I really miss the squad order request, especially the mechanic where if after a certain time without a squad order the leader is changed. This really helps when playing with randoms to make a squad move together towards the same objectives. I would even suggest having challenges that encourage squad members to follow squad orders.
You could even have a squad vote mechanic if the leader is making poor decisions.
It could come back potentially, but I suspect that the suggested order feature is being used instead at the moment. I think I actually prefer it to the request order feature, although that's just me.
I hope it comes back and I have no problem with suggested order staying. At the moment a squad leader can still give squad orders however most of the time the leader doesn’t either no about the feature or doesn’t want to use it, which is fair enough. However having the option for a new leader to be given the opportunity within a match would be nice which has been the case in previous battlefields.
