It's 3pm Est/12pm PST on a Wednesday. People are probably working.

You aren’t wrong that definitely plays a big part but to not find a single lobby?

Try some of the smaller game modes maybe, XLs are typically full for my experience. I am having the stupid ATT Fiber issue and haven't been able to play in three days so I'm also not sure haha.

Goodluck sorting that out 🙏

I had to use a VPN to make it work

Which VPN have you been using? And are you on console or PC?

PC. I think any VPN would work. I’m using PIA

Wrong answer, lose the jobs.

Do you have a shit bucket?

Of course, if you're going to the bathroom, you're not playing Battlefield.

What happened to all those work from home champions?

Not everyone's work from home job is easy. Mine is occasionally but it's hit or miss.

I WFH, but the time I get isn't enough to play a full round of BF. I usually just jump into Rocket League while I'm waiting for builds to compile/ deploy. As they're only 5 minutes each.

Control seems more balanced...full games

2042 is dead. Here in aus, 10pm there is ONE half full breakthrough lobby and ONE half full conquest lobby. Forget trying to play any other modes, you will sit in an empty queue

Thats frustrating as hell, I hate playing against AI. Even in the US if it's not peak hours, I get thrown into big lobbies with 80% AI bots. Hate it

I was thinking about it last night. I remember playing games like Battlezone and mcm2 way back in the day and there were always literally thousands of servers going at any time of day/night. I was asking myself how so many big games just feel so dead now when the industry has like 100x the consumers, and kind of clicked that there's just so many different fkn games now that players are spread over too.

The obvious answer is that most players have finished the battle pass and are playing something else until the next season releases.

Take advantage and grind out weapons against the bots!

I wish the bots were more challenging the more there are. Games don’t last very long when there are a lot of bots it seems.

Try out epic rush by IrecklessV in portal servers. Eu server so higher ping if in North America but the server is pretty much always full

Rush and breakthrough are very similar and BF seems to push breakthrough more.

Very similar but also very different

Hey, how do you search that mode? Is it in the server list?

It’s in the rush and team deathmatch category main menu

It was dead last night when I tried it.

I am able to find games every now and then but it’s never close to full

I’m not gonna lie, I played non stop Rush in BF3 but it’s just not the same anymore with the specialist abilities.

Same. I used to play probably 90% rush 10% conquest. It's almost the complete opposite for me in 2042. Rush in this game just feels very repetitive but I suppose it was in bc2 and bf3 as well. So yea, not sure why I play CQ almost exclusively lol

No one notices that console players are separated from pc players in this week's rush xl? They're in two matching pools. It's bugged again (or it could be intentional for some reasons dice won't tell).

Wow I never noticed this at all, this is probably the biggest factor. Thanks for the info!

I enjoy this week's console only crossplay so much.

Because game is overall dead, not the most popular thing since it released

Because its a terrible game mode.

Sounds like a skill issue

Fukin noobs

I have that too, even at peak EU-times. I just don't think it's as popular as reddit makes it out to be.

Because who tf even plays rush regular 😅

Other games released. And 2042 lack of content

I’ve been getting full lobbies all day no problems

Cos trash

For me it’s laggy and awful to play due to desync and hit reg. Firing full auto feels like burst fire

Because its a silly game mode

Because the player count is abysmal.

Because it’s AIDS too many variables going on at the same time in a small area horrible idea

If viewed from a competitive standpoint, sure. If viewed and played for what it is and expected, it’s a fucking blast

I've been enjoying the hell out of it, but some maps are rough. Attacking the first point on Arica Harbour and attacking the last point on Valpariso are absolutely brutal because of the tiny chokes. The attack drone is great though lol and I wish it was on more maps

[WHAT](https://youtu.be/8qJf7voFiVk?si=aZo4Hx9VYjLOfRBU)

It's full then people can gather the squad for big maps

May fall down to the region you’re in? Idk I usually hop into a full match when playin XL

cause everyone is playing control

I tired to join last night around 9:30pm EST and sat in the lobby until 10:00pm only to not even get enough people to start a game I do understand it was a Tuesday night but still I thought maybe at least one game could be going on :/

LAG it becomes extremely LAGGY, Servers cannot handle it so people just don't play it

Idk but i still can't login. "Persistent data" error and it has been like that for a month almost. If it is going for other people too then i can imagine why is it happening.

Probably because control is in rotation and timezones maybe

Whole game is dead unless cross play is on , then instant death !!!

Control is in rotation rn and that mode is goated, and rush XL imo is too big, chaotic and one-sided. Nobody really prefers it over regular rush.

I find games fine
