@edgecrusherO0The old BF beside BF2 maybe didnt had much real squad play period the " Bad company era " as launch on BF the ": squad centric " or " squad elitism " mentality where you only care about your tiny group or squad of 4 only revive them only care about them and communicate with them only .. But in BFBC the team were 12 vs 12 so 1 squad was 1/3 of a team wich wasnt much of a big deal back then ..
But as soon as we got back to BF3 64 players this squad thing was once again reimplemented and you only had squads of friends that work and randoms squads were a nightmare .. teamwork was a nightmare as well .. more griefers trying to steal your vehicles or take your bbuddy gunner place than actual usefull team mates ..
This is why games like MAG have worked welll .. BF4 commanders was a joke .. BF2 commander at least had a bit of something going on but it wasnt nearly as good as OIC in MAG and there was no proper Squad to platoon to OIC structure and a 128 player game requires that to feel a team is a team and not just " a Hero solo squads " into a ocean of randoms like BF3 or 4 now even with friends you are 1/16 of a team not 1/3 like BFBC so it can lead to frustrating senario .. BF3 and 4 you were mostly 1/8 of a team ...
We need squads of 4 , platoons of 16 for 64 players team with OIC broadcast , Platoons leaders broadcast , Squad VOIP and Squad points , frago objectives and rewards for squad cohesion just like MAG ...
I dont really care much about past BF failed system i want real improovements that were needed since BF3 launch and never happened a decade after
