Nobody likes a clueless squad leader. I see two options:
-
At the start of the round, the first person to click a button to opt-in becomes SL. This might not be entirely fair due to loading speed.
-
Randomly select a SL, but show them a popup at the beginning of the round. It would look like the server rules popup, and would outline the abilities of a squad leader. There would be a click-hold button to opt in and a button to opt out.
In the in-game hud, the SL should be highlighted among the list of players in the bottom left. Additionally, when a spawn beacon is broken, the SL should get a text or icon notification.
