Squad management has been fixed for final (Thank you!)

In short answer form, yes you can browse and join squads through the squad screen and make private squads. The full form will be available later.

They couldn't have possibly not done this, especially with the way it was in BF2 and BC2. I'm so thankful it's not being managed in Battlelog like people kept saying.
 
Not to argue FOR the image but at the same time if it is false why not put something up stating that the image floating on the internet is false...doesn't help your image any.

Probably didn't need testing or just wasn't included in the alpha build at the time, who knows.

^This...its the only part of the game that's been here since day one (kinda) no need to test it when you've been making the exact same system for so long. Now if they changed the system somehow then ya

I don't know man .. The fact that it took so long for him to need to clarify it with the team, and the fact that squad management wasn't included in their original "Beta to Final Fixes" tells me that it may not have been on the list of things-to-do till the recent outburst of upset gamers. They wanted this Battelog thing to be the center piece of BF3, and so they wanted everything about the game to go through battlelog - including what squads you'd be in.

I'm glad they finally listened to what we wanted, but, I'm guessing if there wasn't such a rage about it, we would've never gotten it.

Nothing is perfect, especially in the structure of code. Everything can be fine tuned, everything can be enhanced, and everything can be implemented. I believe the coma rose or squad system wasn't the major factors of bringing this alpha into beta, but finding unknown bugs/glitches not found in-game; consisting of: model stretches, animation jerking, camera misplacement, sprites not attaching properly, and core coding revisions. They probably knew about a quarter to half of those bugs that were submitted anyways. Besides, patches and updates will be frequent during the initial release of BF3, so changes will not be to far from the public's attention.
 
After about 23k+ posts on facebook, EA, battlelog, twitter, etc... Im pretty sure they got the picture that we wanted the squad systems back, but they could'nt just put the hold on all of their other pieces just to fix the squads. thats probably why it took a while for them to bring the news forward about it
 
Yeah, but...you know....they still need to fix.......that thing....you know.......


Um.....ORIGIN IS SUCKS!

*raises hand for high fives*
 
Just to let you guys know, this is the official word in the FAQ...

HOW WILL SQUADS WORK IN THE RETAIL VERSION OF BATTLEFIELD 3 ON PC/XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3?

Since the Open BETA we’ve added more advanced functionality to manage your squad. You will be able to browse and join specific squads through the squad screen. You can see all players that are in a specific squad as well as who’s playing as lone wolf. As a squad leader you can set your squad to private as well as kick players from the squad.
