If this happens in 2142 land I'll be the first to report it. As far as I know, locked squads and the such are not allowed on the server. Reg or not.

Locked squads aren't illegal in 2142.. and opinions on locked squads vary. But locked squads aren't really a problem.. don't want me in your squad? Your loss, I'll go join another one or start my own. It's being voted out of the game (L4D) or being asked to leave it just because you're not in the cool in-crowd that I'm talking about.

Really? I've seen admins tell people to unlock their squads to allow it to fill up and get some of the unsquaded people in there. If you're just making a squad for you and one other friend just so you don't get kicked for not squading up, then how are you helping the team?

Locked squads are allowed when the players are trying to get all their friends into the squad.

They aren't allowed when it is an attempt to circumvent the 'squad up' rule so that they can play by themselves or with 1 or 2 friends.

Regardless.. this is not a topic about 2142.

I have never had any problem with, in fact I actually support, 2 man squads that pilot the gunship to a commander's needs. They would be a waste of space in any other squad and having extra squad members in their squad would be worthless since their orders will never be appropriate for ground pounding.

On topic though, since these servers are only 4 (or 8) players at a time it will be difficult to police this. Please just be mindful of what you are doing on TTPs soil and how it reflects back upon the community. Try to encourage players to keep coming back rather than discarding them for your friend's sake.
