I'm not sure if this is hardcoded or if it has been suggested before (Couldn't find anything) so I'll just throw it out there.

I'm sure that at one point or another you've been in a squad where the SL either left or got disconnected. At that point unless your name starts with an "A" it is quite frustrating to get the role. My suggestion is put a "choose new SL" button in the manage squad tab. It will work like the kick menu but when you select someone it will send them a message if they want to be SL. If they choose yes they'll get the SL role and you'll become a squad member. This is probably "hardcoded" but what do you think?

hardcoded, and has been suggested before i think.

I'm thinking of vanilla bf2 singleplayer:
When you enter a squad consisting of bots the game asks you wether you want to be squadleader or not. Maybe it's possible to implement this system for this function, not that i have any idea about how the bf2 enginge works so maybe i'm completly wrong.
Oh and I think it's a good idea that might be helpful but the same effect can be achieved by having everyone leave the squad except for the person who wants to be squadleader and then rejoining. So it probably won't have too much of a high priority for the devs

Most SL's stay in the game the whole game. i would rather see Devs make new stuff to use then dealing with the how will be SL next issues.

Heres a better idea, ask who wants to be the SL than everyeon else leaves and joins again

It's always best to check this thread first love:

If you can't find something in a search, it was probably there in the first place. It's always better (and much easier) to do this before trying to search I find.

By the way how many times do I have to act like a n00b before I get my n00b badge? :p

If you check the game files, the Commander has a voice file that says something to the effect of "Squad Leader, you have been replaced." Is there some vestigial code to go along with this? In other words, is there already some game mechanism for the Commander's removal of Squad Leaders that could be dug out of oblivion, or was it simply not added to the retail version at all?

As I said above its hardcoded, devs cant change anything and in my mind wont spend time trying to fix a small issue.
