    I had little hope they would add it to EA Play (+GPU) today. It's exactly 6 months after release.

    Yeah, that was my wonder as well, last time I saw Steam numbers it was maybe a couple hundred? Would console numbers be higher or lower? Does the game have crossplay?

    Yeah I'm pretty sure that means they are having trouble filling matches lol. Steam charts show them dipping under 2,000 people on average lately. That's really bad. BFV is still averaging almost 8,000 and BF1 is at around 4,000.

    Everyone echo'd my thoughts exactly. This abomination of a game doesn't have 128 player base to fill that match type anyways. You'd be lucky if you could get enough people together to boost achievements at this rate.
    There is always a way.

    I never undertood the need to go for hundreds of player in one match/huge empty maps in the first place. 32 and 64 players is more than enough, I mean smaller scale never bothered me in my favourite Battlefield games that were BF 1943 and Bad Company games, quite the opposite I never liked the bigger scale from BF3 onwards

    All I want to know is when it comes to EA play/Gamepass ?
    Game is out for 6 months and still no news, since the game does so bad I expected it a lot sooner.

    Breakthrough should have never been 128 players. Conquest matches are almost always nearly full, Breakthrough has at least a third of the entire server as bots

    Makes it harder and longer to grind the achievements now though

    For everyone not reading it says removing 128 player Breakthrough, not 128 player conquest. They should remove Hazard Zone imo

    I got my Delux editon or whatever you want to call it for free and I still want a refund lol. This game was terrible man. The only reason I still have it installed is to finish the rest of the achievements.

    The next update should sound like "this update removes Battlefield 2042".

    It was not just the ET game, but way more atari games and also hardware. For example atari made 12 million copies of Pac-Man, while only sold 10 million consoles. They sold 7 million copies of the game, so left atari with 5 million unsold Pac-Man cartridges. The ET game was produced 5 million times and sold 1,5 million, so left atari with 3,5 million unsold.

    So basicly atari had more unsold Pac-Mans, then it had unsold ETs, in their warehouses.

    The game is picking up steam, I'm stating to see a lot more cheaters in matches. There was a point where even they wouldn't touch the game.

    I'm annoyed they nerfed Boris as I'm currently trying to get him to Tier 1.
