Isn't the score screen also colour coded for that? And highlighting your fireteam.
Ah, spawn screen, there is a button to change roles. Click that, click "Join a Squad",... Surprise! The entire team, listed out by name, squad, and role,... How this isn't usable, I'm not sure.
You can also use squad VOIP, and talk with each other.
Squad system should be scratched, especially respawning at SL thing.
....
SL should just be a guy with a SMG, 1 smoke and bragging rights. Also removing the (more) unrealistic spawn stupidity maybe SLs could put those SMGs to work and not hide so they can teleport squad members.
It's too complicated and confusing for public servers and even after the people learn some things about this they still 99% ignore the SLs.
How realistic is it that any time you need to call in fire, you run around and find some abandoned radio that happens to be laying around!!!!!!!

Wow, big post
Of course everbody plays how they like, but for the sake of teamplay people should receive orders just from one guy and that's the Commander.
The idea of the SLs as they are now was that they will improve teamplay. Maybe they do: on clans with very very good players. On a "normal" server they don't ...
and I said why: people will listen to the Commander, people don't know that they have a SL, people don't know who the SL is, some orders from the SL conflict with orders from the Commander.
Yes, for me an SL should be just an assault with smoke.
I don't have a personal problem with the SL, I play SL and I ignore them when I play something else.
The squad system should mimic the one in America's Army. It was very clear with who was what. Currently there is nothing tying in players to their own squad.
How does that system work?
RO2 should learn a lot. No stats improvement, state of the art honor system. Who's higher in honor chooses the classes first. Squad selection clear as water. Damn, TWI learn something.
One remedy I think of for the general lack of awareness and participation in squads would be to make squad selection the default view for picking roles rather than the default of basic role selection; maybe even get rid of the role selection list view entirely except in Firefight mode.
