How many people would you like per squad?

+1 this on the official BF3 site
and this

what do you think? I think 6-8 players per squad on a 64 player map is better than 4 man squads.

six is the sweet spot to me. On a similar topic, if for now on we'll always have to deal with 4 men squads in all future battlefield games, it would be nice that DICE at LEAST allowed a few more squads per team, so squads aren't set in stone once we reach the 32 player cap.

love me some six man squad action

6 is the best. It isn't too much so that a squad bomb would rape anything, but it is just enough that you can have all 4 classes AND add in 2 other classes to further enhance some aspects of your squad.

4 just isn't good because to operate efficiently you have to have every single kit, and at times you need to be able to coordinate more than 1 of the same kit at a time...

I used to think 6 man always was the perfect number...but with how resourceful each squad is now and the style of game play BF3 is, I actually kind of like 4 man squad. maybe it's been so long since I've played bf2 and i need to get my perspective back, but imo where BF3 is now, I think 4 man is best

5-6 ftw.

**Gunny** · 01-05-12, 03:10 PM

I think 5 or 6 would be good. IMO 8 is too many to deal with in a game that doesn't have a built in VoIP.

8 man squads with a commander, 128 players and MUCH bigger maps...

+1 Anything more in BF3 is like herding cats.

I think 6 is perfect.
that way you can get at least 2 support class (Support + Medic) to anchor the team.

I can't tell you how often I run around with 4 engineers...
