Squad/Group system

[ivan2294 0]

I remember a while back while screwing around in the editor that waypoints had a "Join up" and "Join up and lead" setting. When I tried it in the editor, my squad would literally join the other squad.

I was wondering if there was a way this could be implemented in Day Z, nameplates could be enable for squads only and it could probably help quite a bit in other situations. What if your squad could pick a squad skin so you could recognize them right off the bat? Things like that.

Thoughts?

I was just talking about something like this with a friend of mine. The idea I got was that you would point at someone else and send a "Group Join" request. he would accept or deny and that would add the asked person into the first person's group.

Another idea I got to make this mechanic work was to tie the humanity system into it. Say you join a group of people that are working together as bandits: everyone in the group would get a hit to their score when another group player killed someone. The opposite would be true: someone in the group kills a bandit and everyone else gets a smaller humanity boost. Or something like that.
