It makes sense that more players means the actions of a single player means less and teamwork counts as more. If a player is used to carry teams and having a huge impact 18p will feel less rewarding.

Imo 128 should be shelved for a couple games or so timespan. It’s a good evolution but last gen tech limitations + frostbite and dice server stuff just made it a poor execution rn plus the map design which dice overestimated for

Thats exactly how I feel about 128P conquest TBH. The more players you have, the less impact 1 good player or squad has on the games outcome. Which I actually think is a bad thing.

Conquest would be much more interesting if maps were more dynamic...and instead of just being flags/sectors, there were other mini objectives player could do to achieve score/victory.

There needs to be a balance. the main issue in this game is that it basically released with none.

64p with 60hz mmm

I actually really like 128p. Especially when I'm playing with 2-3 others as we then make the difference that might be lacking. The main problem with 128p imo. is that less people are playing in squads.
arctic grove
Some maps are good with 128 imo, like manifest and orbital
next onyx
I don't think many would have a problem with
128p if it didn't literally break the game and diverted resources.
still vault
128p didn't break the game, it steered it in a direction you don't like
vocal tusk
Think Conquest...you'd still have flags/sectors but as an example there would be radar dishes on the maps. That radar dish wouldnt be a capture point that earns score, but it could (Again for example) allow your pilots to have active radar, allow a team to call in vehicles in that area, ETC
next onyx
No it literally broke the damn game KEK.
arctic grove
Oh yeah so sorta like integrating the old commander bonuses for certain objectives
I miss that
pine roost
Or rather, they didn’t anticipate how many variables it introduced

I actually don't mind 128p it itself but the shit maps and engine issues jesus fuck.
vocal tusk
Conquest could be a lot better also, if you were only able to call in vehicles in a sector you owned.
pine roost
Now that it’s been out for a while you can see they’ve slowly managed to utilise it better

Yeah they know what they're doing.

Ez game.
I've seen a 128p 60hz bf5 server.
But it would have its own problems.
vocal tusk
The decision regarding player count for the next game has likely already been made. While I dont hate 128P (When it works) I vastly prefer the game experience and flow in 64P games. So if thast what they decide on, ill be happy enough.
More detailed maps, with better destruction would be preferred by me to what we got in the current game
next onyx
Just want more than one map per season.
But I guess it's too much to ask for.
Games are getting bigger and I acknowledge that but goddamn.

Server moment.
I've actually dealt with that quite a few times. I usually think it's something on my end but when my friends relay the same it's clearly not "my" issue.
still vault
The workflow for designing a map apparently takes up to a year. At this point, it sounds to me like the problem is with the tools for creating the maps if it has to take that long. However, since it is an industry wide issue I'm guessing it's probably just me that just don't get why it should really take that long.
pine roost
Assets need to be in such high fidelity now to meet the ‘standard’ that alone probably takes up a considerable amount of time

A CTE would go a really long way for QA testing

I don't really think many care about the narrative of 2042 at this point

I do wonder if CTEs help that much. To me it seems like something that could easily take as much time to manage as it saves. But I don't have the numbers about that, they could be hugely helpful for all I know, but then one would wonder why they don't really do it.
next onyx
You could easily tie findable story elements into cte and have people share it.
How do I say it...

CTEs are more like canaries than actual simulations of production. They get less traffic, aren't as heavily tested, etc because most users aren't going to install a second copy of the 70 GB game just to occasionally try new content.
It's also PC only, so that also limits traffic
You end up catching most issues in production anyway
next onyx
In who I have spoken to. The one I have talked to has said that despite the diversion of resources. CTE would have genuinely assisted a lot in development as you can get more playtime due to the traffic of players.
We had a bf4 xbox cte.
ebon pilot
How was that installed?
vocal tusk
They essentially already have a separate game version for 2042, they used it for the last creator capture event. (Its a separate game on steam)
Similar could be used for a CTE
pine roost
Well they have mentioned a couple of times in podcasts that merely a day after a season launch they can gather thousands of hours of playtime footage. While a cte would never get high of a player count, that information then being used to further develop it before its launch could be immensely useful
Cause as it stands they’d most likely release something, start work on the next set of sprints and only come back to it far later on when there’s room. But with said cte that playtest time could be incorporated far earlier on
still vault
I do see how CTEs kinda ruins a lot of marketing options.
Like in BF4, when the players helped build a map - due to me having seen so many articles about it - it already felt familiar at release and the releasehype for me kinda went away.
pine roost
Yeah I can see both ways, there are pros and cons
vocal tusk
I think a CTE would do more for long term player retention, than a load of hype for a week or 2 leading up to a new update tho
pine roost
Might sound strange, but think of Minecraft updates. They announce the update, work on it with weekly public testing releases before it launches. They can really tailor make the update to what the community ask for but in turn it loses some of the hype
But on the other hand a surprise drop brings the hype, but lacks the personal involvement
still vault
I think a CTE would do more for long term player retention, than a load of hype ...
I hope so, I really do.
But I do wonder how initial hype can affect long term retention more than we know. I think the initial high emotional commitment might translate into more long term retention than you might think.
vocal tusk
It all depends. If you look at 2042 player count...the largest by far boost to it and retention period came when they did free periods and a game discount.

(speaking purely on 64p) not so aware on any other game mode but I assume it's not that much different
ivory canopy
They did thankfully add a mercy mode for if the enemy has all objectives so games end far quicker in those scenarios
proven obsidian
Oh lord please no, it would make the issue even worse
ivory canopy
Does it?
If I'm on a team that's utterly useless I want the game to end sooner tbh
But I guess the general issue is shorter games. They wouldn't be so short if the teams both had some degree of ability.
proven obsidian
I have many games of CQ64 under 5 minutes mark. Not like some "one in X time" but a clear pattern. The issue comes from MOSTLY because of map balance. Then ticket count. Then overall balance of the gameplay (weapons, vehicles etc) and then player individual skill
proven obsidian

You can just leave, there is no penalty for it

But yeah you're right. A lot of BF2042 players are unskilled.
I know I ramble how trash I am in games I am still running away with
Having high-ticket games as an alternative game mode would be nice.
proven obsidian
The skill part of it is a very complex subject and I'd have to go in-depths to explain my train of thoughts on it but i'll just vaguely say that it comes down to : the game trying to give participation rewards too much therefore not pushing/challenging the average player to do/be better

The only problem with BF4 is some of the weapons are DLC-walled off, including the L85
And many of their unlock criteria require doing specific things on DLC maps

But at this point it doesn't matter much
proven obsidian
Was about to say
vocal tusk
why do games feel alot shorter in 2042 compared to bfv and bf1?
Conquest is shorter because when you cap a sector it removes 10 tickets from enemy spawn pool/tickets. I hate it. Hope they remove it
Kills the ability of a team to make a comeback after a poor start.
proven obsidian
They def need to remove it ASAP
ivory canopy
Agreed
vocal tusk
In past games you could comeback from a ticket score of 50 to 200. Its next to impossible in 2042...cos all a team needs to do is cap 5 sectors (Even if they only own 1/2 flags) to win
proven obsidian
if they really want to make a "sector like" game mode. They kinda had one. Remember BF4 ? Remember Chain link ? Take that as a foundation. Add one point for each flag. Voila
(WW3 does it better too)
ivory canopy
I don't think they utilized the sector concept very good.
Like, many maps have only one objective for many sectors.
On small maps like Stranded, that's fine
vocal tusk
Id also be fine with them removing the sector cap ticket removal for the last 100-200 tickets.
proven obsidian
And the one objective sector count as much as multiple ones
ivory canopy
But on larger maps they could have expanded upon it.
vocal tusk
Its also crap...cos for example on a flag sector...say a team is trying to Cap flag 1 of 3...ifd they cap it, then the defending team recap that flag...the defending team removes 10 tickets from the attacking teams tickets
proven obsidian
But rather than trying to find fixes for the "sectors". Just remove them. Go back on classic CQ. We really want nothing less, nothing more. I get that game dev can be boring at times and innovation is cool but ...this game suffered from too much inovations
some not even expected
ivory canopy
Many of the introduced changes were half-baked.
They decided on an interesting concept in multiple objectives per sector but failed to really go whole-hog with it.
proven obsidian
I wish I knew why devs from every studios around the world are eager to change a winning formula on so many things from one game to an other. We should expand on them and when it doesn't work, we still have a good image/idea of what worked before and go back to it. No ?
ivory canopy
I also think they rode too hard on the brand recognition and naming the sequel in a ××42 format
proven obsidian
I see it as an homage to 2142 and a "4.2" be like it is BF4 but version 2.0
to mark the return of modern era
