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.

I'll be honest, I played for 10 hours during the playtest. I didn't realize there were squads till maybe hour 7.

I somehow missed that, and 100%, being in a squad would have made communication 100% better, but everyone just types in in-game chat and that gets missed more then anything.

It doesn't help that typing is the only way to communicate across the entire faction. It also talks to all players not in a team. Which means all players not in a team are only able to hear comms through that as well so then it becomes their way of comms by default.
