Hazard Zone - Bring back 12 Player Start
Originally Hazard Zone required 16 players to start the round, then about one or two months ago Hazard Zone only required 12 players to start a round. The 12-player start was great for players that ...

I appreciate that the minimum player count in the lobby was lowered to 12 from 16 (EDIT: this returned to 16, please change it back to 12!). However, sometimes there's still quite a bit of a long wait to reach that threshold, as many players drop out or the population may be low and/or we must wait for players to join from another HZ match/server that's already in progress (up to 15+ min).
And, once we reach that minimum player count, players must wait an additional 60 seconds in the lobby before the match "begins", where you're next taken to the specialist selection screen (taking up another 75 seconds or so of mandatory wait time, which in this case is understandable as the game is locked in and ready to go so it's not a huge deal).
Please decrease the lobby's "starting" countdown timer by at least 30 seconds.

Community ManagerHi all,
Thanks for the feedback. 🙂
Passing it on to the teams.
- @EA_Leeuw Thank you!!
- @EA_Leeuw Thank you for passing on to the teams. Hazard Zone has been my primary game mode since last September or October. I think it is the best mode! Thanks again for your support!
- @KOT-RottenDeslok Has HZ got all current reworked maps + Exposure, or are there still some missing? I know Discarded and Hourglass reworks are still yet to be released.
As a compromise, if 12 players is too low in general, then how about a 12 player minimum to start if the total HZ mode population is < X across all servers in the region?
Once the region's total population threshold is reached, then the game should dynamically increase it back to 16.
And, that's in addition to the 30s reduction in the lobby's countdown timer when that threshold is reached.
Please man!
Also, Playing hazard games are needed to the platinum trophy! Last couple days I have extracted up 10 Data Drivers while with my team up to 30 in total, but I got no results at all! At the score board shows "no data drivers extractions" which sucks!
This game mode is awesome, it just need to be better worked at/enhanced..maybe bringing up some specific guns/gears/uniforms camouflages/skins to make it more attractive for the overall players. Skins that are only available for those getting some amount of data drives, or player kills, or IA kills, etc!
Again, it is a nice game mode, it just need a bit more attention to it I would say!
- @ParaVelho Yes, a lot on people I game with in Hazard Zone have been getting the zero stats after the round. Disappointing, but should be an easy fix.
