How <i>exactly</i> does it work? I've generally avoided it (in CO) because I was unsure if it slowly increased your ammo over time, or if walking into a fellow marine gave them a small ammo boost or if you could drop ammo packs (no clue how to do that either, if thats the case. ;)) for yourself/marines. I did a quick search and it popped up several topics, pciking 'em randomly seemed to just be commenting on things like when you should go for it, rather than how it works and how to use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA. :)

Guess that means it'll be <i>another</i> thing to get before I buy a shotty. :o
Generally what I do is use my LMG ammo until I run out completely, then I get a shotty, which means I no longer need LMG ammo. Then I get resupply <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
There's also supposed to be a Pick up Equipment waypoint, but it's fairly elusive without plugins...
Any way to select them all at once, even if they're seperated and you can't quickly drag and select?
EDIT: Oh, and while having something selected you can hold 'Ctrl' and hit '1' to designate the selected object(s) as Squad 1. You can at any point after this hit 1(without holding any other buttons) to select anything that you had selected when you designated them as squad 1.
This goes for 2, 3, 4 and 5 as well.
Squad 5 is best. You can put marines in it as a reward for doing something spectacular. At least until you want them to do something.
One more thing; while having a squad selected you can hit it's corresponding number once again to zoom to it. I think it zooms to the center of the squad though and not to any particular member, so if you have half of the squad on one side of the map and the other half on the other side, your view will move to the center of the map... usually they stick together though.
This is the second time I've had Squad 5 refered to as 'special'. Any reason or is it just a 'all the cool kids like Squad 5' kinda thing? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oh, I'm guessing that if you want to assign an extra marine to a pre-existing group, you tap (for example) '1', then shift-select the marine? Like the grouping system in Homeworld (for those of you that have played it).
killing pub skulks is free exp =D
I know it sounds lame but that's what you need to do, get in their side.
IT'S JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ENTHUSIASTIC SOLDIER DROP AND GIVE ME 5 <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
