I’m tired of the squad order countdown popping up on my screen.
I don’t care if an order was placed. I’m pto and if I select or ping the objective most of the time it doesn’t register
please just change it to a quick notification.
Or put this stupid notification bar above the hud as the same size as the hud. I don’t need this giant notification lol
Many players are super ignorant of their status as squad leaders unless it is pointed out to them.
Especially when in 2042 it has ZERO perks, unlike BFV where you would enjoy the privilege of calling special super vehicles or airstrikes.
I would honestly not notice that I am a squad leader in 2042 unless someone asks for orders.
If you are bothered by it, you can easily either let it count down or pass the lead.
You do not explode it that particular timer runs out.
You completely missed the point @UP_Hawxxeye
Hi
I dont mind being leader - think team / squads need those so that we do not all run around like headless chickens. But you give order attack / defend something - and this order vanishes way too fast. There should also be a cool down timer on how often a squad member can ask for orders / start the counter. If someone disagree with my orders fine - change to other squad - but this constant starting this counter is annoying.
I totally agree there should be some kind of reward for a squad doing what leader say - a little like BF 5 and so on.
It should be like BFV, which worked fine. First, I want a brief notice telling me which squadmate requested an order. Then the notice should go away. That way I'm not stressed by a constant countdown, AND I know which annoying person to kick from my squad if he keeps spamming requests.
For pinging the objective, the only way I get it to work is to ping the edge.
I kept getting that alert and I was pinging the heck out of the objective, and once I pinged the edge it worked consistently.
We should be able to do it on the map and minimap.

Like UP_Hawxxeye said, there was an incentive in BFV, in 2042 there's nothing. I love being a Squad Leader in BFV because I got to choose when and where to use the points. BF2042 has absolutely ZERO incentive, besides not listening to an annoying beeping noise that it makes. It just gets passed back and forth all round. No one cares about it.
and from Zero incentive, we went to negative incentive as far as people like the OP are concerned
I always thought that the main incentive for squad leader and following orders was sticking together supporting each other's actions on the battlefield and winning. Often after marking an objective and going there I am alone. Then after checking my map I see my squad everywhere else on the but there. Which is the main reason why I can not stand being squad leader, and often just immediately give the role to someone else if it lands on me.
The squad order countdown is annoying especially when it seems to only appear at times when I am in a situation where unable to make a squad order. Too busy getting shot at at trying to survive. Are there extra points for executing orders now? I saw something pop up on the screen once that said "order executed," but was not sure if it was myself or a squad member that completed the task.
Squads seem pretty pointless when every single match you are with new people.
No way to get a sense of homieship and working together with new randoms every map.

Once I see people spam requesting orders, and then not follow my orders simply because they’re trying to get squad leadership, I give them exactly what they want; squad leadership…..in a squad of their own!
