Please tell me the reason why there isn't a CQ128 and CQ64 permanently together ?! I can't enjoy this 128 game mode constantly getting shot in the back in the side or running into a horde of enemies. I legit do not play the game and wait until the coming week to see if there is a 64 player playlist on, I refuse to play this unfun 128 players.That all wouldn't be a problem if we had a proper server browser and a server rental programm, but yea we're beating a dead horse with that..[CM - Edited for profanity]

I completely agree, These 128 player * shows are not fun.

@Sch1ll1 Well the 'community' keep asking to just be a faceless grunt with no personality so here you go, players can live out their fantasy dying randomly from all angles in the 128 player meat grinder.

BF3 had both conquest large (64 players) and conquest small (24 players) and that is exactly what 2042 needs. My recommendation for 2042 would be to have Conquest small (24 or 32 players), Conquest large (64 players) and Super Conquest (128 players) so everyone can get the experience they desire. Of course the unknown factor here that could be preventing this is the size of the current player base.

@ragnarok013 put all 3 as an option and let the free market decide which servers fill up with people and which ones get bots.

Because some quirky manager who plays games 2 hours per month sold this as a cool feature to the producers and the team spend years on engine upgrade.

Why do you keep enforcing 128 player on us ?

128p isn't my cup of tea either.
At least console offers a 64p option all the time.
Migration patterns of squids are directly linked to the existence of 64p conquest on PC/Gen5 servers.

@AngrySquid270 Only last gen consoles do.
Sadly us Series x and PS5 get 64 player Conquest on rotation just like the PC fellas.

@Sch1ll1 128 player count needs to go. It was quickly rejected by the community at large. These maps are not large enough for 128.

It should be permanently 64 players on the large versions of maps, also including Portal maps.

Then maybe as an LTM do 128 players.

With 128 players you get slightly more people trying to play the objective.

@Sch1ll1 I HATE 128 PLAYER CQ and every 2 weeks DICE says nope, no fun is not allowed in 2042 and we get forced to play 128p which plays like total garbage compared to Exodus CQ.

@Sch1ll1 Well I have asked Dice if they can explain in their podcast why they added 128 players for this game and what their view is now.

You can support my question to the devs here if you want.

PS5 and XBX can play the last gen version. It's a separate download that exists alongside the next gen version on your console.
The last gen version is included for free if you have a digital copy.
The last gen version is included in EA Play and Game Pass Ultimate.
If you are on PS5 then you should be able to download the PS4 version for free this month thanks to Playstation Plus.
At this point the only people who don't have easy access to the last gen version are XSX players who have a physical copy and do not have EA Play/GPU.
That said playing last gen has some drawbacks:
60% lower tickrate
20% worse graphics
100% dumber teammates. Yes it is possible.
