You see 8 players in a channel in TS - What do you think they are doing?

Playing 8 man premade matches? Hah, what a laugh!

Yes, you guessed it. They are synching drops hoping to exploit the matchmaking.

They had their unfair 8 man pug stomping taken from them, so they exploit their way back into it.

Plus the waiting increased, because now 2 teams have to finish their match before they can 'synch drops'.

The poor dears.

I think if the game offered options 3 or 4 from the poll then this would be solved.

And it currently looks like around 70% of respondants want option 3.

Just for clarification: is a premade a 4 man who know each other, or is it random guys on TeamSpeak? The reason I ask is for the last two days I have used the ComStar server and simply being able to voice commands allowed us to roll all over our unfortunate opponents.

Normally I pug and since I can't speak to my random team I'm unable to type help to them fast enough and still play. When I was with random guys and TeamSpeak I almost always won.

Sure: 'Premade' is everything except a pug. It's a premade group, hence the name 'premade'.

I'm fairly certain he means people like me, who play alongside a small group of friends who know each other.

Interesting. It's wrong, as you can see above, but why are you 'fairly certain' of your conclusion? What indication did I give that a premade is not just a group which is premade before a match begins? Just curious, since you were presumably 'fairly certain' for some reason.

ja. all my "premades" were just dudes i met in ts server that day. Never dropped with any of the people ive known over the years.
Still never lost a premade match.. probably got about 30 or so under my belt. . Only died a few times.. If you look at my stats you can see how askew those numbers really are.

Wow OP is seriously not happy about this. Ummm. Get better at working with your team? Make friends? Join a Unit?

This is exactly the attitude that will close this game down. Nobody who pugs is telling those of you that do premades to 'quit doing premades'. We are simply telling you that we don't want to be your cannon fodder, go do premades vs other premades...have at it. You are basically telling us that we have to play your way or ****. Guess what, many new players have chosen to **** and did so quickly after seeing the mess that is this OB.

Believe it or not, games need players to play them in order to succeed. It would seem to me that the playerbase is shrinking, not growing at this point. That's not good einstein.

I actually ran a few premades over the break, hadn't done any in a while and was tired of getting stomped. Joined a group in the morning/early afternoon that had some great guys in it. We lost the first one, didn't really communicate at all so we just got taken down one at a time like a normal pug. After that we won all our games though (probably 7 or 8 games) with little problems. We talked, called out targets and basically just rolled like normal premades do.

I took a break, went and did some errands and hooked back up with the worst group I've ever seen by far on TS. They were just brutal. No sense of teamwork or calling out targets and none of them could hit anything at all. We lost 4 in a row, it was hilarious to say the least.
