I haven't really been following this game and only just a few days ago really looked into it. The 'going rogue' bit sounds really neat, but isn't it like a bad thing? Like, you lose a lot of xp or something? That's what a friend was telling me and if that's the case then that's kinda a shame.
EDIT: Decided to google this. Looks like Ubisoft is still balancing out that aspect, as there was an update a bit ago that made you earn more and lose less when going rogue so it's a bit more appealing.
When you shoot another player by accident or intentionally; you go into "ROUGE" status for about 15 really freaking long seconds. If someone shoots you and the bullet is somewhere near your hitbox; the timer holds at whatever point it was at for another 5 really freaking long seconds. When you are rouge, anyone can shoot and kill you and not be penalized, and will actually get a reward; if you die as rouge, you loose a ludicrous amount of exp and money (they might have tweaked this to be better). When you go rouge, everyone on the entire map will know.
I went rouge once and got to maximum rouge level and survived. I got exactly 777 DZ credits. I once got accidentially forced rouge and killed. I lost 2000 DZ credits. This is why going rouge is the worst thing you can possibly do.
Essentially going rouge is Self Delete unless you have a really strong squad and a good camping spot; which means players who want to PVP will attempt to force you to go rouge so they can kill you ez pz and get more for it.
