Battlefield 2042 Player Count Hit's Below 2K Players As EA Remains Silent On Fixes

screenrant.com:

The number of people playing Battlefield 2042 hit a new low with less than two thousand players Monday morning as the developers remain silent on fixing the game's issues. Since the game was released in November, players have pointed out the lack of gameplay options compared to previous entries in the Battlefield franchise. Missing features are not the only issue. Design choices and balancing issues have made enjoying the game 128-player battles challenging to enjoy.

One common complaint with Battlefield 2042 is the design choices with many of the game's gigantic maps. Players stuck without one of the game's vehicles would often need to traverse long distances across empty sections of the game's map before reaching an explosive shootout or one of the map's objectives. This issue became more apparent after the game's developer, DICE, introduced a 64-player Battlefield 2042 game type with a smaller map that managed to feel more balanced and exciting. Unfortunately, the gameplay, balance issues, and lack of developer roadmap for future content and fixes are having a severe effect on the game's player numbers.

During the morning of February 14th, Battlefield 2042 managed to hit its lowest player count on Steam with less than two thousand players, according to SteamCharts. Player and Reddit user Generalboiofbois pointed out the low player count on the game's subreddit. A player count that is almost half the number of players seen playing the franchise's previous entry, Battlefield 5. Electronic Arts and DICE have been relatively quiet on the game's social media platforms, which developers typically use after a game's launch to address fans' concerns
