When you join a game and are the squad leader cold there be a prompt? Perhaps where it says "stand by... Triage in the area", it could say "YOU are the squad leader, issue orders". Also when you join a game itll say who your squad leader is. |

I agree a message prompt would be a lot easier to notice, but I believe currently if you are assigned squad leader that there is a green dot next to the team/squad chat icon on the right side chat bar? I may be mistaken, or it may be there all the time when you are in a squad? |

I actually think like Battlefield it should show your Squad on-screen somewhere.
I mean it really is kinda vital information:
[Squad Leader]
[Squad Member]
[Squad Member]
[Squad Member]
It also has icons next to the names showing what bonus they're providing to the Squad (single bonus per squad member) along with greyed out when they die, which they could have say the medical icon next to their name if they recently died / asked for help.
War is often about quick and up-to-date access of information.
I mean simple things such-as defaulting to a Spawn Beacon near your Squad Members (if no one has a drop uplink on) would make sense to allow you to get back with them ASAP. |

maybe when the game starts, in the first 10 secs if there are more than 2 people in a squad it should prompt you if you want to be a squad leader.
Their is nothing more annoying than a dormant squad leader.
Also raven has a good point, leave the squad members on the screen. it makes comms so much more efficient |

I really want to see squads like that also activate it for voice when they are talkiing. like the symbol we have now. |

I like that idea but i also don't like it. If it shows your squads names on screen it could add clutter to the HUD. |

i like ravens idea and as for the clutter most games you can hold select to collapse the player names |

I think there's a few old threads requesting a squad list on screen, but yeah, a squad list on screen is extremely valuable for several reasons.
A squad list on screen could give information on a lot of things such as a squad leader icon next to the squad leader, showing who's dead or downed, mic icon next to a player when he's talking and it's also helpful if a player in your squad suddenly disconnects (or leave), as you can see that he's missing in the squad list instantly. You don't always see it on the killfeed and you certainly don't check the current squad list in the chat window all the time.
In this case, a squad leader notification probably wouldn't even be nessecary, as a quick look on the squad list will tell you if you're squad leader.
The problem is that there currently isn't room for it, as we have health bars in the bottom left corner and ammo bars in the bottom right that takes up a lot of space. So CCP will have to redesign these before we can get a squad list. |
