'Battlefield 2042' is finally fun. Should EA bail on it anyway?

Put another way, to help right the ship going forward, EA and Dice had to throw a full third of "Battlefield 2042′s" freight overboard. That does not feel great if you paid full price for this game, especially when there are no guarantees Hazard Zone will be replaced with anything of substance. The Hazard Zone announcement also came within a week of EA and Dice stating they would shelve the 128-player version of the game's Breakthrough mode, which, alongside Conquest, is one of the two major components to its "All Out Warfare" pillar experience. Massive player counts on expansive maps were a huge part of the marketing push for "Battlefield 2042," so scaling down Breakthrough seems like an admission of another miscalculation.
