Battlefield 2042 added something controversial...

Battlefield 2042 is a very divisive game and they just added 128 player Breakthrough back. It's absolute chaos! Let's play and see if it's the best or worst mode ever. Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.

[@Tumbo8]

The only downside to break through 128 was at the time when it was available to play, the maps were so vastly open. Battlefield maps need to have a multitude of close quarters combat areas to keep the game flow good. Back when it was available to play at first breakthrough 128 on manifest with absolutely amazing because the whole entire run was close quarters combat areas but on other maps it wouldn't work as well but I don't care what anybody says break through 128 is the best

[@Betoni]

also some of the capture points were in such abysmal locations. On top of a highriser and you can air drop tanks and other vehicles up top......

[@ceezer_]

What my fellow Dice devs need to understand as that we CRAVE the chaos. 128 breakthrough was the best game mode for me personally, the firefights are absolutely nuts. One of the few game modes that I feel that forces players to understand firefights/map rotation and being punished for not disengaging or pushing when needed to. I really hope we get dedicated servers again, I’d play it 24/7.

[@Based_Blue96]

Honestly, it’d be hella fun to play with 128 players on the downsized 64 player maps.

They took it out when the game engine wasn’t performing. This is a test to see if it’s stable enough for long term availability. It’s the best mode as it shows off the next gen possibility with all the active action on screen. No other game does this. Only in battlefield. Now if they could only build a proper event driven 128 mode.

[@roochiecooch]

I can tell you that watching it was extremely entertaining. It was so satisfying seeing you mowing down 4 or 5 enemies at a time between getting revived and doing it again lol. It made me instantly want to go play and try it. I have to say, it’s rather fun. Would recommend. Had to come back after I played a couple matches to comment. I haven’t had this much fun on battlefield 2042 yet. So I think they are at least on the right track with this one move.

This is what I loved the most, and I'm glad it's returning to BF2042. It will not bring me back to the game because I don't own it but it's good to know that at least they are going away from the empty gameplay that was due to oversized map and focusing more on chaotic infantry clusters.

[@ikmalfikri666]

The way forward for 128 Player Breakthrough is: Double the objective from 2 to 4 per sector and minimum 3 per sector. Distance between objective need to be quite some distance and cannot be clustered too close. Within the sector, instead of having to capture all objective, the attacker have to capture at least 2 to move forward. This allows the separation of player to cover all objective and allow some great battle line with attacker having to plan which 2 objective to be captured and the defender have to split their force to defend all objective.

[@omarhammami5600]

This mode seems better with jack !! love your videos. also many changes in this mode not only the player count : - faster vehicules spawn - faster movement (I think infantry only) - lighter throwable (mean you can throw throwables too far) - faster bullet speed (maybe - not sure).

[@GooseTheSecond]

Tried this last night for the first time and my frame rate all of a sudden dropped by 15-20 average and I thought my PC needed a restart but it's just the added 64 players on the map I haven't experienced before. (I play Exodus Conquest with 64 cause 128 is just nuts)
