@Prof3ss0r_M1k3 I can definitely understand that feeling. It's been over a decade since this franchise has had custom squads, and it's never replaced that feature with anything that allows us to find team-oriented squad mates.
I'd rather see features that aim to tackle the root issue - the lacking supply of teamwork. Custom squads would be one, even if they have to resort to a "canned chat" naming system.
Or even better, I'd like to see a squad matchmaking system. Let me choose my restrictions - their SPM, their role (infantry, tank, pilot), max server ping, if they use voice comms, etc. Then throw me into a queue, and only after that, allow us to either manually select a server or allow the game find an ideal server for us.
Instead it plans on reverting to class restrictions which hurts teamplay instead of aiding it. I totally get why some of these games enjoy restrictions, but they absolutely need a system for finding like-minded players. I don't believe it can ever benefit public servers without that.
