Yeah, I totally like how BF3 is setup like that. We *CAN* be more effective working together like that. I don't have a problem being the sniper/recon player. You will be able to count on me setting up the enemy sensors and guarding an exit/entry way. That means though that I will not be able to bring anyone back to life or distribute ammo packs. That's ok because I'm still being effective and enjoy that role, though I'm sure running and gunning would be preferred. I've grown used to having to play sniper to help cut down on the enemy snipers on the other team so far... but I cannot be effective if I have assault enemies sneaking up on me. So.. there's a job for everyone.
Also, we probably need to get our specializations setup for the squad that would benefit the group as a whole. I was using sprint for normal maps.. ammo for some.. and then the flak for when I use a shotgun.
I'll be happy to play Friday but it will have to be after 9ish to 10ish but I should be able to play until about 2 A.M.
