We all (well, all with >3 friends that want to play together) have this issue. Very annoying.
Usually we follow the routine of joining with the first 4, splitting off 1, the others join the 2 parties, which works (after having to queue again for minutes).
Then more often than not the players that join late will be put in the enemy team, even though they are in the same party and as soon as the player that spit off before dies, he gets also moved over to the ENEMY team.
The whole system is broken and it seems nobody at Dice has more then 3 friends, otherwise this oversight is really hard to explain.

Yep that's the annoyance that myself and a handful of friends/guys on a discord do to play together. I can understand not wanting 20 people in a party stomping the other team, but the limit of 4 is so very annoying when I am generally the 5th-man-out because I have to put kids to bed or whatever and the squad/party already started up. Which leads to me just going and playing something else instead of spending my time solo-queueing 😞

usually if friends come on and people are in a game, they just quit and we make a squad on main screen and join together. shouldnt have to be like that but it is.

No it definitely shouldn't have to be like that in a Battlefield Title in 2022,
This is a very important element of any BF game and should be addressed asap.

It is not required that you quit, unless you mind queuing for extended periods of time. But technically it is possible to create a party (or split an existing one) mid match and the new player wanting to join her friends can enter it and will be put in queue. If the server is full, then you have to wait (but it was the same in older titles, except for those of us with VIP slots on the servers we rented ourselves).
The problem comes between rounds as there are no persistent servers and you have to match make every round again with all parties. But if you synchronize via Teamspeak (or Discord or whatever you use to communicate) and all party leaders press 'Play' at the same time, you will almost always land on the same server, because luckily the game has so few servers running by now that the likelihood for this approach to work is rather high.

It just makes you wonder how many more players are doing the same as you and going to play other games, and BF2042 cannot afford to shed players.
DICE need to resolve this asap.

I can at least guarantee it is more than me, in the occurrences that I'm in the in-group we have people stop into the discord chat, ask if anyone is dropping soon, and if not they go off to do something else. We do sometimes do the split-mid-game-make-new-party dance, but it is very frustrating to do and needlessly complicated.
