I have not been able to easily find an active match/server for 128-player Conquest in All Out War since the last update when DICE made the incredibly stupid decision to make 64-player Conquest the default option.
There is a great TED Talk by behavioral economist Dan Ariely discussing the consequences of basic opt-in vs opt-out systems. The main point is that whichever choice is made the default will always be the one most often selected by the super majority of people because they're either lazy or simply unaware that there are other choices available.
This is what is going on with 128-player Conquest now. Most everyone is simply queing into the 64-player version by DEFAULT. This makes even less sense considering you need more players to start a 128-player server.
The main selling point of BF2042 was the increased scale for this next generation of Battlefield. That DICE are now completely walking back on that design choice is a major disappointment, and I will not continue playing this game. If I wanted to go back to 64-players, I'd just go play an older Battlefield.
STOP TRYING TO CATER TO PLAYERS THAT CAN'T EVEN RUN YOUR GAME ON MODERN HARDWARE. (I.e., old gen console players.)
AND STOP TRYING TO CATER TO HATERS THAT WERE NEVER COMING BACK.
we could've had 60HZ servers like BF1 or BFV but no lets instead sacrafice any semblence of a functioning product for an advertising punch-line...

Wtf are you talking about. The 128-player versions of maps on Conquest have always been playing just fine for those of us on modern hardware. Never had performance issues.
I bet you were part of the nonsensical crowd complaining how this game was a running simulator, completely ignoring available vehicles and call-ins.- 4 years ago@Anarquíasx DICE, I WANT TO PLAY IN 128 PLAYERS. I bought a Playstation 5 just to play BF2042, and in 64 I prefer to go to BF5 and BF1 with a Playstation 4.
- X-Sunslayer-X4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Anarchiesx sure its my rig that is the issue:
- I run a RTX2080 8GB
- a AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-core Processor
-32GB RAM
with this in my opinion decent set up i get all the performance issues you can name... Framedrops from 120 FPS all the way down to 45 at absolutely random intervalls, inputlag is beyond playable at times and do not forget the random super-bullets...
the game runs on what seems to be 45 HZ servers to handle the sheer scale of the maps and player-base. a direct downgrade to the 60HZ we have had since BF1. but hey i am the issue and not the halfbacked playtest we are providing for DICE to test 128-players- Anarchiesx4 years agoRising Veteran@X-Sunslayer-X I mean, I literally don't experience any serious issues running the game on 128-players. It's fun. It's actually playable. If it's an optimization issue for different machines, those can be fixed. Instead they're just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
- 4 years ago@X-Sunslayer-X It works perfect on PS5, DICE already has to forget about old generation and low performance PC. I want 128 players, which is what they sold me.
And now every day and Saturday night is also WAITING FOR 31 PLAYERS TO JOIN- X-Sunslayer-X4 years agoSeasoned Ace@borroma31 if you have that much trouble to fin 128-players then that should be enough evidence that the mode is not that popular across the community....
funny how that works out eh=?- 4 years ago@X-Sunslayer-X is that before Thursday, they put Exodus conquest, the servers were full every day at 128, and today nothing. And in Exodus, there are bots. so i think there is a problem
