If youre gonna compare search engine results to playercount you run the risk of creating a slightly spurious correlation, since more people are going to google a new game whether theyre playing it or not. To find a more appropriate comparison you would want to compare it to another game that has reached peak player counts long after release, since that would be a true apples to apples comparison.

Nice to see you coming back 🤙 I understand perfectly why the lack of content on many Battlefield players, we still don't have those epic moments like in previous battlefield games, and if we have a job and need to work all day it's even worse. Even if you upload a video per month is okay 👍 keep it up
@@SilkOCE yeah, that's the true. Even some small Hobby UA-cam's like me and my friends uploaded much more BF4 Content as Bf2042, like on bf4 we always had some clips with crazy TV missiles or Tow , great team work games with crazy moments, in bf4 you have like 20 Epic moments per game, in BF2042 you have like one epic moment per month, even with all new content and stuff. I still really angry with Dice about this New Vehicle " The Noon Bike " its just a Satire . Dice try to make Bf2042 always more COD and Vice versa.
There are definitely way more players atm and I’m getting put in squads with lots of lower level players. BF2042 being number 2 on steam sales by revenue when it’s so cheap says it all to me
I still cant belive the matchmaker is as bad as it is, im getting bots in 20 percent of my lobbies during peak and 100 percent during off times on a populated server. Unless they lied about player count something's off
There's a matchmaking AI bug at the moment that only has been partly fixed by DICE. It has been acklowledged and partly patched but a full fix is still something we're waiting for.
The massive player count is actually from asia, and I'd guess a big portion of that would be chinese players. Would explain why google trends has no corresponding up tick considering google isn't used in China.
There is a noticeable jump in new players on Asian servers. A large portion of these new players have chinese names. Edit: Those new chinese/asian players probably don't use google.
Hello mate , just stumbled across your chanel. Glad to see and aussie throw up some content on BF . I was hyped for this game but quit pretty much as soon as season 1. I have just got bac for season 6 to finish off one season. Not alot has chnaged to wow me in that time , unfortunately. The redacted map is nice pretty much the only thing i play atm You have a new sub.
Ngl bro it’s annoying me because I’m in the U.K. and I’m getting more bots than when the player count was sitting at 13000. As others have said the numbers are likely coming from Asia etc due to the steam sale. I also play on Xbox but I do have crossplay on.
thought you were smarter than this. google trends vs steam charts... on release I wasnt playing the game or my mates but enjoyed watching it getting roasted. games on disgusting sale for over a week now the content is better no question about it
Since there was a mentioning of infantry only maps. I just wanna throw a few words out there. BF3 Close Quarters DLC. Can't speak for everyone. But me and all of my friend totally agree that's the best DLC ever. Hope dice keep giving us infantry players some content. #InfantryMatters😅
There's been a matchmaking problem and AI trouble that the battlefield team acklnowledged and then partly fixed after S06 released. They haven't fully fixed the issue as of yet.
I think its true about the player counts. Obviously it depends on hour of the day or the match type. 128 gameplay modes would be full sometimes but now they have 64 which is easier to fill the match with players
what else has decent gunplay? bf4 servers drying up, gave 2042 a run the past few days and doesn't hold a candle to bf4 mechanics - anything else out there?
Game was free then on sale for 10 bucks. They say there's more players than ever then why the hell is every match still having bots? I'm almost falling to some conspiracy theory on those numbers.
I've been on and off with this battlefield ever since it came out. But I can say there have been some really good improvements to the game still quite not there yet but it's getting there
I've been pretty burnt out on 2042 the last few months but I'd pretty much watch anything you post mate. Curious what sort of bike you've got aswel. So I'd deffo be down for some Off-Road Style Go-Pro 100 & 0 - OP Silk Mountain bike stuff.
Eh, I think you're wrong. I can get full lobbies, any time, day or night whereas I didn't have a shot in hell of doing that before at 2am on a weeknight
Mountain west, USA. Also - does EA report the steam numbers? In your video that's what you made it sound like, but I was always under the impression steam reported those numbers themselves. Just curious! @@SilkOCE
The game is seeing the reward of the devs fixing the game to the state it should’ve been at launch. If season 7 is as good as season 6, the game will keep growing
Also skeptical about the player count, I see full lobbies with 80% bots on the regular. I feel like just saying "oh its just a bug, the real players are out there fr" is a little tooooo convenient imo
I'm taking a break till the game dies back down and the new players leave. The amount of people laying down prone everywhere has ruined it for me so far.
I mainly play during the evening/night, but least for me the game feels just as dead as it always has. OCE has always been pretty dry on this game, least on Breakthrough I verse the same pool of players most days, with a supposed 100k player count I was expecting maybe 2 or 3 full servers at all times, I definitely got ahead of myself with that thought lmao
@@SilkOCE Just odd, numbers look real but don't feel real. I remember the Team Fortress 2 charts got player count botted a year or 2 ago, maybe same thing happened with 2042?
I’ve been playing since day 1. I have never seen as many AI in game than now. Even in 2042 lowest low 1,5 k players my lobbies were full. Not its half full. Maybe because now i get the last lobbie IDK but something dosent feel right. Aussi player count reaches 100k but that’s only at one time of the day.? After it drops at 17-25 k. If you look at cod it is more or less steady all the time. I feel that these numbers are coming from the Asian market… maybe European? Something dors smell fishy but it gives 2042. Good press. Can’t hurt
I used to love grabbing a stealth heli and going out bold then landing somewhere to repair, but haven’t been able to grab a heli since season 6 launched lol. Never got the hang of attack helis, anyone have any tips or loadouts?
What are you complaining about. Steam just shows the amount of players, the game was free and 10 bucks after that. Off course you get more players its a good game for 10 bucks. Also the jet is fine now, was way overpowered for AA, just use booster and get out.
They're still having several matchmaking issues. The steam player counts are always real. Furthermore, one easy correlation is the top selling status on steam.
Something extra I just remembered too, the highest selling status on steam isn't based on the number of units sold but the total of $$$ sold. So they sold a lot lol.
@@SilkOCE 2 weeks into this season and I'm still experiencing lobbies not being filled with players when people leave and instead it's just AI. I also sometimes randomly just cannot find any game in some game modes. I sincerely don't think anything funny is going on besides EA servers being a joke as they've always been sadly... I doubt EA expected the large player counts.
I agree with bascially everything you said except 7:01 .. The game is amazing now. I got it on sale about 6 month ago for 18€, which was fair. Recently, it was on sale for 9€ - what a steal. I know so many people (basically everyone I know that plays it) who picked it up only this year and you are talking about "fake player count" lmao The game delivers 100% at that price. Coming from a competitive shooter background it is a great change and the vehicle play is fun! The beta was shit, and I cannot understand why people bought the game at launch. Definitely a success story in terms of in-game changes for me.
I honestly think theses active player number's are fake or are spread across all regions, at like 2-3pm uk eu time number's are 100k-90k and after like 2/3 hrs they drop like hard so...
The top seller list score history in the past week for 2042 on Steam more or less is all the proof you need to see that the player count is legit. It's quite the silly notion that now after years of low player count they would all of a sudden fake a comeback of this magnitude, lol. I get full servers 24/7 in Western Europe/Northern Europe region crossplay even before this player surge.
I wanted some more gameplay. T_T I thought when you were finishing the talk you were gonna show some gameplay lel Though I'm down for any content from this channel very interesting
Where is the video where you dominate in the attack heli gunner seat and have both your view and the pilot view?? I’ve been waiting since the update :)
There's been a matchmaking problem and AI trouble that the battlefield team acklnowledged and then partly fixed after S06 released. They haven't fully fixed the issue as of yet.
Also, just look at the top seller score history for BF2042 on steam the last week and you'll have way more proof that the player count is legit than whatever theories of fishyness you'll find in this vid to suggest the opposite.
it sucks that content creators pretty much killed this game .. l ike you said " you couldnt find any way to make content " content = views = money ....not gonna cover a game that wont make money ... i get it but i also dont think that it should determine weather or not a game is " good " or not .. im a beta player..a day oner and the game is all in all the same for me .. as in gameplay ...so i chuckle at the masses coming to play the same game that was released two years ago ..
The game has turned around. I’m always having a blast on it. Smooth gameplay especially I’m running it on my 5G hotspot in my Semi Truck 🚛 wreckN the lobbies. Let 2042 have it’s awesome Comeback story -ROCKY 🥊 ADRAINNNnnnnnn
There is a major glitch on the redacted map that allows you to get behind walls and then pop out behind enemys back thru the wall. Also when game goes bad and people leave, the slots dont get refilled with actual players but the AI. Matchmaking is also still bad.
It's only the cod players who rant and rave about battlefield being dead, cod has always been terrible and the worst launch in battlefield history they couldn't wait to jump all over that, most people dont realise it was cod influencers that helped keep players away from 2042
@@SilkOCE, everyone running around with the MCS-880 and that stupid new DMR + the AI running wild, my experience with the new map has been horrible so far. Although it probably doesn't help when I play solo most of the time.

Furthermore, one easy correlation is the top selling status on steam.
Perhaps but where are the players it really should feel nothing like 5x players
Something extra I just remembered too, the highest selling status on steam isn't based on the number of units sold but the total of $$$ sold. So they sold a lot lol.
@@SilkOCE 2 weeks into this season and I'm still experiencing lobbies not being filled with players when people leave and instead it's just AI.
I also sometimes randomly just cannot find any game in some game modes. I sincerely don't think anything funny is going on besides EA servers being a joke as they've always been sadly... I doubt EA expected the large player counts.
I agree with bascially everything you said except 7:01 .. The game is amazing now. I got it on sale about 6 month ago for 18€, which was fair. Recently, it was on sale for 9€ - what a steal. I know so many people (basically everyone I know that plays it) who picked it up only this year and you are talking about "fake player count" lmao The game delivers 100% at that price. Coming from a competitive shooter background it is a great change and the vehicle play is fun! The beta was shit, and I cannot understand why people bought the game at launch. Definitely a success story in terms of in-game changes for me.
I honestly think theses active player number's are fake or are spread across all regions, at like 2-3pm uk eu time number's are 100k-90k and after like 2/3 hrs they drop like hard so...
The top seller list score history in the past week for 2042 on Steam more or less is all the proof you need to see that the player count is legit. It's quite the silly notion that now after years of low player count they would all of a sudden fake a comeback of this magnitude, lol. I get full servers 24/7 in Western Europe/Northern Europe region crossplay even before this player surge.
Battlebit already won me over, better luck next time dice.
It’s most definitely real. The bot lobby problems are a known issue and not intended.
Could it just be a Oceania thing? Cause our servers are full of new comers(noobs) 😂😂😂
Oce barely has any new comers haha
I wanted some more gameplay. T_T
I thought when you were finishing the talk you were gonna show some gameplay lel
Though I'm down for any content from this channel very interesting
I’ve got gameplays to upload and some crazy ones that that :)
@@SilkOCE Legendary
🔥🔥
Where is the video where you dominate in the attack heli gunner seat and have both your view and the pilot view??
I’ve been waiting since the update :)
I don't believe the player counts, I have never had so many AI in the game since season 1
Same
There's been a matchmaking problem and AI trouble that the battlefield team acklnowledged and then partly fixed after S06 released. They haven't fully fixed the issue as of yet.
It's a matchmaking issue they introduced at the start of the season. It has nothing to do with player counts.
Also, just look at the top seller score history for BF2042 on steam the last week and you'll have way more proof that the player count is legit than whatever theories of fishyness you'll find in this vid to suggest the opposite.
One of them, sits in jets the whole game lol! 😢
MTB content would be welcomed!
It's because people are breaking out of the COD cycle haha
Just to say i am one of the people who just started playing :)
pretty sure it just peaked because of the free weekend, no?
Yes which would make sense but now after the free weekend the counts are even higher
it sucks that content creators pretty much killed this game .. l ike you said " you couldnt find any way to make content " content = views = money ....not gonna cover a game that wont make money ... i get it but i also dont think that it should determine weather or not a game is " good " or not .. im a beta player..a day oner and the game is all in all the same for me .. as in gameplay ...so i chuckle at the masses coming to play the same game that was released two years ago ..
They need more maps like redacted
damn silk you have been missed !!
We got fooled again mate.
We're so stupid man
BF2042 is playing great nowdays
64v64 is missing 😢
The game has turned around. I’m always having a blast on it. Smooth gameplay especially I’m running it on my 5G hotspot in my Semi Truck 🚛 wreckN the lobbies. Let 2042 have it’s awesome Comeback story -ROCKY 🥊 ADRAINNNnnnnnn
Hard mode?
The new job is in finance huh? Hit rate, loads of data... Please share on that a bit more rather than this trash game
Mechanical engineer 😂I can’t share too much else but I really enjoy it
@SilkOCE Wp man, good for you and the MB'ing is a good addition to the channel. I enjoy hitting the trails myself.
@@_MTFA MTB is so addictive. Stay safe out there man
There is a major glitch on the redacted map that allows you to get behind walls and then pop out behind enemys back thru the wall.
Also when game goes bad and people leave, the slots dont get refilled with actual players but the AI.
Matchmaking is also still bad.
gg man 💪🏻👌
S I L K
Crazy
It's only the cod players who rant and rave about battlefield being dead, cod has always been terrible and the worst launch in battlefield history they couldn't wait to jump all over that, most people dont realise it was cod influencers that helped keep players away from 2042
dude … like wtf is that gameplay on video? stop get peeps rekt and let us have some fun in this game 😂😂😂
It's weird because every match I join is full of AI. I'm also already bored with the new map lol
New map is cool but I can't get games without AI
@@SilkOCE, everyone running around with the MCS-880 and that stupid new DMR + the AI running wild, my experience with the new map has been horrible so far. Although it probably doesn't help when I play solo most of the time.
There's been a matchmaking problem and AI trouble that the battlefield team acklnowledged and then partly fixed after S06 released. They haven't fully fixed the issue as of yet.
Game is crap, doesn’t even have a server browser, no KBM support on console. Portal is crap, has no one playing any good maps. Just redacted and the BF3 maps are just XP farming
yoo first love the content
its fake, just to take ppl attention from mw3 beta
LETS GOO
100% tricked
I just wouldn't be surprised at this point
@@SilkOCEthis video makes zero sense
Working with data, yet giving this conspiracy theory when it's obvious that peak on steam is achieved by Asia, not Us. Just admit, you lacked idea for clickbait
But Google trends interest by country is not even dominated by Asia countries. I vpned to Asia and couldn't get instant full lobbies either
@@SilkOCE it's because matchmaking issue, it was highlighted by devs. Also i play HZ quite regular and you could see instant full lobbies and thousands of players on portal
Ofc you dont feel the player increase, you are from a region nobody plays in...
Yes and the game went on sale in my region so there should be a noticeable difference. I think I'm yet to get a full game...?
@@SilkOCE I wouldnt be surprised if EA is bullshitting us but at the same time I dont see why they would care to ""boost"" the player count of a game they clearly dont give a shit about already. If they cared they would have pushed DICE to release more content etc...this game will hardly recieve more support after season 6.
This game is terrible
Game is dead af, move onto to better things don't give EA your playercount lmao
