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
Well, if that’s true, they’ve hidden it really well. I haven’t found it on PlayStation in the last couple of releases. Maybe they added it later in the life cycle of each release? I couldn’t find it during the first two hours I played the open beta either. If what you’re saying is correct, that’s great news!
In your situation 5 man squads do not work and I agree. I have had different experience with BF4 squads. Every time I make my own squad it fills up no matter what the only time it doesn't is when it's towards the end of the game. Also Battlefield as much as it is a team game solo plays are doable, but I do get where you are coming from. The other problem here is that you cannot stay in the same server with more than 3 of your friends after the game finishes which is absurd.
