Battlefield 2042 Loses 128 Player Preview Matches “64 Player Is More Tactical”

Since today, Battlefield 2042 has lost the possibility of making Advance matches with 128 playersthus now the Conquest mode is the only one that can allow games of two teams of 64 players each.

The reason for this decision is that DICE defends that this game mode is more fun, and tacticalwithout twice as many players, thus avoiding the chaos of 128 players and adding greater importance to squads and individual players, something that had been significantly reduced due to the intensity and chaos of combat that implies having 128 people playing simultaneously.

“When we reviewed Breakthrough, we found that the 64-player version represented a more tactical experience,” said DICE.

“Reducing the number of players here helps remove some of the chaos from the experience, and combined with the reductions we’ve made to the number of available combat vehicles, it means players are better able to hold the front lines more quickly.” efficiency. Players will also find more room to work together and fulfill their individual roles.”

It is likely that the decision is also motivated due to the difficulties to fill the Advance games of 128 playerssince there is talk of queues of up to 10 minuteswhile in Conquest mode there is no need to wait.

At the time of writing, in Battlefield 2042 there is barely 1,201 simultaneous people playingwhile the highest peak of simultaneous players in the last 24 hours has been 1,800 playersso basically the game has lost almost all players, not to mention extremely negative reviews on Steam with 73.51% of the reviews classified as negative.
