Go ahead and limit the way people play and we will see how that will go. Plenty of examples in recent time with Helldivers 2 and 2042, as soon as the devs start deciding what's best for the community instead of the community, it bites back and leads to the game and community dying. Just because you faced 10 games out of a thousand to be unbalanced doesn't mean that they should work towards balancing that. With your logic go ahead and limit the parties to 4 in portal and remove that limit at default so you can go and solo play on portal.
I'm not buying the game. The same thing happened in 2042. Getting a 5th/6th person into the game was so difficult that it just became "I'll sit out you guys can play" and then nobody wanted to even get on to play because it just meant ditching friends.
And the pathetic excuse that "it would be imbalanced" is such a joke, treating Battlefield like it was ever a hardcore competitive game. Battlefront 2 was only 40 players and it allowed 10 man parties that ALSO had your friends not in squad be yellow. It was perfect and there were no balance issues.
As the previous poster said, all this does is limit large groups of friends and makes them not want to play the game. And they need *every purchase they can* to make their money back. This is the EXACT OPPOSITE way to get their money back.
Hard skip. I subbed to the game pass for 2042 for 1 month as did my other 5-6 friends, and we all cancelled within a month because of the "I'll sit out" issue and how impossible it was to get into the same game. And even if you did, you had to do it after every single map change AND you couldn't see them as a unique color.
