BF4 Partying/Squad Formation ?

I couldn't find the possibility to form a party in the menu prior to joining the game. I heard that option isn't available like BF3.

Any idea if this is true ? and how we can form a party prior to joining so we end up on the same team /squad.

its true. your fiends/party has to join your server and you can go from there, but unfortunately nothing can be set up pre match.

I hope they add it in the future.

thanks for the replies, I don't understand why a core feature wouldn't be included, even since it was included in BF3....

I like Battlefield 4 I always like to form as a squad so that we can all win as a team
