EA and DICE have been making waves since Battlefield V was announced a little while back. The reveal trailer was a bit divisive, and a lot of other details they revealed for the title have been either exciting, or head-scratchers. It just depends on what camp you fall into on it. Questions still remain though, including how certain classic elements of the Battlefield series will translate into the newest title. One of the bigger questions is about multiplayer, and how Squads will be affected.
For those who don’t know, Squads is the term used for teaming up with friends or other people to do a multiplayer map or event. EA and DICE confirmed that Squads will still be around, and they’ll be very important:
“There’s one key thing to know about Battlefield V: your squad will be more important than ever. Staying close to your squad, communicating with it, and playing well with it – this will all pay off. To facilitate this, you’ll be automatically placed in a squad when jumping into Battlefield V (though you can leave it if you want). We’re improving the communication options, so regardless of where you are – in game or in a loading screen – you’ll be able to chat with your squad mates.”
So EA and DICE are working hard to ensure that communication is as good as it can be in Battlefield V, very interesting. Another way they’re emphasizing the need to stay together is by offering more options to bring a teammate back to life:
“Bringing a downed team mate back into action with a revive has always been an exciting move in Battlefield, but for Battlefield Vwe hope to make this action even more intense – and personal. One key change: the non-Medic Classes will also be able to perform revives – if they’re dowe one squad mate.”
These changes and more will definitely add to the Battlefield V experience.
