Do you think squads will be important in BF1?
I don’t think squads were as important in BF4.
For starters, there was a time when gamers were not automatically placed in squads. Gamers had to specifically find a squad to join.
Then, there is the issue of allowing gamers to lock squads before they are completely filled. With a finite number of squads, it was conceivable that some gamers would remain squadless even if they wanted to join a squad. That’s because all the squads were taken and locked while remaining less then full.
There should be a way to kick a player from a squad if he is the only player in the squad.. you can sit in a transport heli seat and repair it and get squad points when there is only one player in the squad. I think squads should have to be full for squad points. Not sure how that works in BF4 because I rarely play it but in BF3 you can scam squad points.
There should be a massive incentive (points) to play with your squad. I get so tired of playing alone, in a squad. Even when I play with friends I see squad mates at the other side of the map. What people keep reffering to team play should start with your squad. If squads are dumbed down in bf1 I may well give up. Look at swbf…
Yes, there should be incentives to play with your squad.
But gamers who have no desire to play with their squad, simply won’t, regardless of the incentives that you offer them.
It’s the same issue with increasing points for playing the objective. Gamers who want to play camping sniper will continue to do so, even if you were to offer them 1 million points for capturing a flag.
Some people have no sense of teamwork. I play solely for fun, but I understand teamwork.
Neither me or you two are “right” but I do have a LOT of fun playing as a proper squad. It’s a shame that some people will never ever experience the true potential of the game, and it’s all there in front of us. That even includes commander.
PROPER squads are a lot of fun.
Squads ARE fun when they stick together.
But that rarely happens unless you play with friends or are a clan member.
And most squads in BF4 are locked and not even full anyway.
Best game I ever had was spent in a transport chopper in firestorm (bf3). 5 of us (yeah I know only four man squads) came top of scoreboard. I was pilot mainly and one guy got over 50 kills as a gunner. So many laughs they couldn’t kill us regardless of stinger spam!
When I play bf4, which I rarely do now, I’m in a proper squad. If our team isn’t full of people that think they’re invincible, we win convincingly.
Add me I’ll play with you 
I did. You deleted me. Lol
I’ll readd you though. It was my fault. I was acting stupid. :-/
Oh the like spam lol… I’m on PS4 too now of you want to add me there too
I added you on ps4. I’m not on a lot anymore. If I can catch you on I’ll join you though.
82?
Yes sir
look forward to a game but my PS soldier has no unlocks really…
yeah this is where the in game score board could help if it added squad assists, revives, repairs as a tally too or best squad in the scoreboard and maybe be able to toggle the scoreboard to a vehicle related scoreboard by showing pilots, drivers, gunners etc to create a bit more of in game competitiveness between those classes during the round.
I just enjoy playing. Let’s do what we can!
Whatever it takes. I can think of loads of examples of things given to us by dice which the average players are oblivious of. They literally gave us easy win mode if we just use what we have!
