With the current player numbers the sooner we get one player starts, backfilled with AI in all game modes in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences the better, so all players have access at all times
DICE please introduce one player starts for all modes in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences to eliminate the frustrating waiting times in lobbies and allow access to all players.

In the west coast US here and feeling the crunch. Ether, I get into a server with 5 persons endlessly waiting or to the last minute of a match.
/Sigh
Very frustrating and time consuming and something that could be easily rectified if they implemented one player starts.
Community ManagerHey folks, just wanted to pop in here and let you know I have seen and have read this thread.
I've passed on the feedback here so it will be seen, just wanting to set some realistic expectations that while we may not always be able to respond to every thread, they are read and taken seriously.

@RayD_O1For BF2042 1-player start is the only way forward left to prevent the game from sudden death.
And of course, it is ridiculous that people in some regions aren’t able to play the game mode they want for more than months already. I’ve been lucky enough to be in a well populated area to keep me playing with cross play off, Now, since season seven has ended, I am getting a taste of what people in regions like Oceania and Middle East have had to endure.
I agree, one player starts are absolutely essential to have any hope of retaining the current player base.
Can we have one player starts in all modes please?
I wish we could get some EA affiliated communication on why the game is not opened up more? So why no 1-player starts, why no full XP on portal and Solo/Co-OP, why no server browser, where are the persistent servers in AOW?

It would eliminate waiting time in lobbies and allow all players access. Imho one player starts should be implemented asap.

You have a point there.

All of the above you mention would make the whole gaming experience so much more enjoyable.

These are the questions that need answering.
Just checked out some of this weeks game modes :
Close Quarters Conquest - 16 required to start
Bad Company 2 - Deja Vu - 8 required to start
Conquest 64 - 16 required to start
Control (48 players ) - 16 required to start
I was hoping to be able to get a few rounds in with crossplay turned off (EU Region), but with the above restrictions I was unable to get even one round in on any of the above.
Imho one player starts should be available for all game modes to allow all players access in all regions.
Get the rounds started I say, backfilled with AI to be replaced with humans as players join.
The fact they haven’t made this change yet - simple as it is - is yet another sign how little they care about us who are still playing BF2042.
I find it amazing this has not been addressed.
Rofl 16 players ...
Too bad, that the currently featured gamemode for the UH-60 needs 16 players to start. With crossplay off in western europe it seems impossible to start a game.
One-player-starts or a server-browser, that would allow to directly join a populated game, would definitely help and be a big improvement for the game.
Thank you. I wasn't aware that solo/coop counted for the ribbons. 🙌

@RayD_O1As i have taken most of the summer off from gaming as it is short enough here before the Bad word "S" shows up. Being from northern Canada feels like some days waiting for server to fill to required player start can take awhile (avg 10-15 min). Yes would be nice to have 1 player start and for some of you that can play with crossplay off, I wish as it has not happen since 3 weeks into the game.
One player starts would completely eliminate the wait times for all players.
It would allow us to maximise the time we spend actually gaming as opposed to waiting to play.
