Fair enough, I'm hoping they are gonna turn it around but to be honest it's getting harder to see a scenario where that happens.

@RayD_O1 i haven't played the 128 player battles (i refuse to pay a scalper for a series X and i don't have time to camp stores/websites so i am on xbox one) but for the most part i think the 64 player count breakthrough is good. i do think that the maps could use some work though because a couple maps are basically spawn traps for the attacking team (looking at you renewal and discarded) if the attackers aren't VERY aggressive.
