Re: What is the 'right' player count for Conquest in a Battlefield game (128 or 64)

@DuaneDibbley Conquest 128 ... Conquest 64 is plain boring

And past BF never had the scale of a true Allout wars ...

32 and 64 players are for rush , TDM modes or small maps not for conquest

    If I think back to the older games the most Maps played better if the server wasn't 100% full. I think the sweet spot was between 40 and 50 players.

    Except for some giant maps with way more flags like bandar desert. 64 was ok there.

    So for 2042... Idk... at the current state the player count doesn't really matter. After the map rework I think the 64player mode will be the better way to play and 64 would be ok here.

    64 is the absolute maximum. As an organized squad you want the ability to turn around a game when joining on a losing team. On bigger sized maps you have no control over the game and have to rely on... lets face it: the public casual player. In addition, randomness with 64 enemies and huge distances (none wants to play walking/driving simulator) will make 64+ sized games pure frustration. IMO, if you play squad and for win, you prefer smaller games. When you play on your own, its probably "the bigger the better" because of more easy targets and free kills.

    @iamwienr Not at all as a individual player you cannot change the outcome of a 64 players or 32 player match who previously got stump on by the other team .. No different for 128 players

    This aint 12 vs 12 bad company 1

    The problem isnt 128 players .. 128 players is awesome in conquest .. the problem is that we dont have big enough lobby .. Since BF3 went back to 64 players ... in bad company 1 squad was 1/3 of the team then 1/4 then in BF4 if already went 1/8 of the team now its 1/16 of the team with 128 players ..

    We need bigger lobby at least 4 squads of 4 so we can have 1/4 of the team willing to work as a team matching up with friends or allies willing to play as a team 4 players lobby simply dont cut it ... in MAG on ps3 we were able to have 32 players lobby to get into 32 vs 32 match , 64 vs 64 player match , and 128 vs 128 match and it was really good we had lobby of 4 squads of 8 that we could use matchmaking with and matchmaking took seconds to start games

    @Stew360
    1st: I said losing team not a stomped team. There is a difference. Please don't exaggerate just to have an argument.
    2nd: I said squad hence 4 players and not individual. I can name a dozen PC clans who can and regularly make their side win with a 4-man squad. And actually, I could probably name 5-10 PC players who can change the outcome of a round on their own. Seen many times. (InB4: ... no gaming chair needed).

    But if you and your friends are not able to be a game changer in a 64 player game, how are you going to make 2 or 3 other squads following your plan and orders to win a round?

    PS: no references to other games plz as I have no idea what you are talking about. Since more than a decade I spend all my gaming time on BF exclusively.
