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.
I have the world problem. WAITING FOR 31 PLAYERS TO JOIN in Conquest 128 when before * Thursday the servers were always full. It can't be that there isn't one more person!!
Something has been changed so that people only play Conquer 64 and then they say "People don't play 128"...and of course IT SAYS...because you don't allow it...because no one asked you for that change,
I bought the BF2042 and a PS5 just for this!!! And now I can't play 128??? DICE is doing the easy thing to improve performance, changing ground textures and shrinking maps!!
Now we play in 64 players, same as BF1 and BF5 but with bad graphics???? In Next Gen?? What are they doing????
