I don't see any problem with members running smaller locked squads of their pals as long as it isn't an every time occurrence. Most of the time that I'm in game I'm in the squad lead position. Usually I lead squads that I lock invite 1 or 2 people and then unlock it for anyone else who is spamming the join button, but there are those times that I know I can't deal with a squad full of people I don't know. It's those times that you'll see me run small vehicle squads, or 3 or 4 man locked squads with the guys that I've been playing with here for over a year and half now. People need to learn to not take everything as a personal insult to themselves.

We have all been on the outside of those close nit groups at one point or another, and we worked our way into them. Keyword is in that sentence is worked. Asking for an invite every time you see a locked squad isn't working, its asking for a free pass. Playing the game, and helping your team with revives, and supply points, playing well, those are working towards getting invites more often. You need to show people what you have to offer before you get a shot.

So my advice to you, Sluggo and anyone else who shares the same feelings, is to step up and lead a squad of your own. To join squads when they are open and use that time to show people that you are a team player, that you can get that revive that someone else would've missed, that you can guarantee that your squad will always have ammo. Asking for squad invites over and over again does nothing but make you sound like a little kid who's desperate to play with the big boys. You can't expect to get a free pass in everything you do.
