Kick
Need a kick button in squads. enough of the catering to the woke.

You can leave the squad
Last time I checked one is a prisoner to the same squad for the entire round unless they join a friends party that has another squad.
Have they added additional functionality that I have missed?
My worst memory of 2042 was on the first month where a random squadmate was harassing me because I was leveling my Casper mastery with the drone (he deemed that useless camping). He could spawn at my beacon and attract the enemies attention to my location to get me killed.
I could not leave the squad so I was stuck with that tool for the entire round.
This game needs proper squad management (join, leave, create, lock), if these actions were there, there would be no need to kick anyone. Whatever we have now is no where near adequate for a 128-player squad-based FPS game.

The squad management in BF2042 definitely needs an upgrade / rework that's for sure. 👍

Yep, just reiterating this.
On the occasion that we have more than 4 people trying to play together (unbelievable, I know!) the other people can at least join a game by right-click joining on a friend and end up in the same game. But there isn't a way to do that with another party of people. If the person that got in, could create a new squad and the other one-offs join that squad they could actually work together. At this point it's a complete crap-shoot if they can work together or just get partnered with randoms.

We do that almost every night, but what is required to play together on the same team is to join with the first 4, then split one person off and create a new party and have the other join the two parties that exist then.
Which is indeed a major PAIN and will leave the last in queue sometimes wait a long time before all are on the server.
A second way that we now use is to do the following:
Create all parties from the beginning and then the party leaders do the old 3-2-1-click countdown and all click to start searching for a new game at the same time. Given that there are so few players playing the game now means that you always end up on the same server. If you are on opposing teams and want to play together all ALT-F4 out and start the procedure again until all end up on the same team. We have fast PCs, so each iteration does not take too long, but it is still a VERY bad experience nonetheless.
Yeah, that's how we've had to do it as well, and it is incredibly frustrating. Especially just bouncing in/out of the queue until they align, but always happens that someone misses hitting escape or whatever and rinse and repeat. This could all be so much easier...
