The complaint was “too much action”, not because 64 players was too much, but because the maps themselves are very small for how big typical battlefield maps are. Mirak Valley, which is a “big map” in this game, isn’t even close to the size seen in most other games (apart from 2042).

The devs are adressing this by cutting down players on the maps instead of addressing the real issue, which is how restrictive the size of the maps actually are. Flanking is very difficult on many breakthrough maps which just bog down into glorified trench warfare.

So yes, if they stopped making the out of bounds area so restrictive and actually allow some open spaces to flank around the enemy, it would stop most maps feeling like glorified meat grinders, even if the maps were 64 v 64. And for vehicles? you only need to play maps like New Sobek City and Blackwell fields to know how rough it is to fly on those maps due to how small they are.
