14 DAY TRIAL // DICE has confirmed that it's not planning on adding a special pre-game squad creation option to the multiplayer mode of Battlefield 4, as the similar feature in Battlefield 3 didn't work out as intended, so it's decided to replace it with another solution.
Battlefield 4's multiplayer mode is much more fun with friends and in Battlefield 3 players had the option of joining a private lobby and then search for a server into which they'll be dropped as part of a single squad.
In the new game, however, that option is no longer possible and DICE has confirmed on Facebook, via MP1st just why such a decision was made.
"We have a new feature in Battlefield where a new squad is created when a friend joins your game. You can toggle this option on or off by going into the options menu. We’re not offering the old squad join feature because we didn’t feel that the feature in Battlefield 3 was on par with the quality that we wanted to offer our players. We have no plans to add it in the future," the studio said.
As such, Battlefield 4 players will have to resort to the new solution.
