Re: Teaming=cheating?

@hirteIen My honest opinion, it's not really cheating. The final 10 players will be on the same team anyways. Sure it would be annoying coming across a hostile team in shadowfall; getting killed by a team. But from my gameplay yesterday, I only found teams as a shadow.

The thing about teaming, is that shadows can see you guys more easily. I personally don't see anything wrong with people teaming. It's like the walking dead, you do what you can to survive.

In theory, you are cheating by having a teammate, but that doesn't mean you cannot be striked down. Players would focus on the shadow in front of them, and often would be blindsided to another coming up from behind. If everyone is alive, the scenario would be that you stay low and attack when you can. You could shoot at one of their backs, causing mistrust. Although they could be in a call if they manage to join the same game. Still, it's not like solo where there can only be one winner. Shadowfall allows 10 people to escape if they get lucky.

If Respawn says it's cheating, then I can respect that. Otherwise, I don't see an issue.

    @Midnight9746 But that is the question, is it cheating? The first part of the game should be solo as it don't let us queue as a team. On the other hand i'm in full support of teaming in all kind of BR games. If only one can win at some point you have to betray your "team mate" and if they are randoms you never know when they try to shoot you in the back.
  • @hirteIen Considering you are meant to be solo until the final phase, I guess you can consider it cheating but it does not seem like any action is being taken for this issue.

    I myself seen players teaming and even saw 7 Pathfinders teaming while there was still 15 players alive.

    Yup...That was the biggest problem with solo's... friends teaming up...played 5 matches last night...that was enough for me...every match had guys/gals/friends teaming up and destroying everyone 'til final 10

  • @jumanjaydazed Just experienced it for the first time, and encountered 3 different teams working together before the final 10.

    But the shadows were relentless and we dispatched em all and won, it felt good.
