Personally I think 8-player squads is too large. You also have to consider the fact players in a squad can spawn on eachother. So having 8 instead of 4 players in a squad changes the whole dynamics of the game since you can spawn a larger number of players way faster in a small area. Personally I liked the 5-player squads of the past, but obviously that didn't fit well with 32- and 64-player games. But lets be honest, 32- and 64-player games has become an arbitrary number as it technically can be any number. There's literally no reason not to use 30-, 40-, 50-, 60-, 70- or whatever number of players.
I don’t think he means 8 player squad, but an 8 player party. Where you can all join a match together, form two squads but still talk in the party chat channel.
