: Also, you should make sure people understand that in order to play BF3

Battlefield's party system is weird, and kinda shitty for this kind of thing. You can only party up with four people, but you can have other people join your game, though they won't be in your squad, and there's no guarantee that they'll be on your team. If somebody has a rented server, we can control who gets in. Otherwise, games fill up pretty quick, and it might prove difficult to get everybody in one game.
