It's much like CS 1.6 Russian walking/crouch hopping. Banned from many public servers that are filled with players who have mediocre at best aim and have no idea how to use it to their advantage. Russian walking is technically banned in leagues too after three hops, but most players only actually used it for a few hops anyways.
The AWP is banned in many public servers, as well because players are too lazy to learn how to counter it. You need to stop comparing public servers and pub players who are clueless at the game they play. A clueless pub player never learns how to counter anything when it comes to the mechanics of a game.
The fact that DICE continues to listen to these exact same individuals is why the game is constantly changing and not for the better. The gun mechanics were fine on release, a few viable guns is all you need. The rest are just fun guns.

I wish I could talk to my squad at the very least. Like hey, got a chopper, i need a gunner. Need an engineer to remove the tank at B, sniper at the antenna, etc.
I understand many people are now using teamspeak on their clan server, but I suspect a majority to be left with no team communication whatsoever and that is sad for a game based on teamwork.

This is true but not every squad you get into will be filled with the ragers/kids etc. I'm willing to bet that many times you're in a group of people that are mature enough and willing to cooperate without offending each other but you'll never know because of the lack of VOIP.
For a game that pushes cooperation over Lone wolfing and Ramboing it should have voice chat no questions asked.
They should just add it. Options are nice to have.

Partially this, but also offload pretty much all the stress. This allows Game Server Providers to have much lower prices, which normally equates to more servers. If they were to have done a 64 player server with a server sided hit detection, and server verification, that server would be more expensive.
haha.
The default network settings in every single BattleField game has been for the most part terrible. They set it for players with bad connections as a default, and only those who are use to messing with config files will know that they need to change the network settings to optimize their experience.
