I have been reading the Q/A over at http://www.fragworld.org/frag/brink/fragworlds-brink-qanda-with-richard-ham.html and something came to mind after reading the answer to the question concerning no lobbies. If I want to play with all 8 of my friends, how can we ensure that we all stay together? For instance, in other games you form a 'party' or 'squad' that is rarely split up and you all automatically join the game that your leader chooses. How will this work in Brink?

I also read in an older article about 'fire teams' which seems like this exact thing but it is limited to only 2 people. Does anyone know anything about this functionality?

Anyone?
