Revive BF2:MC Clans in BF6

@Battlefield

DICE/EA team—BF6 is off to a killer start, but let's level up the social side with a proper clan system. Nothing's topped the magic of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat on PS2 (or Killzone 2 on PS3). Those were ahead of their time, and replicating them could supercharge player retention and competitive fire. Hear me out! Back in 2005, BF2:MC's clan system was pure gold: Dedicated in-game management pages let leaders invite/kick members, promote captains, and organize squads. You had clan leaderboards tracking overall performance, and the real hook? Jumping into matches to "ready up" against rival clans for instant chaos. But the genius was the dynamic point system—upsets were rewarded big time. If a top-10 clan beat a #150 squad, they earned modest points (with light deduction from the underdog). Flip it, and the #150 crew gets a massive boost, while the elites lose chunks. It kept things fair, punishing complacency and celebrating David-vs-Goliath wins. No wonder it built lasting communities—clans felt alive, matches had stakes, and grinding felt purposeful. Killzone 2 on PS3 came close with its robust clans (up to 64 players), Valor Points as in-game betting currency for tournaments, and easy join-in for clan mates. It turned random lobbies into organized rivalries, with ribbons and medals unlocking clan perks. Both games proved clans drive replayability: Friends lists, VoIP comms, and stats tied to team pride kept servers buzzing years after launch. Fast-forward to BF6: We've got Portal for fun, but no deep clan tools means squads scatter, and leaderboards feel solo. My pitch—implement a BF2:MC-inspired clan system with modern twists:

Clan Management Hub: In-game pages for invites, kicks, promotions (e.g., captains for sub-squads), and custom tags/emblems. Easy VoIP integration and "Join Clan Game" for quick rallies.
Clan Leaderboards: Track team wins, K/D, objectives—separate from personal stats to avoid solo-padding (ties into our Portal split idea!).
Dynamic Scoring: Borrow that upset magic—scale points based on rank gaps. Top clan vs. mid-tier? Small gains for the win. Underdog upset? Huge rewards + penalties for the favorite. Add optional Valor-style betting for clan tourneys.
Compromise for BF6: Share weapon/career progression across modes, but gate clan points to official/PvP matches. Keep it cross-platform for bigger pools.

This isn't just nostalgia—it's proven. BF2:MC clans kept PS2 servers alive post-2014 shutdown via fan revivals, and KZ2's system is still hailed as console gold. A strong clan layer would hook casuals into squads, boost longevity, and make BF6 the multiplayer king. Thoughts, devs? Would love a beta test—let's make clans the heart of the Battlefield!
