WolfHunt, I completely agree with you. when it comes to Freemode or even hanging out in the Tower, you should be able to join your friend's fireteam. Freemode is capped at 16 players so if you so desired, you should be able to set up a private session (or something like that) where you and your 16 friends can play together. If Bungie caps everything at 3 players (other than multiplayer) I think it'll be a huge mistake.
