Exactly. Team and squad management needs to be revamped and fleshed out to better fit friends who want to play with more than one 4 person squad in a match. There are many communities that have large groups of people playing all at the same time and would like to all be playing within the same match. In a game that lets you play with 32-64 players on a team you’d think this would be a priority.
I don't believe they've overlooked it, I believe they've gone in that direction on purpose so I honestly don't think they'll change it. There is so many scoreboard/squad features missing on top of whats already been mentioned that it's just too much to be a coincidence. For example:
Can't see players kill count in scoreboard
Can't text chat to enemy team
No rank shown on scoreboard
Can't see what classes people are using on scoreboard
Can't see who's in what vehicle on the scoreboard
All these scoreboard issues alomg with the SBMM point to the fact that they don't want any random people squadding up and having fun for a few games in a row while also having banter and rivalry with the enemy team. The fact that you have to use a quick join system to a random server, then you can't create squads or communicate with the enemy team, then after the match you are all split up and booted out to random servers just simply can't be an accident. It's quite clear that for whatever reason that this is how they want people to play even though I'd bet good money that a large majority of the player base would prefer the old classic setup of server browser, choose game you want to play, create and join squads of like minded players, form a bond, form rivalry with the enemy team and all play a few rounds together and have fun.
I mean, there's nothing more entertaining than headshotting the same dude over and over round after round and having a load of banter about it in the chat. The lack of all the above features is a real problem IMO and really fragments the players and makes the whole experience very sterile, almost like you are just playing a single player game or playing against bots. Without the scoreboard kills and text chat no one has any identity any more.
Well they overlooked that people would build XP farms in Portal. So I think this could be an overlooked feature or it is just not final yet.
Please all add XP to this and Me Too so it gets attention. Thanks 👍
Surely they must have seen bot farming coming a mile off, if not then all hope is lost.
