I'd honestly suggest we replace the time waiting penalty that happens when players drop with a forced 'solo only for X games/time'. The number of times people solo drop before the jumpmaster even leaves the ship or split BADLY from the jumpmaster to a completely different area, only to die and quit is beyond stupid. So I would suggest that those people that want to be lone wolves have the ability to queue as such AND if they queue in the normal squad mode but drop before they get killboxed and time out they are forced so play solo, so they will automatically be kicked from the game as soon as they are dropped (which is what they are doing ANYWAY, but now they screw 2 other people in the process). I'd also suggest adding a new option to the reporting menu, a 'cowboy' report. If over 50% of the people you team up with report you as a cowboy then you are forced to play solos only for a time. By cowboy, I mean those people that actually land with the jumpmaster but then immediately start running towards the other side of the map w/out communicating their intentions and don't even stop to come back if the rest of the team comes under fire. Those people aren't playing a team game anyway, so why are you allowing them to completely and utterly ruin the rest of the team's match? They are obviously treating this game like a single player game, so let them queue up as such and FORCE them to queue up as such if they keep queuing for squad play and shafting their squads by playing like they're alone.
