Thread: One thing that Bad Company 2 definitely got right.

So, Battlefield 4 maps are often a clusterfuck of squads doing whatever they want going wherever they want, oftentimes accumulating into a vast zerg.

Bad Company 2 did something USEFUL in one of its later patches, where it put a number above the 3D icon for each flag for squad leaders. If the flag had a x1 on it, it meant some other squad has already assigned that flag as their objective. If it had no number, no one was deliberately going for it. If there was a x2, it meant you should REALLY pick another flag. This saved me, as a squad leader, SO MUCH TROUBLE, since I could weed out the flags that another squad was already trying to handle, as well as know when I need to assist a flag that is holding back one of our squads.

Battlefields 3 and 4, in the infinite wisdom of DICE, decided that that function wasn't useful and we haven't seen it since.

hmmm ... I like the concept ... if only we had a commander to do this ...

Of course, I'm being sarcastic. I agree with you Allane. It is clear to me and many other that team play and effective communication are not things that DICE takes seriously as a key feature of BF.

I forgot about that! That's a good point! Silly DICE.....
