If you’re wondering when DICE is going to allow you to meet your squad-mates in a private lobby and ready for deployment in Battlefield 4, then you’re going to have to keep waiting. The developer has responded to a fan query about the same and confirmed that pre-match squad creation won’t be coming to Battlefield 4.

“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.”

Fans are criticizing the approach though, saying that it’s not working out that well. What are your thoughts on the same? Let us know below.
