Exodus Soaking Up All the Players
I'm gonna be honest, I don't really like Exodus Conquest, but sadly it seems like its the only mode at times that people are playing on. Breakthrough modes only seem active on the first day of a new ...

@Moab23funny, Exodus is currently cycling BC2 Maps, Arica and Valparaiso ( as always ), BF3's Noshahr Canal, 2042's Breakaway, Exposure, Kaleidoscope and Spearhead.
So that's 7 maps playing as 64 Players across 3 era's.
How many maps did we get with 2042? By default 7.
Whats your argument here? I have played all 7 Exodus maps today. you just seem to get the crap end of the stick.
General Consensus is, 128 players is pure chaos, too much Spawn>Die>Spawn>Die
these map sizes are definitely not 64/64 compatible. now, if we had maps like BF2 Era, say Wake Island, Kubra Dam, with FAR more open space...... oh, 128 players would be GLORIOUS. Kubra Dam was soo large it took you nearly 50 seconds to a full minute to fly a jet across it.
@AOD_CapStar362 Again, never singled out 128 players as a preference, so I'm not sure why everybody is taking that angle. And yeah, I do get the crap end of the stick, which is why I don't like it. It runs through Valparaiso, Arica and Exposure for me, all the time. Valparaiso wasn't adjusted for jet aircraft either, so if you end using them, you can barely get away from any AA lock.

That i will agree with, but until DICE fixes HOTAS support, thats a + For me :D

You have below radar. Adapt and overcome.
Your take that exodus is a problem to be offered as an option is pretty self entitled. You want a mode that many people enjoy to be taken away so they will be FORCED to play the maps you like. The level of selfishness in that view is astounding.
- @Moab23 true, it is bugged.
and @Psubond makes a point here - you are acting very entitled because of the CHOICES the players are making to which mode they enjoy over other modes. so, you want to strip my enjoyment of Exodus 64p modes along with the popularity of it to a majority of players because you cant play 128p regularly.
sorry bud @AOD_CapStar362 Yet again, never mentioned I preferred 128 over 64. Dunno where that's coming from, frankly. Player counter is not an issue for me, its the map rotation favouring older maps for a more limited BF game that at the time lacked features of the full games.
- @Moab23 because the player count of those modes are why people are flocking to the mode.

We can only hope (for those religiously inclined maybe even pray) that they don't remove the Exodus playlist again today.
Please, Dice, KEEP EXODUS as a permanent playlist for us to be able to enjoy the good maps as well. @AOD_CapStar362 Okay, but people keep saying I only want a 128 player mode, which I never said. Its not the player count, its the map rotation I'm bothered about.

other people are bothered when exodus is taken away. why is your opinion and map preferance more important than those who like the old maps?
@Psubond How long has Exodus been in the rotation compared to all other rotations? On that note, why are the preferences of others more important than mine then? They're old maps. We've got new maps, most of which have been changed up for the better, and we barely get to see the majority. That people clamoured about there not being enough new maps but wanting to only play a handful of old ones speaks volumes of how fickle the player base is.

well, when vanilla AOW was up and exodus was up and people had a choice they picked the one they liked. you got mad because they didn't want to play the maps you wanted to play.
i think all options should be available at all times and people should play what they like. i think advocating to REMOVE the option for any of the modes just so you can funnel people into a certain map pack is wrong.
Exodus back in the main rotation and as always, nothing else is being played. In fact, Exodus is barely being played. Monday night, Breakthrough and Conquest were near packed.
- @Moab23
Exactly, the vast majority players definitely want to play Exodus Conquest. It is really beyond me why they think removing a mode that players enjoy is a good idea.
MAKE EXODUS CQ64 a PERMANENT MODE!
Well, and maybe fix the number of vehicles on the older maps as they are say twice the number those maps can handle. @ForumUser I wish they removed it more often. There's far better engagement, and better experience, when Exodus isn't the option. I see more people playing the modes when its out of rotation than when its in. Over the weekend and Monday, you could get a match on conquest or breakthrough no problem. Since Tuesday, with Exodus returning, nothing is playable except Exodus, and there were a lot of bots needed to fill the server.
