Why four squad members instead of five?

I just want to answer this simple question. Don’t tell me why five instead of four. At worst five gives you some room if one member isn’t PFTOing

    BF4 had 5 men fireteams, BF2 six men fireteams. I forgot BF vietnam or 1942, I don't even remember if squads were a thing honestly.


    @Kekkset Correct on BF2/2142 with 6 man squads and 1942 and Vietnam didn't even have squads. Bad Company for console is where the squads were lowered from 6 to 4 probably due to the vastly lowered player count.

    Squad sizes in recent BF games were:

    • BF2:       6.  (first BF game I think w squads?)
    • BF2142: 6.
    • BFBC:    4.
    • BFBC2:  4.
    • BF3:       4.
    • BF4:       5.
    • BFHL:    5.
    • BF1:       5.
    • BFV:      4.

    @SAMURI_FAP Should be 5 with the ability to add 3-5 more in game. Take a page from the survivor games and add people to your squad in game. That would be awesome!
  • I really wish they would let us change this value in Portal,

    but it looks like we are stuck with 4 man squads in portal as well ☹️
