This is something I've never seen discussed, and I've not thought of it untill recently.
I know there will be names for outfits, but can you give squads names? I have seen no information regarding this, and can only assume the answer is no. I can think of many uses for this, to name only a few:
1.) People who don't want to join/make an outfit, but still would like to make a temporary group and dub it with a cool name. Or even people who are already in an outfit, but want to give their squad a seperate name, Ex: Hamma's Hammers. Hamma is in CDL but he created an outfit for the beta. When the game is released he will join CDL and will no longer be able to use that cool name :D. If he could name the squads he formed then he could use that every time he creates a squad.
2.) To quickly show an important snippet of important information, or to identify a specific squad easier (especially if the squad was part of a larger group/platoon, so the organizing commander(s) could identify/communicate with them easier). Ex: Gunuku Defenders, Eadon Attackers, Left wing, Attack squad, etc.
What do you guys think? Would naming squads be very useful? Or would it just be mundane/unnecessary?
