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.

@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.

@Trokey66 You clearly never ever have played any 128 to 256 players games to say that have you ...
This isnt BF4 this will be 128 players in bigger maps with way more vehicules and all
Not having the possibility to have larger squads and dedicated organization chanels and tools for squads lead etc.. to team work will make every games
A farming only KDR stats padding fest with snipers everywhere and where NO ONES care about objective and it will make no difference
that youre 4 to 5 men squads even exist in the game you will win or loose by cheer luck or loose by bad luck
Tell yourself that having a 8 men squads in BF2042 128 players match will be the equivalent of having a 4 player squad in BF4 64 players match
I played planetside 1 and 2 , MAG on ps3 with 128 to 256 players and 8 players squads was a bare minimum ... Also to prevent cluster i already made it clear we could make 4 players fireteam whithin squads of 8 for Free chat and for respawn but lobby must be 8 to 16 to matchmake with
- @Stew360 What happens if you don't have 8 friends on that session?
What happens when half your mega squad are randoms?
In these cases "A farming only KDR stats padding fest with snipers everywhere and where NO ONES care about objective and it will make no difference" could very well still occur.
As long as randoms exist, the above is likely to occur, I hope it doesn't but let's be real about it.
Just a quick question though, we're did I say I was against 8 man squads?- @Trokey66 What will happen if you dont have friends ? You do you thats what happen , but at least allowing peoples to have 8 to 16 players lobby ensure we have a possibility to work toward objective and win the game even if 40 out of 64 dont care about objectives . A 4 players squad can make a difference to win in a 12 vs 12 or in a 16 vs 16 .. But when you start with 64 players match it already become difficult to make any meaningfull difference then in a 128 players match its totally ridiculous to think that 4 players will achieve anything unless the other team is filled with easymode bots
At a minimum if they could at least allow you to lobby up with and join a game with more than 4 even if it will split you into multiple squads that would be tolerable. just blows my mind that this even has to be a concern and 8 player squads isn't a shoe in feature at this point..
-You learn to talk to people and be a kind person.
-you find a community of likeminded individuals
-you teach them how to play with you or you kick them from your squad
-which is exactly why there's no reason NOT to increase potential squad sizes
-thats why you have dedicated community servers with their own personal administrators.
-you attacking the idea of 8 man squads means you clearly don't like 8 man squads.
- @afa20f13a0993a51ebc53e7cf97ebfba sorry?
My preffered squad size is 5 but at no point have I said I'm against 8 however:
If you consistently have 8 mates, great crack on.
What happens if you have 9 mates or only 5 or 6?
I just think 8 man squads will cause just as many issues that it will cure.
Either way more than 4 is required.
Everyone realises right that you don’t have to have exactly 128 players. Making the divisible by N argument pointless.
you can have less if you want squads of 5-6-8 etc.
personally, whilst I think the main servers should be at least 5man squads, I’d settle for communities servers to have the option of setting the squad size.
because let’s face it, communities servers are going to be infinitely better than the official servers will ever be.
We need bigger squads!
The argument about squads being devisable is absolutely nil and void due to squad locking.
Jeez.......
