All of my friend have been getting back on 2042 after the update and we have been having loads of fun. One problem we have is that there is 6-8 of us playing at once and we can't all be in one squad. Some suggestions:
Link squads where for example alpha and beta squad leaders can team up to receive pings and orders / colors and keep track of each other. Revives will remain to your first person squad but maybe a third color is added for your sister squad.
Increasing squad sizes also may be helpful.
Another suggestions is having a friend in game color where any ea friends you have on your list show up differently whether in squad or not.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey @pur0drl0k0,
I am very happy to hear that you & your friends are having a lot of fun playing the game! Likewise, I have to say.
What you've described is indeed very good feedback and I can indeed imagine that in some situations, a squad/party of only a few people doesn't really work out if you've more people where you want to play with than there is space for in the party/squad.
I've been chatting a bit with a few people, who also happen to be massive Battlefield fans, and while it is no proper solution, maybe the following method can help you out a bit like some sort of a workaround:
(Please note: it also does seem to work in All out Warfare, but once the match is over, players will be moved to other servers, so it's most ideal for Portal games for example.)
Feel free to let me know if this has worked out for you or not.

There should be no issue with them increasing the party size for the game. The matchmaking seems to be similar to Battlefront 2. However in battlefront 2 you were able to stack an entire lobby with friends if that's what you wanted to do, and the game would then break the party up into squads of 4.

DICE have so many options to fix this;
After all this time it is frankly bizarre that this hasn't been fixed one way or another. Like others, this is a key reason why my friends and I don't get together to play 2042 very often because there are usually 6 of us, we can get together in Portal, but depending on the mode, that doesn't always give full XP rewards.
I wish they would rename "party" to squad too, that's what it was always called in the past. It's like DICE are trying to pretend it's not a wargame! PlayStation calls its chat group "parties" so it's just confusing.

Yes I realise this but its important to admit and for people to remember that this is something that was removed from BF.
It is also something that should have been added soon after release.
This is not the first time a player has brought this up.

Thanks, I will try this tonight.
As you say, it's a workaround, but I hope DICE recognises the need to provide a real fix for this problem.
Making the party size bigger would instantly solve this issue.

your work around works but not as well as we like, just like everyone says, you're waiting in "Q". since the upgrades and patches most of our teams/ players have returned to give this another shot. Having to try to join everyone in a room takes time and kills the mood for all of us. Please find a solution for this issue. we are loyal fans; everyone has thrown away Call of duty that's how loyal we are. have an option where we can add several squad groups to enter a room together and rejoin the next room together. 4 per squad is fine, just keep sister squads together also. This game has so many options and modifications that, like others have said, " it bizarre" that this is still an issue.
thank you
