Battlefield 6 Party Size Limitation - Concern and Suggestion

My biggest concern with Battlefield 6 is the restriction on multiplayer party size. Currently, the party size is capped at 4 players, which matches the in-game 4-player squad size. While I understand the gameplay is centered around a 4-person squad, the main issue is that when you have more than 4 friends wanting to play together, there is no way to ensure you are all in the same game or let alone the same team. This fragmentation is frustrating for larger groups and detracts from the social aspect that makes Battlefield so enjoyable.

My suggestion is to increase the maximum party size to 8 players while keeping the squad size of 4 players. When a party of 5-8 players joins a match, the game should automatically split them into two squads on the same team. This way, larger groups of 5+ can ensure they are all playing together and coordinating, even if they are divided into separate squads once the match begins; all while keeping squad gameplay balanced with the intended 4-player squad size.
