@InsidiuZ Some people did not enjoy playing with 128 players, others did. I personally have had no issues finding servers depending on where you are and whether cross play is on or not plays a huge factor in that though. They may have some bots at the beginning but by the time fighting really started at the first set of objectives players had filled in. I tried playing breakthrough 64 when they first added it and it was kinda plain compared to the full version. My issue is that they are taking away something that many people are enjoying and having fun with because others are complaining about it and they can’t fill lobbies for the other game modes. If you don’t enjoy 128 player version or have issues filling lobbies that’s fine, go play the 64 player version. I can’t speak for the other tweaks as I never really found the specialist to be overpowered and obviously haven’t played with the new tweaks yet.

Agreed, there is no reason why they should be removing a feature that works and plays fine (unless the player base is so small now it can't support 128 player games...)
My favorite mode and reason for playing, and which made BF really unique, just got removed.
If they are doing it to this game what's to stop them doing to future games in the franchise? How far had this fallen since BF1942 when they used to celebrate all out chaos!
Guess this will just accelerate it's decline.
