I agree with you. Even though the mod wasn't that great in the earlier releases the players were. When I started playing (probably 0.2 or something like that) you could join any server, and almost any squad on that server and you would have people using voip. Everyone wanted teamwork, and it was just awesome.MadTommy wrote:Ironically when the community was smaller i.e before 0.4 and the Brits came, the game was not as good but played so much better...and i put this purely down to the community. The DEVs have done a great job in keeping the focus on teamplay. But as the game gets better, getting more and more addons, we get more people who have no interest in the idea behind PR and just want BF2 with cool stuff.
I'd be happy with 5 minute spawn times if it helped get the general public servers playing teamwork like they used to prior to 0.4
(i'm not saying Teamwork no longer happens, it's just normally now one or two good squads with 3 or 4 squads being worse than useless and acting like headless chickens running around the map.)
Right now, I'd say 70% of the players are not looking for teamwork, I'll be surprised if I join a random squad (not called teamwork/voip or something like that, just a normal squad) and I hear people using the voip.
1min spawn times. Yes please. More seconds added to the timer everytime you die, yes please. (yeah I know the devs already said no). I don't really care if I have to sit there for 15 seconds more if that will lead to a better gaming experience.
And I can honestly say that it's been a pretty damn long time since I joined a server alone. I always go with other people who are in TS with me, because that is the only way I know that I am going to be in a squad that sticks together and follows orders.
