Re: Why (almost) No One Uses Squad Commands?
So this is a multi pronged issue.
#1 there is no real notification that you are the squad leader, there are no reminders that you need to be marking objectives for your squad. The scoreboard is terrible, no way to change squads if their play style “aka all snipers” doesn’t work with yours, no way to vote and replace squad leader.no way to pass squad leadership if you aren’t interested in doing it.
#2 no VOIP, total fail. This is one of the best features of any multiplayer games and helps tremendously to be able to talk instead of type into chat.
#3 the existing commo rose is horrible. It is too busy, hard to read and not intuitive. If we can’t get VOIP it would make more sense to split squad commands onto another comms rose.
So I don’t think people just don’t like doing squad leader duties but the game sure doesn’t guide or give them effective ways to figure it out. I had heard some of the “legacy” features listed above were not in led on purpose to “reduce toxicity”. I swear we have non-gamers making decisions about games.
