since exp for 1 kill solo == exp for 1 kill in a squad.

how can it be worse in any way?

But it isn't, not any more. It used to be like that in beta, but now exp is divided amongst a squad.

For example, killing a MAX enemy would get you 250 exp.

In a squad, the exp is multiplied by 20% then divided, so for example in a 10-man squad:

(250x120%)/10 = 300/10=30 exp.

Now, they say this is because a squad can kill a lot faster than a single player, which is true in some ways. But if you're in a squad with several non-assault chars (engineer/medic/transport driver) and those who are assault are very bad at killing things except for you, you get a lot less exp than if you were solo. But if you're in a good group, they kill a lot and you rack up the same if not more exp.

good that they got rid of that.

now maybe there is a point to stay away from the spastics instead of being "forced" into their squads :x

Only have the one character and after a time of playing around with specs i have found what i am good at and now getting used to when to stand and fight and when to back off.

Love getting into good position and sniping a few enemys while they hack doors or move into positions.

Basically it is a lot of fun.

You do have to enter cc info, I'm afraid.
