Could be so easy, just a 64 player mode with exodus and following maps:

At least I used to.
Now it's PS4 all the time. 128p maps never clicked for me.
Imho you really shouldn't have to do that in a Battlefield title, you should have permanent access to your favourite mode.

Agreed with you all !
What still puzzles me is why EA/DICE even put any resources at all into dictating to their customers what game maps and game modes now they want us to be restricted to play on???
Why even spend one single split second of valuable developer time on building constraints in the game and limitations for the open free choice of their paying customers to seek and enjoy the type of map and game mode they may individually prefer now to be entertained by?
As if the developers would not have any other topics to fix first???
(Hint: please check the ever escalating bug list and missing functionalities. Legacy or not...)
As very successfully demonstrated in previous BF versions with a server browser, then the player population truly enjoy the transparency and choice across the various servers with different maps and game modes currently active, and its visible to all if they are like squad vs squad 5vs5, 10vs10, or maybe 32vs32 or 128vs128, And what maps are popular and populated and which less so. And which game modes are popular and which less so.
But darn EA/DICE,
Leave all the contents available in the game!
So it is always there and let the player population take care of the rest, with a free choice to go where they prefer at any point of time.
Enough of that silly and resource wasting autocracy and manipulating dictatorship!

Good post that sums it up perfectly. 👍
Let all players get whatever fun they can out of BF2042, that's what they bought it for after all.
Agreed on all your points.
If i go to the cardealer to buy a car and says "I want all the included premium furniture, sound systems etc" and i will pay for it.. The next day i get the car delivered and being told by the cardealer that "Oh no, u cant have it all at once, you have to come back in next month to be able to have the sound system, and the other month after that to get 1 car seat in premium leather".
GIVE US 64 PLAYER MODE PERMANENT NOW!
Dice: W8 a minute, u can have 64 player mode, but only as a "feature" because why use a gamemode that made us famous from the start?

Great analogy by comparing to buying a car @UP_Panzerpaddan ,
Though it would be more like this, if buying a car from EA/DICE:
You see the great advertisements for the next new wonderful car coming out from this franchise dealership, so you place a pre-order for it. And you pay the premium price to get the one with all the options, bells and whistles!
But come delivery day, you do not get a car like what was shown to you in the advertisements.
You get a 2-wheeled scooter with a dysfunctional sidecar. The sidecar was explained to be the biggest new thing, but quickly you all agree its probably better to dismantle it completely and try and drive the scooter without it.
And now as some additional components are arriving in slow drip speed, for you to finally assemble what was originally ordered as a full fledged car, you get excited because now finally it may actually after all become... a car!
But but...
The car was promised to be able to hold 128 liters of petrol, but now suddenly the vendor puts a hard restriction on it with a cap at 64 liters only.
And more inexplicable restrictions are suddenly appearing.
Like this week the stereo is working, but not the aircon or the GPS navigation at the same time.
Then next week the aircon is now working, but gone are now the stereo and all the favorite stations you had already programmed on it.
And the GPS navigation? No, that has not worked at all so far.
But the vendor has said they will setup and conduct a closed loop feedback with all their customers on it.
No sign of that though anywhere anymore to be found...
As far as car analogies goes it seems to me it would be more like
”you can have wheels today, and next week an engine but no steering wheel and in a month you can have seats, but no wheels”….because we think that’s what a car should have, in that exact order, to have fun like.
Personally I abhor the kind of thinking that goes down this route of control. This should be reserved for very specific and special events, not core legacy game play modes.
Another ill thought out strategy to add to an ever growing list of bad strategic decisions.
love all the car analogies! Keep em coming until they make this mode permanent!
We want permanent 64 player gamemode dice.
Indeed, 64P CQ should be permanent as it's a lot better than 128P CQ.
DICE really need to keep it simple and agree on a set of PERMANENT modes that satisfy the demands of the community.
All this weekly chopping and changing is not working, players understandably just want to play their favourite modes.
