Record low player count
So looking at Steamcharts, which is the best representation we have of overall player count, in the last 24 hours the game has reached an all time low, not even reaching 3000 concurrent players. ...

@JarskyPlays Really, you point out Valentines day, as a "record low"?
If you look over the edge, you may see the Valentines day impact across all kinds of games.
And this happens every year.

I am on the US West Coast and now the servers are launching with mostly bots and handful of players at the most. I am talking about the two main game modes too.
The state of this game's beyond embarrassing. This thing's done!
- @Pekmez-Pita I’m in the same area as you and I can’t even get into a match.
Yes. Sitting endlessly at the "Waiting for players to join" portion of the game even though this shoddy thing has build in bots. Waiting several minutes at that screen just so i can be placed in a match with mostly bots and hardly any players. That's what happens when you don't have persistent servers.
This game's riddled with oversights and ways to annoy the crap out of you even if you still have a desire to play it.
Just pure incompetence. Through and through!
- @Pekmez-Pita at least you get games starting, i spent 2 hours yesterday afternoon queued trying to get a game, i gave up like most days for the past month. In other BFs I would use the server browser to play on US West Coast or Singapore

Please explain every other day's low player count?The general low player count is a BF2042 issue, that has nothing to do with the Valentines Day, but to point out a day, that always shows a drop in player numbers doesn't make this a strong argument.
Removing Team Death Match every two weeks is awkward for a first person shooter game that needs more player engagement. TDM has smaller 16x16 matches that fill more easily 24/7 and it also has three times more maps than the 128/64 player modes which helps keep it fresh.
So what is the point in removing a mode that can fill with actual human gamers and has an acceptable number of maps in rotation?
