It also creates the foundation from which everything else is built. Using a buddy revive mechanic, you can get your friends back in the fight (though a medic does it far faster), which, when combined with the other traits and advantages, provides every bit of incentive to call commands, follow them, and cooperate as a single entity. If you stick together, however, you can pull one another back from the brink of death, even if you aren’t a medic. If your whole team is wiped out, you’ll be forced to respawn back at a base, or a captured point, so it’s important to keep at least one member safe while everyone respawns. You can also spawn near surviving team members to give you a quick boost back to the front to re-engage the enemy faster.

As a Squad Leader you can call out orders to your team members, and if carried out, you’ll gain access to requisition points that you can use to unleash the most powerful weapons in the game, including the brutal V1 Rocket and German Sturmtiger tank. Your Squad has several special functions that make it more than just a small team. To encourage team play, you’ll be able to pair up with four of your friends to create a Squad. It’s probably best to start where the developers did – at the core: your Company, and your Squad.īattlefield V supports 64 players in its massive maps, and that’s already a feat unto itself, but it’s the way they’ve rebuilt squads in the game that make the game something special. While its direct competitors are slimming down and scaling back, the team at DICE is going bigger, broader, and somehow better than ever.


It’s hard to know where best to start with a game like Battlefield V.
