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.

We the united community of Battlefield enthusiast wants demands 5-man squads implemented in the upcoming BF2042 or at least the option to link two squads into a 8-man squad!
I dont get the premise as to 64-man teams can be only divided by 4 and we dont want to leave players outside of squads or not able to squad up.
The game promotes choices, sandbox-playstyle and huge intense battles.
Why have we to be restricted to tiny 4-man squads which leaves clan-mates out?
- @DeeCay_DK_81 If they do not allow more than 4 and or merging squads, there's always party chat psn, whatever xbox has and vent or teamspeak <<<<if those are still available for pc.
That atleast allows the ability for coms with ur buds.š
Myself and my clan are always in a party chat room- @SOCOMDEATHDEALR I think they really need to clean up the in-game chat to the point where players want to use it over PSN or Discord. The best squad based large scale games have done this (Planetside 2, MAG, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142). With maps this big and this many players, they all need to be on the same system communicating.
That option would be a good thing for sure. The main reason I'm in a party, is because there are quite a few of us that have rolled and still roll, numerous games, so we keep the chat with just us.
Also, keeps us from having to listen to the morons that like to play 'DJ' blasting music, talking on the phone, kids just babbling junk....when all someone has to do is hit the mute. Saves us from blocking so we can just talk s* to each other and roll š¤
- @DeeCay_DK_81 I'd like to see 8 man squads.
I'd say add platoons (4 squads per platoon with platoon leaders), but I think they need at least 256 players like MAG had for that.- @ArchAngeL-PCX MAG had 64, 128, and 256 player lobbies. For the 64v64 lobbies, teams were split into 2 platoons of 32, with 4 squads of 8 a pop. In the 256 player lobbies, you also had an Officer In Charge (OIC) that was basically a company commander.
I'm curious to see if they keep the acquisitions system from Battlefield V. If they did that, I could see Platoon Leaders being able to call in assets that would be stronger than what a Squad Leader can call in while also being able to direct troops; kind of like a commander in BF4 except in the field.
8 player squads I think would be good move though; it would certainly make the larger lobbies more manageable instead of having a wave of smaller squads running about. You mentioned PlanetSide as well, which if they wanted to nab the Fireteam mechanic so you could split an 8 man squad into 2 elements of 4, that could be done easier as well. Fireteam leader would most likely just be able to choose objectives or have squad members spawn on them.

So as I said, I hate seeing that constantly happening. The problem is, it keeps happening. Having 64-Players Per Side is only going to make this a whole lot worse.
I get it, 4-Man Fire Team. However, That makes a Squad, a small Squad. As Commander Mode, we want to order Platoons, Companies and so on.
So, looking into the main chunk of it. A Team can be 2 Units, but it can contain 3. A Squad contains 2 Teams, but can contain up to 6 Teams (uncommon). The idea is that two Teams are lead by a Squadron Leader or Staff Sargent.
Now, I'm bar far not an Expert. That said, I know that a 4-Man Squad is actually slightly more uncommon than a Squad with more units.
Ideally, for Snipers, they run in Teams, but generally have 3 Teams in the Squad for general purpose. This means 6 Men, not 5, and not 4. A Sniper Team is comprised of a Sniper and a Spotter. A Sniper Squad generally has a Medic with a Close Quarters Weapons, and a Sargent who is accompanied by a Spotter.
Now I know this is only 64-Players a Side, so there wouldn't be room for multiple Companies of Units on the same Team. However, you should allow larger Squads to form or have a Platoon Section. This will at least make it easier and less stressful for us who play Commander Mode.
I don't want the A-Z of Squads, and with 2-Man Squads, you'll run out of Letters. With 4-Man Squads, you'll be left with nothing but A through P worth of Squads. By the way, this doesn't look right on Low-Resolution Screens with this many Squads.
A Real Squad has a Maximum limit of 12 Men/Women before it's classed as a Platoon. Yes Platoons or Something would be nice i mean im not Sure If im Special or Something but i have more than 3 friend that i want to Play with ššš It wouldn't be such a Big Problem If the ea Party size also can be bigger than 4 Slots queue together , Join the Same Server , Play in 2 sqauds... No Big Deal but Joining the Same Server with people in 2 different Partys is crappy....
Hope ea will Change make me Happy again Like with that movement Changes after the Last Beta.

yeah honeslty no reason this shouldnt be an option
4 is simply too little, plus when we get voip i want to communicate with more than 4 people on my 64 man team
- @DeeCay_DK_81 yes we need bigger squad sizes!
DeeCay I'm with you šÆ%! Ive been playing with the same 5 people and since bf5 we've had to leave one man out. SMH I don't understand the change!
