Let Us Have 8-Player Squads in Battlefield 6 – It’s What This Game Deserves
Battlefield 6 is a chance to bring this franchise back to where it belongs – at the top of large-scale FPS. We’re getting full crossplay, modern mechanics, bigger battles – but one thing still feels outdated: the squad system.
It’s time to move beyond 4-player squads. Let us group up as full 8-player squads. Let us bring our communities in, not split them up.
Most players in 2025 aren’t jumping on with just one or two friends. We’re in Discord servers. We’re part of gaming groups. We’ve got 6, 7, 8 people ready to play together. But every match, we’re forced to split into two separate squads, losing coordination and energy. Why?
Crossplay opens the door for bigger, unified teams. The tech is finally there. Let us use it.
Give us 8-player squads – and for balance, let them split into two fireteams of 4. That way, comms and tactical orders can still flow clearly. You keep the structure while giving us the social freedom that Battlefield is built for.
Here’s what 8-player squads solve:
No more splitting up active groups
Clans and communities can actually play together
Better coordination during objectives and pushes
Stronger team play across all skill levels
Solo players get placed into fuller, more active squads
Matches feel more alive and dynamic
It scales perfectly with 64 and 128-player games
The beauty of this is it doesn’t require a major change. No new mode. No complicated mechanics. It’s just a quality-of-life improvement that reflects how people play multiplayer games today.
Battlefield has always been about squad-based chaos on a massive scale. This takes that vision and brings it into the current era of gaming.
Let us bring our full squad in. Let us play with our full team. Give us 8-player squads with optional fireteam split, and you’ll see communities stick around longer, play more, and enjoy the experience the way it was meant to be.
Please don’t overlook this. It’s a small change with huge impact.
If you’re reading this and you agree – speak up. Let’s get this on the radar.
