Still No talk on Bigger Lobby like 8 to 16 for 128 players match is apaling Dice

Dice as not yet adress what is a very huge concern for everyones i know .. We still are stuck into 4 players max lobby even for the 128 players match games . Back in the days 4 to 5 players squads were still to small and the bare minimum to be able to change the outcome of a game with friends and peoples you know willing to play as a team and work on the objectives . 

Dice still made Zero effort to make a 128 players game feel more teamplay orriented and gave us ZERO options to be able to team up with 8 to 12 even 16 friends for a 128 player game is kinda laughable .DIce need to wake up . 4 Players squads can be fine if we CAN QUEU with 1 to 2 others squads of friends to be in the same game and same team without creating servers with admin switch rules that make the game totally unfair .. 

We need lobbys of 8 to 12 even 16 players its not even 1/4 of a team of 64 ... so Please Dice wake up ! Give us Lobbys of 8 to 16

  • Agreed @Stew360 ,

    But EA obviously built this game to be everything else but a battlefield game...!

    All game architecture appear to be designed around making HazardZone the squad-based BR-mode cash cow for EA, then they obviously considered that 4 soldiers was the right-sized squad for their R6S Specialists and the skins you are to pay for, to make them all look different.

     

    That we now are force-fed a Tarkov/Hunt showdown with 4-person squads is maybe OK.

    EA, go ahead and make it. 
    But don't call it battlefield!

  • @Stew360  this and that what @CyberDyme is saying I can agree both.

    We need a "higher Squadsize" as soon as possible for "All-Out Warfare" and Portal mode.

    I would like to see a maximum squad size of 8 or 12 (for last Gen and as option for Current Gen / PC) or 16 (for Current Gen / PC only).

    When this is not possible may the options to link "Squads" up together (visual) where each team squad leader has to agree to give hand the lead over to one person.

    On Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) you was also able to create a squad with 20 Players and it worked very well.

    @Stew360 I think bigger parties would go in a totally wrong direction. They appear to cause more issues than solving them. At the moment they look like you can only join a friend when there is room in their party and their squad, when they are in game. And I also believe that you can't leave squads in game because of some weird static relationship with your party and squad.
    This may be DICE's attempt to hinder communities to play together on the same servers.
  • Totally agree. Got 6 friends and counting who own the game. Wth do I do with a 4 man squad with those numbers?

    @CyberDyme hmm, no?

    Portal is the most clear sign about real BF, and the leaked server settings are already better than the last 2 games

    looking more Battlefield than before...

    you can skip Hazard Zone and specialists forever if you want now, nothing "force fed" at all

    @ronson122 Two 3 man parties and when you join a match you get a squadleader from another platform.

    @R1ckyDaMan19 Can't post that here, but check Twitter, one of the best positive info I've seen, and it was not the full feature either...
  • Can check the Battlefield 2042 main game page for an overview of Portal

    Also can check out Ea play live BattleField 2042 videos on youtube it gives some small custom match examples from some creators

    just throwing it out there cause never know who has read or seen these things.

    Sorry @m1k3ol ,

    But you appear a bit off then compared to what I wrote myself...

    I am totally onto Portal, absolutely!   I even repeatedly praise that as the only thing truly still potentially giving us a classic BF experience in this next game...  (yes, I did not like BF1 or BFV much either, but most of all previously, absolutely)

    But I wrote that we are force-fed the 4-man squad size!   That is a fact.   And that is coming from EA's primary drive on the Hazard Zone cash-cow setup, uniquely and entirely with Specialists!  Like it or not, its force-fed upon us.   That was the subject for this thread, the squad size.

    So yeah, as you say, we can skip Hazard Zone.  Great.

    But we are still force-fed the 4-man squads.
