Can't play multiplayer with friend on battlefield 4

How is it that you can't play multiplayer with your friend on a game that focuses around 'community'? This seems like an absurdly HUGE oversight. I spent 30 minutes talking with an advisor last night...

Say two friends are looking for a server with a minimum of two player slots free.

In BF4, if you find a server with only two free slots and you want to join, you either have to:

  • 1: Sit and say "ready, set, go!" and press "JOIN" at the same time. This might take a bit of effort, considering how many servers there are to choose from, and it also means you might end up on different teams.
  • 2: One of the friends has to join a server first, while the other friend sits around waiting to be able to press "join friend". What sucks about this is that in the time between the first friend joining and the other friend being given the "join friend" option, the remaining slot might be taken up by another player!

Now, can you imaginge if you want to play with more than one friend?!😕mileyfrustrated:

In BF3, these frinends would alreday be in a "Squad" in the "Lobby" and when one of them joined a game, they'd all be joining more or less at the same time, reducing the "risk" of these ANNOYING problems to a minimum!

DICE, EA, PLEASE LISTEN: WE NEED A PRE-GAME LOBBY!😕mileyhappy:

    BTW, I am playing BF4 NOW, and issue number 2 just happened to me -_- My friend got in, and by the time I could press join all THREE extra slots were taken up -_-

    Now I realise the server he joined automatically popped up on my screen, but still - a PRE-GAME LOBBY would be immensely preferable... This sucks.

      Hey at least you can get on a server. I haven't gotten past the blue bar yet despite trying probably 20 different servers since launch. And moreover, I can't  start Campaign unless I'm offline in Origin, and so my stats and unlocks never appear. What's up with that? Huh?

      Indeed, this game needs work.
