Joining the same army as a friend

Hello,

I'm new to GC but my friend and I have been playing battlefield 3 for a while and I've been playing battlefield games since 1942. I was wondering if there was any way of ensuring that both of us would get into the same army.

Thanks

Mention it on signup; we'll be sure you get to play together. :mrgreen:

Anyways, welcome!

We are not giving out passes in the open, fields, do we?

Fields... not sure you should just give out a password as well as just start assigning players to your team. That is the TAs job. They probably have some kind of system down.

We seem to hand the pass out all the time, and dark can feel free to give out their pass to him also. The whole pass system has been pretty ambiguous, so maybe we need some clarification? From what I understand, we're free to give them out.

To my understanding it was the TAs job so we don't over stack a team. We want it to be balanced and fair.

I should clarify the confusion.

I've only been giving out passwords to people who have RL friends already in PRIDe. I should mention that I haven't given the password out publicly on the forums and we should not be doing so. :lol:

In terms of balancing things, people who are not joining with a friend should not be given PWs to join an army.

I apologize for the unclarity on this. :oops:

Instead of giving out passwords why not just assign people to your army? If he wants to be in the other army then redirect him to the other gen or a TA.

Generals cannot do that .Sup, only admins or TAs. Right now they are one and the same, except for me.
