How are a bunch of friends(5+) supposed to play together on Battlefield 2042?

@MM_Newbob71Our platoon has generally the same issue.
What we to split into multiple parties and pray to Odin that the game will not split us between different teams.

First we get one party with 4 people in.

Then one or more split off to create their own party and get the rest to join us via the party system.
