I've recently started playing again, and noticed that most(in not all) servers have the option to form a squad. What are the advantages?

You spawn where the player that is closest to the intel is located after you die. So if you're in a squad of 4 players, and you're all close to the intel. If everyone except one player dies, everyone will respawn with him. Instead of way back in your spawn.

It's actually shit, and by using it you are contributing to the cancer that is killing AoS.

Why don't people actually make a squad.py that is only marking coordinates of your squadmates? You can do this with echo'ing on the chat box with some commands, eg
Sorta thing.
Code: Select all
<Deuce>/mates
<Server> Your mates are at:
CahirBuldr: A1
BigMac: F2
Snip4lyfe: H3Sorta thing.

The squads in that are purely organisational and don't ruin the game.

The best "squad-system" atm is the revive script imo.

I hate squads. They make getting enemies out of your spawn way too difficult and it's a cheap way of avoiding actual stealth tactics, teamwork, and needing skill.

I find it fun recording myself taking out a whole squad.

What are squads? One of the more horrible features of the game's servers which should be avoided at all costs.
