I know what would make BF great again

...I think

Having started back in BF2142, not 2042, 2142, loved BF3 and One as personal favourites I keep asking myself why does every other recent battlefield miss the mark?

I feel like its quantity of players, Liberation Peak would work if it was 32 players, 16 per side. It would instantly stop the endless meat grinder of kill and instantly be killed. 

Every map in every mode has about twice the players that would enable a snafu of tactics. And thats what BF is missing in recent years, space to create tactics and squad play. Currently its endless twitchy kill, die, repeat. 

Players need time to breathe, find the flow of battle, currently there is no flow and definitely zero breathing space. 

How can anyone flank, set up a position tactically or PTFO if it feels like your in a crowded pub from first spawn at HQ through to the final ticket being taken? 

Netcode would probably be a lot better with lower player count too...
