5 man squads

During the pre alpha gameplay I saw that there were 4 people to a squad. I'm hoping they bring back 5 to a squad like BF1 so I can play with all my friends.  I don't know why they down sized it to 4 ...

    Yep, 4 man squads confirmed. A couple reasons for them choosing 4 man squads come to mind. There's four classes so each member of the squad can be a different class. Assault, support, engineer, and sniper.

    The second reason I can think of is that 4 man squads divides evenly into 128 players. I don't know if these are the reasons DICE chose to go with 4 man squads, but it's my best guess as to why.

@DingoKillrI know that. I meant, are they limiting how many specialists per squad? If you and I are in a squad and I’m Casper, do you get to be Casper as well? That’s what I mean. Like, are they concerned that you’ll just quit the game, or get frustrated by squads, because you can’t be Casper? Hence, 4 man squads and less likelihood someone would have “your guy/gal”

@Boba_Brett711I don't see that type of restriction being put in place. DICE has not restricted class before why start now.

DICE appears to have give 1 specialist Sundance the wingsuit. Having only 1 Sundance would leave the rest of the squad behind. With little info we have, may be DICE will allow us to have a squad of Sundance with different gadgets.

    @DingoKillr I do hope you’re right.

    I guess I’m just assuming it’s locked to one per because of the squad sizes, because I can’t really think of another good reason why 8-man squads wouldn’t be the new standard.
