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.

Molly's right. Just speak up Smith, we'll give you ETAs and you can minecraft in the mean time.

I don't disagree, but I still don't see 2 separate games containing 4 and 3 people as any different than playing BF3 on opposite teams. At least on opposite teams in BF3 there is a chance to switch over. In CSGO, you are in a match on a different server and most likely in a different mumble channel.

Once again, not arguing for BF3, or against CSGO, just lamenting in general.

we could always play WoW. I hear it supports large groups of people playing together on the same team!
