FIX BF #1 Problem ? Allow16+players matchmake toguether Command structure 128+

Games like MAG or Planetside 2 have always had much better team structure and teamplay than BF ever had even back in BF2 comander days wich was gimmicky but still was a start ....

BF lack of teamplay not because of the specialist not because of the loadouts but because its a rampant issue that have been in all past BF games and lead squad to " SOLO SQUAD " play or solo players to solo play because the team cohesion is unexistant due to way to small players lobby up to 4 or 5 depending on the BF game .

BF2042 need a better squad structure , better reward and an Opt in Opt out squad lead .. also Bonus point around the squad leader , bonus point for following SL frago orders and so on ..

Also MAG had 32 players lobby to start a matchmaking where you could get 4 squads of 8 in a match of 256 players so we need at least 16 in BF2042

what we need ?

1: Players lobby up to 16 players 4 squads of 4 where we can choose who is squad lead and who isnt .

2: Bonus point around squad leaders

3: VOIP proximity chanel in game with others team mates and a command chanels for SL and PLatoon lead and platoon leader broadcast

4: Bonus point around frago orders given by squad leader such as destroy X vehicles , capture X points etc..

5: Better structure for the team to be able to act in a cohesive manners ..

Here some videos of MAG command stuff wich should be an inspiration for DICE ... Squad leader , Platoon leader , OIC or Officer In charge .. BF2042 allout warfare modes need some of this stucture in order to help with team cohesion teamwork and lead away from feeling isolated as a player or as a squad in a large player count game

Battlefield frriends crew are also asking for bigger Lobby to play 128players match .. Its insane that we have the same 4 man format that we had in Bad company 1 with 12 vs 12 players in games with 64 or 128 players total it dosnt make any sens we need bigger lobby to start matchmaking we need more structure and platoon and clans .. in order to play this game in a cooperative fashion for real

@Stew360 This would indeed have been a massive improvement on prior BF. And is the kind of thing I think we were all secretly hoping for I. Terms of improvements.

@Stew360 I was sort of expecting them to have this for 128 players. But yeah, if large scale is the direction they are going in, then MAG and Planetside 2 are the games to pattern after. Both did it far better. MAG even managed it on PS3 hardware.

We'll probably see kits of squad based games within the live service. It's a great way to keep the game fresh if done right.

@Stew360 In all honesty, the 4 man squad is way too small. Especially for this trash game. 5 to 6 man squad is what it should be just like it was in Battlefield 2 & 3/4

@Ruggels4 man squads would be ok if we have 16 players platoon structure and lobby supporting 16 clan mates or friends 4 squads of 4 in a platoon of 16 and 4 platoon of 16 in a team of 64

@WelshWilks Its allout warfare 128+ players game mode that require MAG or Planetside 2 like Structure of platoon of 4 squads and we need Lobby that support such platoon in order to have more organised and more fun team work potential ... It was working pretty well in MAG and PS2 and there is no reason it would not work in BF .. BF always had this inconsistancy it what it want to be versus what it deliver .. It want to be a team base game but even HALO allow 12 players lobby in a 24 players match game yet all BF have restricted us to 4 to 5 players lobby and its ridiculous and need to change

@ArchAngeL-PCX Yep and thiis need more attention .. but peoples are to busy looking at their nostalgia instead of looking how to really improove teamplay and structure to get an amasing military game !

@Stew360 Wym? Looking at their nostalgia?

I am all for additional squad interactions, I was surprised to see the rollback on features, such as the removal of squad leader abilities smoke barrage etc.

I just want to bump this topic up as it covers one of the largest issues with BF 2042 and this series as a whole. Hopefully whenever platoons get added to this game there will be a host of squad/team play focused features to go along with it.

i'm bumping too.

why TF do I care about the player increase when I'm forced to play with less of my friends as the result of this * backwards *. None of the work arounds from previous games work either.
