See the round start RO line rush, you often see Charlie and Delta fill the line 2 way faster than Alpha and Bravo fill line 1. I suppose it's because more regulars play Charlie and Delta (it's known) and they started playing before the attachment vendor stock increase so they have the habit of rushing to RO line to get the limited attachments.

One day, Alpha and Bravo will get the respect they deserve, and people will stop whining about being RNGed into said squads when they really wanted Charlie or Delta.

Until then, I guess I'm stuck with RNG forcing me into said squads and having to try my best to make them not poopy

Still, believe Delta is one of the better squads to play with.

Though as of recent I've been having some great rounds with Bravo.

I mostly play Alpha, it used to be Charlie, but then I had a round where Alpha carried the game. And there was a lot of references to Warhammer 40k (lots of "FOR THE EMPEROR" "PURGE THE UNCLEAN" that kinda stuff.) Also, the CO always sends Alpha into the meat grinder first, so that's always fun.

For me all squads are the same, really(exclude Delta, this is the worst squad for SOs in my opinion).

I say Delta squad because their continued perseverance to show up and die makes the rest of look so much better by comparison.

I rush to the RO line because fuck waiting for 8 other ungas to overload a potentially new CT with their three number 9s, two 6 large etc. for 20 minutes until I can order my 5 attachments as PFC.
Being out of the RO line early also means I get to have breakfast and sit in the briefing area before orders are being handed out.

Of course being fast also much increases the chances of BCs actually being available still.

The Squad which actually shows up and can attain objectives.

Seriously. That's all I fuckin' ask for.

All squads are awesome in their own ways, and so are the people that make up those squads. Without em’, we wouldn’t be able to make jokes all day long about one another and debate which squad is best squad.

But with that said, Charlie squad, Best squad.

Alpha went into a path it won't come back at least not in the near future, we all know it's the worst squad to go with. But in a general sense, I despise any marine that shows cowardice in any of it's forms (and cowards are scattered in the 4 squads)

It honestly depends on what role you have them in. If it's FOB duty, I'd trust Bravo to get it done, but all my experiences with Bravo out in the field in combat can be summed up as "get put into crit, scream for help, have every Bravo ignore me," so I tend not to stick close to them if I'm not part of their squad and there's nobody in other squads around.

Charlie's competent in just about any role from what I've seen and often end up doing pretty damn well. If I'm not in Delta, it's probably because something made me transfer out to Charlie or something.

Delta's the wildcard for the Marines. They can go from strict adherence to orders to ignoring everything said by every officer and from brutal killing machines to corpses to feed the xeno horde within a single OP, but if you have an SO able to trigger their mob mentality they basically crash against the aliens like a tsunami regardless of which side of the spectrum they're on... And when this happens, they often drag along random people from other squads too. You also should never put Delta on FOB duty and expect anything other than the most half-assed fortifications possible.

One thing to note is that while Delta and Charlie are the squads I consider the best, they're also the ones most likely to blow up Req accidentally.

I've only interacted with Alpha very rarely, but the few times I did they seemed to be praising Communism and other shit.

Delta is the most amusing to be SO for.

Then again, it's rarely among the easiest.
