A change to party lobbies

First off, this game is amazing. Honestly the most fun I’ve had in a FPS since BF1, however no game is without its faults. The devs have done a great job listening to community feedback and I hope this is also one they take on board. I’ve encouraged so many of my friends to purchase this game and to their surprise they’ve loved it, however here in lies the problem.

I’m almost certain I came across another reddit user with this idea and is no means original, but many voices are better than a few. For game modes like conquest and breakthrough I think the community would benefit from creating a party lobby of more than a squad of four.

I think for some of us that are fortunate enough to have more than four friends it’s too difficult to play in the same lobby on the same team at the same time. I strongly believe BF6 would benefit from a ‘Platoon’ party lobby. According to military doctrine a platoon is comprised of at least three sections - or in BF6’s case a squadron - and I think this is a missed opportunity for these larger player based game modes. Having a Platoon commander in charge of three squadrons, with each squadron having their own squadron leader makes so much sense to me and it mitigates the issue of wanting to play with more than four friends.

I propose a Platoon lobby option is created to enable inviting more than four friends but no more than 12 into a game of conquest or breakthrough. And to those of us who don’t have more than four friends. I think the BF6 devs could also introduce a sub-tab under ‘recent players’ titled ‘frequent players’. The frequent players tab would enable users to see who they frequently play with on these servers and if for example you played with XxSniperLordxX more than 5 times, they become a frequent player enabling you as a user to socialise with them and potentially make another squad mate. Almost like BF6’s own internal discord server.

I don’t think a PL lobby should be created in CQB lobbies but I mean, in call of duty we can have between 6-12 friends in a lobby with ease, and I don’t understand why we can’t do it in BF6. I think it would also make the in game voice proximity even more fun too. Keen to hear thoughts/improvements to this idea!
