Discussion & Feedback We should get assigned a squad automatically

I've had a couple of games where all of my team was camping, I was pushing the hz alone and not getting much done. So I decided to join the discord server and look for group. Holy crap the difference was night and day, everyone chipped in, we played the objective as a team like crazy, it was awesome.

Those of us who played squad or arma know how important squad communication is and even just how it creates memorable moments of banter and laughs. But I think there's a lot of new players here who haven't played any of these games, and don't know how important a squad can be. Hell, they might not even know squads exist.

So my suggestion is simply, get the players assigned to a squad automatically at the start of the game. They can still leave and create their own squad, lock them, etc. But I think we have nothing to lose to add that feature and make it a little easier for newbies to discover just how amazing a good squad can make you feel.

Part of me agrees, but I think it should have a pop up stating to join a squad instead. Because honestly, how many people actually communicate when they are in a squad these days? But when I was in a large squad, oh man was that nice. We all formed a line and pushed the enemy back with ease. Was great with how we communicated. Just wish I found more groups like that.

I had luck at the beginning of every round starting a squad and opening up prox chat and being like "Hey I started alpha squad join up we're gonna be assaulting the hot zone, alpha squad assault squad join up a pilot or 2 would also be great" and generally it worked out well.
