Another reason I feel 12 is right, is because it better represents real life squad size. But I hear you on the bug with teamswitch.

Only American and early war russian squad size ;) Germans had 9 - 8 men in late war.

again... talk to the servers that hacked the BF2 server memory and can allow more than 64 players. They are the ones changing squad size.

FH2 stock is 64 players, 6men squads. And we will not change this unless we officially design 128players maps, which requires us to bake the 64+ player codes in to FH2 itself.

Should we go through all this again?

 Realistic is this.

 Squad Leader has 5 men under him. When you spawn, you dont come out of his ass, you are para-dropped into the battle-zone & you have to make you way to him.

 Squad Leader has 5 8-10 men under him. When you spawn, you dont come out of his ass, you are para-dropped into the battle-zone you spawn into the mainbase & you have to make you way to him.

And the battle would be so dynamic...  ::) Like in ARMA campaign when we got rid of spawnable halftracks - most time you spent on packing into halftrack and getting on the frontline than on fighting...

Why this community gets so touchy about simple requests these days is beyond me.
Ok, so I gather that the 12 may be much, but I still feel there are usually no more than 2 or 3 effective squads ingame, and the rest are mostly 1 man squads or 2 man squads.

So I just wanted to create a way where everyone looking to join a squad could find one of 3 squads not full they can join.

In a server of 32 a side, that seems to make sense to me.

Let's not move the discussion to other things like 128server size and squad leader spawning. That is not directly related to my suggestion.

I'm just saying that larger squads than 6, I feel gives them a longer staying capacity in the field, making gameplay a tad less frustrating, while borrowing from RL squad size, and making use of player's instinct to join larger squads that aren't full... Really, i feel its good for gameplay and teamwork.

Perhaps worth testing on a 64 sized server to see?

Larger squads will make smaller squads useless - 1 big squad with teamplay can own the battlefild when there's no such quad in the opposing team... Some people simply forget that this is NOT Operation Flashpoint or ARMA and we don't have such big maps...

12 is too much. I think eight would be more than enough...
