I read that there is matchmaking to ensure you can queue with three others to get in the same squad.
Does this mean that we are going from 5 person squads in BF4 to only 4 person squads now? I really hope not.
It would be really nice to have a game that uses lobbies. Everyone can see which servers are going and just join. Matchmaking is a broken mess for the first few months in all the recent games.
if dice are reading these forums post i would hope there would be 6-8 person squads, having a squad limit equal to the amount of classes is irritatingly constrictive especially for above 5v5 gaming.
i half agree with the lobby system, if i understand your post correctly a group would load a server browser together and vote on which server to go on, these in session join-able servers should be separate to complete matchmaking servers seeing as one style favors map and game mode choice and the other favors player balance
i’m not too bothered with a 4 person squad but the option to have 4-6 would be nice…could be overpowering in large game modes if a great 6 man squad dominates other squads with less players? i’m thinking in terms of 6 players spawning off each other could be hard to ever thin that squad out and take an objective if you are a squad of 4. regardless of squad limits what i want to see is a really good balance between the classes and i want to have a hard choice between what class to be…in BF4 i used engineer way more than the rest!!! support was my least used class by far! i want to have a real need and reason to use each class and it would be great if that meant each squad member has a role to play and there isn’t 4-6 man squads of all engineers or assault lol just a thought
They have stated in an interview (don’t remeber which one) that it is 5 man squads.
I’m pretty sure it’s 5.
*Fireteams
It should be four people, if the player count will remain the same as always. It’s sickening to be left in a fireteam of only two people (including me). . .
WTF Server are way bether than a Lobbie system… Go back to COD pls.
I hope not. More friends in the squad would be a lot more fun!
From what I’ve heard WW1 “squads” typically consist of 8-12 people, and of course more when it comes to trench action. That’s not gonna happen of course, so it’ll probably be 4-6 players per squad, HOPEFULLY, if DICE does it right, and balanced.
Honestly I would prefer 4 man squads again. Even if it’s a pain when we get that extra 5th guy
32 divides evenly by 4, and 5 man squads are kind of broken in that someone is always spawning on someone.
5 players squad confirmed.
