I really don't want to talk to randos on a squad. I've read the pinging system is really good. Is it worth trying to play or should I just wait until solo is available?

The ping is so good, might be one of the bigger innovations in gaming since achievements.

What makes it better than other games? More servers?

Not that kind of ping (network latency) - what we're referring to here is highlighting something in the game world that your teammates need to know about - enemy locations, your destination or intent, loot types (specific weapons/ammo/equipment on the ground), etc. It paints a marker onto the screen indicating the location of whatever someone is wanting to point out, along with a voice clip from the character about it. Several of the ping commands are context-sensitive too - if you press the ping button on empty space you'll just get a yellow indicator as a "go to here" location, but if you highlight an enemy you'll get a red marker along with your character saying "enemy spotted".

All of that is possible through this game's ping system - it's an invaluable communication tool.

I think Respawn's marketing strategy was incredibly risky and odd, but in the end ingenious. They did no marketing for the game such as ads, trailers etc...invited a few streamers out to an event a week before it launched, then simply released the game without warning (essentially keeping it a secret). I hear that they chose to go that route because they felt gamers would think "Oh, ANOTHER battle royale game..." or criticize this is an EA game and there are loot boxes (i.e. EA Battlefront) so nobody would give the game a chance.

I tell you...this dev team has some smart dudes as they seem to have thought of EVERY thing. The gameplay is well thought out, the heros and mechanics are fairly well balanced - it's so polished and just incredibly impressive for zero fan-fare leading up to release.
