[strong sapphire]

Finally finished all the missions

[real bobcat]

no

[queen basalt]

yes

[real bobcat]

btw there is atleast 1 possiblity on each map others are far worse

[quiet ibex]

I mean, gg easy win, they can't cap up there

[chrome plank]

less easy if you are not playing conquest. Roof stuff can be awful in Rush and Breakthrough

[queen basalt]

They was everywhere .. u cant cap b, c and even A .. tank was claped by C4 and stuff .. it was just anoying to play.

[quiet ibex]

would be a pretty easy win in Rush, smoke and arm its over unless they jump down in which case kill them, breakthrough should be the same because flag progress usually doesn't work off ground level

But no one wants to run smoke even without roof campers

[chrome plank]

It is not the full team on the roof though, it is just that you get a squad on the roof in a permanent undislodgable flank position

[stuck jasper]

😹

[quiet ibex]

-shrugs- generally if they can shoot you and there aren't dozens of them you can shoot back, 2-3 headshots with the nvo and its over, or double tap with the svk would be my go to if I was dedicated

[chrome plank]

the thing is even if you kill them that doesn't dislodge them which is the whole thing, they just spawn beacon in a location that cannot be destroyed from the ground

[stuck jasper]

thermobaric grenades

[indigo pebble]

i wanna attack not bloody deffend ....

20 game sof rush all deffence ...

[real scarab]

Is it just me, or does RPG have 0 AOE damage? Shoot the rocket into a group of 8 people and only 1-2 will die, with luck xD 😂

[nimble bridge]

Something really wrong going on with their BT algorithms, 20 matches only 3 attack

[lethal cloud]

It's not an HE grenade so it has little splash damage by design

[indigo pebble]

yea i remeber they tuned down the v2 rocket on bfv to only alow so many kills per blast becuase you could wipe a entire team out

[nimble bridge]

I won’t play BT if this persists, I don’t think many will either since BT is clearly designed for attackers to win, why even buff attackers when attackers has entire map at their disposal while defenders has a small area to play + no vehicles?

[chrome plank]

RPG has a little, but they very activly made it pretty bad against infantry. I assume to try and avoid RPG spam

[real scarab]

Its true that you can abuse it massively but I think RPG should have a bit more intensity if BF6 relies on realism in some places

[chrome plank]

O.o The complaints I was mostly seeing was that the mode was too biased against attackers

[nimble bridge]

Maybe only in Liberation Peak, even in Lib Peak you can steamroll the first sector with IFV lol

[lethal cloud]

It is realistic if the RPG uses a HEAT warhead.

[nimble bridge]

Then you get another vehicle on top of that lmao, defence is designed to be unwinnable

[chrome plank]

Not really, a PG-7VL which it looks like we are shooting should have a lethal blast radius of at least 2 meters, potentially as high as 5 meters.

[nimble bridge]

At least not solo, but again whole game feels like you need stacks to be able to play in the first place

Never had a good solo experience in BF6

[quiet ibex]

There are tons of ways to deal with the roof, its annyoing sure but its not an auto win for people that do it, smoke the point, smoke their roof, thermo their roof, svk them, or just AR then if you have good aim even if they respawn at a beacon they aren't gonna do much, generally all the ones I deal with are awful players anyway couldn't hit a snipe on me to save their lives, I am sure there is the occasional actually good player up there but meh

[edgy bluff]

only if u would actually get aim punch when youre getting hit a sniper

[lethal cloud]

I looked it up and you're right. I guess it's just for balance then. I do agree with them though that a projectile that can cross the map very quickly probably shouldn't be lethal if it's in someone's general area.

[chrome plank]

I get why they did it, I am not fully convinced it is the right choice but I get it

[quiet ibex]

its always about balance, I am sure there will be anti infantry launchers that don't do much against armor too

[stuck jasper]

rpg frags

[chrome plank]

I just think about Battlebit where the RPG felt so good, esspecially as a counter sniping/counter entrenched enemy tool. But BF6's weaker RPG and weaker destruction mean it can't serve that role

[quiet ibex]

To be fair the rpg is stupid accurate, you can counter snipe with it pretty easy just aim at the god awful scope flare and fire most snipers dont duck lol

[stuck jasper]

anything can counter a sniper with a few upgrades even smgs

[chrome plank]

Also I'd like to more consistently be able to shoot support deployed cover walls and kill the guy behind the wall, it works sometimes, but it feels like it should work more

[nimble bridge]

AK205 is the best counter sniping weapon tbh

[chrome plank]

I am too adicted to Dakka. I use the L110 when given the choice despite it objectivly not being the best choice

[lethal cloud]

All the weapons in this game become perfect lasers if you put them in semi-automatic fire mode with the match trigger.

[chrome plank]

I mean semi automatic is not really the use for most of the weapons though

[lethal cloud]

I agree, I'm just saying that beyond a certain distance it is almost universally more effective to swap fire modes and click like crazy. I'm not good at FPS games and I win most firefights this way.

[chrome plank]

Generally true. On the otherhand I have a 200 round belt that isn't going to shoot itself

[lethal cloud]

The satisfaction is worth more than the kills lol

[chrome plank]

unironicly true. I play battlfield for the lols more than anything else

[lethal cloud]

Same, which is why C4 is my go-to anti-infantry weapon. Thank you DICE for making them auto-regen without a support bag.

[chrome plank]

I still think that is a bug

[lethal cloud]

I hope not, because if they're going to take my spawn beacon I have to have a reason to play Recon.

[chrome plank]

to me it seems like they have it tagged like all the locked class gadgets (like the TUGS) somehow

I don't think it is some huge balance issue, but it does feel unintended to me

[lethal cloud]

Could be unintended, I was surprised when I realized it was regenerating. But if it's going to regen at the same rate-ish as a grenade I'll spend way too much time standing on a bag

I haven't been in any pre-beta sessions, so I don't know what Recon has beyond the beacon and the C4 but if it's a weak selection I might have to change classes for the first time in 15 years.

[edgy bluff]

problem is there is no aim punch

[nimble bridge]

Just be accurate with your headshots

BF doesn't need COD mechanics such as flinch 🤮

[edgy bluff]

ofc it does

if im hitting him 5 times including 2-3 headshots full auto with ak205 he shouldnt be shooting me with sniper at that point

[nimble bridge]

It should only effect snipers then, not other weapon types. MP7 would be ridiculously OP due to BTK, it's 7-8 BTK which would make opponent's aim impossible to control

[edgy bluff]

ye it would only affect snipers obviously

i think cod flinch is based on the scope youre using anyway, theres like no flinch with red dots but with like 16x scope its huge

[shut geyser]

i hope they fix something for helis, is impossible to fly without getting stinged

ppl with 5 stingers, and you have only 1 flare with 30 sec cd

[hasty lance]

Boys, what are we playing when the beta ends?

[autumn cipher]

Yes cookie totally, its really disgusting. Its hilarious you are flying with all the time stinged. Its impossible to play

I hope they fix helis

[lethal cloud]

My plan is to stare at the wall for two months and contemplate C4 throwing angles.

[hasty lance]

Lmaoo

[true schooner]

Id like to also add having the full auto weapons in single fire felt useless so the trigger upgrade felt like it was void, you can easily full auto at far distances or tap and everyone is going to spray you anyway

Maybe the guns could have another upgrade to replace that

[fair summit]

I loved week 1 I disliked week 2

[chrome plank]

I enjoyed both, but week 2 playlists made me play it way less

[fair summit]

Definitely

[lethal cloud]

Depends on the weapon. The B36 is inaccurate at range even when bursting. I got wayyy more kills in semi-auto

[fair summit]

Dice has to get in their mind they can't mess around with the gun locked mode, let there be both like in week 1, dont use it as bait

[shadow iron]

Why

[true schooner]

The g36 assault rifle? I found that to be one of the more accurate ones to use, atleast with grips and a long barrel and suppressor/muzzle break

[digital niche]

yeah its happened to me once for the entire weekend

[languid violet]

Anyone else having this issue??

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mpzuhj/anyone_having_problems_with_bf6_beta_party_system/

[ebon beacon]

reddit told him the game wasn't fun

[autumn cipher]

5 bullets of stingers... omg... you can go with rpg and stinger... who thought this was going be a good idea?

[digital niche]

there's a bug where if you slide on uneven terrain, the game still thinks you're sliding and being ADS you'll have the insane spread still.

you'll have to slide on even terrain to correct it again. and be mindful not to spam slide all the time, at least for this beta.

[fair summit]

Playlists, gun locked mode being ignored, the new map is terrible, game feels too fast, weird matchmaking and lags

Still im positive about this game

[chrome plank]

I've still had a lot of fun, and am leaving the beta more positive than I started 2 weeks ago.

But the game does have things that bother me, the playlists and matchmaking being by far the worst aspects of the game. I am so tired of just playing the same map on the same side again and again

[lethal cloud]

I was not aware of that bug, but what I'm describing is still true in the firing range. B36 in semi-automatic mode with Match Trigger attachment has zero bullet spread no matter how fast I click.

[digital niche]

oh okay

[lethal cloud]

It's completely revolutionary in-game. Probably too good. I questioned why the attachment existed and why it would be 15 points but I have convinced all my friends to stop bursting and starting using semi-auto and it's a revelation.

Whether that's a problem for balance is not up to me, but it's interesting at least.

[quiet ibex]

locked mode and unlocked play the same in my experiece, and the new map is really good if you learn how to play it, too many people play it as rush to C and throw yourself into a meat grinder, the map has so much space around its outer zones with great sight lines to hold and stuff if you take your time and slow down, let the adhd zoomer players come to you.

[quiet ibex]

bursting is still gonna win except at extreme extreme ranges as long as you can control yourself well, though yeah for the average person they might win more on semi just for ease of use

[tender hill]

How do I know if I get accepted in labs, there is no email comfirmation or anything for registering

[quiet ibex]

Labs is currently closed

[chrome plank]

I don't hate Empire State, I don't love it either but the map is in the "fine" category

[shadow iron]

I play on lock only and no lag for me game is fast ( yeah is not bf2 ) but if u watch vidéo on bf3 on grand bazar or métro its the same its so fast

[quiet ibex]

I like it more every time i play it and find a new area

[quiet ibex]

bf4 is even worse, the mid air strafe glitch in that game made movement insane

[edgy bluff]

visibility is so bad in this game

[muted stag]

BF4 TV glitch 🥲

[true schooner]

What settings and res are you using

[quiet ibex]

really? dunno how, if you even get a crosshair near a person 50 meters or under you get a giant dorito for yourself to see them, even through smoke sometimes

if anything visibility is too high because of the crappy self spotting

[edgy bluff]

1920x1440 dlss 4 on quality

[true schooner]

Have you gone into custom or advanced settings and messed around?

Maybe disable some grainy or filter settings or disable blurs

[edgy bluff]

everything is disabled or at lowest settings, it aint my first rodeo

[quiet ibex]

lowest setting isn't necessairy going to increase visiblity, if anything it might do the opposite, quit listening to stupid youtubers that say everything low even when certain settings cost no fps

[quaint lagoon]

7680x2160, plenty visible

[edgy bluff]

u think theey dont cost anything but they do

[quiet ibex]

No its a proven fact that certain settings have no cost, Textures cost vram not fps, mesh quality doesn't drop any fps, they only actual settings in this game that effect fps are volumetrics, sun shadow quality, global illumination, and screen space reflections

all low vs all ultra is barely a 30 fps differnce regardless of what you do at 4k. and its all from those settings I mentioned

[quaint lagoon]

some settings are dependant on the features of the gpu and components, a setting on one computer could be free where another computer it's not
sort of the downside of PC gaming is almost everybody's computer is different
not saying you are wrong, just adding more context

[tender hill]

Only the mid air strafe? what about mouzou lol

[astral pasture]

Yep, that’s the real cheat code🫡

[sweet elk]

Parlays been hitting back to back let’s hit again! Send me friend request or message for sure 💯 winning picks mate

[ebon beacon]

☝️ scam btw

[quiet ibex]

report it

[fossil dove]

Is it just me or do snipers one shot body more often in this beta than previous bf titles

[quiet ibex]

sweet spot mechanic

[prime terrace]

I would like to see a skin with a gas mask like sas implemented.

[lethal cloud]

I didn't know that was still a thing. They don't show that anywhere in the menus.

[quiet ibex]

first time since bf1 afaik

[digital niche]

guize how do i use the range finder attachment for the sniper rifle?

[ebon beacon]

People complaining about the "overly big" scope glint when they're too dumb to realize the "big rainbowy glint" means you're in sweet spot range

[quiet ibex]

I am not sure thats what it means... but a big glint is actually beneficial lol its harder to hit a headshot if you can't see a head

[edgy bluff]

its way too bright

[fossil dove]

Yeah but man it happens so much more than I remember in the old days I wonder what the rage is compared to the old days. In the old days it was also different for each sniper to right

[edgy bluff]

that mechanic shouldnt even be in the game

[quiet ibex]

seemed to me to be 75-100 meters or so

and its only upper chest and head not full body

if you are going to rely on body shots you are better off with the SVK its 2 tap to the body at all ranges and fires as fast as you can hit the trigger basically, you can have a second bullet in the air before the first hits so there is no reaction time possible

[fossil dove]

Oh don’t get me started on dmrs hate dmrs with a passion lol

[quiet ibex]

I just discovered a tennis court on top of the E tunnel, holy shit what i good position lol, I discover more on Empire every time I play, and i have played it 20 times

[lethal cloud]

That court is such a power position

[quiet ibex]

I never knew it was there, just happened to see the zip line

[hazy pecan]

had a little issue logging in to ea with steam had to use my tab button to nav mounse input dont work

[fair summit]

So basically your tip is to camp but mask it as "playing strategically".

[fair summit]

Yeah I remember them no need to watch videos. And yes you're right but those were just a couple of maps in a greater pool. This last map especially is designed in a way lots of spaces get ignored by players because its not convenient to go there to help the team

[quiet ibex]

this entire game is about holding points to win points, the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT IS TO "CAMP STRATEGICALLY"

jesus christ, this is an ojective based game

[shadow iron]

Play smart bro 🙂

[quiet ibex]

The last match I had was full of idiots, even asked nicely if we could please try to hold B since its by our HQ.... nope... just a bunch of bs said in chat and what happens, we lose by 400, you can't win Empire if you don't at minimum hold the point by your uncap

[sweet elk]

Parlays been hitting back to back let’s hit again! Send me friend request or message for sure 💯 winning picks mate

[glad cypress]

hii all, my interface in gamew dont show nothing, why?

[lethal cloud]

Agreed. Holding B is the key to holding C. Hold both and you probably win the match.

[quiet ibex]

as long as your cap is over there yeah, if not you can still try to hold it if you are good thats what results in lik 800 0 matches

on the other side if you can hold A D E you are good for C prolly

[shadow iron]

Yeah i know i play only on full squad for carry the game 😂

[nimble bridge]

Support crate's deploy speed and equipment recharge rate doesn't match with the pace of the game tbh, wanting players to sit still in a supply crate for 20 seconds in order to get 1 grenade is awful and makes you a sitting duck, supply crates should work like 2042's supply crates imo, we shouldn't need to wait on top of it for 20 seconds, we should be able to move around, especially annoying when you can reset the timer. Supply crate deploy speed should also be faster imo. It's a bit slow.

[shadow iron]

We have many new player he dont understand how win ticket he just try to kill i know its usefull but let them understand how win

[quiet ibex]

I love killing but I usually do it around 2-3 points to maximize its effectiveness if I can, depends how a game goes

[nimble bridge]

Holding C is the key in Empire State since C can rotate to everywhere, if you lose C you'll lose the match, also somehow safer than areas like D or A despite being a fishbowl which is historically an awful area style to hold in BF games

[silk wing]

Developer, fix the TTK okay? It's too fast, and you simply can't dodge a trade because you die too quickly.

[fossil dove]

whats teh deal with when you throw a frag at someones feet and all it gives you is enemy suppressed?

[fair summit]

Uuh "so much space around its outer zones with great sight lines to hold" didn't sound like you were talking about holding objective points

[lethal cloud]

Controlling OBJs means controlling the areas around the OBJs too. There are a lot of places on Empire you need to control if you want to have the sites

[edgy bluff]

takes too long for gl ammo, its good 30 seconds and then someone moves it or its gone just before u get one and now u have to start from 0

[fair summit]

Literally can be applied in any map

[nimble bridge]

Well yeah, that's the point

[fair summit]

Yup

[quiet ibex]

half the objectives on empire are on the outer side of the map

[fair summit]

Well would be difficult to have them all in the middle considering how small it is

[quiet ibex]

can't tell that to randoms in the matches, because all they see is C

[wanton cipher]

Hey, I don't know if anyone can help me but for the challenges with the one where you have to repair 3,000 damage it won't count any of the repairing I'm doing now even though I'm already at 2 and 1/2 thousand

[quiet ibex]

should count, maybe someone else is beating you to the repair or something

[wanton cipher]

I know it is repairing because I'm healing the tanks. It's just not counting it in the challenge

[fair summit]

That's because the map is poorly designed. As I said there's a lot of "not used" spaces which makes it a vicious cycle because you wouldn't help the team going there so none does

[lethal cloud]

Friend just had this issue an hour ago. That doesn't help but it means it's probably not on your end.

[quiet ibex]

restart your game maybe

[wanton cipher]

I found a fix someone else had the same problem and they just switched from one class to another and used their ability then switched back and it worked

[lethal cloud]

I wasn't really part of Labs until it was too late. Do you vets think DICE will send a survey or anything?

[quiet ibex]

at this stage I doubt it

[lethal cloud]

I have so many good opinions that will go unsaid.

[halcyon lance]

100% agreed

[desert ginkgo]

first cheater encounter 4Feoh1du2X

[chrome plank]

I mean you aren't meant to generally get more grenades unless you are holding a point

It seems very deliberate

[nimble bridge]

Greandes and GLs recharge at a very slow pace, meanwhile recon can passively regen C4

[chrome plank]

I mean C4 regen I am pretty sure is a bug, since it is the only slotable gadget that does it

[nimble bridge]

It's consistent so I doubt about that, 4 C4s are enough to destroy a tank too, pretty sure most recon gadgets has passive regen, I saw some drone gameplay from Labs which also had a regen, makes it unfun to play as assault when you can just use recon with an AR and still have a good explosive power

[chrome plank]

I mean it is not consistent though which why it feels like a bug. All class gadgets (the X button ones) regenerate, but none of the slottable ones does EXCEPT C4. It doesn't follow the same rules. And no not all recon gadgets do, sapwn beacon absolutly does not. It can't even be refilled from an ammo crate unles you haven't placed one yet (which is also weird)

That said, Assault is in fact just a worse class than Recon atm I agree. It is part of why they are moving the spawn beacon to it.

[glacial pagoda]

How do i know i can play the Labs test after registration

[faint stag]

you'll get email invites when invited

[stray lintel]

Signing up for bf labs, doesn't garuantee a closed beta slot

[wary dock]

How to be certain i'm registered to labs ?

[timid otter]

can i register me in bf labs?
This game is really nice i have a great feeling when im play
You go fast down and hawe most time fast kils i like it nice done please dont the game with microtransaktion
I love battlefield again since bf 4

[jolly lodge]

I noticed a glitch with the map one time and with my quest

I repaired health as an engineer multiple times in multiple matches but my progress for the challenge wouldn't move

I even have a recording of the matches, as well as the map glitch, idk how to explain it bc im stupid

My PS App is acting up so I can't upload the captures here

I guess I can explain the map glitch. It was on Liberation Peak(I believe) and I fell under the map for a second while I was sprinting to an objective

[mellow wyvern]

Today💔

[past thistle]

As a BF2 veteran with 33 hrs in open beta - the game still needs more BF and less CoD. Everyone is talking about maps and I agree. I don't understand 24v24 Breakthrough without vehicles. I don't understand Empire State, that's just CoD Map which plays horribly. There are too many game modes. I would make "CoD Playlist" (or you called it CQC) that would cycle Dominion, KOTH and Rush. Then just remove them from the other playlists and focus on BF game modes. I believe if you have numbers on those modes, they will be high, but that's only because people wanted to do achievements. I also think that the game needs a commander. I believe plenty of people would cooperate, but they have no way how to do that. If there was a simple way how to assign one squad to the tank (driver, shooter, 2 engs), the game experience would improve immensely, the same goes for another squad getting heli + jet. Then just spread the other squads among objectives and assign attack/defend. That's it, nothing complicated. Coop game needs coop mechanics. Also highlight how many of each class the team has. With random people defending a tank push we always either had too many engineers being unable to repel infantry or too little and the tank was owning us. Otherwise, I think the game is solid. It's a good compromise between hardcore mil-sims such and arcade shooters. Yeah... and balance shotguns.. but I think it is a map issue, not a weapon issue. Except the exploit with sniping slugs. I also don't understand some of the weapon upgrades. Why does the bolt-action sniper rifle have 2 optics and bazillion red dots? Why does the shotgun have x4 scope?! There are many more little things I would like to see fixed, but I don't want this to be and essay. Cheers and keep shooting. ❤️ EDIT: One more thing - spawns. Which ties to map design. I think that BF is about knowing where the frontline is. By that I don't want to remove flanking, but on some maps the spawns are horrible. You get killed in 3 seconds.

Plus closed weapons should be default...

[cedar flax]

can you explain closed weapons to me as a new player to battlefield? i have not played any battlefield before.

[past thistle]

You cannot play sniper class with an LMG...

[karmic scaffold]

100% agree. Currently, some of the game modes and weapon performance feel very COD like. An entire magazine or the best part of it, to get a kill is diabolical. It needs to be tailored to a more 'realistic' or 'mature' audience, or at least find the balance between the fast paced COD style and veteran BF2 experience.

[cedar flax]

so each class has own weapons aka. can only play certain weapons. got it. thanks

[past thistle]

Yeah, og BF2 had locked weapons per class per faction. I kinda liked that, but its too oldschool for modern game with dozens of guns.

[past thistle]

I doubt that anyone relevant reads this, but hey, I did my part.

[quiet ibex]

Breakthrough has vehicles though just not on Empire its an Infantry map, its also possibly the best Infantry map I have ever played AFTER I learned it, without map knowledge its an aboslute cluster fuck and you have no idea what is going on and I geniunely think people play it once or twice then give up on it and never touch it again and thats a huge mistake with that map.

[fringe shuttle]

We need the server browser to come back. Also active admins are desperately needed.

Otherwise the game will be plagued with cheaters and glitchers

[vivid bone]

Loved both weekends, had some great matches. But i agree with most people here, the challenges to unlock weapons like BF3 was great, we all hope that there will be more classic maps like fire storm. We prefer ALL BF3 & BF4 maps 🤣
And hope there will be more classic stuff with new gameplay. I had alot of difficulty binding the keys on console. Couldn't find the right BF3/4 helicopter settings, i used to play legacy/alternate, but it wasn't working. I couldn't find the right way to turn the helicopter.

[fringe shuttle]

Last past hour… ridiculous amount of folks are using the roof glitch

[fossil dove]

i dont like it much, but i dont hate it either i think it has a higher skill celling as a map vs the other maps well have to see more of the other infantry maps to really compare it

[quiet ibex]

You just have to avoid the C meat grinder, the D to E side is brilliant and finding the tennis court above the tunnel on E and how it connected to a flank on the B side HQ was the highlight of my time with the map, every time i played it, which was probably 30 times, I found a new area or route, the only part that I question is the jungle gazeebo side lots of camping in there

[past thistle]

I disagree. 24v24 with first objective being one capture point is just bad map design. Especially with people running around spawn killing.

[quiet ibex]

I am talking conquest exclusively, but I had no issue on breaktrhough I won that point every single time with smokes and getting in the hole by the bus

[quick cedar]

what time the beta end?

[fossil dove]

prob like 9 mins

[mild girder]

it wont end instantly, you will be able to still queue for like 10mins after

[past thistle]

Ok, I dont thing I have played conquest at Empire at all thinking about it. The issue with BT on Empire wasnt that it was hard, but it was chaotic and one team got stomped everytime, regardless of attack or defend.

[quiet ibex]

Fair, I only ran it for the challenge and to help a friend with a challenge didn't think much of it since matches were like 10 minutes tops lol

[sharp rock]

Question i never played bf before also no cod or other fps games but for mee the game looks super nice what does it make u feel this game is not what bf stand for cus i honestly have no clue what bf dna is but am really hyped for this game tbh. @past thistle

[sharp rock]

2 min

[slow tusk]

💀

[sharp rock]

Just am curious to u opinion about this as long time bf veteran i am just overjoyed by the nice design of the game and have no references to put them into perspective 😞

[past thistle]

BF is large maps, vehicles, tactical movement, covering angles and playing roles. CoD is small maps, infantry only, running around, rushing, bunny hopping, respawn killing... and I say that as someone who played ranked CoD for like a year.

Also, you almost never "defend" in CoD as charging is always beneficial.

[sharp rock]

I see but how u would say this game is if they released the bigger maps will it be good or has the same issues ? Cus i like game also could be cus i like genre and never played any fps game before

[quiet ibex]

depends on the game mode, but yeah... thats unfortunately how most play it nowadays, especially since maps keep getting smaller and speed faster, used to on domination you'd defend the mid point a lot more and not flip spawns but alas that kind of CoD is kind of gone

[kind granite]

Closed beta today or ?

[sharp rock]

I liked the classes with their own roles that makes it add an extra layer to the game where u could potentially use it brain

Cus the maps weren't that big for my feeling

[past thistle]

Liberation peak was the only BF map imho... with its issues ofc, but it was... CoD noobs call it sniper map, but then failed to capture anything with their 20 snipers

[quiet ibex]

It was easily the worst map in the beta because of its bugs and issues plus the mountain goat epidemic

E was severly poorly designed there is litereally no cover from snipers on that entire point really

[edgy moon]

Ima till playing

[nova vessel]

Most of the time the map was just full of flashbangs from over half the enemy team sniper aiming at you 24/7

[quiet ibex]

The only actually good part of that map was the B and D side and partially C if you played ring around the mountain to those 3 points

the A and F points basically never saw action unless someone tried to back cap you which was rare. I am not saying its an outright awful map, but it definitely needs the most work of the 4 to be good even without the bugs

[past thistle]

Yeah, I meant more size, use of vehicles, feel, engage diatance, etc.

[quiet ibex]

Yeah, I didn't hate it or anything, I just think its the worst of the 4 lol.

[past thistle]

Btw smokes are op and I love it.

[quiet ibex]

First point on breakthrough is an abomination though, teams are never organized enough to smoke and push that with the sniper and tank cover defenders get

I never take smokes off I run them on every class and ever game mode so far lol

[hushed lily]

An out of bounds needs to be put on the roofs of Cairo. Over everything higher than the one you are meant to be on.

[weak obsidian]

still better than Fao Fortress

[calm seal]

I think people could parachute from C to A on liberation peak which seemed a bit unfair since you can't do that to F

[quiet ibex]

imma be honest i remember so few BF1 maps because I hated the BF1 gunplay lol, I remember Argonne Forest and Sinai Desert and maybe a few others

[weak obsidian]

I don't get why people like Sinai 💀

[quiet ibex]

I didn't overly like it, I just remember it because it was the beta map lol

[weak obsidian]

yeah, idk its just sniper haven because half the map is just sand dunes

[quiet ibex]

Thats basically what every large BF map boils down to in my experience thats why I like the smaller maps or the denser large maps with cover

Oh, I forgot about Ballroom Blitz I remember that bf1 map lol

and St Quentin Scar, hmm I remember more than I thought looking at pics

[humble plaza]

I’m surprised the beta hasn’t ended yet

[merry shell]

The foundation of the beta was very solid, but several things really need to be improved before release. Performance is one of the biggest issues: with my 3060 Ti and Ryzen 7 5700X I was only getting around 60–70 FPS in smaller modes like King of the Hill, while the All-Out Warfare playlist was basically unplayable for me with just 40–50 FPS in Conquest or Breakthrough.
Squad Deathmatch also feels very poorly balanced. Enemies often spawn directly behind you, and the result is pure chaos where everyone just gets kills by shooting someone in the back, only to die the exact same way themselves.
The audio must also be improved. Footsteps are practically non-existent, which is very disappointing considering how amazing audio design used to be in past Battlefield titles.
Finally, either the TTK or the movement needs to be adjusted. The current combination of extremely fast TTK/TTD and movement that punishes aggressive plays makes it nearly impossible to push. Campers consistently win gunfights, which slows the game down and makes it boring with almost no skill expression. Many people might not like it, but the game absolutely needs either longer TTK or improved movement to create a proper skill gap and keep it fun in the long run.

[humble plaza]

The ttk is perfect it’s realistic even the devs said it and I agree

[quiet ibex]

games performance was amazing imo, your cpu is just getting a bit aged, this game eats cpu and keeps asking for more, even my 9800x3d was my bottleneck at 4k, very slightly mind you, but it was the bottleneck

[humble plaza]

The movement needs some fixing

[quiet ibex]

in what way? only issues I noticed was occasionally buggy mantleing of certain terrain

[humble plaza]

Idk if it’s my settings or what Ik it’s not sensitivity because I alr fixed that the movement in the game itself isn’t the best but I still like it

[crimson moss]

Its the same as 4

[quiet ibex]

what is? gunplay? absolutely f'ing not, they added a super duper extra amount of bloom to automatics in BF1 to simulate the old ass ww1 weapons and it plays like booty cheeks. the only decent fun guns in BF1 were snipers

[crimson moss]

Youre playing large mode game thats purely an arcade game and has no realistic or milsim elements to the game

[crimson moss]

Its the same, spread increase, spread decrease, ready to fire state

[quiet ibex]

its the same system not the same amount, BF1 increased the effects of bloom by a lot

[humble plaza]

Can’t wait till they fix the movement

[crimson moss]

Yeah because you cant have spammable and hyper accurate dmrs lol, the gunplay in 1 is fine just git gud tbh

[quiet ibex]

err... you have something backwards thats exactly what BF1 had it had greater first bullet accuracy than BF4, single shot weapons and snipers were super accurate and the only fun guns in the game. the autos were the ones that were unusable outside of hipfire which was just completely unfun

[crimson moss]

Weapon accuraccy generally means amount of spread btw

Because the longer/faster you fire the more spread there is aka the more inaccurate your weapon becomes

[quiet ibex]

Yes? why are you repeating what I just said. this is exactly what I said, autos sucked single shot guns were good

[crimson moss]

Autos didnt suck

They were even the best guns in the game tbh

[quiet ibex]

they absolutely fucking sucked, they required "trench" versions where hipfire was better than ads, when your system is designed with less spread in hipfire than ads you broke your system

[static terrace]

hip fire was odly accurate

[quiet ibex]

they simply weren't fun to use

[crimson moss]

Literally nothing changed after ads

[quiet ibex]

Then you obviously never played BF1, nice talking to you, you are either remembering wrong or just wrong in general, trench guns were more accurate in hipfire than ads thats what they were

[crimson moss]

I have 2.5k hours in bf1 and im a top 60 something player in that game, nice try though

[tough lily]

Why is the battle feild community so boring, im typing in all chat defibs only to close out the beta and yall still be shooting mf and crying

[quiet ibex]

thats good for you, you are still wrong though.

[crimson moss]

Nah you just think youre right but lack evidence or credibility to talk about gunplay

[remote quiver]

liberation peak has at least a 75% winrate on defense, its horribly balanced

[tough lily]

You're mid yaint good

[crimson moss]

Lol

[tough lily]

Stop the cap

[static terrace]

Mate, they would never XD.

[tough lily]

Exactly yall boring

[crimson moss]

Ngl part of it is purely because of the fact that people are just too bad at the game to actually effectively attack on peak

[chrome plank]

People are REALLY bad at attacking

[crimson moss]

They just run in and die til the game ends or afk in redzone

[static terrace]

people still tried to use guns in fun servers life knife/defib and pistol in BF3

[quiet ibex]

because they refuse to use smokes

[tough lily]

Boring zzz 😴

[willow knot]

what time does the beta end? Or already ended?

[static terrace]

no set time, they will give a heads up 1 hour before hand

[chrome plank]

They refuse to use smokes properly and they refuse to push when they do get windows. They just form a battle line and get shredded while defenders endlessly revive themselves. Just bleed tickets while accomplishing nothing

[quiet ibex]

not to mention they always give up even if you are 1 foot away from reviving them...

[fossil dove]

who remebers bad company days of msging chat in sqaud rush knife only

[static terrace]

ALways, On anouther hand I was hopinh they were going to bring back the cinimatic endings

[quiet ibex]

my memories of BC2 were on Heavy Metal with the .50 cal sniper crouched on the hillside overlooking the one point and sniping all match lol. crouched obviously because they removed prone from that game, also using the REX pistol if anyone tried to come kill me or steal my spot

[frosty lance]

When is the beta ending

[quiet ibex]

TBD, watch #bf6-beta-info community guys said they'd give about an hour warning before it goes down

[cedar flax]

does the "ending soon" post count ass the hour warning?

[magic topaz]

nope

[quiet ibex]

no

[static terrace]

When alt f4 is father than quite to menu button

[past thistle]

People cant play it... half of the time people pick recon and dont push at all

[ionic sluice]

Love it. If they don't add pink cosmetics and add some bigger map (in cairo style :P) we done! BATTLEFIELD IS BACK.

[cyan hearth]

I have recorded a match victory in attack
Will share soon

[cyan hearth]

What this man said

[pearl hinge]

I think the bigger issue is that people are picking assault more often than medics, and those who are medics are doing the classic "run past downed friendly 1ft away without reviving"

[onyx nebula]

Where can I leave feedback on the beta?

[pearl hinge]

just seen this on reddit, might be better compared to forums and discord: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mtjcmt/bf6_community_feedback_board/

[rigid relic]

and then there are medics like me 😄 i was one time best of all players with zero kills 😄 (just support as medic and engi lol )

[onyx nebula]

Thanks, wasnt sure if there was a proper button for it

[pearl hinge]

unfortunately not

and discord isn't great either because feedback will get lost unless DICE and the other studios are looking at specific keywords

[pearl hinge]

I swap between assault, medic and engineer quite often depending on team balance 😛

[onyx nebula]

Ik actual bflabs people have one, wasnt sure if there was a pleabian button lol

[rigid relic]

games like BF need more restrictions to work good. i would be totally ok if each squad could have only 2 assautl one medic one engi and snipers just 3 per team overall. stronger weapon rstrictions too 😛

[thin frost]

I’m not sure if this is the place, but if I throw a grenade or launch a rpg, if. Someone kills ke after I have launched/thrown projectile, said projectile should still be active until it explodes right?

[rigid relic]

with max 3 sniper per team (like good old bf3 custom servers) u dont need this stupid sniperglow. it was totally fine that the sniper is hard to find then... i think the modern dice dont understand that

[cedar flax]

So Battlefield 6 is real, I guess that unfortunately the game doesn’t have omnimovements like Call of Duty Black Ops 6.

[onyx nebula]

I like the movement how it is, feels just like bf4 movement

[rigid relic]

movement is nice 🙂

[cedar flax]

Ah ok thanks for telling me what you think, guys. My apologies, I mistalkenly thought that omnimovements was the new revolutionary mechanics for new or upcoming FPS games making us feel like a real life hero soldier.
That’s why I imagined Battlefield 6 with omnimovements before being aware this game exists, sorry again.

[static fable]

movement is perfect

[fossil dove]

People would just leave if they didn’t get what they wanted.

[true schooner]

Oh lmao that was the last match again damm

[fringe cobalt]

game just stopped its over

[true schooner]

Im gonna miss it already 😔 im already getting withdrawals smh

[fringe cobalt]

meto

[digital niche]

The good old classic Battlefield experience

[fringe cobalt]

i enjoyed it

[static terrace]

Is dice sponsoring a rehab for all of us

[edgy narwhal]

They gave us our Iwo Jima, if you know the reference.

[hazy trellis]

so i need to feel pain until 10 oct?

[fallow sundial]

We all do 😂 hopefully the game will launch and I’ll be able to turn frame gen on 9070XT on full screen without any issues

[hazy trellis]

I Have buy a new computer and im not pretty sure anymore if this computer is good, my fps was trash

[fallow sundial]

Well I have a brand new system dos na it’s @1440p was awesome 160+ but frame gen bumps it to 300 but could only use it on windowed mode if it’s full screen or fullscreen border less it would drop to 80 90 and supper stuttery

[hazy trellis]

Can u help me little bit to understand ? I have GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and AMD Ryzen 7 7700 in my world isnt that so bad?

My fps is around 80-100fps

[fallow sundial]

No that’s a decent system to play this game

[hazy trellis]

But my buddy have worst stuff in his box. He have 3060 hand old ryzen 5 and have more than me.....

[harsh barn]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[empty lotus]

The actual game better have a server browser EA/Dice!!

[versed haven]

Are the Battlepass rewards for B6 inspired by BF6 or are they cosmetics that will be usable in BF6? (in the new bf 2042 battlepass)

[fallow sundial]

Wait for the drivers and the game to come out it should be good by that time we hope

[hazy trellis]

Ok!

[pearl hinge]

https://bf6.feedback/5

[tropic dust]

Dayum kinda big update on bf2042

[tropic dust]

Pretty much not supposed to

See if you have the optimal BIOS stuff activated, memory clock and dual channel, etc

Also check drivers

[empty lotus]

@pearl hinge thank you

[brisk holly]

Glad i got all my challenges done whole getting insane lag

[strong vale]

Hi All 👋 on battlefield 2042 there was a Badboys HC server. Does anyone know if there is a discord group for this server?

[calm oyster]

they probably have it listed on the server bio when you click on it. thats where most severs put them

[strong vale]

The server isn’t showing up at the moment, it looks like it’s been down since the BF6 beta. I noticed a lot of players on that server used the BAD clan tag, and there was usually a BAD admin present in the matches. Since the server isn’t listed right now, I just wanted to check what’s going on and if there’s any update on when it’ll be back online. Wish I knew the discord group

[trail glen]

Hi I just finished doing the bf labs survey how did i know if im accepted into the program or not?

[random rover]

weekend 2 stats out yet?

[robust mountain]

beta still open ?

[calm oyster]

check

[lament scarab]

Activision getting called out by EA about the silly skins in call of duty but they are refusing to ban a known cheater making 189M views a day aim botting in the beta.

Jesus christ, can't make this shit up.

[dark pike]

Who is this in reference to?

[lament scarab]

If you know you know. Im not going to provide a piece of garbage more exposure.

[brazen flicker]

some twink

[lament scarab]

Yep

[dark pike]

Oh them, yeah they have a 2 KD and exclusively farm for clips so I’m not surprised they have some sus clips

[lament scarab]

41 KD

[dark pike]

In the beta? I saw xFactor’s video on her and he looked up her first weekend stats

[lament scarab]

Nope.

Not them.

[tawny frigate]

I might be under a rock. Whats Battlefield Labs? Is it the same as that app we used to have for battlefield 4?

[dark pike]

Testing environment for Battlefield 6 content

[dark pike]

OoooO then I really don’t know who you’re talking about my bad

[tawny frigate]

Yall talking about that Cat girl and the cheating allegations?

[dark pike]

Apparently not, although I will say she really rage baited everyone effectively

[tawny frigate]

My take on it- Is there was a missed option in settings. Allows you to keybind a button to instant flick or turn around.

Not many used it or noticed it from what I seen from streamers. So that aline is gonna look Sus.

My other take is- If they did aimbot and they want them banned. Then EA gonna have to ban every person exploiting glitch spots during the Beta. To rack up KD and hold points.

But again. Its a Beta for a reason. To fix that stuff

[dark pike]

I do wonder if she was using that but you can get the same effect by having relatively high sens and flinging your wrist around

Throw yourself into the enemy team when they aren’t paying attention and you’ll get a clip like that at least 1 out of 100 times. Post it on the internet, get accused of cheating, get a bunch of new followers, get cleared of cheating, profit. My main issue is that I don’t think her play style is that helpful for the team, but there are people that both get no kills AND capture no flags so..

[zinc tide]

RileyCS plays csgo premier/ranked a little too much so there's that.

[digital niche]

if DICE is gonna bend the knee to streamer demands to divert all resources to battle royale, im afraid this game is gonna die a slow death IMO

using battle royale as a CRUTCH so their professional careers in online streaming doesn't tank.

[fallow sundial]

This so called content creators should not have any input on how the game is made at all, it should be a community effort instead, pushing nicky menag and the buttheads for cod was the most dumb thing, hopefully they wont do this at all here and the battle royale id say do it but in the battlefield essence no op weapons and stuff no crazy perks like cod but thats my opinion anyway

im hoping that when the game launches the maps are proper bf maps and not cod style, there sould he more large scale maps than the cqc like 6 huge ones and 3 small ones

[digital niche]

hard to gaurantee maps not being cod style because ... you know ... vince is at the head right now

[fallow sundial]

he should know better then xD BF is not COD, if they try to do it what will happen they will loose both player bases

[digital niche]

i like to say that there's a little bit of vince's signature at almost every game that he was the head of. its like a common theme with him.

[fleet token]

Is there a survey to take regarding the open bets?

[fallow sundial]

true, lets see when the game comes out anyway hopefully they will do a proper job for once

[ebon shore]

Is there a way to still sign up for labs??

[digital niche]

for BF6 beta? you're too late for that now lol

[ebon shore]

Nah I played both betas I was talking about for After cause those who have access will still be able to play labs as they bring the new updates an fix’s from the data from both betas

[digital niche]

should be on dice's website. for me i just googled bf labs and signed up.

[ebon shore]

Might have to do it on my laptop cause Mobile is trash

[dark pike]

Are they opening up labs again?

I think I remember them saying they would

[ebon shore]

They said labs will be open for a couple weeks after the 2nd beta ends so they can test the fix’s an changes coming

[dark pike]

Nice 😎

[ebon shore]

Have y’all see the rewards you get for BF6 when you play 2042 imma get on that here in a sec an check out all that

[dark pike]

Yeah I’m pretty excited for that

[ebon shore]

With a returning map with a Active Volcano

[dark pike]

Imagine they port all portal maps into BF6 👀

[fleet token]

How do you know if you get in? I filled out the survey but it just prompted me to join the discord

[ebon beacon]

I do not care for vtubers, or anyone who says that stupid "-UH" at the end of a sentence ("Nooooooo-UH" or "DUUUUDE-UH")

[still sinew]

Uhhhh... what? 💀

[sweet geode]

did anyone else get the survey to fill out from EA.. and it just ask you one question?

[wise river]

Now that OB is over anyone know if they will start accepting Labs participants again? I applied a while back but never got in and after OB I am ITCHING to keep playing 😂

[wraith ermine]

I reinstalled BF4 to curb that itch 😂

[pearl hinge]

This so called content creators should not have any input on how the game is made at all, it should be a community effort instead
part of the reason why https://bf6.feedback is a thing I suppose 😄

[wise river]

Enough people playing on steam to get any decent matches? I dont want to play sweat fest matches but I was also considering reinstalling bf4 for the the same reason lmfao

[sand heart]

Mate i reinstalled BF5 lol

[wraith ermine]

I'm on Xbox

[pearl hinge]

it's crossplay between platforms on PC isn't it? (Steam, EA, etc.)

[wise river]

Pretty sure

[fallow sundial]

Same hahaha

[steady wharf]

The obliteration mode will be present in bf6? Does someone know?

[patent anvil]

Lowkey we need another open beta 😭

[wispy prawn]

^^

[past thistle]

Classic BF experience is tank rushing forward while 6 engs run after him being gunned down by LMGs and snipers - all of them dying in the end.

[pseudo warren]

Yes

[halcyon lance]

I'd love a beta focused on the larger maps

[paper bolt]

Any word on whether or not there will be a setting to disable the color grading on launch? The filters kind of bug me.

[gritty oyster]

Beta fim

[fossil dove]

Is it just me or does that sun brightness need toned down? Seems like it was bright as hell no matter what settings I tested out

[frosty lance]

It's stupid looking in buildings from outside you can't see shit it's too dark but when you look outside from inside the building everything Is too bright

[boreal tendon]

Any news about BF6 campaign?

[fossil dove]

Facts I literally thought it was a me issue when I be looking into those builds I just look for the enemy ping and just shoot if I get the kill sick if not oh well lmao 9 out of 10 times when just using the red dot sights I couldn’t even see my own redical I also hope we will be able to change the color of them

[solid meadow]

will we be able to change the gender of the classes at launch? not sure if that's been confirmed

[tepid plinth]

It’s a solid ‘maybe’ at the moment

[solid meadow]

fair

[deft coral]

Does it make sense to uninstall battlefield 6 open beta, or should we wait for something else?

[sweet geode]

what do u feel you should do?

[sweet geode]

...Hey wait until you go outside for real 😁

[deft coral]

I guess I should wait.

[sweet geode]

thats your answer then 😊

[snow crypt]

Please bring back the couch.

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield-hardline-couch-warfare-gif-25599252

[fresh minnow]

mh

[cerulean moth]

definitely

[simple badger]

They need to focus on rush mode. The reason bad company 2 was the greatest game ever made was because of the rush mode. The maps need to change in a way that requires a different strategy from sector to sector.
The maps in the city are the exact same play the whole game. It gets old. Bad company had maps where you had to invade an island via black hawks. Next sector was leave the island and attack a beach with boats. Next sector was a push up a mountain. That's what people will love.

The cities are also barely destructible. Not even close to bad company

[violet compass]

So you didn’t like bad company?

[chrome plank]

I mean they just need to not try and force all mode on all maps for that. BC2 was good because maps were designed for Rush. If they just designed some actual Rush maps the mode would be great again :P, instead of just shoving MCOMs onto conquest maps

[quiet ibex]

cities have never been fully destructable, only houses have been which is the case here as well as can be seen on point b and d of liberation, the reason why most folks thing everything is destructable in BC2 is because thats the only kind of building that really existed in BC2, there were no dense urban cities in BC2

[chrome plank]

I mean even comparing that BC2 still in generally hade more destruction per building. There were lots of walls in BF6 that felt like should be able to knock down that I couldn't

They are trying hard to avoid the loss of cover issue BC2 suffered which I get, but I'd rather they go a bit more into it. But maybe other maps will and we have not seen it yet

[quiet ibex]

You can completely level the stand alone buildings in BF6 just like BC2. Interior walls yeah some can't be obviously for gameplay reasons, its just not an issue you saw in BC2 because BC2 didn't have those types of enviroments

[chrome plank]

Not all of them you can, I know liberation peak can't be leveled despite having stand alonebuildings

[quiet ibex]

most of them can be, I think only a couple 2-3 stories ones might have a wall or 2 that can't be to keep cover on the lower side, but I know several on D point and be leveled

and I can't even fully confirm that the other ones can't be its not like I sat there and fully tested all of em honestly

[chrome plank]

I suppose I didn't spend the match trying to C4 them apart, but I know I never saw them get leveled and they took a lot of tank fire

[quiet ibex]

the single story ones can for sure be leveled, just leaves a rubble pile

[chrome plank]

with some exceptions, like the ones the MCOMs get put in

[quiet ibex]

makes sense, I didn't play rush much on that map

[chrome plank]

honestly it was probably my favorite Rush map, the only one featuring Vehicles iirc

[quiet ibex]

fully destroying a house the mcom was in was actually the easiest way to win rush in BC2 so I am actually happy thats not possible honestly lol

[chrome plank]

well MCOMs don't take damage anymore in general, but yeah it was cheesy

BC2 had some silly MCOM stuff like parking a tank and sniping MCOMs with the tank. Great game, great Rush mode, occasionally some bad design outcomes

[quiet ibex]

honestly thinking back I remember certain building couldn't be leveled in BC2 either, especially the larger ones on Arica Harbor all you could do was blow the brick walls out the metal structure stayed up and the lighthouse was indestructible

[simple badger]

Yeah there were some. But the game is also old. It's sad that it's still the best one they have made haha. The maps in bc2 were completely different at the end of each game

[pure terrace]

If they space the MCOMs/capture points out a bit and push the spawns back a bit I think things would feel a lot better. It’s not that the maps are smaller it’s that they play smaller

[quiet ibex]

I doubt they space them too much in 12 v 12

[simple badger]

You shouldnt be able to defend both locations from 1 spot with a shotgun

[pure terrace]

I don’t think it needs to be a huge distance, but enough to where a player really has to commit to one and not easily run between the two

Same for spawns. If a defending team gets rinsed they shouldn’t be back on the objective in a flash. They made an adjustment with respawn times so I’m cautiously optimistic they will made a few other small changes

[chrome plank]

some of the MCOMs are literally on the same screen at the same time, just wild close together

You should be attacking/Defending A or B not A and B at the same time

[leaden orbit]

[scarlet breach]

https://x.com/TheTacticalBrit/status/1953513296042053713 wtf

[leaden orbit]

Is that really the battleroyal map?? I'm so fyin hyped

[ebon beacon]

Pretty sure that's "Eastwood," which is a regular multiplayer map set in Los Angeles. The BR map is also set in LA but idk if there are any recent leaks for it.

[fossil dove]

we havent gotten any info on br yet right? If not i dont see it dropping when bf6 does maybe a little later

[timber hinge]

Where can i ask if there will be a couter knife attack on Bf6 like on BF4???

[royal gale]

is it possible to make it that when we pick up other people kits we only get the weapons and not the gadgets? I was goofing around on the last 2 days killing only using rpg and knife (sorry for all the people that got headshot with an rpg :D) and at some point i found a support kit, took it, dropped a supply bag, then re-picked my engineer kit and i had a ton of rpg ammo at my disposal.

[true schooner]

Another cool thing i noticed that may hint to future recon class stuff is some of the voice lines specifically for calling in your recon drone, i noticed two lines being a call in for smoke cover and one line suggesting an explosive or morter/artillery barrage when using the uav ability. Would be awesome to see those kinds of call ins introduced to the full release

[pseudo flicker]

If they were to bring in more maps from the past, I would have to vote for Wake Island 2013 being brought back.

[nimble bridge]

Hopefully not

[sand vortex]

I’m hoping for Seige of Shanghai tbf

[nimble bridge]

I want BF3 Close Quarters maps

[pseudo flicker]

I’m just saying Wake Island is a classic map

And 2013 version more fits the aesthetic of BF6

[lime tinsel]

so how come I got the survey for bf6, it asked for platform and age and then just finished. I see others talking about weapon choices etc 😐

[woven eagle]

no shahar canals ❤️

i dont feel to confortable to buy bf6 yet... i dont know, i will wait more

[royal gale]

and btw can we have parties bigger than 4 people? i feel like a lot of players would enjoy this

idk if there is a specific channel for feedback

[woven eagle]

5 or 6 will be great

[royal gale]

or maybe if the in server party doesnt allow it, split the lobby of multiple people into parties of 4 in game? we were a group of 8 friends playtesting and it was sad we couldnt queue together

[glad trench]

Why other than nostalgia? It’s such a boring ass map

[royal gale]

and make it so the other friends party are a different color from your team, so you can work together and identify each other easier

[glass bramble]

I feel like the one shot kill sniper at a distance system would make Siege of Shanghai unplayable

[nimble bridge]

Nah, I mean maps like Ziba Tower or Donya Fortress

[glad trench]

at least with the vehicles being so gimpy this time around it won't be as oppressive of a heli farm lmao

[reef parcel]

When it will open again?

[ivory ocean]

It would be nice for own knowledge if the devs communicated just how old that beta build was that we played the last 2 weekends. Would love more communication from them! Theyve done great thus far

[fringe garnet]

Do people that have access to battlefield labs only have this section in discord?

[wanton zodiac]

i dont have access

[fringe garnet]

Gotcha thanks for clarifying!!!

[true schooner]

It would be perfect for a naval dlc

[wanton zodiac]

i just want paracel storm

[true schooner]

They could upgrade wake island and make it much better too

[fringe garnet]

How did yall get the cool night vision hats😂

[ivory ocean]

NVG mode would be insane with all the chaos

[wanton zodiac]

discord event during the first beta

[broken night]

Give me Caspian border, Gulf of Oman and metro and I’ll be happy

[digital niche]

really? wanting to release a new Battlefield every single year? come on man.

[pseudo flicker]

Imagine a metro set in NYC

[pseudo flicker]

Based on an incredibly unreliable reporter

You should really look up the integrity of a leak before sharing their information

[broken night]

that would be amazing🔥

[digital niche]

mmhmm

[pseudo flicker]

He’s been wrong about literally everything he’s said.

[digital niche]

knowing investor demands, its not out of the realm of possibility.

[chrome plank]

I'm sure it has been discussed but I am doubtful it is being pursued

[brave path]

hoping they have bigger maps

[digital niche]

i hope it's not gonna be pursued but im sure its in consideration

[pseudo flicker]

I personally really do not like Metro on any other mode except for rush, because otherwise it’s a big slog

[hot solar]

i agree. knowing how investors want money to keep coming in, yearly releases would be one of their options to push onto developers.

[broken night]

Yeah i get it, It could be annoying but it’s probably the most iconic close quarters map in the franchise

[nimble bridge]

Iconic because people didn't play CQ DLC

Pretty much every CQ map is better, although flow is a lot different in them

[chrome plank]

I have never understood the love of Metro

[pseudo flicker]

^

[nimble bridge]

I do understand it as it’s my favorite type of map but there are better options to bring back instead of metro for the 4th time

BF studios understands that too appearently given the leaks 🤫

[glad trench]

Metro with 32p rush is a great experience

[pseudo flicker]

Let me think. It was in BF4, BFV, and that’s it? Only the third time. I think there’s plenty of maps from Battlefield 3, 4, and even Hardline that would fit really well into 6

[fierce blaze]

Anyone know if we are getting Carriers in BF6? This water vehicles and more aircraft maps. So far all look inland.

[fierce brook]

Week 1 was a blast 10/10
Wile week 2 was a utter waste 0/10 all becuse Launch start bug so had 0 play time….. hard to play when you cannot open the game

[lofty gate]

Just registered to battlefield labs what benefits does this give me?

[silent halo]

w2 was great bugga you had issues. 10/10 for both in my book.

[fierce brook]

I did I can imagine the fun but yeah I’m not happy & I was not the only one apparently many others had the same one.

But I got some challenges from week 1 so I’m still happy I did get somthing

[rare river]

Battlefield 2 map Daqing Oilfields brings back childhood memories, wish they bring that one back

[crisp aurora]

Definitely bring back Damavand Peak,classic map 3 different maps in one. That parachute drop after taking the first sector was legendary.

[valid coral]

You play an invitation-only beta test in the future if you receive an email, but chance is low. If you signed up for Labs before 31 July 2025, you had two extra days of playing open beta on 7 + 8 August from 2 weeks ago.

[lapis void]

felt like scopes where zooming less then there magnification was saying. And also after playing with DMR this last weekend the was like some kind of hidden spread with some scopes. Tested 3x and up and same distance to target, scope zero at the same distance and hitting center mass and it was very inconsistent while using the 5x and 6x scope. Like some kind of invisible spread on the shots that was much higher.

Can we get a “Fly Range” introduced, new players can learn how to fly there instead of learning during the actual game and making it frustrating for the actual guys that know how to fly and not being able to.

Fly range would be something similar to Firing Range.

Great feedback

[quaint lagoon]

I would love this, I'm terrible at flying
Another alternative would be dogfight map where you start off in a jet in the air and just have nothing but jet battles
Or same with helicopters, start off in a heli and have nothing but heli fights

[solar blaze]

What about big maps, battlefield maps with vehicles and not just infantry?

[modest kayak]

I was using empty servers back in the BF3 & BF4 days to setup controls, learn the basics to fly and then master the flying on every single map. So I agree it would help a lot, while it should be connected to real maps and eventually allow friends to join so the training can be done in a way to also help the pilot learn how to get out of LOS of stingrs etc.

[iron edge]

That will come with the full release. I’m confident the developers have it in hand. Think of how you play poker, you don’t show your full hand straight away.

[solar blaze]

I hope so... but it would have been better to be able to test the vehicle maps in the beta.

[iron edge]

I think they gave quite a bit in the beta. Consider that if they give you a bit of everything or too much in the beta then the full release could end up being a bit of a damp squib and non of us want that.

LOOK at portal in the future. most of the things being said will be made by someone in portal and itll be made available, like how fortnite is these days.

Open Beta FEEDBACK
Open beta of Battlefield 6 is behind us and I have many thoughts about it. Some things I didn’t like, but most of them just need adjustments.

First of all, the new Battlefield is on a good path to becoming a great game. But will it get there? In its current state, no.

The fights are extremely chaotic, bullets are flying from every possible direction. I believe the main reason is map design. BF4, BF1 and BF5 had this handled much better. In those games, the entire server did not cluster into one tiny spot, creating instant chaos. In BF6 it often happens that you spawn and immediately die. Or you move a few meters and an enemy spawns right behind you and kills you.

This also connects with another problem – the class balance and point system. Dying is so frequent partly because there are not enough supports. Most players chose assault or recon. I would motivate people to also play support or engineer, as they are crucial for team play.
My idea: Assault should get the most points for killing enemies. Support should get fewer points for kills but more for revives, healing, resupplying and supporting teammates. Everyone wants to be high on the scoreboard, so points should reward each class for doing what it is meant to do. On top of that, at the end of each game, besides TOP SQUAD or TOP PLAYER, you could also show TOP MEDIC, TOP ASSAULT, TOP RECON, etc. This would encourage team play and reward people for their role. Right now it feels like pure run-and-shoot gameplay, leading to chaos and lack of cooperation.

Another issue is the RECON class. Playing as a sniper is fun for many players, but here I feel like I just turn into an assault with a sniper rifle, running around like everyone else.
One of the best maps ever in the series was from BF1 – the alpine valley map. There, a sniper actually made sense. You had places to hide, lay down and wait for targets at long distances. That’s what I love about sniping – hitting someone from 200m away, not 50m. In BF6, snipers don’t really have a place. There are no rooftops (doors are locked), which reduces verticality. If players could go to rooftops, it would expand the map and reduce overcrowding. And if someone complains about getting shot from a rooftop? Then blow the building with C4 or drive a tank through it – that’s what makes destruction mechanics fun and strategic, not just visual.

Also, the scope glints. Right now it feels like you mounted a stadium floodlight to your rifle. Please reduce the glint or make it more realistic – dependent on sun angle, or add unlockable covers, ghillie optics, etc. Snipers shouldn’t be turned into moving targets by default. Give them a chance to play at long distances.

Another thing is the game menu. Think about when design is important and when practicality is more important. The Netflix-style big tiles look nice but are impractical. A classic list menu would be clearer – singleplayer, multiplayer, settings, etc. And inside multiplayer, just a clean list of game modes. Same for game settings, simplify it instead of hiding things under multiple layers.

What I must praise: the graphics and optimization. I rarely encountered bugs, glitches or FPS drops, so big respect for that. The gunplay also feels very good, weapons behave nicely, though I’d tweak damage a little. Sometimes it felt like shots were not registering properly (and I saw others mention this too).

For maps, I would also love at least one fully interior map like Metro in BF4. And maybe bring back the BF1 style conquest mode where the map progresses depending on who wins the round.

Overall, I see potential and I wish the devs good luck. Right now I would not buy BF6, but if many of these things were improved, it would be a clear choice for me. The important thing is that these are mostly adjustments, not fundamental flaws. Battlefield does not fail at its core, it just needs tuning.

[round gate]

I absolutely agree with every point made in this. Especially on the map part. The main issue isnt that the maps are small as we have seen that in previous titles in bf1 and bf4 etc. The problem is that there are just way too many paths to go from making it so much easier to get ganked and spawn killed consistantly. The sides should be more clear. Also you should definately repost this feedback here https://forums.ea.com/category/battlefield-6-beta-en/discussions/battlefield-6-beta-feedback-en. Hopefully the devs will give it more attention there.

[warm jolt]

That will just lead to one or the other team getting spawn locked in a lot of matches, I'd rather have many lanes

[hexed rivet]

i mention under Liberation Peak

[round gate]

That is also true i guess. Has happened a couple times in bf1. But honestly its not that common, and i mean i didnt say there shouldnt be multiple lanes, but i just think there are maybe too many. Idk that was just my experience compared to previous titles

[hexed rivet]

there is two map more i think it will be better then Liberation Peak

[warm jolt]

Felt fine to me once I learned the map layouts honestly, in the end of the second beta I kinda knew what places to check and watch out for when crossing certain parts of Cairo for example

[round gate]

Well i guess not everyone has the same experience. I just think it would be nice if the maps were as good as bf1 maps. I think most of us would agree bf1 despite its flaws had the best immersion and map design ever in any bf game

[obtuse surge]

Anyone know what I should do if the 2042 unlockables for playing the BF6 beta aren't unlocked? I don't know what else there is, but the lynx is still locked for me. I played the closed and open beta

[warm jolt]

I personally like bf 3s map a lot more for the most part. Bf 1 suffers from the the flat big area syndrome a lot where you just get shot at from everywhere with snipers or tanks without being able to find much cover

[warm jolt]

Just play the game, free battle pass

[round gate]

i disagree with this. With the exception of the desert map( i dont remember the name) every single other map had plenty of places to cover such us rocks or trenches etc. About bf3 maybe you are right, i sadly never played it.

[calm seal]

is it not the other way around bf6 unlocks from playing 2042

[obtuse surge]

I shouldn't have to though...I played the beta throughout closed and open beta.

[obtuse surge]

No...there's 2042 stuff for playing the beta

[calm seal]

ah kk, not got it installed

[mystic plinth]

Someone find a bit not fluid the jump vault mechanics on BF 6 when you are trying to climb a ledge at certain highs?
Like the “parkour” movement sometimes not activate.
Like if there is a stairs and you want to climb it laterally the climb doesn’t activate until certain point of height, but feels a bit weird. I remember on BF V it was better obtained

[round gate]

its a beta. These things will definately improve on release. For example they have already mentioned zipline animations being under work. There are other far more important issues

[dense lynx]

The only thing I would change. Support should not get less points for killing, no way. Keep it balanced. But of course by reviving players and doing the teamplay or fairplay stuff they should unlock additional rewards or have some kind of fairplay level attached so the players can be on the matchmaking with other players which remember about reviving.

Otherwise no support from people or no balance of the team due to this skill-based matchmaking is just awful.

The rest is actually fine in the game. The bigger version of the maps will be in the final versions though.

[iron edge]

I have a few of your points that I’m not in agreement with.
The spawning behind someone I only witnessed in the Close quarters games, in the Conquest, Rush and Breakthrough you tend to spawn either on a squad mate, vehicle or in the team spawn area where opposition players aren’t allowed.
Class system where you get more points for fulfilling your role, I’ve seen support players near the top of the scoreboard when they’ve got half the kills or less than other players up there with them. So playing your role already gets you points for supporting or spotting etc.
The run and shoot game play again falls more into the close quarters side of the game more than the full scale conquests etc.
Roof tops and higher ground for Recon and sniping will likely become more available on full release and there already is an attachment to lessen the scope glint, even I’ve unlocked that and I’m a very poor sniper 😅

Someone else mentioned the multiple lanes to move down but I actually like that option, flanking is an important part of battles. The roof top issue that had lots of players complaining about on the Cairo map actually brought a side to conflict that was actually slightly missing in the Beta where you need to keep an eye up and not just around you on the ground or a floor or two above you.

I like the game and have pre ordered, can’t wait, see you on the Battlefield ☺️

[dense lynx]

Mentioning "the rest" I would say shooting is still BF, Running which feels a tiny bit slow is still BF i'm thinking if the running with Gun up like in 2042 would be helpful addition and liked by the community 🤔

But then getting through buldings, peaking and aiming stuff, getting shot from everywhere + no spawn protection make it a tiny bit CoD-ish when things don't go right and people abuse things and when the match is not good for your team. But I don't name the game 100% CoD but of course it takes some examples.

The most important thing however is that you community managers, devs and producers just listen to the veteran Battlefield players and some things will get even better with the current dynamic of movement and shooting altogether.

There are always things you can try to copy a tiny bit from another game but there should stay things so the balance and the speed will be not too quick and too chaotic unlike previous BF games. The aiming and movement itself are amazing, the recoil could be just a tiny bit higher to not be too laser or too hard as well. I don't like the recoil from CoD or PUBG for example, I prefer recoil as the BF6 Beta, 2042 or BF4

Even 2042 feels a tiny bit slower but that depends on places. Sometimes you end up going aggressive into a flag and either you die and respawn quickly, or you have some more tactics involved in such bigger map like Iwo Jima.

Also I add a note. Probably might be too late anyway..

I wish the story mode will have some crazy stuff funny moments and action moments like BF4, because if the story will be too serious like CoD or too light then it will be bad as well.

I hope also there will be voice in any languages, in my case Polish for example, then the story feels more special as Battlefield 4 had just that 🙂

[hallow stratus]

Any updates on the china region lock?

[gritty oyster]

Ahh

[fickle gust]

will there be another lab before launch?

[broken night]

Regarding on the map sizes yes we definitely we need larger maps 100% but honestly after playing the beta for nearly 30 hours I’ve gotten used to it. U just have to learn to keep ur head on a swivel and learn how the map plays where all the angels are to adjust ur play style. Don’t wanna say anything that’ll get me in trouble but from what I seen online they’re gonna add bigger maps in the live service.

[sweet geode]

its been confirmed by the devs ..that we are gonna get larger scale maps 😊 👍

[twilit cliff]

It strange to me that people somehow think that because beta had CQB based maps, thats all we are going to get 10/10.

[sweet geode]

💯

[marble dune]

it because the Beta is a technical playtest to iron out technical issues with player matchmaking en mass - yes but also and what people seem to be either forgetting or intentionally dimissing, which is fairly convenient I might add: a beta is also the first preview the general public gets to get a feel for what the full release is going to be like so they can decide if its a game they want to buy around the Q4 holiday release schedule.

If you are promised the "classic battlefield formula" and yet in the beta only get to play CQB, make key changes to classic kits, unbalanced gunplay to favor run-and-gun gameplay rather than combined arms strategy, maps that are not allowing vehicles to feel appropriate whatsoever, no server browser as a basic function, bad ui, etc... hard to think you are going to do aka "classic BF formula" or doing anything different in the full release.

[little fiber]

At least there is a scoreboard this time around amirite?

[stray veldt]

wasn't one of the rumours that dice was going into the cod direction? maps feeling more COD:ish probably had just confirmed what they had taken for truth about the cod rumours

[marble dune]

Yes. They are chasing the CoD player audience. They've invited CoD esport players, introduces many CoD gameplay mechanics that were present in other CoD games but new to BF. And its worth mentioning Vince Zampella recently came from the CoD development leadership and he has plans to have an annual release schedule for BF not to mention whatever other bad idea CoD games tried and failed with. It failed with CoD so my interpretation of the current gameplay vs previous CoD dev model is this is their second chance to try out new (but imo bad) ideas and try to make them work. 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

[stray veldt]

yeah, and while they might attract quite a bit of players probably, I feel that If BF players want to play COD they would

i dont mind a little bit more CQB kind of style, as long as it's not too much

[ivory ocean]

yeah Im a little baffled that thats peoples thought process also. Makes no sense. Its Battlefield, large maps is at its core really. Im personallly excited theyre going to have a wide variety of sizes. Itll be fun shit

[marble dune]

I feel that If BF players want to play COD they would
this is 100% the argument the long time BF community is making but the leadership is going to do what its going to do. And CoD players have nowhere to go since CoD franchise has cratered. So...you can see the writing on the wall.

[undone epoch]

I think the BF4 firing range was perfect (or least the best so far). It has everything you needed to tweak to practice all kind of stuff including vehicles.

Here is a suggestion for coming betas (and maybe releases in general) .

Add some way to put suggestions, bugs and maybe more of that sort down in the in game chat window. It could be a separate channel/channels that others do not see (or they do) where one could instantly just write whatever comes to mind during playing in terms of bugs or suggestions. It could have an intro message with suggested tags like BUG: SUG: or whatever. You (DICE) could then feed it all into an LLM to organize it (in case it is too much to read manually which I'd expect)

[tired osprey]

I actually quite like this direction of making gunplay and CQB a bit more like COD

Since I just don’t actually mind it, because CQB gunfights are just one aspect of BF

The other aspect are the gadget trading busy work and revive and vehicles and stuff

Making the “cod-like” game modes a bit more like cod is also fine for me

The “press space to respawn instantly” modes

[stray veldt]

I always wanted more city maps than dice included in previous BF's, but i am not after all of them to be like close quarters, but i dont think they will be

the city maps were usually my favourites

[tired osprey]

I do really like Empire State

I think only the gunplay is becoming cod like
The map design isn’t

[mossy marten]

3 small maps (empire state, iberian offensive, saint's quarters)
3 medium (cairo, manhattan bridge, liberation peak)
3 large (firestorm, mirak valley, new sobeck city)

there's 5 urban maps and 4 larger open terrain maps at launch

[stray veldt]

i think we should be ok then

although cairo felt small to me because it's all alley ways and tiny rooms

[marble dune]

this is the main issue the BF community seems to have a resounding issue with. Its not that CoD players and the community are coming to BF. Players like myself welcome new players, regardless of where they come from. But when you start changing the "classic BF formula" to match [x] - or in this case CoD; then people are getting frustrated. If you want to play a game like that, then go play that game not changing BF for everyone to cater to that.

[glad trench]

Tdm/domination/koth have always been like this in BF

[marble dune]

cairo is not a medium map.* they may call it that but its not. And if they do call it that - I wonder how many of the "large" maps are actually large compared to all of the other BF maps.

[ * ] ||How do I know? .... at risk of getting myself into trouble, I've exported the beta maps using Frosty mod suite and its 1/3 the size of OP Metro.||

[molten widget]

-Increase the recoil a bit,
-Add visual suppression on LMG's at the very least. I shouldn't be getting headshotted by a sniper while I'm laying into him with an LMG.
-Increase damage drop off for SMG's.
-Make DMR's stronger
-Larger maps.
-Better placement and size of objectives, especially for Rush. Defense HQ was right behind the objective in some cases.
-C4 should not regenerate unless you have a ammo crate, same with RPG's.
-Reduce the UI on screen during gameplay. Tickets and objectives don't need to cover the top of the screen. BF4 had it right. Put that stuff right above the map in the bottom left.
-Add Server browser.
-Assault is OP
-The M4 carbine was OP
-Closed weapons!!! Helps create balance among classes and teamwork
-Really hope there are Operations game mode
-Wish they went a different direction with the story. Why not use China and Russia as the enemy? More realistic. Funny they have countries leaving NATO when Trump is the one that has been verbal about wanting to leave. Countries in eastern Europe are desperately trying to join NATO due to Russian aggression.
-More gore!!!
-Add fortification
-Recon shouldn't auto spot people when ADS
-improve parachutes, People go way too fast while using a parachute
-add an option to turn off peoples skins. I have a feeling EA will get a little crazy with skins since that's a main driver of profit. It ruins immersion. -Add more information to the Leaderboard and to the post match stats tab. -Fix spawn beacon, it would fall through the map

[plucky shell]

This might be a little off topic, but is Battlefield Studios running any Portal testing for BF6, especially with the Godot front-end?

I’d love to get more info and would be glad to help with feedback or testing. As a game developer, I could see myself spending a lot of time creating maps in Portal as a side project, especially if it really uses Godot and scripting like the trailer suggested.

Most folks here are players focused on the gameplay side of BF6, but I thought my specific interest in Portal creation as a developer could be useful if testing opportunities come up.

Yeah it'd be awesome if we have Labs test under NDA to test out some of the bigger maps/modes for stress testing netcode etc

[barren acorn]

Can DICE allow more than four people on one square? I have a large group that wants to play together.

[teal inlet]

Its always been squads of 4

[deep robin]

Wasnt one of the games squads of 5 or 6

I know there were also Platoons in one. I think BF4

BF2 had squads of 6 BF4 and 5 were squads of 5 if i remember correctly

[barren acorn]

I mean one party—for example, if 8 people are in the same party, they join the game as 2 squads.

[deep robin]

I think BF4 had platoons which aloud this

So should be possible if they do it is another question

[alpine smelt]

2042 can have a 8 person party chat across 2 squads

and an 8 person matchmaking lobby

(I think)

[nimble bridge]

DICE should just remove shotgun(s) from their game(s)

[spring gulch]

Well Iwo Jima in BF2042 now is feeling much more like a combine arms Battlefield than what we experienced in BF6 .. Yeah BF6 was fun but they doubledown a bit to much into the infantry focus stuff .. I really hope dice will create way more Maps similar to Iwo Jima since they reduced the playercount to 64 again .. In 2042 most 64 player maps were not great at combines arms

Also AR and most weapons need way better range and handling at range

in BF6 i mean

[spring gulch]

shotguns were mostly balanced in BF2042

BF6 shotguns were broken

[nimble bridge]

Yeah 2042 shotguns are so balanced now

[spring gulch]

They are fine

[spring gulch]

Actually no and its why dice and fucking up their own game ... They need to double down on teamwork and clans support instead of trying to double down on consoles 4 players and solo cod players ... In MAG on playstation 3 256 players we could have a 32 players lobby so filling an entire platooon wich was divided in 4 squads but squad leaders and platoon leaders could speak to each other and players had proximity chat to team up with team mates in their proximity

also even with a 32 player party we found games in seconds with Zipper match making back then in MAG ....

battlefield need to allow us to have a 4 squads lobby but then favorise players in party and solo players playing with other solos

same thing they do in some BR or extraction types of games

[surreal moth]

Hey friends from around the world, did you know? You can no longer rent servers for Battlefield 3, 4, Hardline, 1, or V — EA has officially taken away players' rights to rent servers.
This highlights the importance of Stop Killing Games
So it turns out game companies can treat players' money like trash—throw it away whenever they feel like it.

take a deep breath. I dont think you realise how much you're jumping subjects. Mag is cool, I liked mag too. BF has squad chat and should have a toggle for proximity chat. that would be sick. moving on.

[wet flume]

X2

A team base game with "one man army" gameplay, sucks for everyone.

[solemn tree]

Do you guys think it would be possible to add an option to only show basic skins for people who don't want to have those from the future shop etc? I know some games do it and it could be cool to avoid people complaining about skins

[flint maple]

Are there even other factions?

[gloomy dew]

When will BF Labs registration be reopened?

[plucky shell]

This was fixed on the last day of open beta actually.

[spiral robin]

Any chance they’ll add more people into Labs between now and release?

[wet flume]

I guess the next opportunity they need to test future projects, such as future maps after the game is released. Like they did with CTE.

[livid patrol]

Ist there any overview with dates, when Labs is active?

[severe anvil]

Labs is under NDA again for future tests, so tests won't be publicly communicated.

Hi! How to report video game bug I've see in game?

[livid patrol]

[sonic sorrel]

Will future tests take into considerations of lab applications already made or is new ones required?

The developers are aiming for a very arcade-like experience, but they're going to gaslight us very slowly. The fact that they don't respect classes by having an open weapon system already says a lot.

[solemn tree]

Yes, but look at the skins you can unlock on 2042, guns are red, blue... i feel like when they gonna make money via the shop, they gonna start to make colorfull skins, but in the same design as the basics...

That's why i hope we can have an option to decide if you want to show the "custom skin" or only the basics ones, that could make sense and keep the visual immersion better for those who don't care about skins

[wet flume]

Even the skin you get for pre-ordering the phantom edition looks like something amateurs would wear when playing paintball. Let's just hope they don't raise the bar too high.

[lofty zodiac]

I heard bf labs is getting the br mode to try out? Or no?

[solemn tree]

It will probably, i don't think they will release it without any tests

[lofty zodiac]

So it won't come with launch?

[solemn tree]

I don't think so, i think it'll come weeks later

[wet flume]

I agree with this. First, we will have the base experience, and after a couple of weeks, they will release the BR.

[wet flume]

As far as I know, they haven't said anything about it.

[lofty zodiac]

I hope they have platoons at launch

[solemn tree]

i saw some games allowing this option and it's great honestly, if you wan't to buy skins you can, and use them, and if you just want a normal game you also can... but i think we will never have this on BF, EA wants money and let people show everybody who bought skins

[wet flume]

Everything will depend on how greedy they are lol I just hope they don't deviate too much from the original vision of the beta. The moment they release a pink/unicorn/cartoonish skin, I'm quitting the game, sick of it.

[tepid plinth]

It’s more so - the people who keep quiet are the ones you care about bf, as they don’t want their access revoked.

The people who leak stuff are the ones without common sense who’d trade labs access for some views

[remote ermine]

Its definitely not that. Tons of the biggest battlefield players never got invited. While COD kids got invited. Its a backwards system. Feels clearly designed to market towards COD rather than BF players.

And that was reinforced by the beta tbh. A heavily COD-centric beta experience.

[tepid plinth]

NDA blocks them from talking about it

[remote ermine]

Right....

[tepid plinth]

Kinda the point of an nda

[remote ermine]

Convenient excuse to use lol. There are tons of BF players but its just magic that none of them have even acknowledged getting in. While all the people acknowledging it are just not the BF fans.

[tepid plinth]

If I was someone who cared about bf, and mentioning inclusion meant exclusion from labs, I’d probably want to keep it a secret

[remote ermine]

We have literally no evidence that BF Labs has actually recruited BF fans to any substantial degree, and plenty of evidence that it did the opposite.

[fervent lava]

is bf labs COMING BACK?

[tepid plinth]

Aside from people who chose to mention it in these channels I’ve not seen anyone else mentioning their involvement anywhere else so I don’t even know who is saying they’ve been in

[remote ermine]

Most ppl dont even talk about things from accounts that are even remotely associated with their EA account lol.

Ur talking like signing an NDA for a game is this massive protection against leaks... meanwhile BF Labs is the most heavily leaked playtest of any game in like 15 years.

[fervent lava]

You know that a bunch of people including some of my friends had access to these lab tests and were actual bf fans

[tepid plinth]

And the people leaking it get axed from the program

[remote ermine]

Only the ones that were absolutely braindead about it.

Plenty have continued to maintain access.

[stuck jasper]

how do u know

[remote ermine]

They just block out their info and post under other account names. Its pretty much par for the course.

Yall new to the internet or something?

[tepid plinth]

So these people go out and about saying they’ve only played cod?

[remote ermine]

When did that become the topic?

[stuck jasper]

We have literally no evidence that BF Labs has actually recruited BF fans to any substantial degree, and plenty of evidence that it did the opposite.

i think at that part

[remote ermine]

Right... so did that say "They only recruited people who only play COD"?

The specifics matter

COD and battlefield arent the only two games in existence.

[tepid plinth]

You said the participants are not battlefield players, that most are cod kids, so the people posting under other accounts must be doing something to make it clear they’ve just played cod to back that up

[stuck jasper]

they came from clash of clans

[boreal tendon]

Definitely loving the portal and solo/ co op matches. And best part is BF2042 still gives you xp for playing these modes! Battlefield continues to kick COD's ass.

[stuck jasper]

lots of evidence points to bf labs players coming from idle police tycoon mobile

[remote ermine]

The core statement is that the focus of labs entry doesn't appear to be a focus on core battlefield fans. Which there is plenty of evidence for. (literally every leak, and the fact that they say feedback was super positive in labs,.... with these tiny ass maps that are not battlefield maps).

[remote ermine]

Gotta love the way you think. Its either COD or mobile games. You must be 10 years old.

[stuck jasper]

Must be

😢😢

[remote ermine]

Its very obvious either by the comments they make or the gameplay footage showing them not know how to play Battlefield.

[boreal tendon]

I haven't found any news about how the story mode for BF6 is gonna be like. If its gonna be like battlefield 4 where its straight to point and you play as the same guy through out the whole campaign or battlefield 1 which was broken up into separate war stories 🤔

And will the story mode offer rewards for beating it? And will there be co op missions?

[remote ermine]

This is labs discussion, not general BF6 chat.

[stuck jasper]

😿

labs discussion bucko

[boreal tendon]

I mean like idea wise what should battlefield story missions have to make them good?

[tired tinsel]

Yall know where to check your week 2 stats for the beta?

[wraith silo]

Where is a fucking little bird guys

What the hell

[boreal tendon]

We only had 2 choppers in the beta I imagine we'll get more when for full game drops in October

[stuck jasper]

can you name me what other fps games you think they targetted then

[wraith silo]

Have u seen recent BF Labs leak?

[stuck jasper]

from what i recall on the labs signup the games were mostly cod and battlefield alongside a few others like fortnite

and from what i remember fortnite isnt an fps

kinda narrows it down to cod

does it not

[boreal tendon]

Anyways ideas. I think BF6 should have co op missions like BF3 and BF5 had.

That was fun and gave out a decent amount of exp and rewards and quick way to level up if you and your friends can complete them.

You and your battlefield friends go on missions and these are massive maps where anything can happen and you have full access to your classes and custom loadouts. I loved BF5 for that.

[remote ermine]

Overwatch, Siege, Apex Legends, Warzone, PUBG, Halo Infinite, Helldivers 2, Tarkov, Valorant, The Finals, Fornite, all the COD games, CSGO.

Its not like they were subtle about it in their surveys. And everyone I know who put tons of battlefield experience didnt get in, while guys who put experience with other fps games but no battlefield got in.

I'll leave it at that, boring to keep debating it further. I think they could have done better and arguing with no data isnt going to change anyones minds.

[mossy marten]

that's some insane cope

[wet flume]

Can you elaborate? As far as I understand, no company's testing program ever fully respects lotteries.

[spare ferry]

I hope we get some news about battle royale, Because the beta was beyond extraordinary!

[mossy marten]

there's lots of BF fans in Labs (along with non BF fans)

[lucid karma]

no br

please god not another br

Battlefield does NOT need another half baked battle royal

Warzone is there for that

and delta force even kinda

[spare ferry]

I respect your opinion, but I'm sure he wants battle royale a lot too!

[wet flume]

Well, that makes more sense. Thanks for your reply.

[wet flume]

I thought the same thing, but in the end it's just an extra game mode. In my opinion, it's not bad, even though I prefer Rush 24/7. If it's bad, no one will play it.

[lucid karma]

A good take, but I think that if a battle royal is added (which it is more than likely there will be one) that more developmental costs will go to that and predatory microtransactions (eg. Battle Passes, daily login rewards, skins, etc.) IF the game does go that direction it will be in the same positon as 2042 when it first launched, ignoring the gameplay of course.

I think that DICE/EA have some conflicting ideas about what the corporate overlords want in the game to promote player retention and if they do end up going that way it'll be worse for the players unfortunatly

also the insider interview confirming that DICE/EA will be releasing Battlefield games YEARLY within the next 3-4 years does not bode well, especially when that is a factor which killed COD

[wet flume]

It all depends on how greedy they are, which is also my fear. Personally, I think it's stupid that BF Studios has the idea of incorporating a BR, when all effort and resources should be focused on making a perfect game at launch. Then we can talk about any gimmicks that can be incorporated.

[lucid karma]

In the past, what made battlefield games succeed wasn't microtransactions, or some streamer-content focused Battle royale, it was their community, with a hell of a lot of custom hosted servers, with new rules and great communities, as well as fairly good post-launch content in the form of map and weapon DLC's BF3/BF4/BF1 all hit the mark on these, and honestly it wouldn't be hard for them to return to that formula, I remember when BF1 came out, and people were upset about the weapon crates, but it ended up being a money maker for DICE/EA that most players didn't mind. I think it starts getting out of hand when you feature creep and start adding wild shit that is way out of scope of the game eg. some of the far out skins in bf2042 as well as mismanagement when the game launched and the year or two we had to wait for the game to be in a good shape and actually fully enjoyable (while still debatable)

But all-in-all I agree with you, I don't see anything specifically wrong with a Battle Royal mode, but if I'm honest I'm tired of seeing them because for the last 3 or 4 years that's been the main focus and even before then too. It just seems like the looter-shooter and Battle Royal space is way too oversaturated.

[wet flume]

I agree with you, but unfortunately the OG devs from DICE are no longer there, so the new devs are going to incorporate new elements that they are used to. Plus, there's always a genius who will say, “What if we copy COD and Fortnite?” or a shareholder who watched a video of a trade bro explaining the business model of popular games, and then forced developers to copy the same business model.

[lucid karma]

Its just unfortunate to be honest, I hope they make a change the beta overall was great, and felt like a return to the formula but we'll see it really is just a waiting game at this pint

*point

[wet flume]

Absolutely, I also hope that everything goes well.

Although I am not happy that they are trying to sneak in operators disguised as classes, with the open weapons system is still in place.

[lucid karma]

Yeah, and the scummyness about basically hiding the normal conquest from previous battlefields offscreen

I still don't like that every class can use every weapon in so called "open mode" but if we can't have our cake and eat it too, I guess I'll settle for no predatory micro-transactions

[covert stag]

There are ingame purchases / microtransaction and they will not go anywhere in games. Its not a bad thing either, as long as they dont give you pay-to-win advantages and do nut turn a game into something i did nou buy into. Like, if you sell me a shooter as military-style with grounded realism, then dont fucking add unicorn or beavis&butthead skins few months later. Cuz thats not what i paid for…

[lucid karma]

That's exactly what I said in the first basically book I wrote lmao

[covert stag]

Im not arguing against you, i just shared ny same view.

[lucid karma]

No I know, you're good chief

[covert stag]

I think we just have to make this really clear 😂 but rn im not too worried about that tbh if the devs keep promised what they said recently. But you never know what some suits will force them to do… 🙁

[weak hollow]

has there been news yet on the BF Labs Battle Royal Beta?

[stray veldt]

not yet, but i reckon they at least will give some information about it soon

[ivory ocean]

Are invites for Labs still going out or are selections done? Hoping to get into labs 🙂

[wet flume]

If I'm not mistaken, you can always register. Just look for the official website.

[pseudo plank]

bf4 jets and helis please i beg

[ivory ocean]

I registered awhile ago. Was just wondering if they’re still inviting people in or is closed. But thanks dude!

[crude sluice]

so did I sadly no feedback not even a confirmation mail that i registered

[wet flume]

You should have received a confirmation email in your inbox.

[hallow stratus]

Any news on the china region lock?

[wet flume]

Why do that when you already have a bunch of hackers in your neighborhood?

[fleet token]

Still haven’t received one myself afaik

[wet flume]

That is odd, check in spam or try to logging in Labs to verify that you typed in the correct email address. The email says: "Hey Soldier,

Your Battlefield Labs registration is complete. We appreciate your interest in joining our squad on the front lines.

An email will be sent to this address if selected for testing, so keep sharp!

• Battlefield Team"

[fleet token]

When I sign in, it just takes me back to the BFLabs home page, with sign up now and join discord buttons, and when I hit sign up now, it takes me to the same playtesting survey I’ve completed 2 or 3 times now

[wet flume]

If you're already logged in, its true, will take you to the home page and you won't see anything indicating that you have logged in.. In the menu at the top, look for “games” and click on “Battlfield 6.” Now, in the upper right corner, you'll see your profile icon. Honestly, I think the page has a bug because it caught me off guard too.

What a headache, mate.

[stuck jasper]

i got selected for bf labs and got the email for it but on the bf labs it says i have no playtests and tells me to sign up for it

[fleet token]

I had also applied way back when bf labs was first announced

[fleet token]

It makes no sense tbh

[wet flume]

I'm just saying that you're right, when you log in, it takes you to the BFlabs home page. There's nothing indicating that you've logged in. But if you select any option in the menu, you will be able to see your profile icon in the upper right corner. At least it didn't appear when I first logged in.

[fleet token]

Yes, I had to log in, and after I did, other than the profile icon, the page looked the same. 😔 it’s so unclear

[wet flume]

Honestly, I can't help you much; I would need to see your screen. But if you have already logged in and completed the survey, that means you are ok.

[glad trench]

You signed up for it, that’s all you need to know and if you were in early access for the beta, you know it went through. The confirmation emails are bugged. When you’re invited to a Labs playtest you’ll get another email with instructions

[thorny moss]

Do we know at all when another labs playtest will be? I just now signed up for battlefield labs so was hoping to play the game

I mever got a confirmation email tho still

[fleet token]

Thanks! I had early access, but I think that’s because I used a code from twitch drops?

[fleet token]

Could I dm you to show you?

[wet flume]

For people asking about labs.

[wet flume]

Sure, I don't have any problem.

[cunning chasm]

i never get invited to labs sadge

[silent tide]

Ohhh! Battlefield labs version 1.000.016 is currently downloading! 22GB. Content file 1, 2, 3 queued! Wonder what they have in store for us testers !

[nimble bridge]

Probably BR

[manic venture]

do people still get invited to labs? I got into the initial alpha but have never gotten anything besides that

[wet flume]

Today I experienced envy.

[nimble bridge]

EA should revive Visceral to give us Hardline 2 and ||Dead Space 4||, Hardline 2 but with swat vs terrorists as a setting would go hard

[wicked juniper]

Good evening, how do I participate? I'm an experienced player and can contribute; I've been playing since BF2.

@brittle wigeon Good evening, I hope you're well. Could you please tell me how I can participate in LABS?

[austere violet]

I just signed up for labs

What are the chances I get to play battlefield battle royale

[wet flume]

For people asking for labs, read this.

[woven raven]

Even reading that. I was invited to labs and played one weekend. Have never been invited back since. If you get in to BF labs do you just not get auto accepted for everyone after? Or has there not been a labs BF6 test in months?

I guess I shouldn’t say I was never invited back. I was just never able to play the other labs BF6 tests if there were ones available. I still have the app on my PS5 and get updates regularly.

Yea, shit. May 26th was my one and only weekend I was able to plan through labs.

[grand flint]

i did my registerd for bf6 labs but i dont know where to get the game

[woven raven]

You have to now receive an email IF you get accepted. The email will have a code in it that will allow you to download labs on whatever platform you chose. Only thing is there might not be another labs test until next month

[nimble bridge]

That was a one time stress test

[woven raven]

Ohhhhh, damn. That’s a bummer. So I haven’t even technically been invited in to the actual labs testing for BF6. Well hot damn.

[cyan relic]

☕️😁🤞

[proven plover]

Im the same get updates on PS5 but can never login and play 😭

[granite hazel]

I just did the survey for battlefield labs does that mean I could be picked for the pool?

Or I’m in the pool?

[shadow iron]

Bf labs is close for now he dont give anymore invit for now

[ebon yacht]

Hi, when will there be more invitations to BF Labs?

[stuck jasper]

how do u download it lol i was invited but idk how to download

I didn’t even check the email saying I was invited till after it ended

[stuck jasper]

oh so if I was invited to the previous one, I still need to be invited to newest one?

[silent tide]

You may be able to use the code to download the battlefield labs still but not sure. I did it for the Alpha. I just noticed there was a sizable download on the battlefield labs version of BF6

It says beta on the cover of the click to play button but when you load in it still says Alpha

Nothing playable at this time. I assume they may have whatever was downloaded go live over a weekend of something for battlefield labs

[light parrot]

Quick question, does anyone know if Dice acknowledged the issue that several players were having (regarding guns, player model's hands, other player models, vehicles) disappearing (and when regarding guns, also meaning that there was no reticle when ADS unless your monitor had a built in crosshair mode), whether by themselves or a combination? This was a huge issue that I pushed through, during both betas. I'm only asking because I have searched everywhere and cannot find any articles or posts acknowledging the issue, nor is it listed in the "Known Issues".

I hope no one thinks that I'm whining or complaining, I'm truly just curious if it was acknowledged and is being looked at, because the game is absolutley amazing otherwise (which is saying a lot...the game is that good that even with this game breaking bug, I had fun during the beta). If anyone does know if it was acknowledged, can you please send me a link or where I can find it?

Thanks so much! Looking forward to October!!! It's gonna be a hell of a time.

[tepid plinth]

Make a bug report about it to raise awareness of it. They don’t tend to acknowledge things like this post beta, but if enough people report it it will definitely be on their radar

As in, they won’t often go and post about technical things, just design stuff

[light parrot]

Oh yeah for sure, I did. I imagine (or I suppose hope) that others did as well, but I haven't seen anything about it which was why I was just curious. And I just meant because they had a super cool and in depth "Known Issues" page that showed every bug they knew about (which was pretty cool to see)

[tepid plinth]

if it's any consolation I saw people here saying that entities just disappeared when they were playing

not boat loads but enough to where every time I was on here there was at least one message about it every 15 mins or so

[oblique wigeon]

Im in xbox, how can i play in labs?

[pearl vapor]

Is BF6 playable now with Phantom Edition?

[surreal dawn]

No.

[pearl vapor]

Do I get early access atleast?

[surreal dawn]

No. The game releases on October 10.

[pearl vapor]

Dangit, hopefully I'm home by then.

[soft epoch]

is bf labs still open for sign up atm?

[surreal dawn]

You can register here https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs

[lime grotto]

whens the next labs playtest?

[red rose]

Today

[toxic sky]

I just registered. Am i too late to be a part of BF Labs??

[weak bear]

So we'll be able to play mirak and firestorm, GG

[surreal dawn]

We don't know how many people they are going to invite. My guess is they will want more testers once they start to test the BR.

[steel silo]

.

[broken night]

I hope they adjust liberation peak make it a little more bigger giving the map more breathing room from snipers

[wise river]

My god just let me in this next BF Labs phase PUH-LEASE BRO

[drowsy umbra]

Why i never get invited in playtest..

[agile gyro]

Do I have to register again for new labs runs?

If i registered earlier

[forest yew]

Why are you sweating. I don't think invites have gone out yet, or how would I know 🤔

[surreal dawn]

No.

[forest yew]

No it was stated invites go for previous testers. No need to re-apply

[agile gyro]

Ah ok than I just didn’t read that. Sad and great at the same time

[primal basin]

They still haven't opened Labs for the Asia/Oceania regions yet...wth is up with that 😮

[lavish plover]

is there any way how to confirm that this account is in lab or not? 😄 because ia have 2 accounts and i odnt know which one is on lab i played in may beta

[devout ore]

labs made me do the survey and said i registed without being logged in 😭

is the site a joke now

[icy oak]

When will it open i Europe?

[kind wyvern]

To play the battlefield labs I need an invite from DICE or subscribing in the playtest I already earn the right to play?

[strong heron]

Just as an FYI, most games with a known issues list don't literally list every known issue they're aware of for the sake of brevity, only the ones that appear to be more widespread. Doesn't mean they aren't aware of other bugs, but if they listed every single bug that affected only a handful of people, it would become very diluted, and wouldn't reflect the average experience for the average player. For example, the rooftop bug affected everyone, whereas the bug you're describing regarding disappearing models didn't affect me at all. Trust that they have a more detailed and exhaustive list for when they're bug fixing the game. I'm sure you've seen bug fixes in other games for bugs you didn't even know existed lol

[hexed kernel]

How would i even know that I'll get access to the labs playtest? I signed up on the sight and did the survey

[devout ore]

the email you if they want you to join it i think

[cold hearth]

Hello, I have a problem with my mouse not working on Battlefield 2042. Does anyone have a solution?

[vague arrow]

Has anyone suggested to allow us to change loadout in between matches? We're being pushed into the matchmaking queue. I can matchmake from the main menu and change my loadout. Why can't i do in between matches?

[scenic musk]

You probably need to disable EA overlay in the ea app if you’re playing on PC. I’ve had the same issue when play StarWars Battlefront 2.

[mossy depot]

I would love to see the return of the 5 person squad, it was perfect in bf4

[fleet token]

Continuous/persistant/sticky lobbies would also be great!

[mossy depot]

💯

[cold hearth]

ok thx i go test

[fleet token]

Especially in a very casual game like battlefield, I don’t see why we need to be kicked to matchmaking after Every. Single. Match.

[true prairie]

I signed up to battlefield labs in 2025 February, why don't I have access to it tho?

[vague arrow]

So with the BF6 open beta debrief mentioning they'll be testing two "large scale" maps. Does that mean we'll get another Open Beta weekend?

[naive knot]

if anyone read the news page....their boneheaded appraoch to rush is something i dont understand especially with the line "Using win/loss data from the Open Beta, we’re continuing to make map-by-map balance adjustments towards our goal of 50/50 win ratio for both Attackers and Defenders"....none of this make sense when you have non persistent matchmaking

[fleet token]

Though I’ll acknowledge that at least having the option to stick with your squad is a great start!

[fleet token]

Sounds like SBMM sadly 😭

[flint maple]

Just mentions map balance, not sbmm

[fleet token]

Also in the same boat as you, so it’s not just you

[naive knot]

also this " There was some confusion around the number of players in different games so we wanted to take a moment to clarify our current direction for how these get determined. Rather than locking maps and modes to a fixed player count, our philosophy is to adapt to best fit the intended experience. This may vary by map or evolve over time with player feedback." they're literally doign the meme of optimising fun out of a non comepetitive shooter

[light plinth]

When do the labs servers kick back on?

[true prairie]

weird

[flint maple]

I’m assuming they won’t extend labs to outside NA and Europe anytime soon 😔

[naive knot]

it litearlly is.....if their aim is to have a 50/50 win loss then that means they'll be throwing you in dfferent matches acoording to your stats and your win loss ratios......

[fleet token]

Genuinely disappointing tbh

[naive knot]

im in europe and ive been signed up to labs the day they announced it....and ive never got an invite, ive been in the EA betas program for even longer

[flint maple]

I mean from the message I just read it as them wanting maps to be more balanced and not Liberation peak breakthrough

[deep dew]

I doubt they’re doing SBMM ngl, it wasn’t in beta idk why they would add it now

[true prairie]

exactly, I was in playtest for f24 25 too, still can't play labs

[naive knot]

maps being balancved and them actively looking for 50/50 win loss ratios is something completely different

[deep dew]

They’re talking about map balance

[fleet token]

Still should have persistent lobbies

[deep dew]

Agree

[lyric thorn]

Sounds more like tweaking the map so each side has an equal chance. Because at the moment its easier to defend

[fleet token]

Same here in the US

[deep dew]

Yea just changing cover and lanes etc likely, tweaking numbers and maybe destruction

[flint maple]

I’ve only had a handful of attacker victories in Liberation peak

[fleet token]

Oh that makes a lot of sense actually

[deep dew]

Yea I had one, and about 15 defender wins

😂

[fleet token]

Thanks for clarifying! @lyric thorn

[flint maple]

Just needs more angles of attack smh

[deep dew]

In fact about 70% never got past the flag

[naive knot]

the thing about map balance is tho.....some areas SHOULD be harder to attack/ defend and some should be easier to attack/defend, it shouldnt be a constant exhausting perfectly cut down the middle tug of war, the tug of war happens on the macro side of the map

[deep dew]

IMO, liberation peak needs to lose the sniper rocks, that’s by far the biggest problem with the flow of the map on rush and breakthrough

[fleet token]

This is also true

[deep dew]

The rocks on the ridge is fkd

[deep dew]

That’s true tbh

[flint maple]

Bad enough on conquest with recons with spawn beacons

[fleet token]

The heaven for snipers makes it hell for everyone else tbh

[deep dew]

But like still they could make some changes

[minor linden]

Spawn beacons are being removed from recon so that shouldn’t be an issue. They’re becoming an assault gadget now

[naive knot]

i immediately clocked what the rock side of the map should hahve.....trenches, put trenches on the mountain side kind of like monte grappa and you pretty much nerf snipers without touching the class or the weapons

[deep dew]

It’s not rly heaven for snipers tho, it’s just snipers dueling each other, while the other half of the team fights for obj

[flint maple]

Yeah that’s true

[wise river]

Its hell for Snipers if there is a decent heli duo on the other team

[naive knot]

not only that, you also open up a different style of play on that side other than just having snipers up there and maybe a tank

[deep dew]

Yea but open weapons :)))

[fleet token]

Oh true

[deep dew]

They will just pick sniper

On assault

If they want beacon

[visual aspen]

I agree - there are few problems that can not be solved by a well dug trench system

[naive knot]

they dont even have to be real trenches, dug outs and bombed out foxholes that make an aysmetric trench grid

[minor linden]

Choosing a sniper on assault means you don’t get:

• auto spotting
• no healing shots
• instant kill headshots
• holding your breath
• UAVs

[deep dew]

Yea but bob john_47 prob don’t care or know that

Using a sniper on assault means, spawn beacon + faster heals

[naive knot]

none of this matter to people who want to snipe from a rock.....this is what dice doesnt understand about the recon nerf

[deep dew]

I can keep tanking shots and repeaking

[deep dew]

Exactly

[naive knot]

they're trying to solve an issue that was present in locked weapons...except they already unlocked the weapons restriction so what gives???

[deep dew]

Ppl will just keep jiggling cover with fast heals on assault

[deep dew]

They haven’t committed to an identity yet I guess

[minor linden]

Fair. Most of them probably don’t even know you can hold your breath to decrease sway anyways

[visual aspen]

yeah, I was hesitant about open weapons but I think if they make the specialist specific weapons have some appropriate bonuses for their intended classes it kind of solves it's self

[naive knot]

not to mention commando traits have been a thing since bf2 and bf3 onwords had half the recons picking tugs and weapons with carbines....

[fleet token]

How do people not know that?

[tacit prism]

Just so I know.....where would you download battlefield labs when it's available

[broken socket]

I just feel that the balance of open to closed playlists should be reversed

[fleet token]

Isn’t this already in place?

[naive knot]

it just sounds to me like theres no base vision

[deep dew]

Open weapons is a mistake imo

Class specific*. Specialists are a stain on BF’s name

I agree though. 2042 tried to do it but they just didn’t matter. At least with 6 they give actual reasons to use the proper guns

[deep dew]

In terms of gameplay fun at least

[wet flume]

The biggest problem with the beta for me was the poor map design. For example, Liberation Peak had the problem that the defense always had high ground and cover, while the attackers always had to cross a plain where there was nothing.

[deep dew]

Maybe not from a business perspective

[visual aspen]

yes, partially - I think another couple of modifiers or more agressive implementation of the specialist bonuses to their intended weapon specialty would be beneficial

[dusk sandal]

where are we supposed to leave feedback for Beta experience? I never got email

[deep dew]

I think if they keep open weapons, nerf the non class specialist weapons much harder so
People are inclined to play the class weapons more

I’m certainly okay with that as an engineer class main who was using the SGX ^^

remove the stim, give assault a med crates and paddles, thats what keeps the frontline up instead of a beacon, give support ammo, anti infatry claymores, mortars and sledgehammers, waaaaaay clearer identity

[minor linden]

It’s kinda useful imo. If you want to never be helped by your team and just have mindless fun, join an open weapon game. If you want medics to actually pick you up and people to actually try doing their class job, play a locked weapons game

[deep dew]

Yes that’s easy to say but

They’re making decisions about the game as a whole

U can’t have two separate communities and balances

[wet flume]

The specialists never disappeared, DICE just wants to sneak them in as classes, that's why the open weapon system. As a result, teamwork disappears, and everyone ends up being a one-man army.

[deep dew]

IMO they need to decide on one, I’m sure they already know this

[naive knot]

the carbines are better than the AR's anyway so the excuse for open weapons of "casuals like to pick metas" goes out the window anyway

[deep dew]

I wouldn’t go that far

[glad trench]

Another pleb providing nothing of note other than “bring back bf4 classes”

[naive knot]

and who are you?

i dont even like bf4

[wet flume]

a cod fan mate

[glad trench]

Congrats, still dumb

[fleet token]

Tbf, if it isn’t broken, why fix it?

[minor linden]

Didn’t 4 have terrible pick rates since assault was basically the default go-to class?

[fleet token]

Yes
