enjoy it while it lasts

[Ibrahim Sharifi.]

heard somewhere that dice stated that they are considering reducing the player count to 64 for some matches due to player complaints
if you are having fun with the game right now enjoy it
cuz its gonna get ruined by the petty losers in the near future

They should release smaller maps, 64v64 is nice, but 32v32, 24v24 are also superior with smaller map and less vehicle. We should have all those options and a filter on quick play.

A filter for map rotation as well, so that I don’t need to click cancel whenever i see Kaleidoscope…

128 players was tested back in BF3 and this exact situation happened thats why they never didi it. The performance was terrible and it still is.....It was a marketing line just like the weather mechanic or should I say the 1 tornado. Also why we cant destroy 90% of the buildings and cant flatten anything. Engine cant handle all this and it never could. Everyone keeps saying how its the same engine and it is but it has been stretched to the limit. Its old.

What you talking about, back then was Pentium 4 best PC LMFAO

To be honest i think BF5 actually looks better and more detailed than BF2042 - which is probably because of the huge maps and 128 players:

I would prefer details like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/rb6hw9/a_quick_look_at_map_design_and_map_flow_in_bf2042/

Especially the lack of details in interriors is astonishing. What is the point of having huge maps and 128 players if everything is empty and sterile?
I think the worst part about BF2042 is the utter lack of one of the main features of BF - destruction - even the portal mode seems to have more destruction ...

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about graphics. I want bigger battles and more chaos.

Even the effects are better in BF1:

Look for example at 0:49 effects are better in BF1 and the sound is way superrior.

Are battles bigger if you dont see most of the battle?

If you play 32 vs 32 and see 20 ppl arround you on a smaller map or play 64 vs 64 on a huge map and see 20 ppl arround you - where is the difference?

Can't see it happening tbf.

If anything they'll update the game mode menu to have AOW and similar to co op they'll probably add a toggle for 128p/64p maps.

I think the huge player count is partly the cause of the poor performance too.

Of course 128 players has a performance cost, but people are overstating that performance cost. I tried both 128 players and 64 players modes (through portal on 2042 maps), i don't see any noticeable difference between those

The real performance costs are obviously the general graphics just look at comparison videos with BF5 and BF1.

And there should be a clear difference - there is a reason why old gen consoles only have 64.

yeah they should at it. the severs should be more stable when it comes.

This is pathetic. We PC Gamers are going to ruin 128 player mode for everyone including last gen console players because we have too many unworthy in our ranks trying to play this game on 5 year old potatos..

Maybe if DICE didn't suck at optimizing their game for a variety of GPU's, maybe. But don't pretend that the idiot's that buy cards like cell phones are somehow better than the sensible people who buy cards every decade or so...

[Hayday]

im sure there are servers that host 64 players only just do that. I feel like the 128 players make it a more action pack/ action movie. It just feels crazy and I like it but i think the maps are just to empty like it takes a min to get to cover from one cap to the next. if they can fix that in new maps (or in main ones to) it would make it easier for the infantry and they wont get sniped as much as what is happening now in every map

"superior" and why is that exactly?

Because 128 players on bigger maps dont make gameplay better but they make graphics worse lead to FPS issues and lags. DICE (i think it was their CEO at the time) even did some research on this and came to the conclusion years ago that more than 64 isnt fun. Just look at the huge empty maps in BF 2042 - from my point of view a bit smaller maps would be way more fun and chances are you wont even notice it since 128 players spread out on a huge map will lead to you not seeing 90% of the other players most of the time.

If they made maps smaller in general they could probably also improve graphics. Maybe its me but to me it seems that on the huge map size vehicles dissapear in the distance - thats especially bad when im in a jet trying to spot helicopters.

get a better computer. just cus you a poverty stricken person does not mean us bleeding edge players should suffer

[Heatnixx]

128 players is a massive mess, I hope they do.
