Four Man Squad or Six Man Squad

Well I know this is not one of the biggest deals but in some articles we have heard of there being a Six Man Squad as where most of the screens and other articles lead us to believe it will be a Four Man Squad. What do you all think?

As much as I'd love a 6 man squad, I think it was just a typo... so I'm going with 4 man on this poll.

You probably are right. But I like the idea of having a squad of Six instead of the usual four plus it means more classes.
One with Hacking Device
One with Motion Tracker
One with Welding Tool
One with Sentry Turret Kit
One with Explosives Kit
One with Ammunitions & Medical Kit

That would be godawesome. I'd probably pick the Hacker or the Medic.

I read that when Sh0dan made the new MP ideas thread. Great stuff there.

I think a 6 would be to unwieldly. You'll be getting into RTS areas with that.

But for multiplayer it'd be good if you could have up to 6 or 8 on a team (and the number of bugs increases as a result).

For multiplayer that'd be great, but in campaign I'd like to keep it at 4. There's a girl on the team, yeah? That's already exploitable... in fact, even if it were all guys...

In the campaign you need to strike a balance between functionality of your squad and how manageable they are. 4 would be a sensible number.
