Squads - Everything known so far

[r8edtripx]

Squads definitely has potential. I have a few friends that started getting into COD with Black Ops 1, and they decided to skip on MW3 when they found out there wasn't a combat training mode. (They weren't quite good enough at the time to play online without getting massacred.) They've been loving Black Ops 2, as have I, and now they're pumped for Ghosts.

Of course, now they're good enough to do well online, but we're still excited to check out Squads.  We're already talking smack about who's squad is going to beat whose.

One thing you forgot to mention is how the player gets to chose the map and game mode their squad will defend on when challenged. This way a player can create a squad specific to one game mode and map and not have to worry if they perform well on all game modes and maps all the time.

The offline players squad chooses the map and mode and if they are sucessful in winning that squad earns xp.

So is there any word on whether or not there will be two separate w/l ratios?

My understand was that if your squad "lost" while you were offline, you just don't get any XP. It would be unfair to give you a loss as well. I also thought I read that you don't get a win either if your squad wins--just the XP.

I can't remember what source I heard that from, so take with a grain of salt.

Ok Candice just got back to me so this is now confirmed

win/loss is SEPERATE the only thing thats shared is xp and squad points.  panic over

Winning~!!!!!!

And if your squad wins while you're offline it counts as a win but if they lose then it doesn't count.

So now the question, How good will your squad be? Is it based around your Overall KD?
