Bigger Squads - Conversations
Does anyone else wish Squads were bigger than 4 people?
Especially considering the size of teams in this game, finding any friends who couldn't fit into your squad will be a nightmare.

@mathematics654 That is no excuse. In some cases you can get good use out of squads of 2. Does this mean we should have 2 man squads? No. Thats ridiculous.
More than that its ridiculous to assume every server is going to packed with full squads. That's absurd, lone wolf gameplay is also important in minor roles.
The MINIMUM Dice should be bringing from squads should be 6 despite the division. 8 is obviously the ideal.
4 man squads are jokes that laugh in the face of everything DICE originally did to make BF the game that became what it is today.
I believe 4-man squads were invented in BFV as Firestorm utilized 4-man squads... So Dice could save 15minutes of dev-time by avoiding to program 5-man squads...
EA took the liberty to screwup mu thread and mixed it with mindless request of 5 players squad BF4 style wich was already a low number for a 32 player team ..
For a 128 player match we NEED AND REQUIRE at least 8 players lobbys to create a 8 player squad divided into 2 fireteam of 4 to prevent abusive squads respawn .
But we need bigger lobby of friends for matchmaking and better structure otherwise we will be stuck in match with KDR farmers who never work for objectives and a squad of 4 or 5 will be meaningless to achieve anything
- @Stew360 calm down with the 'WE NEED' bud.
4 man squads is to low but for many 5 fits nice and is my preffered number. I'm not opposed to larger squads, just don't think it is essential, especially if randoms get involved.I’m probably in the minority (edit: maybe not after seeing other replies lol), but squads should be 8 people. It would evenly split the squads for each team and would be a larger squad. I’m one of those players coming from games with larger squads, like Hell Let Loose, and I think it works pretty well there.
Especially here on console where it’ll be near impossible to get other players working together, especially if there are no plans for proximity chat. 8-man squads just make sense for a lot of reasons. It’s an even split, more friends in the same squad (my group of friends considers this when choosing games to play, say if we have more than 4 people), and I think it would help squads of more capable players have a larger impact on the match.

@DeeCay_DK_81 No the number in squads have varied over the years. BF2 had 6 man squads, BC2, BF3 had 4 man squads, BF4 5 man squads, then BF1 and 5 had 4 man squads again. I personally never liked 4 man squads since I have a lot of friends to play with.
- @ragnarok013 Small point of order, BF1 has 5 man squads......
- @Trokey66 thank you for the correction it's been a while since I've played BF1.
