Squad leadership and squad play
How one can keep playing the objective by following orders or following squad leader if they keep switching them on whim and game doesn't have squad leader spawning meaning squad will be spread out a...

I am sort of loner who try to play objective and work as a team while being muted (language barrier and personality issues). Sometimes I just give up because can't find squad leadership and start playing on own because no orders are given or followed. It's playful idea for me to "roleplay" in military setting of Battlefield so I am not personally goal orientated to my stats or it's secondary thing and rather boring.
I hope to get real life friend to play Battlefield with me when crossplay becomes a thing so there's a squad foundation between us. I also hope that Discord becomes available on consoles so we can keep things on private.
Thanks the the comm rose, there's really no need for mics, and if I find a decent teammate that understands objectives, how to use the comm rose and passes out ammo or health, I send them a GG message and friend request, I don't care about k/d, I like the cohesion of a good squad. DICE removed the lauguage barriers by enabling the player to communicate via the game itself. between team/squad messaging, and the mini map suppling icons, all the information is there for an informed squad/team to coordinate, support and win the game, no verbal interaction needed. Cheers

On console experience is rather isolated most of time because there's no text chat and players don't use commo rose often. Neither do they always follow orders or give them. Mostly random whimsical orders are given making it impossible to follow them systematically. Always being in wrong place in wrong time 😕
It's mostly full scale Anarchyfield ™ : players going their own way. Funny thing because armies rely on strategies, cohesion, tactics, co-operation etc. but community seems to be playing fantasy version of one man army edition. Maybe it reflects our disconnected society 🤔
- @Teal_Pipo_Fredo BF veterans are becoming rare, but there are a few players out there discovering the joys of a real battlefield experience. The "popular" shooters are very basic in design and playability, My son plays a lot of that one game with a Gulag, and does pretty well, but when he decided he was going to "show them how it's done" with his buddies on a BF4 server, they were quickly overwhelmed by literally everything about ten minutes into the match. So we backed out, found a fairly empty server and I conducted BF4 basics 101. The great thing about BF4 is once you find a niche you like, you can learn and improve on that style of play. Most game are run and gun, that's a recipe for respawning in BF4. I hear rumors that BF6 is going back to the BF4 type formula, so hopefully we can enlist more players into the community to learn the ropes before ^ drops. A good squad of randoms is rare, but it feels great win or lose, when all your perks are unlocked and there's 4 green names at the top of the scoreboard. Anybody feel free to send me a friend request, I play forward recon, carbine/c4/spawn beacon. I don't like sniping, I like to be in the middle of the action, so anybody playing assault is sure to get revive points. GT same as Forum ID. Cheers.
