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

There are several functions to enable/encourage proper team play and squad play that is terrible missing in the BF2042 game.And YES, of course you should be able to kick somebody off the squad if you have the squad leader position!Examples mentioned above are great and of course also relevant. If somebody casually have been assigned to your squad but do not care to work together in and with the squad, the squad lead should of course be able to kick such soldier out from the squad. Especially for players that likes to push hard through enemy lines etc, as there it is super vital that all squad members contribute 100% for the group to stay alive behind the enemy lines.Kick is also of course relevant for friends to get together and play together for the fun of it being all in a squad together. So if some unknown casual is in the squad at game round start, then of course the squad lead should be able to kick such member off to make a free soldier slot for the group of friends to get together.That said, it should then of course also work for players themselves to be able to browse through all the existing squads and select to join one of them if any open slots are available in them.Also the function to create a new squad is required, to ensure all have the ability to get organized in the way they prefer to play the game.If a squad lead is not directing the troop with squad orders, we need of course a mechanism to ask for orders and the squad lead position will be transferred to asking squad member on the list if no meaningful order has been given within a reason timeframe.Again, call me an old fashioned legacy BF player, but we had this working fine in previous BF games and we need absolute such base functionality back as default in a BF game!

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.

No, if three of us are on discord and one random joins and does nothing we should be able to kick him.Ridiculous that you can't.EDIT: how can you POSSIBLY abuse kick lol

You can leave squad, yes. But what if you are playing with a couple of friends and you just want to kick the useless camper who stays sniping or hiding in tank or want to get rid of the fatheaded who reveals the beacon position when he starts shooting right after deploying from it . I will love to have the chance to kick the ones who places their beacon just right next to mine.Even if you leave squad maybe you will find another " want-to-kick-this-useless-hindrance ".In deed squad leadership is a joke and squad management is MUST needed and maybe it will make more bearable this horible version of BF.

@Padding_Ur_Stats you can leave the squad but be unable to join another pre-existing squad. Most of the time when I leave I end up alone. If there was proper squad management, where you could create a squad, lock it, etc, then we'd be getting somewhere... [back to the future music plays]

@Anobix when other leave, they will be put into your squad. New players joining will be in your squad.

Kick is horribly abused by players

So if he doesnt do what you want, you kick him. Your interpretation of something probably benefits the squad. Youre all zerging Rush nodes and he is sniping so you kick him.

That is a very good example. When 3 out of 4 players rush m-coms, and the one player that is even further away from the closest objective than the base spawn, he would be as valuable to this squad when they were not in it, so why waste a slot with them.

But then find another person to join the squad. Just because he isnt playing your way, doesnt make him a waste

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.
