Please remove the Squad order countdown

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

    I don't mind the reminder too much in itself (I am forgetful), I just don't need the countdown on the screen. Flash the message at me for a moment and I'm good.

    However, I do wonder whether this is down to feedback from players who said they didn't see the message easily in BF1 and BFV.


    Probably not as that would imply that Dice listens to community feedback 😃

    It is probably like this to remind squad leaders as often as possible to give orders since most people said that they never received squad orders at all in earlier feedback.  

    Nothing has changed in my experience.  The only time that I see a squad order is when the role is given to me and I do it myself.  

    DICE really should be asking themselves why the squad leader role is mostly irrelevant to the people playing.  All the squad leader has to do is click on an icon on the screen.  Why does this seem to be too much to ask of the player?  I certainly have my suspicions why this is.

    Hardly any players care about team work.

    I got used to that in this game on launch.

    If i get a challenge to heal 5 team mates i heal 5 and no more whats the point?

    There is no incentive in this game to be a team player as your average team player is on the other side of the map.

    I'm to the point where some games I make my own squad and lock it so I don't have to listen to that countdown crap 

  • I think most of the problem is that the current system does it when other squad mates mark an objective too. I'm okay with it from literally asking for orders in commorose since that's what it's for in the first place, but it ALSO activates from them pinging an objective at all. I have literally given an order for a flag, and ONE SECOND later get pinged to give an order as leader... because someone else pinged a different objective. THAT'S not a good system. Just keep it to the ASKING FOR ORDERS ONLY, and don't let it activate IF THERE'S AN ORDER IN PLACE ALREADY.

  • The sound is incredibly annoying, and it happens pretty much every match. I'll hear the sound, make someone else squad lead, then I'll end up squad lead again later that round and have to hear it again. I've started playing with sound off because of it.

    I am annoyed asf with it, my hud is set to narrow, whenever it pops, literally in the middle of my screen.

    I have started making a new squad if someone requests order when I happen to be squad leader.

    It’s the quickest way of not having to bother with this squad order crap.

    I’d rather play solo than have to deal with that stupid system.
