group or team in game???

[Bundybear]

What is the point in having teams or groups in game??? We most of the time spawn away from each other ( opposites end of the map ) Have different exit points and can't really tell if were are a team or enemy player. I don't see the point in teams/groups

This only happens when you go in as a scav. PMCs always spawn together

NO we had a game as PMC and we get different spawns and exits?????

I think you may be confusing the background faction of your PMC as a 'team' he is part of. This is not the case. Being BEAR or USEC is mostly for lore reasons, because as it stands every PMC is now on their own and isn't forced to team up.

In the future there will be a Karma system that will give you some drawbacks to killing others, be them your former team mates or your former enemies (depending on several other factors) but at the end of the day if you want to kill everyone you are free to do so.

A 'Team' will always have to form up before the raid in the lobby screen and will always load in together at the same spawn.

If you have vastly different load times in your group, the possibility is there to spawn in different locations from one another. This has not happened to me very often, but I have experienced it. This may also cause you to have different exfil points. 

As for telling if you are a team or enemy player, this is where communication is key. You have to constantly talk with your team and relay your position to ensure friendly fire is kept to a minimum. You may always want to all wear the same colour armband, which are purchasable from Ragman LL1. You can buy White, Red, Blue, Green and Yellow.

Hope this helps!
