Squads are a must for any Battlefield game (apart from Heroes )

+1 for squads. Why all the hate for squads? - they were integral for BF2's gameplay. I guess not many P4F players got to experience the magic of old-timey battlefield gaming... (and don't get me started on what BFP4F has in common with BF2, it's pretty obvious).

The point of squads, and not the assault class' reinforcement ability, is that you have the ability to squad up with people you want - not just some random noobs who spawn on you.

Squads are definitely one of the best additions that can be made for this game. Makes the gameplay more personal, and team based. Compared to how it is now, everyone are spreading around, some running to the flag one after the other.


Okay it's not too bad as it is right now, but playing with friends is a pain at the moment. And a squad option would totally eliminate that pain.

On another note, the ability to go prone would be a nice addition as well. To crawl around in the grass, in tight situations. Or just lay down for extra cover. Other than that, we obviously need MORE MAPS.

But that will be added, so that's awesome.

yeah, same trouble with my friend, and coordinating with skype, but is too boring, bcause I have to wait for free slots in the same team...

You know, you said that you take all good things from all BF titles. Yes, but you didn't add the BEST thing from this glorious FPS series, that raises teamwork which is 100x katalyzator of fun for all game branches
SQUADS
"Assaults request reinforcements yoda yoda jedla soda" IS-NOT-A GOOD-ARGUMENT for not adding squads in game Squads WILL improve teamwork, squads WILL make this game more original, squads WILL improve this game! Who agrees? Oh, only 90%? Such a pity.

(Anyway) Proning would make this game like foolish Camp of Duty. I would add it only if you could'nt shoot when laying on the ground.

I tell you developers: "Support teamwork by all you can!"

Agreed.

Squad is a must for full-experience and good-teamplay.

Although this game "is" from battlefield 2, it's gameplay is "TOTALLY" different just because of one missing feature; squads and commander.

People play fps games for a reason. Battlefield as it has 'been' was because of squads and teamplay.

Playing my first games in battlefield online, it just feels like ordinary Call of Duty action, but with a capture point. No teamplay at all whatsoever.

-Squad is a must for battlefield online. Just delay respawn a bit longer like in the regular battlefield 2.

Well it's pretty much like this: 1 team... 4 squads that means 4 player per squad and the total squads in the game would be 8 squads... and those squads would have to cooperate with each other and the other squad on the same thing would cooperate with their own squad so it's not just 16v16. Squads are a feature in BFBC2 that gives players more team work and coordination by having the other squads support this area and having the others attack another area. It's like splitting the whole team and equally defending or attacking flags. Without this the whole team just goes around gets flags and when the other gets captured the team runs to it and over and over again.

+1 Exactly.

*On the side note, I'd love to see some new maps with 50v50... that's if of course the squad has already been implemented...

[St0mpy]

i dont know why the resistance to having it as a main mode choice

they dont have to impliment a commander, they dont have to add voip, they dont have to impliment a full squad commo (but attack abcd would be nice) - just a key for squad typing and a key for the basic squad commo and the squad page added like bf2- its all under the covers anyway, just has to be themed and arted up

the only thing i can see to fiddle with is spawning on the squad leader- this can either be left to the squad itself to hire assault to do it- or have some kind of tier 3 spawn on me ability available to all.

what other problems are there?

Then I'd rather play CoD if that's so... BF was 'suppose' to be different... I very well had hope not. There's no true feeling of team play so far whatsoever without squads like in BF series.

Well, BF2 tells it all about team-work with squads.

-Squads; squad-mates can respawn on squad leader's position. Squad leader can also set out destination point for its squad to follow. That's really about it. That alone makes the game "way" more tactical and changes the experience gameplay hugely.

-Commander sets up radar-detection, squad-orders, bombardments, etc.

Commander is a 'whatever' deal. Squad is a MUST...

There's not true friend-gathering in this game until there is squad. Even if you all play in the same server, you're still playing solo-action.

[CropedFrag]

There could be squads indeed. Or at least, show friends on your team as a different color, so you can easly recognize on HUD and minimap.
But if there could be a squad system that would be cool to, your friends are not always playing.

Also, as stated before in this thread:
Prone would also be cool. I already lost my count on the number of times I got killed by an APC in the middle of nowere just beacause the best thing I could do to hide was crouch and be a sitting duck... In a real "battlefield": You hit the deck! SO let us hit the deck, duh!!
