Squad issues

Just some general feedback. 

  1. When running a about and looking down at the four players in your squad it doesn't highlight who the squad leader is. Previous games have symbolised this with a star.
  2. You cannot lock the squad leader between games even if four of you are friends and have entered the game as a group of four. The players I know generally have the same squad leader game on game and it would be nice not to have to workout who the current squad leader is and then get them to go and reassign it at the start of each match. However, I do appreciate that in squads with random players you don't want to lock the leader. 
  3. When we create a squad in the main menu for the first time the game generally goes wrong when 2-4 players go in together. The squad leader gets frozen on the loading screen (which starts to flicker) and the other three players get kicked back to the main menu. When the team leader restarts the entire game and rejoins the squad it tends to work going in. Subsequent games seem fine but once the squad is disbanded and you create a new squad the issue repeats. 
  4. When the squad leader is trying to select a base to attack it's not easy to actually select that base quickly. Sometimes it seems to work quickly and sometimes you have to make several efforts to tag the base you are heading at. Sometimes no tag takes place at all and sometimes it just tags a random wall in front of you even though you are pointing at the base. This happens with and without ads.
  5. On a positive note all members of the squad loved that it now shows lines on the minimap to where you are supposed to be going when directed by the squad leader.

    Furthermore they need to implement the leader change if the leader does not lead and gives orders. in bf1 you could demand an order and if nothing happend in this department you became the leader... this should be added

    Thank you both for your feedback, this is great. I totally agree with Olivero_oka38e1 here. That was exactly the feedback that I shared in this forum as well (read below). I hope they do something with this.


    Right now,  in the Battlefield 6 open(closed) beta, it seems that non-leader players cannot properly request orders from their squad leader. This removes a key layer of communication and coordination, especially important in random squads where players don’t use voice chat.

    In past Battlefield titles, players could ping an objective to request a squad order, and if the leader didn’t respond after a few requests, leadership would transfer. That mechanic appears to be missing or broken in the beta. Played now for 2 hours on PS5 in the closed beta.

    Please reintroduce:
     • The ability to request squad orders via pings, or via: "Contextual Wheel" / "Command Wheel."
     • Squad leader prompts to accept/reject the request
     • Auto-promotion to squad leader if no orders are given over time

    These small systems go a long way in encouraging teamwork, and Battlefield is at its best when players are working toward shared goals.

    When I play longer, I will summarize more feedback on this topic.
