I genuinely love AoW

And the massive battles it brings. I've been very critical of 2042 since release, but I firmly believe 128 players and the massive warfare it brings is a step in the right direction for Battlefield, its the most fun I've had in a Battlefield title.

I understand that specialists are here to stay and I look forward to the rework (hopefully into a class system) alongside improvements to the maps.

For future battlefields, I hope AoW is at the core. Alongside a class system without the specialists. Now that for me is a perfect Battlefield.

So well done on the patch Dice, I feel no reason to play other Battlefield titles anymore. I look forward to future updates, see you all on the Battlefield!

  • I'm glad you are enjoying it.

    For me, 128 player breakthrough is a mess and the 128 player maps would be better played with 64 players.

    Agreed with that, 128 has just been such a cluster with seemingly zerg-like movements of people going from point to point.

    That's a shame, 128 player breakthrough is currently my favourite mode. Not sure why I love the chaos of the massive battles so much but I do lol

    Much agreed @Noodlesocks ,

    Though sad as those geographic large maps could and should have catered perfectly fine to a 128 player mode!

    But the culprit is simply the much cheap discounted bare-bones scraping the barrel version we have now of all the BF2042 maps...

    They are simply barren of contents and empty for any soul or fun across the vast majority of the geography they stretches across.  So at most we just have a few hundred meters around/near each contested flag zone where we have some contents to use for strategic gameplay and exchanges with our friends and foes in the game.

    A real downer for us that have known the greatness of many past BF games and epic maps in those which cater to endless variations of battle strategy/approach and long lasting fun...!

  • @AJ_Clickz if the game was having better performance, better balance and map design it could work.... but DICE overtook themselves by a metric pentaton....
    i doubt frostbite can really handle that many players... on top DICE downgraded theri server infrastructure from 60HZ since BF1 back down to 45HZ so maybe we lost too much for simply a good PR line
