IMHO the increase in number of players should have never happened, it's almost like they don't want us to play their game.
Very confusing.
It is definitely a step backwards at a time when players are already struggling to play due to the dwindling player base.

Are we still getting the silent treatment about that? - RayD_O15 months agoHero

I don't know it its been mentioned, but Team Death Match just went from 1 player start to 4 player start. What are they doing? In off hours it was the only game mode available at the time I play, because other game modes need high players to start.
Maybe they want us to play portal instead is only thought.

@K9_Dexter Don't think it has been mentioned, unless I just missed it or forgotten (either is definitely possible haha). I was playing TDM solo a week or two back, so it might be new. Is it just the one map or all of them?
Gonna give it a go now.
Edit: Yep. Tried Noshahr Canals, Hourglass, Reclaimed, Battle of the Bulge, and Discarded, and they were all 4 player starts.

Not nice of them to take away the last game mode that didn't need endless waiting to start.
Why not make it a 32 player start while at it?

Sadly this is another major step backwards at a time when players are already struggling to play due to the dwindling player base. 😒
They did exactly the same thing with World Tour and several of the other Portal Official Weekly Experiences, all increased from a 1-player start to four, or more in some cases.
I still maintain that we need to get the servers started asap and backfill with AI (1 player starts), and then the AI bots get replaced with humans as more players join.
It worked perfectly well before in the Portal Official Weekly Experiences so I don't see why it wouldn't work in AOW also.
DICE please make it happen so all players can spend more time playing and less time queueing.
- ElliotLH5 months agoHero+@RanzigeRidder2 It does feel like a strange thing to do, and could potentially have a negative effect for some regions where people already struggle to find populated matches.
- Lancelot_du_Lac5 months agoSeasoned Ace@ElliotLH This is the number 1 issue for those of us outside US/EU. I will need to assure myself I can easily play the new BF before I will consider buying this game.
- ElliotLH5 months agoHero+@Lancelot_du_Lac That makes total sense to me. I'd probably do the same in your position.
