Squad management but cannot add or kick member....

[anakVunky]

its... your... basic... function.... from.... all ... the ... series.....

[Kälävätys]

Yeah I honestly don't know why they even added the whole "squad management" since you can't really manage the squad anyway. Honestly this is like the whole game in a nut shell.

why would you kick a squad member?

Make room for a friend who joined late? Kicking out someone that is AFK? If you're an aggressive rusher who happens to be Squad Leader, do you want that one camping sniper in your squad that isn't setting up spawn beacons or doing anything that is beneficial? Maybe the guy in your squad is annoying as hell and being a ♥♥♥♥? What if you're the camping sniper, you know you're not useful, so you make a squad just for yourself so you're not in anyone's way? Do you want people to join your squad, spawn near you, and maybe even troll you? If you want to be that SL that kicks people because they're performing poorly, you're free to do that too. Who said you can't?

Plenty of valid reasons to not only kick people from your squad, but LOCKING the squad from people joining.

Well you could politely ask the person to leave. Sometimes some players ask if I can leave so a friend can join, I say "yes, of course" and I leave... It's human interaction 101.

But I think we should be able to create a squad and set a password so only friends could join.

99% of the time the only response you get, if any, is "f*ck off". There's the Human Interaction 101 of online gaming for you :D

Make room for a friend who joined late?.

You can just create a new squad?

And what do I do when some random person gets placed in my new squad? Oh just make a new squad again. Oh look, another random person was placed into my squad. Time to make a new squad again?

Also, believe it or not, there are people that prefer to play without a squad at all. Previous BF games (up to BF4/BFH from my experience) allowed you to leave squads entirely and run solo. BFBC2 even asks if you want to be placed in a squad when the match is loading. I know it may sound crazy but those people exist. If some guy wants to sit back at base sniping all day which people have been doing in BF long before BF2042, who is to stop them except admins of custom servers who have rules for that?

That's a fair point, but you're also assuming everyone wants human interaction, lol. This may sound like a foreign and completely alien concept to many but, there are people out there who turn off all voice chat settings the moment they finish installing an online game. Some people even go as far as to disable text chat too. This new "all chat" feature that was added back in Season 4 is nice and all, assuming people actually take the time to go into their settings to enable it, and quite frankly some people won't because they don't care or want to deal with the friendly trash-talking between the teams.

That's great that you're receptive to other players politely asking you to make room for a friend and in general the BF community is not a toxic hellhole unlike CoD (making a blanket statement assuming everyone on CoD is toxic, just like your assumption that people want human interaction), but that's just you. How many people are out there with voice AND text chat turned off who can't hear or see the message? How many people are just outright ♥♥♥♥♥ that refuse to leave?

Not sure why everyone is focusing on that one specific example. That's the least important reason for why some is kicked from a squad.

What they really need is a working afk kick lol
I went to grab food came back 10 mins later still in match

Yes this what we do for now, and from user experience perspective this is just a workaround. I got a friends to play this game and we like to play it as squad.

But my point, this was an entirely not a new feature in all BF series and I am a long BF fans...

Today standard on how to deliver features in AAA game industry is really a concern. They even cannot retrofit existing features.

Didn't you know that kicking from the squad is TAWXICK and hurts lots of feeling?
While the same time camping 0-10 recons in your squad are completely fine and useful addition to the team.

who cares about squads when i play battlefield i only see me.

If i want to manage something i would play the sims...Sounds like a very annoying play-style and I don't care who is with me or how they play but i guess that's also why my underwear don't sweat the seat either
