128 vs 64 players
I been playing battlefield for most of my life. I always enjoyed the large scale Battles throughout the series. With 2042 With its 128 players I can say that I like the new player count. We had 64 pl...

If I can only choose between 64 and 128, I'd take 64 any day. If I can pick what I would prefer in general, then it's 48 and medium sized maps. Bigger is not better in this case -- at least as far as infantry is concerned.
On 128, even as a very good squad, you can't really make a difference on the outcome of a match and if one team holds all but one or two flags, fighting on those remaining flags where everybody zergs towards then, becomes pure chaos and definitely not fun.
This is by nature always the case in Breakthrough and for that reason they will most likely remove the 128 player version of that mode because is so much less fun.

I would like the 64 players on the 128 sized maps tbh
I want 128 players on 64 player maps

Me too. There's only 1-3 flags per sector. 64 players is more than enough for that.
To me it is strange how many players still consider 128 player modes to be better than 64.
But there are also players thinking 64 player Metro is 'fun', so I guess I have to accept that some people somehow enjoy unstructured chaos (or those are vehicle players that enjoy farming infantry on those last contested flags from afar).
Unless capture zones are the size thy are in Hell Let Loose or Squad (where 100 players work), 128 player matches will NEVER be better than 64 player versions in Conquest. It CANNOT work, even if maps are redesigned.
The ONLY way to make this work is to either:
- have a very good mid round balancer that ensures we never have the case that every action is focused around one or two flags
- have HUGE capture zones
- give a much stronger to re-capturing flags that are further away and make it possible for players to reach those flags, even if the rest of the map is held by the enemy team
But even then, having 128 players spread out far enough for this to NOT be chaotic would mean that this would then still FEEL like playing with 64 players on a smaller map. IMHO, 64 player versions are far better than 128 player matches and I would even like to have 48 player matches back on even smaller maps with clear lanes like we had before. But this might be just me.
No, it's not just you. 👍
