    How many members per squad?

    Anyone know? I keep seeing 4, 5 and people screaming for 6. Anyone know the exact number?

    Six would be awesome!

      I've heard 5. Not sure how accurate that is though.

        6 would be great. With just 4 sometimes your squad would get wiped out and you had no place to spawn except back in your base. More in squad, better chance to have better tactical position. Unless you got a bunch of snipers out on the perimeter.

          Yeah the game will only have 6. Games like Orchestra 2 has 10 squad members and the recon has his own squad.

            Phantom, is 6 members per squad a confirmed number?

              Crap, I meant to type 4. It was 4 in the BETA and trust me, dice won't change it.

                4 might be a little small, might end up using TS more then the in game voice.

                  Oh come on... that is just plain stupid. Four player squads, in a 64 player server, with no commander position, is one dumb decision. DICE needs to stop attempting to compete with CoD.

                    one thought is that now you can spawn on each person(plus 4 reacon beacons) it might have created an imbalance with squad spawning. But we will see what happens in what a week?

                      You are right. I had forgotten completely that you can respawn on all squad mates instead of the squad leader a-la BF2.

                        Yeah, I was thinking about that... Just imagine the strategy where a squad starts completely as Recon on a Conquest map, place mobile spawn points, one at each flag location (out of sight), and then as these points are persistent after changing class, then carry on the whole map with instant access to each flag. I think it could either be a grief once people start doing that or brilliant with squad play, even with only 4 in a squad.

                          I hope that this cheat for lack of a better term gets nerfed. Though I am unsure how it will work. Personally I think the spawn beacon should be for squad leader to place <giving there really a reason for it> or should be for the recon member only to use not the squad.

                          This would allow you to still spawn on the recon unit if he is in the area. Also believe that if you change from recon it should not be able to spawn on it.

                          How the coding is written and what happens we will see.

                          I have as a squad leader in metro used this to a great advantage and took about 30 kills to figure out we were spawning behind them in the tunnels.

                            4 would be OK for games that are 32 player... 6 would be better for games that are running 64 people.

                            Obviously though, they wont adjust it this late in the game.

                                I have been too busy to play any games. I would make time for CainsLair games though.
