Battlefield 4 will feature five-man squads over the series’ standard four-man teams.
“They’ve been asking for bigger squads,” DICE producer Aleksander Grondal siad ” It allows for more team-based gameplay, it gives a bit more flexibility.”
In previous Battlefield games, DICE made a purposeful decision to limit the number of players per squad.
Battlefield 4 launches on October 29 for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
