USCM Special Unit

[getfreur]

I was thinking if the USCM have a special squad like the SEAL or the GRUMEC, any thoughts?

[Dolth]

Yeah, Fire squad.

[alekfenrir]

Whatever the current iteration of MARSOC would be for them.

[Renomaki]

the CO could make his own spec-ops squad if he wanted to.

The question is, who could he trust, let alone convince? Players are very difficult to control, and giving them high-ranking positions often doesn't go well.

Maybe one day I'll give it a shot, but I doubt it would work.

[Marcus Jackson]

Perhaps have something like a whitelisted all Spec-ranked unit under the CO? Or at the very least take wounded marines who were doing their jobs admirably and slap some advanced gear on them before you send them back to the grinder hoping their corpses will make a big enough wall to stem the xeno tide.

The best I could think of is a sort of admin only response team that consisted of the USCM special forces.

In terms of equipment I would say their armor should be slightly more enclosed looking than the standard armor, they get a full face, or partial, covering on their helmet and their M41As start with a integrated silencer.

[Dolth]

Even better.

Whitelist some robust people only, make some lore and background behind each of the characters AND the squad story.
Use the whitelist as reinforcement for either events or backup.

Enjoy.

would not be best if the RO could call a new type of armor and weapon supplys? like equipment that look like the armor and weapons from WO, but the cost in point would be something like 60 or 70, that way if the commander ask for the RO 1 crate of USCM special forces armor, 1 crate of USCM special forces weapons and a special forces crate he would have resources for like 4 soldiers and would waste with that 180 or 200 points.

Sounds really nice too. Like, a really nice idea.

[Blade2000Br]

Special forces seems neat. I would like this to be implemented or added.

[Bronimin]

We already have ERT.

[Nubs]

The majority of marines ARE a 'special force' if you get what i mean.

I was thinking it, you just beat me to the punch.

Oh boy, I could see the marines begging for it literally every single round, leading to MP arrests left, right and centre.
"not deploying without spec force armour, killomatic rifle, and barrel charger, get fucked RO"

[Obscurify]

specialists are basically the special ops of the USCM
besides that, force recon would be cool but i doubt it could be properly implemented/put in effect. maybe a fireteam of marines sent down to the planet before every deployment. idk

[darkwahn]

I want to be a tacticool operator in CM, pls add.

[Swagile]

Honestly, a ERT on the level of Death Squad that isn't there to kill everything as a "LAST RESORT" button to liven up the match if marines have been doing well would be neat.

Otherwise, no.

[getfreur]

hmmm maybe a new squad that is customisable by the CO, a black squad or something like that.

[notasyndie]

I would love if we had a Ghost ERT from cod ghosts I think that would be pretty cool

[Doktor710]

BSO - Baldies Spec-Ops

[Dolth]

Jokes aside, I'd vouch for a whitelisted playerlist being part of those snowflakes squad. It'd be a way of crossing marines RP-backgrounds, whitelist, bit of robustness and ERT. Just -another- kind of ERT.

I would love this tbh. Something I would apply for and feel badass for once in my life

[OatzAndHoes]

Please no, last thing we need is a snowflake squad so kiddies can say their characters have 300 confirmed kills.

[Bronimin]

If you want a metabuddy squad of robust marines then all go Delta PFC and rambo off together, no one will notice a difference. Grab a station-bounced to listen to the general comms and tunr your headset to a private frequency (your new squad frequency) and go nuts.

[solidfury7]

This would become a meme squad or popularity contest as much as I'd like it.

I would enjoy a ERT whitelisted (or at least an ERT leader whitelisted ) so they'd have a competent leader guiding them with RP. Rather than a silent baldie who just pew pews
