Next BF and squad functions

Question

Hi!Next BF could evolve squad mechanics IMO and allow squad leader to assign few things regarding squad functions. Solo players can play freely on their own. Squads could be formed in pre-round screen where willing players would take a lead and set up a squad w/ preferred setups.• Squad privacy: Open squad/Friends only/Platoon only/Invite only• Communication: Mic preferred/Optional&nbsp;• Squad role: Offensive/Defensive/Logistics/Reconnaissance• Soldier rank ranging: What type of skill level SL wants squad be filled with. Note that SLs themselves must be within the limit!Focus is to make units cohesive and functional to tasks squad leader has decided. This would also help to find like-minded players in lobbies and join them.

Hello Raajakaarti_Tero​,I think they should keep it the way it is. Battlefield 2 really hit the sweet spot, and the newer games have also done a good job with the squad system. Making it more complex would just turn it into an unnecessary hassle for players.

Skill matching creates a wall between new players and veteran players. If a new player and a veteran player play together as friends, the new player will be sent to the veteran server. This has already happened with Apex Legends. In short, new players will not be able to enjoy playing.
