@AnobixBattleBit has 8 player squads and it works fine (with 128+ players at least).

It can make it harder to capture a flag, but this can actually be an advantage. Fighting over flags becomes way more intense, it makes each flag feel like a battle on its own. In BattleBit fighting over a flag can take much longer time than in 2042, it is not just a case of killing a few enemies and capturing. You have to kill a lot of enemies and this requires many players working together. BattleBit has a 'epicness' to the fighting because of the intensity and 'brutality/chaos', which is missing from 2042.

Furthermore it makes 'lone-wolfing' more difficult - the chance of running into a larger squad is bigger.

Thanks for responding, I bought Battlebit but have only played a handful of hours or so (rank 20 I think or something) and had forgotten about the size of the squads. The UI for that game needs several more passes, but it is very promising that's for sure.

Wouldn't be so bad if you could get more than 4 in a server.....

But yes, bigger squads would be a great help even if it was just 5 man (yes, I assumed gender).

@AnobixI have almost 'forgotten' 2042 because of BBR.

The game is so much fun, even though it has a lot of issues and are a way more hardcore shooter than 2042 (no minimap, no grenade indicators, very low ttk etc etc). It is not BF, but still close enough.

BBR have shown that if you make a game that is fun to play, then all the games shortcomings doesn't matter, the fun gameplay makes up for all the issues. I can play BBR for many hours in a row, 2042 often makes me quit within an hour.

And the gun-play in BBR is just so good and satisfying, which is really missing in 2042.
