All of this talk about squads by those that are in what they call a squad points out one thing....me, me, me. It seems it's all about the individual. The association with a "squad" to some it seems is just being associated with like-minded individuals...with the like-mindedness being me, me, me.
What's the point of a squad if it's not to help each other out...to work as a team? Fighting each other servers the purpose of bettering one another. But to what end? What will those skills be used for?
For many who post here about squads and squad mentality, you really only are seeing it from your perspective of what a "squad" is. To you it's not a team, it's just a group of people under the same name. For others it is a team that likes to work together toward a common shared goal.
