Question

Back about 10 years ago, a game called MAG, 256 players at once on a map. I played this game over and over. The accuracy was NOT what it is today, but the playing structure was amazing.

A platoon system is very needed for Conquest 128 (and if you ever want to move up from 128 to 256, well, they have already drawn a path of trials and error.

Have some platoon, 3 or 4 for Team, each platoon has 8 or 12 soldiers that are split into 2 or 3 Squad. The Platoon leader can communicate with the Squad when pressing a button or after pressing start and a button...

What this will do? Focused players on teamplay and allow for larger gatherings, where you have l 8 or 12 friends working together, not necessarily able to speak to each other at all time (otherwise it would become a mess!

Thank for putting forth your own ideas, critics and pointers.

I’ve always thought that 128 would only work if they put the community bits back into 2042.

Squad controls/ platoons/ persistent servers/ maps showing other squads objectives. To name but a few.

Anything to move 2042 away from the Hero shooter, lone wolf, COD/APEX Legends wanna be that it is currently.&nbsp;

@FlibberMeister yep that is the only way, otherwise, it is pure chaos with 64 individuals vs 64 individuals. You need groups of groups doing things collectively with that many players.

@Adamonic Part of the 128-player issues is "one squad can't do anything".
Part of this issue is, that a squad is max 4 players. So in BF4 a single squad could very much dominate the game. But one squad in a 64 player mode was 15% of a team, or 8% of a match.
In BF2042 a single squad is 6% of the team or 3% of the match.
What we need is bigger if not much bigger squads as we have now.

I like the idea, but man, they couldn't even get 128 players to work right. Could you imagine how bad a 256 player experience would be?

After this debacle, I expect them to go back to 64 player game modes.
