The idea of having people divisions in the outfit/platoons works wonderful on paper great idea, but from my experience they don't work well. Now remember i'm not bashing anyone's ideas or anyone i'm just making a comment. I am not trying to raise hell in the outfit.
Take the Air Squad for example, the times that I've been in it or been in the platoon with it I see people just waiting around for their Mosquito or Liberator cool downs or standing somewhere way back in our territory with an AA Max not really accomplishing anything. The times I was in Air Squad if I didn't have a vehicle and saw no good reason to pull my Max suit I was on the ground shoulder to shoulder with the other squads taking out objectives and targets with like 8 AA Mosquitoes hovering over head just chillen'.
The armor squad if we have one I haven't seen it I think we just pull armor when it seem necessary to either save our own skin or get around quicker.
The Spec Ops squad, which I guess has either been put on the back burner or been turned into the future 101st airborne squad, like I said great Idea on paper, it just doesn't work well in the Planetside 2 environment. Though i'm supposed to be hush hush about the Spec Ops squad. These squads pull member and resources from the main platoon and thins out our soldiers from what seems to be a limited number of regulars I see.
I know it seems like I harshed on the Air Squad the hardest but its the squad that I know most about and have been apart of.
I think if have any kind of special squad or division it should be the Get Whatever the Fuck Needs to Be Done squad, the name can be hashed out later, full of good players, not trying to weed people out or ostracize anyone, who generally know what the fuck they are doing, give a shit at least 50% of the time, know what needs to be done, and aren't assholes about it. This squad wouldn't really be any kind of special attachment to our regular platoon or some lone wolf squad that just gets rolled over by any enemy force. It doesn't even have to be in a separate squad in the platoon nor should it be restricted to just armor, air, foot soldier or anything in between. I also don't think their should be any kind of a recruitment or any kind of special identification of any seriousness. Remember you aren't super elite xX1337kILLer420sm0keW33DeRRyd4yXx kid we all hate you are the normal dude who generally gets shit done.
We would stick together, kill the enemy, revive the fallen, siege the castle, overcome any obstacle, face roll over enemy squads, fuck shit up, get stuff done, and just generally be a prick in the side and a pain in the ass of the enemy.
Ill lay out some guide lines just so you, the viewer, can get an idea of what I mean.
1. Get gun, ammo, vehicles, and make sure your safety is off.
2. Look at map and decide what region is the shit storm in now.
3. After shit storm acquisition proceed to shit storm in a calm and neat fashion along with your fellow platoon mates. Remember stick together.
4. Upon arriving at shit storm look at what needs to be done.
5. After acquiring what needs to be done get it done and don't be a pussy pussy bitch about it.
6. Get it done
7. Feels good man about getting it done and saving the day congrats you are the gold metal champion. Way to be soldier.
8. Don't be a dick.
9. ? ? ?
10. Profit!
I will ask we keep the comments constructive and not just off the wall crazy shit because you felt singled out or some other tin-foil hattery. If I feel a post is not helpful I will ask it to be reviewed and dealt with.
Any questions?
