Third Partying

So, this game is loads of fun. I think. But, what is the absolute stupidest thing ever is third partying. What I would really like is once my squad downs 2 or more of another squad, and that squad i...

@PurisMarts Okay then lets just cap the max health and max shields to 25. Cause that is what you get when you revive someone. Whether or not you expect a third party has nothing to do with fighting your way out. I always revive before looting, my squad may not do that. But as I said before, third partying requires zero skill whatsoever.

All they need to do is decrease revive time to like 1 sec or 1.5 secs. AND/OR give shield and health by default (like gold back pack does now) and then make gold back pack give full health and full shields. I just don't understand how you think third partying is okay. Unless you are the one doing it. You literally can get 10 kills with doing 250 damage. Zero. Skill. Required.

    @SolitaryMassacre #1 I don't think too highly of skill. Intelligent play is typically what wins games while skill just makes it easier.

    #2 People probably have less interest in defending Third partying than looking down on unaware players. The best teams I've been a part of often notices an ambush coming and either turns the tables on them or runs away. Its hard to have sympathy for teams that can't competently defend themselves.

    #3 While I feel that the risk of an ambush adds a fun challenge to the game I'm fine with trying to get rid of it. Problem is that I find half of my fights by chasing gun shots. You can't suggest decreasing the range that gun shots are heard without giving players another way to find fights. There's already too little fighting for some players so making it tougher to find the next fight wouldn't be appealing.

      @heme725 Okay, fair points. Then, when an ambush happens, how is it possible to turn the tables when one squad mate is alive, the others are either dead or need to be revived? Second, running away is impossible because you leave your mates behind - not really good for a "squad based" game.

      Say you revive your downed members, great, we got 25 health. A SINGLE SHOT FROM ALMOST ANY GUN WILL DROP YOU AGAIN. Next to impossible to turn the tables or run away.

      If decreasing gun shot distance isn't feasible, then lets decrease the time to revive someone to like 1 second, and give them half shields(if equipped) and full health. Or just full health. Then at least running away IS possible.

      Third partying is the WHOLE reason people want solo/duo play. Its so pathetic to thing a 1v3 fight is "fun."
