Thread: Conquest Large isn't actually the only 64-man game mode!

I liked Wake Island for 2142. Not so much BF2.

At least on Wake Island (bf2) you could swim, You can't on Metro.....

Thank you for bringing this up. I was going to make a thread about this, but was hesitant to because I doubted it would get much of a reception. Conquest has been the game of choice around here for the last decade and to switch up the routine may be an unwelcome change.


That said. I too have discovered the amazing game mode of Obliteration.

Real Event:


I joined some random server and saw that the game mode was Obliteration. The map was Paracel Storm. A few seconds after joining I saw the "Bomb has been located message", and I saw the bombs location on the map. I then spawned in at the nearest spawn point and joined in the battle that was unfolding for control over the bomb. After quite a fire fight, one other teammate and myself were the only 2 players in the area left alive. I quickly sprinted over to the bomb and picked it up, no less then a second later, with the plan of running back to my teammate to help escort the bomb to it's destination, I turned around only to watch my teammate get blow into the air by a AP tank round. After sprinting as far away as I could get for about 15-20 seconds, I heard my squad mate yell over VOIP, "Stay low! I'm coming to get you".


20-30 seconds later, my squad mate arrived and picked me up, all the while somehow managing to dodge numerous tank and LAV rounds. We flew to the objective where I parachuted out, planted the bomb, and destroyed the first objective.


It was in this simple but action packed scenario, that I remembered the adrenaline packed teamwork that I first experienced when I found TPG. It is because of teamwork that I've expirianced in the past that I still game on TPG's battlefield servers.


I think that the other game modes (especially Obliteration) in BF4 have a lot to offer to a community like TPG. I haven't had that much fun in a BF game for at least 10 years.


Conquest alone has gotten stale, I think it's time to mix it up.

I don't understand what you mean by "Not supported" There are tons of 32, 48 and 64 man RANKED servers that are playing all game modes just fine. Not following the recommendations (populations, vehicles, ticket counts etc..) means you can't ask dice for support if something goes wrong That's almost laughable, for numerous reasons.

DICE has gone on the record saying "You can do it, but you are unsupported". The maps, and modes were designed and balanced with a certain number of players. We've always followed the recommended guidelines for game modes from DICE. Just because you CAN play 64-player Rush or Obliteration or whatever doesn't mean you SHOULD.

For example: Titan on 2142 was limited to 48 players... sure you could override that and make it 64 player, but it was cramming too many people onto the map and made it laggy or it was just a nade fest at all choke points.

If you want to play the other modes like Obliteration or Rush... that's why we have a 32-player server...

I remember the 32 player map size with 64 players on Karkand. That was good shit.
