    On a side note:
    EA has not said one word yay or nay about this - confirming or not confirming prior to release as well as if there will be a patch when they put conquest (capture the flag) into the game.

    or just do away with the squads and keep only the teams. They should also add and option of choosing who you want to talk to in your team whether it is everyone or just the squad you joined with.

    The weird thing is...everything about this game is different from the PC with relation to comms, squads and clans.

    Why wreck a good thing? They were innovative, and this series seems to have taken a step back with regards to that.

    The game however, is awesome, I'm really enjoying playing it.

    Yep, I'm thinking a lot of it has to do with the limited number of buttons on the 360 controller. Still, that's no excuse.

    Yea...as a defender watching your asshole team mates run away from the blinking triangle started to get really infuriating.

    The smartest thing we did as an attacker was to grab the tanks and go Rambo on the gold crates.

    However, I jumped on about 20 minutes after we quit the first time and the team I was on was very receptive to what was happening in the game.

    It really was a lot of fun when your team understands and knows the objective.

    I just don'ty understand what they were thinking about not being able to communicate with everyone on your team. it is a huge map, objective based game, where teamwork is imperative, but you can only talk to 3 of 12 players, good, luck

    Big fuckup when the whole game is supposed to be about teamwork.

    From reading up on it...the theory was too much distracting chatter.

    They put in game sighting to balance that out.

    It's bullshit...I would like to see in the least a proximity chat or squads of 6 with the two squad leaders being able to communicate to one another.

    The D pad isn't even used in this game for Christ sakes.

    Seriously... just have up on the D pad be your squad, left be another, right be another, and down be all....

    you are in constant coms with your squad and you have to hold down the button to talk to other squads or all....

    it was a huge mistake and ruins the objective part of the game to some degree, when you have 3 independent squads acting independently

    imagine two squads of 6, and when attacking you are able to really coordinate awesomely, such a huge mistake

    almost unforgiveable, and needs to be fixed

    Honestly, I wouldn't even care if you could pair up squads and we rolled 2 squads deep.

    me either, but to have 3 squads of 4 acting independently of one another in trying to obtain the same goal is rather worthless and is self defeating.

    it is one of the very few bones of contention I have with the game.

    ETA:

    I wish you could do private matches in bf:bc

    The Official EA forums still have not been explained why: clan support, private rooms, bigger squads, choice of who you spawn on and a better in game communication system had been put into place.

    However...there has been some communication on the EA England forums:
    http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/b...full-game.html


    The gist is, Goodman (who is an EA Manager) says he cannot confirm nor deny at this time if these functions will be added to this game (via a patch at a later date). Although...the feedback will be presented to those that need to know for a decision to be made.

    However, the amount of feedback has been insane regarding the above points - and for EA/Dice not to address them would be suicide.

    All of the reviews have been coming back as 8s or 9s out of 10...so from a single player game stand point it's kicking ass but none of the reviewers I have read have made mention about the multiplayer and from what the community is crying out...is that the multiplayer needs work.

    They will change it through an update. COD went through similar problems an after a lot of bitching from fans they gave us mute button and fixed sniping.
