Incorrect, BF2 already supports 128 players within its engine. Admins can mod their servers to allow up to 128 player slots, but EA/DICE implemented a hardcoded online feature that crashes the server as soon as a 65th player joins. We just want that removed.

If you bothered reading the petition you are were so quick to call "stupid", you'd notice that we asked for the squad size to increase to 8. Leaving 114 being
7 full squads
1 CO
You also ask about why EA would do this due to the minimum profit gain? How about
1. Improving their dire company image within the gaming industry
2. Paying homage to the modding community which, in turn, is what led to BF2 itself
3. Keeping to their word about there actually being "mod support" of any kind.
