5 is the good happy medium for a squad size, the amount of times your the fifth player to join your friends is crazy. They could have just rounded up or down the player count so you don't get odd squads.
Its a more casual oriented shooter that focuses on "team play" but won't let you join your friends or switch teams like previous titles (when teams are unbalanced and not to close to the end of game) because of stacking . It feels like EA is pushing the focus of playing the objective but no you can't do that with all of your friends you only choose 3. Oh and if your friends do happen to get on the same side, we will fully dismantle the server to seperate you, and make you painfully rejoin each other.
Big squads of sweats would be such a low percentage. There could be equally as many good players on the other side.
