Still a three friend party limit for BF6?

Reading BF2042 forums and the like it looks like the limitation of three friends (a four person party) is still there years later, even though they said it was a limitation they'd look into overcoming and something that was expressed as a desire recently when the community was asked about what they wanted from a server browser...

To be specific, since EA Connect party limit is 4 players and the 'server browser' is only for Portal, you cannot play on the main Battlefield servers with the wider Battlefield community with more than three friends.

Any more than three and they cannot join your party, so they will no doubt be sent to a different server.

The only way to all get on the same one would be using a server browser, but since EA are saying they think Portal 'solves' this, you can only play on community created servers.

So... Portal does not address this at all.

I can only imagine they want their match-making systems to not have to cope multiple squads existing on the same servers?

It can't be a technical limitation that they haven't been able to address since the release of BF2042, so what is it?

  • Party size should be increased to at least 8, perhaps 16.  This limit of four is big fail.  Battlefield is most fun when you can get all your buddies together on the same team and play together.  Why does DICE not understand this?

    Yeah, not happy with this game. Most of our 40+ clan members are not buying it because we are limited to 4 people per match. If Dice/EA are so BiG oN cOmMuNiTy, why destroy the ones that have kept the franchise afloat.

    There really should be a way to make a party of for example 8 players and being able to join a server together. When arriving in the server the squad should then be devided into 2 groups of 4. Even better would be thst you can choose your own split in the lobby in advance so you can choose who plays with who. It can't be that hard to implement... When your party is bigger then possible for the game you are joining there should be a message you can't join that server or game

    Sorry EA you might not think people have more than 3 friends but we do. Im pretty sure we were given the option in years past for more people... we all just want to hang with the boiis and play your game. Show us some love!

    Make it so we can play all the game modes just with the option to have multiple squads for a platoon even. You can keep it separated so people won't complain about pubstomps even though that seems to happen anyway. 

    Best BF game in years besides this one thing! Please let us have more in our parties.

  • I mean you can just join your friends game once they’re in, either through EA or Steam (I’m on PC), and you’ll be placed on the same team and everything, just not in the same squad. I get what you’re saying though as my friend group has 6 people and it’s rough sometimes.

    Please Battlefield Labs, please for the love of gaming, allow us to have an 8 person party that can actually PLAY TOGETHER without trying to 'hack' it. Let us all load into the same map at the same time and bum rush objectives in Escalation with our friends.. you know, the way that BF is supposed to be played; TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS.... please?..

    Yeah I know you can do this, but then you have to re-do it every match (and I find it randomly drops someone from the party every match or two as well).

    It's buggy and crap. Needs to be fixed and expanded.
