Substantial research showed that 128-player battles just aren't fun to play!

@CyberDyme I like 64 players but I think that Portal servers should be able to adjust the player count above 64. For example I love 64 man close quarters in BF3 but many don't and prefer lower player counts.

That being said we all know why 128 players was chosen...because Warzone was doing it and EA wanted some of that sweet sweet Warzone action completely forgetting that if a Battlefield player likes what COD is doing they're probably already playing COD and play Battlefield for the Battlefield (not COD, not Apex) experience.
