Expectations Vs. Reality

Reason #97985 to add squad management, sometimes these pub squads are enough to make you want to tear your hair out. 🙂

    Oh, I absolutely agree but at least with a REAL squad management system you can mitigate some of the headaches a little.

    I mean who hasn't had that mental giant in their squad who,

    • A. Won't revive or give ammo, spot etc. etc.
    • B. Spends the whole match hill-humping while ineffectively sniping at the far edges of the map while the rest of you are getting slaughtered PTFO, and then has the audacity to whine non-stop because you won't run over there to give them ammo
    • C. Spends the whole match hurling insults and telling everyone how "trash" the team is from their 39th place position on the scoreboard
    • D. Drives off in a vehicle without picking anybody up
    • E. Uses a fully loaded Condor as their own personal transport, bails out to get to their favorite sniper nest, and lets everyone else die a fiery death (one of my personal favorite ways to die)

    And I'm sure I could go on, but you get the picture, it sure would be nice to boot these big-brain, widow-lickers out of your squad.

    What am I suppose to do, make another threads? LOL.

    Apparently if squad pool already filled,you can't create another squad ( all the way up to Rattlesnake, I think). Another instance if you join by friend list invite or last online feature, you create new squad automatically, but if just 2 or 3 of you, last member will be fill with random AI until random guy from queue join. During that time none of your friend can't join.Seem like Dice trying to be woke by "diversifying" squad.

    Don't blame on me btw

    I don't think any of the lack of squad features in BF2042 have to do with player feelings or political agendas, etc. They just didn't want to spend time/money on developing them (i.e. corporate greed strikes again).

    So many "legacy features" have been stripped away from BF2042. Game software development by AAA studios has become so bogged down in the past 2 decades that it now it takes 20 different teams just to make a UI change or fix a bug. In efforts to scale, these studios have compartmentalized so much that it takes way too much effort to get things done. Combine this with constant pressure from executives to "do more with less" and you end up with a bunch of frustrated and marginalized developers and ultimately a lesser product.

    I really feel that being able to kick greefers from your squad is important. I would be totally for this.
