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.
They never thought about how to implement 128 players into the game so every step has been a backwards one in order to find some semblance of balance to the game! Just making large maps is not enough
Should have had sectors locked in so you can only move to another sector once it is fully captured.
Limited ammo for vehicles not as drastic as BFV's tank ammo pool but enough that they have to return to base.
Limit kit selection. Insurgency sandstorm does this well. SO you have limited snipers and RPGs
Vehicles spawn at base or at captured flags
There's so many key elements that where not thought about
I rarely had a problem getting into any 128 match, but now it seems like they have purposely messed up with the 128 Conquest queue to kill it off soon. They will cite that C64 Exodus was so popular that they had no choice but to kill 128.
Killing BT 128 was a mistake. This is going to be another OR purposeful to kill the passively kill the game.
@thepuppetmaster7 You’re acting like every map in the Battlefield franchise has tons of vehicles every single match. You and I both know this isn’t true. Some maps have zero vehicles, some only have ground vehicles, and some have a good mix of air and ground vehicles.
Stop with the gaslighting.
I just wish it played more like other BF games
