i thing that less squad and each squad would have up to 8 to 10 people because that would make it easier for commander and no more stupid 1 person squad.

I've seen 8 people in a squad before, but that was a glitch.

6 sounds fine to me, however, if they increased that, I wouldn't complain.

There have been a bunch of times that I have been in full squads and still needed room for more friends. Otherwise communication breaks down and then teamwork breaks down too. It would be nice to give the squad leader the discretion of how many people he wants in a squad.

A proximity speech and vehicle speech that is not squad related are desprately needed. A Blackhawk pilot should be allowed to speak to the troops in his chopper and vice versa. I should also be able to tell the guy prone next to me that there is a enemy behind the barrel.

It would also be nice it squad leaders could talk amonst each other to really coordinate strike on positions. Basicly make it the commander channel.

Finally vehicle drops by the commander with small vehicles like humvees or buggies would also help.

problem is balance...if you allow 12-16 person squads then you get one person in a humvee to rush past the enemy to a flag...as soon as he gets there the entire other team spawns on him...flips the flag in 1/2 a second and moves on...would take the entire squad idea out of the game really...multiple squads accomplishing multiple tasks...

lol you can actually already do that. I saw one clan chain-spawn 12 people off one helicopter pilot para-drop by breaking the squad, reforming as 3 new squads, then having everyone join one of those squads and spawn. Never seen the Wake airfield get owned so fast.

I'd like to see the number raised to 8 or maybe even 10 but thats kinda pushing it. 8 seems like a better number because there is always those few extra people on TS that aren't able to get in.

Squad number should be limited to the number of seats of an Armored PERSONNEL Carrier. That means = 5. The lesser the number of the members of the squad, the more specialized the squad is.

I personally think that the squad structure is ok at the moent but it would be nice if it was increased to 7 (so you could have one of every class) or 8 at most .

Typical British Army infantry section is 8, just chucking in my 2 pence :)

I would agree!

Especially when your the last man standing, now you would get your entire team to spawn on you and turn the game around.

If they expand squad size then they need to expand the total number of players on a server.

For example, maybe have squads up to 9 people, but allow 150 people to play like JOTR. Of course then this means increasing map size and that means reducing action (ie. lots of areas where no conflicts occuring) etc.

So i like the 6 person squad.
