-- A detailed look at Squad refinements

A detailed look at Squad refinements

Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.

First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.

For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.

After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join. ]]> 614@http://www.rtf-squad.net Battlefield 3 PC patch coming tonight, fix list released 2011-11-22T18:12:48-05:00 http://www.rtf-squad.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=204#613 Call of Duty Elite for PC Indefinitely Delayed?



An entry spotted on the official Call of Duty: Elite Twitter page has caused some concern for PC gamers, as Activision indicated that the online multiplayer service for Modern Warfare 3 may or may not actually become available for the PC after all.

"We are working towards a universal Elite experience but we cannot guarantee if or when a version will be available for the PC," the Twitter post reads.

Later Activision backtracked and updated the Elite Twitter page with another entry, stating that it misspoke in its earlier tweet. "Our goal has always been to provide a free PC offering for Elite. Stay tuned for an update as timing is still being determined."

Following in the footsteps of Battle.net and Bungie.net, Activision's Call of Duty: Elite is an online service created by Beachhead Studios for Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 that offers both free and subscription-based services. Elite provides lifetime statistics across both (and future) games, social-networking options, and for Premium subscribers, downloadable content, virtual and physical prizes, Elite TV and more.

But Activision's new Call of Duty network has suffered technical issues ever since the launch of Modern Warfare 3. According to the company, a "greater than expected demand" has impaired the service since the game hit store shelves.

"We are still working very hard to increase the number of users who can access the service simultaneously, and over the next few days, we will be working to increase the functionality of groups and clans in the Connect section," Activision said on Monday. "We've made good progress, but we realize there's still hard work to be done so that every player can access Call of Duty Elite whenever they want."

Sounds like Activision is putting console support first.
