The purpose of a squad is to help each other out.

    Squad members communicate.
    They stay together.

 

Well, most of the team members stay together. The exception may be Recons, who can operate on their own and can position themselves strategically around the map. From these positions, the Recon can gather intelligence and pass this on to the other members of the squad, while taking down a few enemies.

The other members of the squad, however, should follow each other. Attacks or defensive maneuvers are more likely to succeed when two, three or four players work together.

So keep up with the others, but do keep a certain distance so that a grenade, an RPG or a skilled opponent with a machine gun do not take out the whole team at once.

 

Some tips on collaboration:

  -  Stay together! Do not be the lone wolf. The probability of success when attacking or defending is much greater if you bring one or more teammates with you.
  - Try to avoid attacking an object by yourself. If you’re alone and near a target, try to hide while you wait for help from other members in your squad. If you are the team leader, the others can also use you as a spawn point. The latter is a smart move near an object, especially if your opponents have not yet discovered you.
  - Use the mini map to keep track of where your teammates are.

4 +4 = Success

I ended up in a squad with only snipers many times. Now, one sniper is good. Two works, kind of. However, a team consisting of three or four snipers is about as effective as a hockey team with only goalkeepers. It is important to balance the mix of the classes when putting together a crew.

A squad in Battlefield 3 online consists of up to four players. All players have four multiplayer classes to choose from.

I believe that the ideal team consists of representatives from all four classes. That is, the Assault, the Support, the Engineer and the Recon likely combine to form the Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Dream Team.

The features of the Battlefield 3 multiplayer classes

    The Recon class is ideal for collecting and distributing information about the opposition to the rest of the squad.
    The Engineer can fix tanks, jets, helicopters, and other means of transport which the team uses.
    The Support class makes sure that everybody has plenty of ammunition.
    The Assault takes care of patching together all who experience an unpleasant meeting with the opponents’ weapons.

It is of course possible to combine these roles in different ways. Many players have their favorite class that they use more frequently than others and this means squads may not consist of all classes all of the time.

However, for the balance of the squad, I believe it is important that all teams at the least have both a player who hands out ammunition and one who heals, especially when they are part of the attacking force.

Some tips:

    Make sure you have good knowledge of the different classes’ unique features, and use them as often as possible.
    Learn to configure the classes. Playing on the defending team may require a different setup than playing on the offensive team. Different maps can also require you to switch configurations every now and then.
    Think about how to staff the vehicles. A tank with one or more engineers will usually survive longer in battle than a tank manned by only Recons or Assaults.
    Mix the classes in an effective way. Generally, this will be by using a Dream Team setup, but player skills and preferences, as well as specific battleground conditions, may call for other types of mixes.


Of course, gaming should be entertaining and fun. Some might argue that all this planning and strategy keeps players away from just enjoying the game.

However, the complexity of the Battlefield series makes that the game requires a little planning and the use of some strategy, so that things can be really fun. Mindless running and gunning is usually a less wise choice in these games.

Believe me, it’s much more fun to play on a squad that communicates, plans its moves and, as a result, crushes the other team.

He is right, of course, but sometimes, when the other team is owning the map, You spawn and die alot, which makes me wanna camp somewhere and snipe..But for sure, using teamspeak as a squad, and maybe havin your own channel is Key. Those members who dont get in TS really should, You dont have to talk alot, just give gameplay tip  when really needed. You dont have to be really Social... to get in, no one will create a post with your photo making fun of you...  But if you want you can make fun of me, Im not very good at this game.

Sweat the times we have been on the same squad I think you're a solid player.  It just goes back to what you said.  People need to squad up and use TS.  In BF squad game play means you're much more likely to not only take points effectively, but you might actually earn ace squad ribbons or just more ribbons in general.

Using TS  is great but lately we been getting lots of players from one game mode in another game mode channel, or even players playing another clan server in on of our specialist TS  channels, Rockape made these channels for us and we don't use them correctly, sometimes it is just chaos with lots of voices (even from opposition team)  talking at the same time, it is all well and good explaining how to play using squads but if we have poor communication it just won't work.
