Allow larger parties to queue up.
Need to allow more players than 4 to lobby up. Also bring back 5 man squad.

A 5-man squad doesn’t make sense. 64 players / 2 teams / 5-man squads = 6.4 squads per team. This means there will always be at least one incomplete squad. And without proper options to leave or join squads, that’s not what you want in a squad-based teamplay game.
Same goes for Breakthrough: 48 players / 2 teams / 5-man squads = 4.8 squads per team. Again, there will always be at least one incomplete squad.
Doesn't matter in the slightest. The fact that it worked perfectly in previous games speaks for itself. It baffles me why you would even touch something that did not need changing. 5 man squads should always be a thing.
I have to disagree, I mostly play with randoms. Let me share my experience.
I’ve played way too many Battlefield matches where I was left with only one (sometimes two) other squadmate(s), someone who didn’t play the objective or engage in any kind of squad play. This left me playing alone, with no option to leave the squad or join another one.
That simply wasn’t fun, even though I still liked the game. It often resulted in me leaving the match and losing all the XP I had earned for that round, just to try and join a better squad in a new match.You can actually join a new squad in-game. It’s lazy to stay with a crappy squad all game just because you got auto-placed
5-man squads would work. Tactically, it works for squad play. It's much easier to flank an entrenched opponent or assault a fixed position with 5 players on the same comms. Drop 64 to 60 players, and the math works just fine.
Tbh, that doesn't really matter. I don't remember seeing the option to create squads while in the match and also being able to lock them, but I think that's something that should be added. You will always have incomplete squads, and as I mentioned, sometimes you just want to be two players in a squad from time to time.
Like there’s not going to be a 2 or 3 person squad rocking tanks and helicopters each map… lol
That's what's great and makes Battlefield fun. If you have a whole squad running heli/jet and/or tank, you can coordinate like crazy and dominate.
