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?

BF2 had 6 to a squad.
Conquest, Escalation, Breakthrough, and Operations could actually have bigger lobbies up to 6 players. I do not see anything against it under one circumstance. The opposite team must have one quick lobby or 2 smaller ones for proper balance. Rentable servers by Community leaders instead of quick lobbies. I am not sure about TDM, SQTDM, Domination, KotH, Rush game modes.
The function of a Squad Leader has been removed. The function of someone giving directions, leading the team, and allowing other teammates to spawn in safety was removed. Obviously, this function shines in the hands of a skilled player. The squad leader should have a rally point with basic ammo and meds, ask the commander for UAV, Supply Crates, Transport Vehicles, Artillery Fire, Smoke Screen, and Airburst. Without it, BF is just mehhh.
Battle Royale should stay true to its formula. With up to 4 players in the quick lobby. Solos, Duos, Trios, Quads. Heavy vehicles in BR are something I am not a big fan of tbh. Proximity voice chat - it is a part of the fun.

Do not turn battlefield into COD or you will lose your market to someone else.
BF6 game has been crafted by the CoD devs, what do you expect? Another fully fleshed out BF???
Man, I remember those days when 8 of us stacked to join one server that we used to have in favourites. 4 man lobby is really bad.
