I would like us all to meet up at the beginning. If working as a team doesn't pique your fancy, fine. But just remember, you are not Rambo, nor are you Master Chief. A solitary soldier, just may be a dead soldier. A group on the other hand can do more, be able to use more tactics to defeat larger groups. I'm not going to force anyone to work in a group. But seeing I am both a player, and the GM, I have the power to be...evil if I like.
