OK .....I am in the----"FIX THE F'ING BUGS FIRST" rather than F'ing up things that have become a part of the game - ---camp.

I haven't seen this issue mention on the Nerfing of Squad Hopping.

Joining a popular nearly full server, spawning and getting killed ...then realizing ...."Oh shit! better join a squad or I may get kicked for an admin or reserved slot"  (Many servers state up-front that they kick "lone wolves first"). Now because of the patch you select a squad...but you can't spawn on the SL because you are dead and have to spawn on a map point first.

Now you could be minutes into the game before you can join up with your squad and you have lost a bunch of time. This is actually making Squad play harder in this case.

For the life of me, I just can't see the problem with the banishment of squad hopping.

When I play BF, I join a squad at the start of a round - it has a squad leader, and other squad members.  All of these squad members have a job - the medic heals, the supply guy resupplies.  THE SQUAD LEADER STAYS OUT OF IT AND DIRECTS HIS TROOPS FROM HIS POSITION. 

If the squad leader is doing his job right, then surely it eliminates the need to exploit the squad system.  Surely if you're playing the squad hopping way, then you're not truly using teamwork?  Or perhaps the squad leader is a feckless retard who likes running in to cap flags for his own personal gain and to hell with true, genuine, teamwork?  It may not get you points, but it can feel satisfying - knowing that you've played the role properly.  And hell, it's not all about points is it?  It's about teamwork and having a laugh with your mates.

Is this not how God intended it?

Perhaps EA/DICE could've put a system in place where squad leaders got points if his squad cap the flag.  Then maybe, and only maybe, all these twats who can't be arsed to play squad leader properly, and are bitching and moaning, now may actually have been pleased.  Or at least have nothing to complain about.

removing this has destroyed the game.

Maps such as shongua, zatar etc are even more boring than they used to be, no longer can you help a squad capping a base, but you have to wait around for a car and then go.

FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
you mean the ones that if your commander isnt fucking off can drop you instantly right? dude stop whinning.

Heaven forbid to take a flag you may need to actually MOVE there with the squad...  What a bummer.

I guess letting another squad do all the work then joining them once you have failed at your weak attempt is popular?

Well do you really want to walk a full minute or so to get to your squad?

Remember people, pub players ususally don't give a crap about teamwork... Very few do.

I reckon vehicle drops were added to allow squads to almost continue doing what they were doing should they be killed, just grab the vehicle and go!

An exception is baseraping the carrier...........
