and as long as the squad sticks together and we are all medic then it is pretty invincible against troops.

We just need to figure out a way to deal with armour

i disagree Paul, we NEED some sort of formation. i KNOW it doesnt HAVE to be diamond, but if we DONT call it a formation, then i think the tendancy will be to not even stick together. the reason i call diamond, is because then we have a "front" of three, backed up by a dedicated medic at the back, and the three up front also have the ability to shoot at enemas from different angles.

Diamond, square, rectangle... whateva ya wanna call it sounds good. I think having a "formation" is a good idea for the simple fact that we will not be all bunched up together and get taken out so easily in one go.

The idea works on a flat barren surface but not on 3D playing field with obstacles. From playing games for 3-4 years everyone should have an idea of how far they should be from their squad. Yes there should be a medic somewhere near the back. If there are people who want to ACTIVELY work on their squad play then I will join and contribute but I have experienced a lot of frustration with previous efforts. I definitely disagree with a fixed squad format. Squad size varies and playing field dynamics varies.
