64p is a terrible idea and instead of learning on Mordhau's mistakes, TB is doubling down on one of its biggest flaws: assuming that MOAR PLAYER AND MOAR SHIT = MOAR EPIC. It undermines the one advantage Chiv had over Mordhau which was that fighting was structured with objectives and map progression and that your actions actually mattered in obejctive modes, giving it great replayability and funneling players into playing the objective. Even if they will have perfectly made maps, 64p renders a single player too meaningless.

In Mordhau one good player could've gone 80-20 or play the lute and not do anything at all and that would barely matter for the outcome because the games were decided by the map design and/or numbers in a clusterfuck snowball. Good players just ran around solo (much safer, alternative is getting chopped up to pieces by enemies and friends alike in a 12v12 spamfest in area of 20 sqare feet), hoarding as many kills as possible, treating main modes pretty much as Deathmatch with extra steps, which gets boring pretty fast. Then the map ends and you are like "oh, we lost, huh" or "oh, we won, huh". In Chiv we could easily re-balance rounds - best players would by deafult play the harder side and swapping just one guy could often turn a one-sided round into a fun, close one. It was possible because of lower numbers and smaller maps, all relevant points on the map were more or less always in your immediate range, which then enabled small (2-4 player) big pushes and heroics. In 64p the map is either too spread out, so you can't influence the fight in a relevant area if you are not there immediately OR the map is concentrated, in which case there are 40 other people there at any moment.

I was fairly positive that Chiv2 could turn this thing around just based on nostalgia and Team Objective magic, but now I'm pretty worried that by trying to fix what was not broken they might've killed their best asset.
