I searched and consulted the list of previous suggestions, and didn't find anything. Also, feel free to flame me as this idea is from another game.

If anyone's played Enemy Territory, they've seen the fireteam idea in action. It essentially divides larger teams into smaller, independent groups of 2-5. There is a seperate chat that only members of your fireteam can see. Also, perhaps the name indicators could be a different color, to make it easier to find your team.

This idea would primarily be used in large, tactical games. I think it could be useful in some of the more social servers also. Those who are looking for more teamwork can form a fireteam together, and work more cohesively as a small three man team, as opposed to three men in a 8 person team.

ummmmm. so would the fireteam only be able to select from a weapon set or is it just teamchat with not as many people.

It's essentially teamchat with not as many people, and members of the fireteam are highlighted a different color on the screen, possibly having an icon above their head.

I don't know.
I play ET and I understand what you're trying to say.
I don't find this idea useful for some reason...

Um..so youre saying little teams in teams?

i think thats what he ment.

i really dont think this would do anything to improve soldat. please correct me if im wrong but it sounds kind of dumb.

I think it would be....alittle cool....you would select a fireteam from start(under the red or blue teams)pick weapon, and then tiny arrows would show you the direction where the rest of your squad is...It would make soldat alittle more tactical...

We could easily make little teams, just not alot of people do that.

Most servers don't support enough people to make fireteams successful, and I think teamwork will be unaffected by fireteams~

Depends who your playing with....
