Will this feature be available on all modes?

With the return of modes like Big Team Battles, the mark system can have a lot of disadvantages as well. Players can become toxic and spam this system to annoy others in the popular 8v8 mode. However, it makes sense for the developers at 343 Industries to implement it for squads especially for the new Battle Royale mode the game will have.
