Just had a look on Reddit a came across this thread [https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield\_one/comments/75ttkt/cant\_believe\_they\_will\_remove\_40\_men\_ops/](https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/75ttkt/cant_believe_they_will_remove_40_men_ops/) is this true are they getting rid of 40 man operations? If so what the hell is wrong with you DICE you lot seem to keep coming up the most stupidest idea on how to “improve the game”. The reason I love the 40 man operation game mode is because of the tactical element where a single squad can win the match with some good team work and with its fluid movement with flanks and counter attacks (it happens sometimes). In 64 player mode most games become stagnant with both sides sniping at each other over the first sector. DICE please reconsider as this move as for me personally is not wanted. ---

In line with many other removals of content from the game I mean it’s taken a YEAR to put Ops in the server browser and change activating the bayonet charge I don’t get it either ---

I cant belive that dice made it. Worst idea ever. 64 player operation are unplayable for me. Its just a sniper and explosive fest. I really enjoyed 40p operations. Dice probably want kill this game with this stupid decisions or mistakes, like lag servers , ttk changes and removing 40p operation. At least they removed cancer elites from domination. ---

Well I won’t be playing as much operations as I usually do, it actually my preferred mode for several months. 40 players can be chaotic i can’t image what 64 player operations will be like!!! ---

CQ is like headless chickens running around the map, capping, then losing flags over and over again. To me, Operations captures the mayhem of WWI battles far more realistically than Conquest. Theres an actual purpose to the battles. There’s an attacker and a defender and it’s just a wave of violence sweeping in the direction of the defender. ---

I much prefer 64 man Operation. I like the the caos, but more importantly is`s actully possible to win as attacker. In 40 man OP the attackers are almost always stopped when trying to capture the 3 flag sector. ---

They want everyone to play the same operation so they fill up the servers. Understandable and a good change. ---

Theres an actual purpose to the battles. There’s an attacker and a defender and it’s just a wave of violence sweeping in the direction of the defender. Thats pretty much why i like operations. Also with conquest in BF1 I’ve noticed teams tend to spend the entire time trying to take your gimme flags so they can push you right back and spawn trap. For me operations is the best addition to the game and hope they keep it moving forward. As I’ve said i’ll give it ago as its my main game mode. ---

DICE stated in the October patch Twitch Stream on Oct. 11 that 40 player Operations were removed because the Operations servers weren’t filling up. It’s at 38 min into the Twitch stream. ---

40 man ops were fine, could always find a server. 64, is just a grenade/sniper spam fest! Especially on open maps! ---

Cant believe they removed it without at least asking the community. 40 men was the only game mode i played . Way more tactical. Couldn’t they at least test it out in the server browser before removing it completely!?!?!!? ---
