Playing together with friends is discouraged in BF 2042

Question

The current squad size limit of 4 players can be inconvenient for groups of friends who want to play together. When there are more than 4 friends online, it becomes challenging to coordinate and join the same team. While we understand the need to prevent unfair advantages, it can be discouraging for players who want to enjoy the game with their friends.

To address this issue, we suggest increasing the squad size limit to accommodate groups of 5 or 6 players. This change would allow more players to team up with their friends, making the game more enjoyable and engaging. While we acknowledge the concern about unbalanced gameplay, we believe that a moderate increase in squad size would not significantly impact the overall balance of the game.

We hope that the game developers can consider this suggestion and find a way to improve the gaming experience for players who enjoy playing with their friends. Thank you for your attention.

@Noctif3r I think there will be squad management improvements coming. Whether that is increasing squad size is yet to be determined.

Don't think I have seen anything which resembles a coordinated squad in 2042Squad leader is irrelevant outside of another spawn point. This game just wasn't built to be a squad based tactical shooter

@Noctif3rThis was discussed several times already.Having a squad size of &gt;5 is bad from a gameplay perspective as those squads are hard to impossible to wipe to clean up an area/flag. So I say 4 is OK, 5 might be better, 6 is pushing it (too far IMO) and &gt;7 would be a very bad choice.What is definitely needed is the ability to create bigger parties with all players that want to play together. They should then be put on the same server of course when MM is started. For us, a party size of 10 would be enough. But I don't think there should be any limit as far as party size is concerned. But what is also needed is of course squad management tools in order for those players to rearrange themselves into the correct squads after they are finally on the server. But at least this was already confirmed to be on the horizon for S5.
