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

Don't agree.

Hell let loose go up to 100 and it's good. Because the overall gameplay design and especially map design was made using a brain.

Which isn't the case for 2042 which could give the impression that 128 can't work, well it could, they just showed  they don't have the skill to do proper 128 game design

I like Hell Let Loose, but it is a fundamentally different style of gameplay than Battlefield so it's kind of hard to compare the two.

128 player games in BF2042 just feels too chaotic and random although that could change as other aspects of the game are changed, I suppose.

I agree with you the maps are certainly chaotic at times.

I often see 3 helicopters over the one flag and yesterday I actually saw three condors on the small B1 flag area on Manifest map.

128 players may work on a map designed to allow better protection for infantry and bigger flag areas.

 The design of the current AOW maps,  coupled with small flag areas and  the large amount of vehicles in BF2042, it does get a bit hectic at times. !
