Imagine a 64 player server and 9 players on your team get the glorious idea to lock their squad.
That would mean that 22 players are doomed to play as lone wolves without any communication and help from the commander.

That's an extreme example, of course. Most of the time one or two locked squads won't be a problem, but there is a chance that this can get annoying.

It is an extreme example -- and one, honestly, that I have never even seen become a problem.

It is especially horrible with the bug that only allows one squad.

Making a new "ROE" because of a bug would be fucking stupid. Fix the bug.

WTF? Why did they put the option in the game if it isn't allowed to lock, 1 man squad, 2 men squad, it's quite the same.

This is what it really comes down to. Unless they are willing to really have the "police force" out in action*, there's no real way to enforce these rules in any manner. I mean, at least with stat padding you can see the server submitted results -- with "one-man-locking" what do you get? A picture? Gosh, how hard is it to photoshop that together -- I mean, I personally have access to every UI element in the game and could reconstruct such a scene in 60 minutes.

If they want to make this a game play rule IT SHOULD BE CODED.

* The whole concept of having policing squads out there with the game not able to support spectators is entirely ridiculous right off the bat.

they cant ban soloing , today i was at a LAN center my friend is on the computer next to me i am the pilot i say heli in front and set him up (i have already told him i would set him up for tv shots and to use the tv's on the vehicles) so he says "where" and starts gunning at the ground, thats right he looks for a helicopter on the ground, i say just switch to tv, he says he doesnt know where the helicopter is, i say look on if you switch to tv it will be right in front of you, he continues shooting at the ground and then we get tv'd, we need people like him to stay out of choppers, i could do much better soloing, i even did better soloing in the blackhawk on the new map.

I think they should just patch it so you cannot lock the squad until you have another member it it.

You know I would kind of agree untill last night 4 utter morons joined my squad, when they spwaned they just go up and left, either straight into a tank/other...I would spot the tank type to them spwan anti tank...no sure we will spwan Medic or Sniper...wtf why would you want us to spwan Anti Tank... then they start bitchin via VOIP omg I hate tanks/ spwan campers/bla bla bla.....

Laugh about it now but in two weeks there will be 20 regular posters on this site posting screenshots and raging about all the locked one man squads that are ruining BF2.

I think solo chopper is part of the game. It's a useful technique that any decent helicopter pilot should master. Why is it suddently a problem ?
I have a question :
does banning solo chopper also apply to solo bomber ? because I like flying it and use the gunner's missiles solo.

MAYBE they should stop worrying about locked squads and make a PLA city map instead. Assholes.

So you could insert a simple IF-statement or employ dozens of professional resetters and get a whole online gaming community on a witch hunt.
I guess BF2 is living proof to evolution theory... it was not coded by programmers (who could easily implement an IF-statement) but got carried together by pure coincidence. The miracle of life is AWESOME!

I think there will be too many reasons why this won't fly.

What if I have a 2 person locked squad and my friend gets dc'ed for whatever reason ... suddenly I am in a one man locked squad.

What if people in your locked squad get fed up and leave your squad ... you may not know right away so your in a one man locked squad.

etc, etc

Why do people associate this w/ soloing? Just don't create a squad and lock it, simple as that.

I run one-manned locked squad while soloing so I can ask for supply drops if I don't want to head back to the carrier and such. But, won't bother me if it starts getting enforced.

EA are a bunch of faggots anyways.

Not true. Some dickhead admin will see they've included it in the ROE and use it to ban people, as well as going off on a tangent and creating their own rules pertaining to said ROE rule and use it as their justification to be dickheads, which they'll always be.
