I still think it's an excellent game, but not always great for playing with a group of friends.
Squad sizes being limited to 4 people made it tough to work together with 5+ people, yet smaller numbers often weren't enough to change the tide of the battle if we were paired with lousy teammates.
It also become harder and harder to find Rush servers as time went on, which is my favorite mode. Conquest can be fun with a small group if the server has a good rotation, normal ticket count, normal vehicle spawn time, and doesn't run "large" maps with a 32 player cap. That was also tough to find.
We had some great times, no doubt, but I don't see those annoyances changing. CS:GO has made it much easier for a group of 5 of us to play together without having to hop around servers and fight with trying to get on the same team.
I guess. I don't see CS:GO as any better, because a lot of times I'll log into mumble, and be the 7th person on to CS:GO. At least with BF3, there was a chance I'd get in via premium que or map change. With CS:GO, I never stick around, because its a guaranteed 35 minutes for a round.
Not hating CS:GO because your other points are definitely valid... just longing for the days of many-man squads.
