@Anobix This particular version of BF never encouraged team play. Squad orders are rarely given and squad leaders like myself who do issue squad orders have to continually reissue them because they are cancelled even when the objective status has not changed. You have to reissue it over and over and it's a real pain in the * and I can see why many players don't issue squad orders and I don't complain about it anymore (run-on sentence). Just the same the squad leadership is not affected if a squad order is requested and none is given, unlike BF1 and BF5. Also VOIP which we had to fight for to get put in the game in the first place has not worked properly from day 1 of being patched in. So there is is no direction and everyone runs around like chickens with their heads cut off. All you can do is follow the biggest crowd attacking an objective. Placing the sentry was a good strategy, now I guess it's a pop gun.

@DaveTheBrave_USA Yep absolutely agreed. The squad orders is completely worthless, for what it's worth the leadership thing would change hands as far back as BF4 as well [unsure if it was in BF3 as I haven't played that for a long time]. But then again, there's no point(s) for following squad orders like in previous games either. Extra points for helping squadmates, extra for capturing marked points, etc are gone as far as I can tell. I imagine the pointer system (Q) overwrites orders as well so if you mark someone and had a point marked to cap it probably overwrites it (or I wouldn't be surprised if it did).

At this point, the sentry is mostly a decoy... at least it spots for your squad now?

    @Anobix Yes that's exactly right. The bonus points for capturing a squad ordered objective are gone now. If that's not a dead giveaway that team play was not a design objective of this game, what is?
