Squads For Team Deathmatches

Megaguy2:
I think this has been requested before. Basically,

When you spawn, you are notified that the server is running squads, and of the / commands to use. When you type in /squads You get a list of all squads currently available, and how many people are in them. Max playercount on a squad should be around 6, but maybe it should increase depending on playerlimit and how many people are in the server. You can from there create a new squad with /newsquad *name* or join a squad with /joinsquad *name*. Please note you can also go without a squad, but not form private ones.

Squads work like this. If you are dead, you will respawn near any members of your squad, but only if they are alive. If all members of your squad are dead, you will respawn from a team respawn point along with them. This enforces group tactics, and multiple squads can quickly storm large maps from all angles in a team. If you are the last surviving member of a squad, You will get notified of their respawn time (This should also be instant respawn) And should get out of any firefights so they can spawn alongside you.

Possible Issues??:
Squadmates could spawn in walls. Put in some wall detection.
Put in height detection too, so that players in a squad in a helicopter or a plane won't get spawned in midair, but rather the floor.
Possibly make it so that players in a squad respawn inside a vehicle with their squadmates. Dunno if this is a thing you can do, but...

Feel free to post any  possible issues and also say if you support this idea. I really really want this, as I think It'd add a ton of strategy to big team dms. Imagine something like jorgur's dogfight with this! It'd be awesome.
SWAT One:
Interesting concept, though something about it makes me feel uneasy.  I don't know what.

Maybe instead of spawning around them they spawn right exactly where they are.
Operator¹:
you should only be able to spawn on your squad leader

Maybe make this an rtb pref.

Might be a little disorienting but it works. Good idea.
