Bring Back the Commander & True Squad Play
One thing I think is missing from the Battlefield 6 Beta and something that has always set Battlefield apart is real squad-based teamwork. In older titles like BF2 and BF4, squads could: Earn poin...

Totaly agree! I do remember BF4 commander mode and it was such a feature that sometimes I prefered play as that. As a support player myself in every game that would be great.
These are my suggestion for BF6:
- Commander can send on field ammo creates, UAV/J-UAV, smoke screens and artillery fire like cruise missle, mortar, etc depending on the map (similar to BF4).
- Can create a temporary AC130 drop for parachuting soldiers, depends on the map (like BFV).
- Can improve the time of respawing vehicles OR (even better) chose which vehicle to send on the field and be selected by soldiers.
- Tell squad leaders what to do not by voice chat but by specific voice lines and promt where they can accept the task or not (if completed the whole squad gets more points).
- You can level up skills for commander by using it and being helpful to the team during the match (adding skill trees or unlock trees).
- Animation in game for commanders player where they are on a recon plane like Boeing E3 Sentry (with his own desk etc) for more immersion.
- Sending AC130 Spooky or similar vehicles (depending on map) for support.
- Adding some kind of difficulty on managing the field to avoid being only someone who has just to click on map and wait for results.
- Communication UI for rapid comms towards selected team leader (only him can hear the commander).
OBV this list can be managed and edited depending on the mode.
Without a commander, then I'll suggest to bring back the mechanic from BFV where the team leader can call various thing at least.
Disclaimer: this is just my personal opinion based on my experience with the entire saga as a main support player (not the class but the gameplay)
