Conquest in 2042 is boring. I spend more time running around the map looking for fights compared to actually having gunfights. With 128 players breakthrough was chaotic, but there was never a dull moment, because you were always in the action. Now the best game mode is gone. The rationale for removing 128 player breakthrough is entirely BS. You are never going to have a "tactical" experience playing 64 player breakthrough with random squads created via matchmaking. Lobbies with actual tactics and strategy is only seen in military sim communities and clan matches. At the very least offer 128 player breakthrough as a permanent featured portal experience for those that still want the experience. Since Dice likes removing advertised game modes, they might as well remove Hazard Zone from the game since nobody plays it.

While 64 player modes and versions of maps should continue to be added in the upcoming seasons, I also believe that adding 128 player modes and versions of maps should also continue. I enjoy the 128 player options because it gives me (personally) a bigger Battlefield type experience. I also think it gives a bigger battlefield vibe in general ( of course better map design needs to happen i.e more cover, destruction, etc). As previously mentioned, I do believe that 64 player modes and versions should be added to give players options who like both modes.

I cant believe it...it is, by far, the best mode and where you can find all players in Battlefield and they remove it... i dont know what to say, it has no sense

I was playing and supporting this game all the way from beginning, kept playing even when game was bugged as hell. And now i have to leave it until B-128 is back. There is no fun for me in other gamemodes.Deleting popular gamemodes to force players into less popular ones is definitely not the way to save this game.

@protoman23 I want my * refund.

That is all I play is 128 players. Couldn't imagine going back to 64 players.

Agreed. I enjoy these big battles as well.
I believe reducing, or eliminating, some areas can be helpful with memory issues in regards to a 128 game as well. There are just too many areas in maps that are never used.

@acousticxero It does make me wonder what all they had to leave out of the game because of the 128-player count. If they made everything 64 going forward, but actually offered better detail, design, destruction, etc I'd trade it 10x out of 10.

@acousticxero I would be perfectly happy if they removed ALL 128 player modes. I only play 64 or less player modes now.

Ok I’m glad that you like 64p but why are you willing to remove an option that players like (no matter how many player or little players there are). If you don’t like 128p then don’t play it.

@acousticxero I’d like to see 128 maintained in Conquest, however Breakthrough is better in 64 in my opinion. That’s just my opinion, and you know that everyone has one 😉

And that’s fine, I’m just saying have both 64 player and 128 player options for both Conquest and Breakthrough so that’s that everyone is satisfied.

@acousticxero 128 players is the #1 issue with 2042 and the cause of almost all of its worst problems

Future maps should be designed with 64 player modes in mind and have 128 as an option for people.

@SpudBug Game runs way smoother on 64 that’s for sure. Servers just can’t handle all the traffic. At least in conquest it’s more spread out, while in Breakthrough all the action is concentrated and seems to stress the servers way more. The idea of 128 is fantastic, they’re just not ready for it.
