[mild mantle]

Yes

[narrow sluice]

I personally like being able to chose if I am a stormy front scout or sniper scout I.e. same for medic. Also an assault carrying LMG? I am down for that ☺️

[deep dew]

[narrow sluice]

Variety always is good, imo.

[naive knot]

arguing about pick rates...what is this league of legends?

thats such a moot point? you dont want teams to be composed of an equal number of assaults and recons anyway

[deep dew]

I MEAN LOWK WE SHOULD ALL JUST PLAY THE GSME AND SEE IF WE HAVE FUN

😂😂😂

[naive knot]

are these pick rate stats even taking into consideration which maps are being played? modes etc

[fleet token]

Each squad should be one of each class

[deep dew]

Can analyze and theorize all we want but if the games fun who gives a fuck if everyone goes 2 classes or picks XYZ guns

[minor linden]

You need to keep pick rates balanced because you don’t want to end up with 48 assaults, 8 recons, 4 medics, and 4 engineers

There can be uneven pick rates, but there shouldn’t be a giant gap between them

[deep dew]

But what if it’s still fun bro

[fleet token]

A lot of people

[deep dew]

That way

[fathom kettle]

is the battlefield labs still open? for registration

[naive knot]

yea but no necessarily, you could have a squad with 2 medics where one uses mortars and the other has crates, or one where a recon soflams and the other has infantry spotting etc

[deep dew]

Sometimes it is

[fleet token]

That’s a great idea!

[true prairie]

I don't think so, plus I registered in february and still got no invitation. Don't expect anything soon

[minor linden]

Nah. That leans a bit too much towards milsim

[fathom kettle]

damn

[naive knot]

why not have that spread? on breakthrough cairo for example you dont need to have 10 engies or 5 recons, oyu could do with a half a team of medics and assaults

[fathom kettle]

guess i have to wait till october 10 😭

[true prairie]

probably, I was so hyped for labs too but I guess they weren't thinking the same

[fleet token]

That’s fair

[fleet token]

Me as well

[wet flume]

Unfortunately, there isn't as much coordination between players in modern BF games. Unlike Arma Reforger.

[minor linden]

Engineers are still somewhat useful since they can do amazing splash damage at a distance. Recons are less useful tho, yeah

[naive knot]

look at the stats they put out, 4 billion enemies killed, 30 million revives" that should show you how much "open weapons lets people that play medic enjoy the weapons they want" doesnt work.....

[minor linden]

I forgot for a bit that mortars are returning. Can’t wait to run for my life through trenches in mirak as dozens of mortars explode around me

[naive knot]

the rpg absolutely does not do amazing splash damage , the only kills i got with it where direct hits

[fleet token]

Love those rockets (just wish they could do more destruction)

[fathom kettle]

i am having withdrawal symtoms bro preordered bf6 but yeah october 10 is coming real slow 💔

[wet flume]

Warzone mentality... that's all

[fleet token]

Same

[tough portal]

is there any plans on having a beta test for the BR?

[fleet token]

It’s so sad

[true prairie]

I'm going on a vacation for 20 days so I'm okay, plus I'll probably be drunk on the launch day so its a win-win

[fathom kettle]

noice i getting my infected tooth removed in 2 weeks 💔

[fleet token]

Where’s vacay taking ya?

[fathom kettle]

days be going real slow

i just wanna play bf6 😭

[true prairie]

Antalya

[minor linden]

They do if you use them right. They’re not built for direct splash damage but they do amazing environmental splash damage. Why clear a room when you can take down the building

[fathom kettle]

isn't that in turkey?

[tough portal]

BR beta any word on that?

[true prairie]

hell yeah

[fathom kettle]

noice enjoy the trip

[true prairie]

thx

[fleet token]

Beautiful

[fleet token]

I guess I still have things to learn then lol (that’s exciting!)

[viral yacht]

how do people know if they get accepted into bf labs?

[devout ore]

emails

[fleet token]

Feel better my dude ❤️

[viral yacht]

ty ty

[fleet token]

Seems like a few of us never got any though

[fathom kettle]

thanks scared as fuck gonna ask for sleeping gas cause i dont wanna bash the doctor when he puts a big ass wrench in my tooth 😭

[devout ore]

then you arent accepted 🤷‍♂️

[fleet token]

The BFlabs page just lets me complete the survey over and over and over

[devout ore]

i dunno but thats what people who got into the first labs said

their site is definetly bugged now

[fleet token]

Sadly, I know I applied back in February though

[fleet token]

You’ll do great! You’ll be fine!

[fathom kettle]

hopfully was supposed to be removed last year but the tooth was half inside the gums

[fleet token]

OUCH! I can’t even imagine the pain you’re in 😭

[fathom kettle]

nah i dont have any pain yet i stopped using that tooth

if i touch it

it pains like hell

if not all good

just have to ignore the ammonia taste in my mouth xd

[fleet token]

Hm, that’s interesting

[viscid oar]

We are back!!

[fathom kettle]

ik right 😭

the taste

is like

[bitter plover]

Will there be any more qualifications after the next lab test? I have applied for it at least four times and still have no results. This makes me very frustrated.

[fathom kettle]

so horrible u puke 😭

took me a while to get used to it

[fleet token]

SAME

[fleet token]

I bet it’ll feel weird to not have to deal with that anymore!

[fathom kettle]

true

[fleet token]

Hi striker

[fleet token]

In a very good way though!

[fathom kettle]

yeah just have to wait

after the bo6 beta days are going real slow 😭

[true prairie]

I guess not

[bitter plover]

that‘s bad

[fleet token]

The beta was SO SO GOOD, but the actual game was none of it 😭

[true prairie]

@severe anvil sorry for tagging, I registered to labs in february but I still haven't got any invitation, is it normal or did I miss something?

[fathom kettle]

50 hours 💔

[fleet token]

It’s unfortunate

[fathom kettle]

i am still having withdrawal symtoms 😭

cant even play any fps game anymore i just close it

[bitter plover]

i always want to play lab

but i have no chance

[fleet token]

OHHHHHH you meant BF6 you said BO6 I thought you were talking about last years CoD 😭

[fathom kettle]

nah

keyboard

cod sucks anyway

[normal tartan]

anyone know if you have been invited/played labs before do you get automatically invited to future lab events?

[fathom kettle]

i stopped playing cod after like

idk

[wet flume]

x2

[true prairie]

play squad

[fathom kettle]

cod rn is full of branded skins

u be seeing halo in cod now 😂

[fleet token]

It scratches a different itch

[fathom kettle]

dont hit like bf6

💔

[sweet geode]

oh hell ..moith all swollen and gum full of puss?

[fathom kettle]

nope

[fleet token]

Hey Halo is fun

[wet flume]

Arma Reforger it's a good option right now, especially servers with mods.

[fathom kettle]

yes its fun just saying cod lost its identity

[fleet token]

It’s true, it did

[fathom kettle]

wont come to that yet still at early stage 3

[sweet geode]

thats a plus then 😄

[fathom kettle]

i get it removed before that shit happens

[fleet token]

Squad?

[fathom kettle]

problem is i need a surgeon that is in another part of the country 😭

so yeah 2 weeks 💔

[bitter plover]

i’m still solving the phantom program right now

[sweet geode]

how inconsiderate of them 🙃

[wet flume]

Another milsim,

[fathom kettle]

😭

[fleet token]

I only have consoles 😭

[true prairie]

yeah squad

[sweet geode]

isn't there another surgeon available?

[fleet token]

We’re here for you in the meantime!

[true prairie]

the one I'm playing rn

[fathom kettle]

cant i only trust him he been operating on my mouth for years

so far no problems

i like to keep it that way

[sweet geode]

were u based?

[fathom kettle]

south india

[fleet token]

Oh I understand this on a personal level

[wet flume]

Arma reforger is for consoles (has cross play), you can even play with mods.

[fathom kettle]

last doctor i had fucked my gums so bad bro

i had to get antibiotics drilled into my gums 😭

[sweet geode]

bit far for me to come with a hammer n sort it for you 😁

[fathom kettle]

LOL

[fleet token]

So sorry that you had to go through that 🥺

[fathom kettle]

its a back tooth

how u gonna stuff a hammer in my mouth 😭

[fleet token]

Interesting

I don’t have $40 to drop on it unfortunately

[untold yoke]

Anyone know where we can give constructive feedback about the Beta to the team.

[knotty egret]

i think they sent out some emails to select players

[quasi hamlet]

I want to be able to use my keyboard, mouse AND controller at the same time. Currently, my mouse stops working when my controller turns on. i would like this because rather than using wasd on the keyboard i maneuver using the left joystic but i zero in using my mouse. i can do this in many other games. DEVS: please consider this configuration.

[knotty egret]

i know i got one

[wet flume]

Maybe in the future it will catch your attention, take a look at it.

[formal estuary]

ideally here https://forums.ea.com/category/battlefield-6-beta-en/discussions/battlefield-6-beta-feedback-en

[wet flume]

EA forums

[formal estuary]

yeah, thats not happening, its 1 or the other.

[untold yoke]

Thanks @formal estuary BF vet that only wants to improve the game

[sweet geode]

u got 3 hands or something 🤣

[formal estuary]

happy to help 💪

[quasi hamlet]

😆 trust me. it works when you are playing from a lounge chair. (er... it works in many other programs) Also, if I am an egineer running around fixing a tank then jump into a plane i want to switch my hands to full controller in the plane.

[sweet geode]

do u have to bd in a lounge chair for it to work tho ?😆

[quasi hamlet]

what is bd

[formal estuary]

he misstyped be, omg xd

[sweet geode]

while drinking your coffee at the same time ... right 🤣

[sweet geode]

correct

[quasi hamlet]

and rubbing my head and tapping my belly. coffee sips between kills

[flint maple]

I mean a lot of pilots run that setup

Not to mention the hotas chads

[fleet token]

Oh I’m very interested in it, I just don’t have $40

[quasi hamlet]

👍

ok lunchtime over! back to work kiddos!

[fleet token]

Have a nice afternoon! (btw sis you’re so pretty ❤️)

[sweet geode]

definitely be having 6 arms like Vasudhara 🤣🤣

[fleet token]

Certainly not impossible, we girls do have eyes in the back of our heads yk? 😂

[glacial ivy]

Hopefully the next play test will be soon I got access to labs

[formal estuary]

keep checking your mail 😉

[glacial ivy]

i have been

[formal estuary]

did you do mondays survey?

[glacial ivy]

I haven’t gotten the chance to play yet since it was my bday on the last play test and I was on vacation for 2 weeks during the beta lol

[fleet token]

Was it an email, as others have said?

[glacial ivy]

No

[formal estuary]

then maybe you're out of luck

[glacial ivy]

Usually it’s a email yes

I already been accepted as a play tester

[formal estuary]

sometimes they use a survey as a prerequisite to see if you are engaged

[formal estuary]

same, but they dont always invite the same people.

[glacial ivy]

I’ve gotten no emails for surveys or anything

Last time they randomly sent me a email for the date and time

And the last email I got from them was early access for free for the beta

So I still have play tester

[formal estuary]

check if you have the "Battlefield 6 - Open Beta Week 2 - Follow Up survey" in your email

[fleet token]

I never got an email for a survey 😔

[formal estuary]

weird tbh

[fleet token]

The site has been bugged for a long time for me

[formal estuary]

did you re-sign up?

[glacial ivy]

haven't

last email was for early access to the beta

[sweet geode]

im saying nothing 😆

[fleet token]

I first applied back in February, heard nothing, went to sign up after the reveal, heard nothing, and at this point the website just lets me do the survey over and over again

[formal estuary]

so nothing between may and now, yikes

[formal estuary]

so you didn't do the pre-alpha in may?

[fleet token]

(EA Playtesting site does finally list BF6 testing, but it again just takes me to the same exact survey)

[fleet token]

No, my first opportunity was open beta early access, and even that was only because of a twitch drop

[formal estuary]

lets just remain hopeful then, maybe not everyone got the survey.

[fleet token]

I never got anything, post-play survey, confirmation email, or otherwise

[formal estuary]

you did get a confirmation of your Labs signup?

[fleet token]

No I did not

[formal estuary]

very weird

are you certain you are looking in the right email inbox?

[fleet token]

Yes, I’ve checked all of the possible emails

[formal estuary]

no clue then, but lets stay hopeful, maybe you're included this time

[fleet token]

I’m not sure how I would be, since I have zero acknowledgment of ever doing anything

[formal estuary]

go to the labs page( https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs )and sign up now

to at least increase your chances

I lowkey love how they gave us an overview of destruction done,
I calculated the costs of everything excluding bullets fired and property damages.
so far the total is 1.35 Quadrillion USD

[undone oasis]

I, myself, have the same problem as sj/dj/mh. got no invitation or any email that confirms my sign up

[glacial ivy]

I’m confused because it keeps allowing me to apply for battle labs using the same email ? Is there a way to know if your still a play tester lol

I can apply for play tester using the same email as much as I want

[formal estuary]

could be that at the time they reached the projected number of Labs testers and never sent the confirmation because of that?

[glacial ivy]

And where are the surveys ?

[fleet token]

Yep same

[fleet token]

(it’s just DJ lol) but yeah the most I have is “Thank you for registering” after each time I take the screening survey on the website

[undone oasis]

is this is the case then the communication isnt the best

[glacial ivy]

you think battle labs will be permanent for other battlefield games ?

like new BF Games

[fleet token]

It also doesn’t make sense that there’d be absolutely nothing after filling the same thing out 6+ times, yk?

[glacial ivy]

i have BF labs installed on my pc still

[undone oasis]

yes

[undone oasis]

exactly. In the beginning you had to give them your telephone number and now there is only this survey

[formal estuary]

alright, so i did some looking, go to labs page > login > profile > settings > Subscription and Memberships > i think if it includes playtesting, you're good? I'm not sure if thats a default membership or not tho.

[glacial ivy]

If I’m a play tester still shouldn’t I still be allowed to open and launch Bf labs but not play it ?

[formal estuary]

for me it includes Playtesting so that's what I based it on

[formal estuary]

well yes, but who knows

[fleet token]

It does include that for me, and when I click through to the EA playtesting site, it lists Battlefield and Apex, but each of those only then link me to their respective surveys (which in the case of Battlefield is the same as the survey on the BFLabs site)

[glacial ivy]

Under subscriptions and memberships it says play testing does that mean I have play tester still then ?

[cunning orbit]

Squad mates are just mobile spawn points, infinite sustain with support class, sniper scope of LMGs outclasses any ranged gunfight (while standing).
Easily destroyed vehicles, poor visibility, and sound design (inaudible footsteps).
Lifeless maps; lacking flow and memorable features.
The philosophy has changed from structured chaos to easily accessible high-speed engagements, which is exhausting.
It's no longer about team-oriented, immersive, combined-arms warfare.
This is just about what sells. Satisfy the shareholders and the board of execs. It's also very interesting how EA emphasizes a return to "core Battlefield", ironic.

[glacial ivy]

I’ve signed into the play testing account I own but where are the surveys ?

[fleet token]

My EA profile actually still has a blank phone number region, but I don’t think there’s any way to fill it out?

[minor linden]

The maps we have seen so far are mostly smaller maps built for high pacing. There will be larger maps on launch and within coming labs sessions such as Firestorm and Mirak Valley

[formal estuary]

i was adding that too, i added to get the code and it does nothing, same for 2nd email adress

[smoky pike]

Have anyone of you gotten a confirmation mail after signing up?

[fleet token]

BF LABS —> Account Settings —> Subscriptions and Memberships —> EA Playtesting —> Learn More

[fleet token]

Nope, none here

[formal estuary]

not for the new labs tbh, but it could be that it isnt going to do that if we're already registered as verified testers

[smoky pike]

Yeah. I was signed up last time but didn't get access 🤔

I did however get early access tho

[undone oasis]

okay dj, next time I dont call you sj/dj/mh x)

[fleet token]

I just checked, same here, but my phone number is also already on there?

[fleet token]

all good man!

[fleet token]

I only got it through a twitch drop

[sullen igloo]

Ye

Gotta sign up for lab before a certain date

[cunning orbit]

Perhaps a ploy to ensnare a displeased Call of Duty customer base. Shouldn't a beta be akin to a charcuterie board; a little bit of everything?

[glacial ivy]

i clicked that

it takes me to play testing home screen

nothing there

no surveys

[fleet token]

Several of us signed up a whole bunch or times

[glacial ivy]

there's no surveys

[fleet token]

😔 I wish I had a clue

[minor linden]

Fair. It would've been nice to have at least 1 large map. We'll hopefully see more of them soon through leaks

[formal estuary]

i fixed it for myself, is 2FA on for you by default?

[undone oasis]

😇

[fleet token]

No it’s not

I don’t think?

I use my Xbox account to sign in anyway

[formal estuary]

if you turn 2fa on, you can change all that, phone number, 2nd email, etc.

i'll be off for a bit, gonna try to use Portal Experience Builder

was hoping to get clearance to stream but unfortunately no reply

[cunning orbit]

The trailer is all about high-octane; they sold the feeling well. Hope they turn this in the right direction.

[torpid girder]

Hi all, Are there more playtests planned before release?

[formal estuary]

yeah

Firestorm and Mirak

[fleet token]

I turned it on

[formal estuary]

maybe Sobek if lucky (but probably not)

[smoky pike]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs
That's where you want to go.. Press sign up now..

[stuck jasper]

whats that

2042?

[torpid girder]

cool thanks

[glacial ivy]

i have a acc already

i did that servery before the beta

[formal estuary]

map creator yeah, trying to make a map for bf6 as they suggested

[smoky pike]

I did it again just to be sure :p

[toxic flint]

Is there any chance to still join the labs, or is it already closed

[knotty egret]

does anyone know if you accidentally missed an earlier opportunity to play BF Labs if they still will send a later invite?

[fleet token]

+back in February and several times since the beta, trying to get anything at all (for me)

[knotty egret]

sign-up is still available

[smoky pike]

You got access to that already? 😮

[knotty egret]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-labs

[smoky pike]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-pika-gif-13469074065570030793

[toxic flint]

Of course, I understand that registration is possible, but I’m wondering if they are still accepting participants. I was lucky enough to join only during the server stress test.

[knotty egret]

oh oh my bad

sorry

[smoky pike]

Yes.. The labs registration was down after the beta was out but it's now open again for registration.,.

So I think that means you will be able to register and maybe be able to join, even if you wheren't part of the first labtests

[fleet token]

Is there no staff available in the server to help with things like this?

[stuck jasper]

why tf can i register for BF labs without signing in lol

how tf they gonna contact me if i pass

[desert owl]

I signed up for labs today but haven't heard anything

[stuck jasper]

if i get selected

[fleet token]

It seems like we’re all just guessing and guessing and it’s getting frustrating

[toxic flint]

It would make sense for them to select people who are really active players, since they have that information. I’ve played 70 hours in the beta myself. It feels like they selected the first group and are continuing to work only with them

[smoky pike]

Not always unfortunately.

[smoky pike]

I remember them stating that it wasn't any requirement about how much you played, but probably is right. It was stated that it was completly random who got into the test.

[viscid oar]

Hello!

[warm tartan]

I have a blast playing the beta. Just two suggestions: 1. Options to move the minimap and 2. Options for console play only

[proven plover]

Is labs live ?

[glacial ivy]

I applied March - May

Around that time

And did those surveys

[proven plover]

I’ll need to download again to see if I got in it’s only ever worked once

[fleet token]

I see

[toxic flint]

Yet, for some reason, there is a survey. 💀

[fleet token]

Genuinely I think most of us having this issue don’t even necessarily care about getting in (although that is important), just about the lack of communication and clarity

At least that’s where I’m at

[hexed kernel]

Why does it keep letting me sign up to the BFLabs over and over again?? Wouldn't it say that I'm already signed up?

[wise river]

Im shaking from Withdrawls my god please let me into this BF Labs period

[smoky pike]

same

[magic garden]

They will email you via the email connected to your ea acc

[stuck jasper]

no i mean i wasnt signed in whatsoever

i could just click on the link without signing into ea account

[magic garden]

Oh it should make you log in thats kinda weird

[wise river]

AoC phase 3? Borderlands 4? Smite 2? NONE OF IT IS THE SAME. Everytime I play another game, or think about the games about to release before BF6 I just feel like "dang wish I was playing BF6 instead"....im cooked ☝️

[trim parcel]

Hope they fixed the glitch from roof to roof on one side, or make it possible for the other team aswell, also smoke and other pretty things

[scarlet parrot]

There are no confirmation emails when signing up, only when accepted. Kinda dumb but I talked to support when the beta was live about a couple things.

[gentle wigeon]

Hey guys, do we know when would be the next labs testing ?

[faint pivot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/s/EwqObFzpES

thank god they’re nerfing that awful spam movement!!!

[toxic flint]

As a result, the people they selected, even after playing on this map for six months, weren’t able to find it. 🤓

[faint pivot]

Check the patch notes I just posted

[meager maple]

big punch for cod players!!

[strong sonnet]

so glad that us 50 year old 0.5kd bums will finally be able to compete!!!

[faint pivot]

With 29 matches played I averaged a 1.45 kd nice try tho

[faint pivot]

Yeah they can finally go back to their trash and stay away from battlefield now they have no more arguments😂

[cunning turret]

You must have been a pro back in 1942, glad to meet one of you!

[faint pivot]

Not a pro just better than the .5 kd he tried to give me😂

Salty asses😂

[toxic flint]

A player with a 2 K/D over 150 matches in beta I’m happy for that too.

[strong sonnet]

my apologizes sir! didnt realize you had a 1.45... that's amazing!!!

[faint pivot]

Now you guys will have to acquire skill for what battlefield has always been known to do be a positional shooter😁

[faint pivot]

lol for 29 matches I’d say it’s pretty decent

[cunning turret]

Yes because having a 1.45KD means you're very skillful, good on you brother

[void geode]

yoy saying cod player cant just grab a sniper and jump 360 one shot you in the head and then fly away in their jetpack

[cunning turret]

Truly blessed to be speaking to a professional player.

[lapis drift]

How did yall check your kd?

[faint pivot]

lol you’re corny bro

[faint pivot]

Ea games then enter in your id

The website

[cedar flax]

Is the acceptance rate high for labs, I applied a few weeks ago, no emails or anything

[strong sonnet]

as i said, i apologize.

[cunning turret]

truly a pro

[faint pivot]

I’m sure this time around they’ll invite other players that didn’t get them back the.

Then

[trim parcel]

Cant find mine haha

[faint pivot]

Cope

[jolly wyvern]

Hello everyone

[trim parcel]

But I think 0.3kd hahaha

[cedar flax]

Sweet. Do you get an email response if you’re accepted?

[faint pivot]

Yes most of the time it’ll be an invite email

Just make sure to check your emails that has anything to do with ea

[heavy sigil]

that's great information, i just applied and joined the discord

[strong sonnet]

So easy to clown these androids its insane

[faint pivot]

The circle jerk is wild bro too bad the devs aren’t listening to cod players😂

[heavy sigil]

BF6 all the way !

[cunning turret]

they're clowning themselves at this point xd

[wise fjord]

Hello

[cloud ether]

Hello

[faint pivot]

After this community update it’s safe to say we might actually be back just gotta see gameplay

They’re doing another labs for 2 large maps so hopefully ppl get in that build

[heavy sigil]

hell yeah i hope so

[cloud ether]

Same

[oblique crown]

I hope I get an invite in for the big maps. I was fiending the entire beta for a big battlefield map.

[nimble bridge]

Why did DICE nerfed the movement and jumping when you couldn't jumpshot anyways due to insane ADS sway in the beta 😭

Sliding and jumping only worked with a shotgun(broken weapon), or in like 3 meters because you could hipfire instead of being forced to ADS(ADS doesn't suffer from sway because point of aim is tied to screen center, not weapon sights while you hipfire)

[formal estuary]

because infinitely sliding isnt something that belongs in bf games

[nimble bridge]

You couldn't infinitely slide, you could slide once, maybe combine it with a single jump

It wasn't like 2042 where you could combine like 6 jumps and slides

[fleet token]

1.14kd over 48 matches is good or bad?

(surprised I only played 48 matches, that seems low)

[toxic flint]

idk tbh

[fleet token]

It doesn’t seem particularly good, but I guess it’s also not as bad as it could’ve been

[somber depot]

When does labs start back up?

[unique musk]

When will the stats for the 2nd open beta weekend be available?

https://www.ea.com/en/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/player-stats

[eager bough]

I just registered for labs, is it pc only and how do i know if i get to participate?

[lyric mural]

Hey i completed the survey for the labs inscription, is it all we have to do to be able to join 3rd beta ? ty

[lyric mural]

i think its any platform as soon as ur EA account is link to ur console acc (if u console), also i think u need to complete the survey but idk if theres any other things to do

[eager bough]

Aye i did that too, my email just gets so clogged with junk hopefully i can find out another way somehow haha

[lyric mural]

then i guess u gucci but am not sure if theres any other step to do

[toxic flint]

kd doesnt mean anything if the game gave you enjoyment and you had a good time — bf isn’t about stats on the scoreboard

I went to sign up for the battlefield labs testing today. And it asks you to complete a short survey. At the end, it says "registration successful"....but it never asks for an email, in-game or EA account ID or any other info that could be used to actually....register you?

Does this mean this is actually just a survey and it's not 'registering' for anything at all? Or does it just mean if you don't give the right answers it doesn't actually ask you for your contact info?

[somber tundra]

What do u guys think about the news?

[versed token]

News be news

[forest yew]

You are registered and it uses your EA-account email afaik.

This is something DICE & EA should make more clear. There should be some kind of BF Labs status page where you know if you are registered, if you have pending playtest coming etc. I know you can see these sometimes if you get into closed BETA but like for Early access labs you didn't get any notification to EA:s playtesting page (or I missed it).

[half iron]

I wasn't logged in at the time

[wise veldt]

is there any way to report bugs?

found a way to get under the map on liberation peak lol...

wtih a heli xd

[faint pivot]

Because battlefield is and always was a positional shooter first before anything and that generic fps style movement that originated from cod and apex legends doesn’t need to be in a game that is known for its authenticity which makes it different from most generic style shooters.

Instead of using a movement you’re familiar with that is copy and pasted throughout many different titles, It forces you into actually using your brain & communication and working as a team more on flanks and ambushes and gives you better gunfights instead of movement spamming jumping into oncoming fire trying to gain an advantage just because some lack the brain power to strategize over someone who outsmarted and positioned themselves over you.

[faint pivot]

In the beta the slide was way too long and the distance it gave was too far, the ammount of times I slide canceled and jumped just made me feel like I was playing a different game with battlefield elements.

[wet spindle]

What do you think guys?

[faint pivot]

That we can more confidently say WE ARE BACK

[nimble bridge]

How many times have you been killed by someone sliding?, I personally died more to rooftop, verticality glitchers than to people using movement, people will use twitter clips as the proof of how broken movement in BF6 was despite those clips usually ends up with movement player dying due to clunky movement and fast TTK. Surviving those moments is what makes them clip worthy.

[nimble bridge]

Battlefield had jumpshotting since BF3

I personally killed like 5 people with jumpshotting in BF6 beta meanwhile that rate was like 70% of my total kills in 2042, movement was already bad and they are nerfing it even further

[fleet token]

I know that lol — I was just asking because the comments got me interested. Battlefield is at its best when it strikes a balance between arcadey gameplay and milsim-style immersion

[somber tundra]

Hope so 🙏

[spark sable]

Question someone having a issue with the beta?

I’m trying to connect but I can’t despite having Gamepass Ultimate

[severe anvil]

The beta has ended.

[tender hatch]

The beta is over

[spark sable]

Okay thanks

[tender hatch]

No problem

[spark sable]

I thought we have three weeks? But I could be mistaken

[somber tundra]

I did some few kills while sliding but ain't easy, need to be very fast or the player that had been killed had to took some damage, but the slide in beta really helps running to anything that protects u take damage or run from tanks, and the tank with explosive ammo it's hard to run from him, but the slide from beta really helped, if they nerf it, any guy more or less good with any tank will kill alot

[candid stump]

Just saw jackfrags video
Any idea when the new test will happen?

[somber tundra]

Jackfrags was not the one was crying when got killed and saying the game sucks?

Doing rage quit

[somber tundra]

Not that i know, only 2 weeks

[grand flint]

Ok thanks so much

[small zephyr]

Hopefully the slide will be nerfed like with the jumps, with repeated use only...

[faint pivot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/s/PcJiVuiw51

Please this movement was all over the game when I played I encountered many players like this

[faint pivot]

Placing good positional shots and controlling your gun to gain advantage over the gunfight is what creates good clipable moments lol

[nimble bridge]

You are 100% lying then, this isn't even the base movement, it's literally bugged vaulting glitch

[faint pivot]

I’m not lying there were many players like this bro quit it https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/s/RyFgiSd4ty

[robust iris]

are they still sending lab invites or no?

[nimble bridge]

You could slide and jump ONCE, if you can do it consequtively you were using a bug

I'm talking about non bugged movement

[faint pivot]

Nope I was able to slide canceled jump and repeat it wasn’t bugged movement

The whole beta

[nimble bridge]

🧢

[faint pivot]

Call cap all you want you just can’t accept the reality of the situation I don’t have to prove anything to you when there is multiple videos and even the devs are changing the movement cope brother, cope

Cod lovers who were in here before beta are quiet rn zeethos movement lover etc lmao I’d like to hear what they have to say now

[tight ore]

When will labs start again? Sorry if this was asked 50000 times before

Uh oh

[faint pivot]

My brother in Christ please read the developers briefing

[somber tundra]

@nimble bridge but this slide helps alot and it's a normal slide and is not that far slide, if they nerf it's gonna be free kill for any tank user

[tight ore]

Im not christian

[severe anvil]

Labs will be under NDA again, so test dates are not announced publicly.

[tight ore]

Thank you

🙇‍♂️

[faint pivot]

No it won’t😂 I’ve played the game and escaped many times without slide just be tactical and don’t run out in the open like it’s some call of duty game😂

[nimble bridge]

Movement wasn't effective and that's a fact, I literally had 1.6 KD while using movement because it was getting me killed more often than not, I stopped using movement in 2nd beta and I had 2.2 KD, movement was already punishing and unusable in the beta

[spark sable]

Huh okay have a nice day then guys

[wet spindle]

Anyone know if this is real or scam?

[faint pivot]

All the more reason to get it out the game proving the point😏

[somber tundra]

Me too, but the tank with explosive ammo will kill u so easy if they nerf the slide

[nimble bridge]

And they are already nerfing it more to appease bad players who will still complain about movement and drop the game in like 3 months and never touch again, great idea DICE as if BF1-V situation hasn't proved how nerfing movement to non existence won't give you a stable playerbase

[severe anvil]

if it's an ea.com or e.ea.com email it's likely legit. If unsure, navigate to the playtesting website on your own and fill out the details requested in the mail.

[nimble bridge]

BFV had more players than BF1 for years despite being a financial failure simply because people liked BFV movement, BF1 playercount isn't impressive when you consider it's the best selling BF game and BFV is a financial failure

No movement = No skill gap = People will stop playing in 3 months

[faint pivot]

Bad players? You mean the players who outsmarted you so now you have to use movement spamming to try and gain an advantage because you lack the iq to strategize a flank or ambush with your teammates with effective communication?

Sorry but that makes you the bad player, learn to adapt the authentic playstyle battlefield has to offer or play another game

[nimble bridge]

There is nothing to outsmart in BF6 when you die in 3 shots

[neat delta]

dont get shot, outsmarted

[nimble bridge]

TTK is already fast which makes movement unusable by default, now they are nerfing it even more to appase bad players

[faint pivot]

Lolol get better at the game rather than cry for easy spam movements because you lack the iq to outsmart the opposition that’s sissy shit

[nimble bridge]

That's the thing, it's not hard to shoot at people using movement

[somber tundra]

@faint pivot dude chill.. U talk* like u are the best player on bf 😂

[nimble bridge]

Easy spam movement isn't BF6 movement

Movement literally gets you killed 90% of the time

[faint pivot]

No im stating what battlefield needs for an authentic experience try again kid😂

[nimble bridge]

Authentic BF experience #screenshots-and-clips

[somber tundra]

Haha why calling me kid u want to be something or someone bigger than others? Haha chill little one xD

[faint pivot]

Good so remove it to positional shooter movements it’s simple

[faint pivot]

No the way you’re going about the conversation is what a kid would say lmao

[nimble bridge]

BF3-4-V literally had better movement

[urban hazel]

are battlefield labs still open for invites? I sent in mine a week ago or so and so far no response, not even a confirmation email

[neat delta]

its not as if its anything like the prone/jump corner peak bug in bf4, as someone who is definitely a lot worse than they used to be i cant say i had much trouble tracking anyone sliding or jumping - and the only time i used it and got a kill the guy was turned away from me but still complained, but just my experience

[faint pivot]

No one is saying I’m the best battlefield player that’s a child take

[nimble bridge]

Is BF6 movement anything like BF4 movement???

[somber tundra]

Haha are u sure about that? Bro just keep this chill, this is a conversation and stay like it, if u are here to mock or anything ur the child here haha

[faint pivot]

I am keeping it chill bro? Just because I’m arguing a logical point that you don’t like doesn’t mean I need to shut up😂

[somber tundra]

I believe a little ye

[nimble bridge]

BF4 had air strafing, fast ADS, point of aim tied to screen center. BF6 has no air strafing, jumping locks you to one direction, point of aim is tied to your weapon sights so any sight wobble already makes it inaccurate to shoot

[somber tundra]

Or half

[neat delta]

nothing like it thats my point. that was an actual issue, slide jumping maybe could have done with a tune i didnt encounter it enough myself to judge but overall its fine but again just my opinion not saying im spitting facts lol edit: misread thought you were continuing about the slide bug in bf4

[somber tundra]

I never told u to shut up..

[faint pivot]

Ehhh regardless devs are listening to the core community and are adjusting the movement to better fit an authentic experience. No arguing against that😁

[faint pivot]

By telling me to chill when I’m already chill is basically kindly telling me to be quiet

[nimble bridge]

Core community who will have 40 hours of playtime before dropping the game because it's not milsimmy enough

[simple perch]

I thought the BF6 movement was good for the most part, but I'm excited hearing about the tweaks they're making.

[nimble bridge]

Then ask for BF7 to be a milisim again only for them to drop BF7 after 40 hours

[faint pivot]

Nah battlefield players don’t want mil sim and that argument is what all of you call of duty fangirls love to use and it’s such a weak argument

[nimble bridge]

Yeah sure

[somber tundra]

The movement are kinda nice, but ye the slide only the slide can be nerferd a little but if we are against a tank with explosive ammo is basically free kill

[faint pivot]

What next were boomers? We aren’t good cause we don’t want generic fps movement in an authentic game that holds its own identity? Womp womp

[nimble bridge]

I bet 90% of the people loving these movement nerfs will go back to HLL after 2 weeks because they will still be farmed by good players

[neat delta]

bf4 movement other than the bug was a death sentence though no? Its pretty up there with dropshotting for giving easy kills or maybe i never encountered someone using it right

[somber tundra]

And i used a lot the tank with the explosive ammo, so i know what I'm talking about

[nimble bridge]

#screenshots-and-clips

[faint pivot]

We will play them all 😏

[nimble bridge]

Nothing bugged about that movement too, just basic jumpshotting and air strafing

[neat delta]

not sure if that was the right clip or what im meant to be looking for if it was

[polar forge]

Did anyone else get the bug were your game frozen in the beta?

[eager tusk]

Guys im new here! Have question i saw in the community update they talked about large map and not battle royal? Will they launch multi first than br or together?!

[neat delta]

oh, it linked me a clip of a dude walking round a corner and a guy in a container lol

[stiff iron]

they can nerf everything ill still be at the top the leaderboard of my lobbies

[somber tundra]

Yee the jumping is kinda crazy u can kill easy and scape the shoots

[wet spindle]

Yeah it was e.ea that's what made me suspicious. Thanks for the reply.

[nimble bridge]

Look at the BF4 clip I posted

[neat delta]

fair enough p cracked, but thats what you WANT from the game? I think ive maybe confused your stance here lol - on the clip, ive seldom seen players utilising the movement that well, and personally the few times i did not playing like an idiot or panicking meant it wasnt so much more difficult id complain. it does look like youre going in to the bugged tech though where your character (its been a while icr what exactly) either is stuck prone or rapidly switches between them, at that point if so its just exploiting imo (not hating though)

[neat delta]

if anything it was nice having the joy of seeing someone who didnt slow peak every corner or stand in the middle of a massive room waiting to be murdered by your squad theyve just ran past mid gunfight, but idk if movement that extreme needs to be in the game. Would be cool if it was something custom servers could modify

[nimble bridge]

I don't want BF4 movement, I'm saying BF games already had better movement and they are nerfing movement to be unusable due ot a false idea of movement from BF3/4/1 "tourists"

BF4 was so grounded and so realistic fr fr on god meanwhile clip I posted could be seen in literally every Locker match

[neat delta]

"nerfing" movement seems like youre making it an issue for yourself just by wording it that way. Faster/unrestricted movement =/ better in all cases. I agree it could do with a little more maybe, but no need to be as extreme as that

[neat delta]

huh, i never said bf4 was grounded or realistic lmao

[somber tundra]

We don't know how gonna be yet the movement, I didn't pre order,I'm gonna wait first

[granite drum]

Its silly how fast you can stand up from prone

[somber tundra]

And check the when cames out if stills fun to play i will buy it

[granite drum]

But the movment didnt bother me big

[stiff iron]

please explain how its silly

[nimble bridge]

BFV movement is what we need, no one had any issues with movement in BFV

[granite drum]

Lay down and stand up as fast as possible, carry a backpack while doing so with some weight

[nimble bridge]

BF6 movement as of right now is literally a worse version of BFV movement, but with the nerfs I feel it will be as bad as BF1 movement

[stiff iron]

yea if you've never served you cant speak on it

[nimble bridge]

You give an inch to movement nerfers and they will take a mile

They will never be satisfied with movement nerfs

[neat delta]

sadly like the only bf game i missed, made the mistake of playing it on my dads xbox when i was staying at his for the holidays the only time i played it and it put me off so cant talk on the movement in it personally

[simple perch]

Eh, I despised the frictionless sliding.

[somber tundra]

But basically if we slide on it u can kill anyone, i used alot that "glitch" it's horrible, just makes easier for who is already pro on the movement

[simple perch]

As for your second claim, I'm plenty satisfied!

[granite drum]

Erm, yes

[neat delta]

only bf game i missed since i started playing them with bad company 2*

[granite drum]

BF1 movment was great

[nimble bridge]

You need to slide and aim in order to be effective at it

[stiff iron]

its very possible to do with gear

[nimble bridge]

Movement is already a hard thing to do

[neat delta]

the game being easier for people better at movement isnt a bad thing necessarily its only when it results in buggy/unexpected animation changes it becomes a bit much

[nimble bridge]

Movement is also useless for long range engagements, if you start sliding when you are fighting against someone from 50 meters you will automatically lose the fight

[neat delta]

as long as its fluid and not like gmod air strafing levels of stuff its usually chill

gives you something to aim for

[nimble bridge]

People act like movement automatically wins the fights

[rich juniper]

hey, just to confirm is regsitered for labs, but got ne confirmation email is it normal? thx

[granite drum]

Proof?

[stiff iron]

ive done it and ive seen people i served with do it , if you cant you might need to work on your PT

[hard grove]

Not popular opinion but I want a stamina system in BF. At least character needs to be out of breath at some point

[somber tundra]

Like i say i killed alot like that because who shoot at me the damage was not that effective, and it's a easy kill for who is already a pro in the movement, I can do it all day, but believe in bf6 ain't good

[granite drum]

Army boy left, xd

[neat delta]

I would agree with this up until the very second i spawn on a large map with no caps and every vehicle has been taken and randomly dumped somewhere up a hill lmao

[somber tundra]

It does haha xD movement it's basically everything, without that u can do fast or slow tactics and when is everything blowing up is very efficient

[neat delta]

you using movement in an open field at 50m vs my lmg with a bipod who wins

its not everything

[nimble bridge]

I can still play with or without movement, I literally have over 3K hours in R6 Siege and CSGO

[neat delta]

its important, but not everything

[nimble bridge]

I just would rather have movement

Adds more to the game

[hard grove]

I know but that makes controlling the vehicles more of a priority

[neat delta]

dont lie you jiggle peaked in siege that TOTALLY counts lmao

[somber tundra]

Mehh doing it would be like arma, would not be nice and not bf we never had that i think

[nimble bridge]

😱

[neat delta]

and 3k hours of csgo surf 😉

[somber tundra]

Using some smokes and tactics u will not see me where I goo haha

[neat delta]

true, just more so when you get a match of folk using the basic transports just as a dump vehicle and leave it somewhere it has to degrade naturally can be a pain lmao

[neat delta]

so using more than movement?

[hard grove]

Guys fps drops to 30-40 sometime often on C flag in Cairo at 1440p low with a r7 7700X and a B580 is not normal right? I could not figure out why.. hopefully I'll get better performance at launch

[neat delta]

got it cheers for making my point 😉 lmao

[marsh spindle]

cuando podras el sigueinte Labs?

[somber tundra]

Movements and tactics yes

[neat delta]

i can smoke and crouch walk out of LOS in a field just as you could bunny hop - so again not a necessity is it?

[somber tundra]

That's nice alot of hours haha

[neat delta]

i got this but im on different specs, i went back 2 nvidia driver versions and it fixed for me - hopefully just a driver issue

my fps would get hard capped at what it said was 70 but felt and looked like 40

[acoustic imp]

hello guys how can i join to battlefield 6 labs

[neat delta]

closed for now, #battlefield-labs-news

[hard grove]

Crazy how would older drivers work better for a newer game

[acoustic imp]

oh

[neat delta]

possibly just the version they had in the build they pushed

[frank current]

yeah gotta wait ig

[neat delta]

or

[somber tundra]

We can do anything, but movement is needed in some cases,

[neat delta]

nvidia being nvidia lmao

[hard grove]

Yeah like I was more annoyed at the drops. I'm like honestly considering getting a better GPU if that's what the frames I'll get but I was sad to see that I just built a brand new PC and my last one I did in 2010 for bf3

[neat delta]

thats the thing though, being needed sometimes isnt needed all the time. Sometimes i need a shit, i dont always need a shit. eventually i will, but unlike that in a game you can choose how you want to engage, thus meaning you dont need to

[neat delta]

what cpu are you on? it was cpu based fps drops for me

my gpu was chillin still

[hard grove]

When I checked the usage cpu was fine you was almost at 100%

[neat delta]

hmm, see i just used the in game fps since it shows cpu and gpu seperate - probably a different issue youre having then

[hard grove]

I might have a faulty one to be honest. I get some weird visual glitches in windows like pink pixel that I've seen reported online but those are random and at different places often hovering on thing in windows

[neat delta]

how much vram does the 7700x have?

[hard grove]

A rysen 7 7700X it should be more than enough

[neat delta]

oh

ffs

thought you meant 7700xt lmao

my b

[hard grove]

I know it reaches 95° often when it spikes because I don't have AC but I checked, it got cooler here for weekend 2 and it didn't go past high 80°

Yeah amd naming is so confusing xD

[neat delta]

that seems

really hot

[hard grove]

My PSU could be the culprit but it's so hard to pinpoint what the issue without spare parts

Not really because they are designed to run at that. Above 95° it happens

[neat delta]

im on a 9800x3d and i dont go above 70C with my curves turned down a touch and my OC on, i cant imagine the 7700x should be so hot even with a different ambient temp?

they are designed to run at that heat but its not good and can still cause thermal throttling just much more limited in that it disables/gradually lowers your boost clocks

it disabling your boost clocks could be the culprit

[hard grove]

I often feel PSU exhaust hot air so it might be having a hard time. So yesterday I check and my case fans might not be ideal

[neat delta]

what kind of cooler you got on your cpu?

[hard grove]

Supposedly the 9800x3D is very power efficient 7000 serie runner hotter I think

A recommended one but it's an air cooler

[neat delta]

it sounds to me personally like it could be an issue with that, if you think youre having issues with the psu id try that first if it seems dodgy

[hard grove]

I'm thinking about doing an airflow test with smoke or something at this point. But like I said the temps seemed fine

[neat delta]

i dont think its enough to sway the other differences making the 9800x3d hotter but i could be wrong

[modest sentinel]

When is the closed bêta of bf6 ?

[hard grove]

I tried initially when I built the PC because I was hearing a weird noise and I learned about mb vrm coil whine didn't know that existed lol I have an old 900w antec PSU I could use

[neat delta]

air cooler doesnt mean bad to be fair, i rocked a noctua NHD15 for years, and a bequiet darkrockpro (not sure what version) at some point too

[hard grove]

When you talk about curves what do you mean? Is it undervolting? Because a lot of people recommend that online for the 7700X

[hard grove]

Yeah I know it was a budget performances option the thermaltake phantom assassin 120 I think

[neat delta]

i cant say i have ever heard mb vrm coil whine, usually a gpu issue. im starting to worry about your mb lmao

[hard grove]

I know especially that it was bundled with a Canada computer deal

[neat delta]

most likely theyre talking about fan curves - you can use a software to map out a graph, or "curve" for how your fans react to the temperature readings on your components

[neat delta]

peerless assassin? that it?

[hard grove]

And I could not return anymore when I learned about that. I could rma but Asus S*** for that and most MB manufacturers won't do it for a noise issue. Coil whine is a normal thing to a certain level some people notice it more than others but I don't really hear it anymore maybe I got used to it not sure

I checked it's the Phantom spirit 120

But I bought fans from marketplace. Default dans with my 4000D airflow where so bad most annoying noise I've ever hear

[neat delta]

okay found some points of comparison for that one, what temp do you sit at without gaming?

should probably be 40s-50s,

[graceful wolf]

Are invites still open for Labs? I signed up today.

[neat delta]

sadly not #battlefield-labs-news

[graceful wolf]

damn

[frigid knot]

rip

[neat delta]

yep, i hadnt much hope for bf6 so never bothered signing up and regret it now lol

[frigid knot]

do you know when we can register again

[neat delta]

not a clue bud

turn on notifications for that other channel, whenever we can register again it should get posted there 🙂

[frigid knot]

i’m so hype for bf6 bro, i have like 25h on the beta, i don’t play much to bf usually but this one look amazing

and CoD is dead

[neat delta]

Yeah i ended up with about 29hours in it since i happened to be off and hadnt played since 2042 released initially and i lost interest

wouldnt say cod is dead and i certainly hope not

no competition is bad for consumers

cod and battlefield are becoming closer sure but they still mostly target a different experience

the large scale gamemodes seem to die incredibly quick in cod

whereas its the smaller game modes i always had trouble finding in bf

[wide lodge]

You don't need to sign up again for the upcoming BF Labs testing if you signed up already before, right?

[toxic vector]

i signed up again just in case

[neat delta]

not a clue mate, ive only got the same info as you from that channel - wish i had more haha

[hard grove]

Wondering the same

[wide lodge]

Lmao

[cold otter]

i did 2 more times just in case lmfao

[neat delta]

#battlefield-labs-news message

[neat delta]

valid

[hard grove]

Haven't read the rules carefully but not sure why my message was blocked..

[neat delta]

possibly a curse you dont consider a curse lmao

[hard grove]

We can't say stuff that's not positive about the game

I just joined that's why

[cold otter]

man i cant wait to play again ugh

total withdrawl lol

[hard grove]

It's more in the low 50s high 40s on idle no gaming not launching my browser with plenty of tabs

It just went up to 70 lol but I checked windows service update in bg

[neat delta]

seems about right. does seem like a hot chip overall from what i saw so good chance its alright - if your fans are dead quiet i would still download a fan control software and make a curve so it ramps up more in games - might keep it either cooler or let it boost a bit more

[hard grove]

So around 48 to 54 it's almost 28°C in my room or 81F

[neat delta]

thats a decent temp for your ambient

i think my 9800x3d idles about 48-50 when its up at those temps but its usually too warm to sit in my room in those temps so it never really gets long to fully heat up

[hard grove]

I already did can we post pictures here?

[neat delta]

doesnt seem so

[exotic oar]

sup guys

quick question

There is not going to be another beta weekend right?

[neat delta]

if there is they havent announced it yet, but i doubt there will be the game only has what 1 and a half months till release?

[exotic oar]

alr, thanks bro

[neat delta]

no worries - i could still be wrong hopefully haha

[hard grove]

Yeah only thing is I received a box with a damaged (1) sticker on it but it seemed more like it got stuck to the box that someone placed it carefully. I've seen nothing wrong with the temps but that noise that annoyed me early on made me want to return it and make sure. I actually had the peerless assassin 120 I returned and got this one phantom spirit in black it fit better the esthetic and slightly better performance. But I managed to get a 25$ discount because of that sticker mainly. So for 25$ I was like nothing wrong with the temps I'll just keep it and use it as backup if i want to change to an aio at some point or in another system

[hard grove]

A lot of money has been put into the game, it's not a bad idea though for a smooth launch. They must have beta tester internally right?

[small merlin]

We also need to test bigger maps ;)

[neat delta]

Yeah, curves is an easy way to squeeze a little extra performance out/ just make your components last longer. You're defo fine as is but id still go through the effort

[neat delta]

Very true

[hard grove]

fan curves you mean right?

[hard grove]

can I dm you?

[neat delta]

aye

[neat delta]

go ahead mate

[wet flume]

Just use fan control if that is the case mate, easy to use and free

[neat delta]

^^^thats what i use

[hard grove]

I do i'm going to send him my fan curves

[wet flume]

You got it! boss

[torpid girder]

[wary thicket]

There was a new update for labs is that for the playtesting of bigger maps ??

[torn karma]

Are you supposed to get an email from EA confirming they received your registration?

[wary thicket]

I don’t think they are open you just do a survey and that’s it

[smoky pike]

Eventually yes. I think those of us that was registered but did not get into the test last time don't get a confirmation email.

Weapons
Battlefield 6 Beta Changes
We're making targeted adjustments to deliver a more consistent and rewarding gunplay experience. This includes a general pass on recoil and tap-fire characteristics across all weapons, further emphasizing their unique feel and improving range differentiation. We've also made changes to encourage more controlled tap-firing and burst-firing, rewarding precision and weapon mastery. Additionally, the M87A1 shotgun now requires more pellets to secure a kill. We are investigating the Time-to-Kill and Time-to-Death experiences, and we will share an update if definitive changes are made in these areas.
Movement
Movement mechanics have been adjusted to create a more balanced and traditional Battlefield experience. Momentum, especially horizontal speed, carried from a slide into a jump has been reduced. There is now a greater penalty for consecutive jumps, which lowers jump height when jumps are spammed. Firing while jumping or sliding will result in increased inaccuracy. These changes are designed to make sliding and jumping more situational, so they are no longer ideal options for engaging in gunfights, and will contribute to a gameplay pace that rewards skillful movement without becoming too fast or unpredictable.

Maps
We observed some players finding a way to reach rooftops and venture out of bounds. This gameplay is not intended for these maps, and the upcoming ladder for the Assault class is also not designed to access these areas. We're actively working on adjustments to prevent unintended access and ensure gameplay stays within the intended boundaries.
We also heard strong feedback from players excited by the larger-scale maps that Battlefield has to offer. While the Open Beta featured smaller, more fast-paced maps, larger-scale maps are already part of our launch package, delivering action-packed gameplay and memorable, unique moments for every player.

As part of the upcoming Battlefield Labs testing, we'll be testing two new multiplayer maps: one set in Mirak Valley, the other a remake of the fan-favorite from Battlefield 3, Operation Firestorm. These two maps include the full complement of vehicles, like Liberation Peak, along with a more vast combat space.

Playlist Options
A limited variety of playlist options were created for the Open Beta to both showcase and test the flexibility of the matchmaking system. For more details on our playlist adjustments, see our post about Open Beta Week 2 Playlist Options. Playing with both Open and Closed Weapons will continue to be options in Battlefield 6 and we are looking for ways to keep them easily accessible.
We recognize that some players experienced difficulty finding games to complete the Challenge of capturing sectors in Breakthrough or Rush. It wasn't ideal and we're actively using your feedback and in-game data to review and improve the Matchmaking system, with the goal of providing a smoother experience in the future.
Reflecting on the Open Beta & Next Steps
With the insights gathered during the Open Beta play sessions, we will be introducing in-game adjustments in upcoming Battlefield Labs events. Stay tuned for progress updates and future opportunities to get involved.

[graceful wolf]

The weapons changes are awesome. Need to get back to the learning curve with gunplay, like bf3 and 4.

Tap fire ftw

[wary thicket]

Yes sirrrr

[west moon]

They didnt mention UI changes :/

like changing weapons between games and easier access to attachments menu

[tepid plinth]

just need to make bursting viable. Make the horizontal recoil more of an incremental curve than a near static value so that the first few shots don't just veer off

[formal meteor]

How do I know if I got approved? I did the survey but didnt get any email or anything, wanna make sure I did it right

[graceful wolf]

For sure the beta had weird horizontals. In my opinion one of the best things about bf3&4’s gunplay was that the skill curve came from mastering the guns themselves more than just movement.

We need high RoF guns to have a learning curve to offset the high ttk.

[fallen garnet]

2042 patched > beta bf 6

[maiden widget]

Yo quick question to the people. I just did that form for the labs registration. After I finished it, it just thanked me for partaking in the form. But it didnt actually ask me for any contact-data. Like E-Mail or something else. How will they notify me, if I got in?

[covert magnet]

How will I know when labs testing is open? I signed up, but curious how they will tell us test in happening.

[maiden widget]

Pretty much the same question here, we didnt have to give any contact data

[knotty plinth]

when will labs open back up anyone know ?

[celest herald]

Yup ! Wanna know too 🙏🏼

[maiden rover]

expand?

[fallen garnet]

maps, weapon, class

[maiden rover]

is this live rn?

[fallen garnet]

dont be dumb

[knotty plinth]

test the game that's why Labs exist

[fallen garnet]

bf6 is overmaaxed

[maiden rover]

wym

[hollow grotto]

So I just read in the Battlefield update on Twitter that they are doing more playtest. Is that right and do we know when they would be held?

[wary thicket]

No dates yet

[hollow grotto]

Cool

[austere widget]

sweeeet

link?

[tepid plinth]

Trouble is how do you balance learnability with enforced handicaps to avoid complete mastery

Evidently horizontal recoil with the stock weapons at least was meant to be a handicap like spread is, but then you’ve got two layers of randomness stacked

How much do you want mastery of that weapon to go? At what point should there be limits to what you control in order for designers to balance engagement ranges and such?

[frank current]

Fellow antistasi player eh?

[gilded pebble]

Any videos out there of motor use/aiming?

[tepid plinth]

Yah

Average normie SovietWomble enjoyer right here

[frank current]

Lmao

[manic gate]

https://tenor.com/view/kaboomnated-riko-gif-5456517930758337773

pls slow down the grenade throw speed

thank you

[ruby shell]

I haven't seen this mentioned yet re the inconsistency with which bullets hit when sniping. I had instances where I lined up HS after HS on stationary targets and no hits, then randomly HS after HS while im tracking moving targets...

[spice harness]

Hey folks, quick one which I've not been able to find an answer to so far. Will AU players get access to the larger BF6 maps in Labs? Do we even know when that's happening?

[ocean bough]

How does one actually even get into battlefield labs, I filled out that survey but there was nowhere to put in contact information so that was literally pointless

[spice harness]

I think signup is closed at the moment.

[solemn pasture]

You have to be logged in to your ea account to fill it out, so you're good

Not everyone gets selected

[ocean bough]

No you don't I was not logged in and it let me fill that out

[elfin lava]

Are they going to add players to labs soon? I unfortunately did not get picked the first time around

Sadge

Can confirm that sign ups are currently closed

[ocean bough]

Lol they need to fix the website then, had me fill out a survey for no good reason

[elfin lava]

If there ever was a playtest i would want to be a part of, its bf labs lol

[hybrid mountain]

Please battlefield lock the classes and keep them old school

[elfin lava]

I agree lock the classes

[paper cargo]

How do you get in the labs build on the big maps

[blissful snow]

hi

[paper cargo]

And honestly open classes aren’t that bad imo they should just restrict snipers to recon only

[hushed bison]

Does everyone who participated in at least 1 previous labs sessions automatically get invite for the new one? Or is this going to be new random draw from all the registered players?

[elfin lava]

I hope its q new draw but its probably the same group

[woven raven]

I was invited to the labs stress test and have never received another labs testing invite.

[blissful snow]

same opinion of u

[hushed bison]

same here

[hybrid mountain]

The classes should be lock and the spawnbecon should be moved back to recon class only why should assault have that power as of statistics 📉 recon class has less play time rather then other classes so we need good balance and I prefer locked classes no, the old school bf3 and bf4 vibes Please 🙏🏼

[woven raven]

Although, I do get every update pushed through the labs PS app. So if I ever do get invited again I’ll be good to go.

I just poorly assumed that once you got any sort of labs invite you’d be able to play in every test going forward.

[midnight jackal]

I hope to get in one. Itching to play again now the beta is over

[hushed bison]

so did I, I'm on steam and the labs client just vanished from my account. I hope i at least get the BR test when/if they do it.

[woven raven]

Oh, that’s weird. I didn’t know they had the ability to take the client away. On PS/XBX once it’s downloaded it’s there to stay unless I delete it.

[elfin lava]

Im going to update my preferences everyday from now on

[analog marlin]

Yea but it says EA servers are down. So its useless. For another game I'm play testing they sent me a code to redeem in the store and thats how I got it to download.

[woven raven]

Yea, I was sent a code to dl the app on PS

[left pasture]

what are the actual chance of getting accepted to labs?

[woven raven]

Seems fairly small. I’ve signed up for the skate and apex testing. I’ve been invited to every single one of those. I signed up for labs, did my preferences, etc. Even filled out the survey after the pre-alpha stress test. Still haven’t been invited back for another one.

[wet flume]

You have a better chance of winning the actual lottery.

[undone gyro]

If I’m in this chat does that mean I’ve been accepted or no

[golden peak]

No

[golden peak]

If you’ve been accepting to play test for BF Labs, you’ll get an email from EA stating it

[undone gyro]

Probably won’t happen sadge 😔

[golden peak]

It might, who knows, I was fortunate enough to get accepted months ago, I didn’t find out I got into labs until the week of the alpha play test a few months back

[wet flume]

No

[calm cloak]

I was invited to the BF3 Alpha years ago and really enjoyed that experience. Hopefully they begin opening up some more testing soon and invite more of us to play test.

[finite bramble]

Did anyone else dislike the resupply times for gadgets? Felt like I would spend way too much time resupplying. I think maybe it's not the time to resupply that bugs me, it's how you can't leave the supply box or it resets the timer on that resupply. You can spend 5 minutes trying to resupply but then the support throws his bag elsewhere or you have to take cover anf lose that resupply. Feels like I spend a lot of time hiding by the ammo bag

[maiden cosmos]

anyone else have issues with high polling rate mice on the beta? felt like on anything over 1k i was skipping inputs. Is there some kind of polling rate limiter in place?

[marsh bluff]

How do people feel about the class balance part of me wants the classes to return to how they were in bf4 feel like support and assault are way too op and even if they keep classes how they are still think battlefield is back

[maiden cosmos]

kinda like the new system, lets me flex as a medic the way i do best without the weapon limitations holding me back. I know theres a lot of hate behind the new system but i personally really enjoy the freedom

[marsh bluff]

Also i felt like open weapons didn’t affect how the game felt however i feel like open weapons make classes less meaningful and less important although will say someone could make the argument that open weapons provides more ways to play a class this what my boy be doing

[valid harbor]

Does anyone think there maybe a play test tomorrow? Labs updated yesterday. 19GB.

[maiden cosmos]

yeah the snipers specifically REALLY abuse the new system, but the competent ptfo players can really benefit from the new freedom (atleast from what i saw in the beta)

[fringe garnet]

When does labs open?

[remote mesa]

Anyone who has gotten accepted, who was the sender for the email?

[lost verge]

John Dice

[upper ravine]

Just don't kill his puppy.

[remote mesa]

Cool, it was a serious inquiry.

[fringe garnet]

Do you have to register on PC for the playtest or can you do in on phone?

[marsh bluff]

You pick ur platform when you fill out ur preferences

[fringe garnet]

Cool just registered for the next playtest hopefully I get accepted

[hybrid walrus]

I was surprised I got in. I have been a tester since at least BF3 and I was invited later.

[flint maple]

Did they already send out a new wave?

[meager maple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNVnuZbHAqY&t=115s

Latest build from LABS

[eager bough]

Please give engineers mortars so they can have a more active thing to do when theres no vehicles around. I find my self swappign between Support/medic and engineer. I just feel useless as an engineer.

[jagged yew]

I personally feel like Assault is going to have way too many gadgets

[meager maple]

See the 2:35 duration of the leaked link I provided earlier. There's an LWCMS Portable Mortar there.

just remember, open beta isn't full contents of the game...

[eager bough]

Pretty sure engineers always just been "hahah here 50 rockets"

and a robot which isnt the much different than just running up yourself to repair stuff

Supports already pretty stacked with gadgets.

[nimble bridge]

Yeah

They should work like 2042 boxes imo

So you won’t have to wait an eternity to have 1 more grenade

[sick mist]

resupply time for grenades has to be long by design, otherwise a few supports can make an alleyway completely impassable with never-ending grenade spam

[amber elm]

Any news on when the next labs play test is? Still haven’t made it in but can only hope lol

[lucid aurora]

Hi guys, I signed up for battlefield labs although I have not had access I want to put some of the things I saw in the open beta and is that the animation of recognition to pick up the radio to call the drone recognition needs to improve and physics to die sometimes you fly out and prevents you revive a partner or revive you, I guess they are already working on that and I'm late, the q have access enjoy it, it comes jugaso and I'm looking forward to playing

[bleak cradle]

Hey Guys OG BF3 Vet Here, still waiting if I’ll get accepted for the BF Labs , but if not all I ask is for people to bring up getting The Veteran Controls Back like how BF4 Did and if there can be a slight buff to Splash Damage , kind of sucks seeing someone Tank an RPG round cause it hit their feet and not directly to the chest , same for the IFV 25mm Auto cannon , horrible splash damage

[lucid aurora]

Yes, I shot several times against enemy positions with rpg and more than eliminating them, it was practically fire suppression.

[waxen comet]

Is battlefield labs available in oce

[flint maple]

Not yet sadly

Hoping it’ll be available here too

🙏

[reef parcel]

Anyone knows?

[limpid pewter]

can I download labs from ps5?

[proven needle]

Yes it’s possible

[limpid pewter]

is it available to download right now or not yet?

[proven needle]

🤷‍♂️

I registered but I don't have access at labs

[elfin lava]

if there was any beta test i could be a part of, i hope its BF Labs

[floral cradle]

To be honest, weapons unlock between classes didn't effect that much, maybe just to restrict Sniper Class AS DMR/Sniper only so sniper can't carry around LMG's ETC, but for the rest of them it isn't that much of a problem

[rotund pier]

Everyone runs around with ARs

[elfin lava]

lock the weapons

[fallen garnet]

I have sign up to ea lab but i have no confirmation ? I need to do something else ?

[maiden widget]

Had the same question, apparently nobody knows

I assume its just not open right now and all you can do is do the Form

[brittle latch]

Well,you could always sign up for EA Playtesting,same form and is either the prototype for labs or similar,but there you can sign up for BF Playtests

[ocean estuary]

They give the access randomly no ? There is a chance we cannot play Labs yeah ?

[elfin lava]

youll get an email if you get picked, i think they select a new group of people for each individual test

i really want the bf br test

[limpid pewter]

I only use an AR with a sniper class mostly because I just like skins

The ghillie suits are fire 🔥

[cedar flax]

Rpg variants have conical charges meant to penetrate armor and do little damage to personnel. It's fine the way it is.

Now if they implement the mk47 potato launcher.....we're all fucked

[high spruce]

Hopefully Mirak Valley plays good

[flint maple]

I always enjoyed playing Recon as an infiltrator, but I can do that just fine with DMR or carbines

[potent orbit]

Has anyone already tested the new movement? In the tests?
Is anyone able to say how much the movement will change, or are you not allowed to?

[fossil dove]

Hopefully they bring back bunch of ribbons like in bad company 2 it was a good time getting all of those and seeing the xp

[torn widget]

I’d like to see the return of the AH1Z Viper tbh

[turbid heron]

When is the new Playtest?

Are there any News?

[ionic sluice]

give us the possibility to move on side the score top bar!

[cosmic meteor]

I think the game is really well made. My personal tip would be to speed up the operator's lateral movement, so that he could sprint—not as fast as the frontal one, obviously—but to allow for greater defense against unseen enemies given the chaotic nature of the game. Enemies often shoot from the sides or behind, and a soldier could actually move laterally more quickly than the game offers. Lateral movements are really limited with the left analog stick.

[nimble bridge]

Strafing speed is really slow honestly and I noticed no difference with polymer ammo in the beta

Polymer M433 was slower than soft point M4A1

Polymer should make strafing speed of a weapon class a segment faster, ARs with polymer should have carbine strafe speeds, carbines with polymer should have SMG strafe speeds etc.

[mortal crescent]

tldr, the notes are worded badly, it will be more or less not be any different to what already exists and is very minor

[cosmic meteor]

The game could really offer a lot, but given the chaotic nature of the war simulation, it should provide this defensive weapon, that is, allow for a sort of small lateral dash. And the operator should still be able to fire when switching from prone to upright position, not in aiming mode. Obviously, this would be humanly impossible, but covering fire would be welcome. Just hipfire

[elfin lava]

i like the movement the way it is

you shouldnt be able to get out of some situations. you just die. someone comes up behind you, you cant strafe your way out of it, your dead. it makes the planning of your moves matter so much more

[cosmic meteor]

What you say is correct but imagine being in battle maybe even a frontal enemy from afar you should still have the lateral movement without shooting i.e. move a little faster without taking your sight off the enemy, it would be more immersive

[elfin lava]

battlefield isnt a sim

[cosmic meteor]

In my opinion, they've created a truly perfect movement. It's not as imaginative as COD's, but omnidirectionality is a real thing that should be added to a battle game because it makes the gameplay more immersive. It doesn't have to be accelerated, but it does have to be omnidirectional.

[ruby osprey]

Are signups to Labs back open again? I went on the website last night, did the survey thing, and it seemed to say registration was completed - but thought they’d be more of an announcement of it reopening?

[ornate lynx]

Hey I have a quick question I just registered for BFLABS I wanted to know how it goes next? Not everyone is chosen? When will we know, and when will we be able to play? thank you ^^

[cosmic meteor]

Obviously this is my humble opinion as an average player, I'm not a developer or an engineer. Unfortunately😅

[rigid mulch]

Couldn't they incorporate 5 class systems rather than 4. Because I feel a medic should have its own feel without a LMG. You need to be moving around quicker like the engineer class. Still have assault, engineer, support (LMG, supplies ammo), medic with carbines or shotguns and then recon. Just a thought I have.

[tame zenith]

I registered for Battlefield labs. Will I get a confirmation email or can I download the launcher now?

[rotund void]

True.

1. Assault - GLs, respawn beacon, adrenaline, more default ammo (maybe?)
2. Engineer - AT/AA, torch, mines etc.
3. Medic - defib, medpack, smoke GL?
4. Support - LMG, ammo pack, deployable cover
5. Recon - sniper rifles, motion detectors, tracker darts, soflam

Something like that 🤔

[spice ether]

Go back and play BF4 you'll understand the classes

[rustic crystal]

just want back in the game !

[sick mist]

there was never any issue with assault being the medic, as it was for countless entries in the series

[mossy sandal]

Yea they just need to give assault the medkit & defibs again, problem solved

[rigid mulch]

🤔 BF4 medic is built into Assault class not support. Support class is LMG, shotgun and carbine with supplying ammo. BF6 support is medic/ammo and assault is what it says. I see they are mixing it up so its not the same as BF4 and I still think 5 classes would be alright than 4 with one class with mixed rolls.

[sick mist]

if you separate medic from assault, in this day and age, you will get almost no medics and no revives occurring

assault should be the medic because it is by definition the front line class, with a weapon suitable to running in and getting revives off

support with the LMG makes no sense as the medic, because you should be further back, with a heavier weapon

[grand olive]

have they fixed/made the bipods auto deploy yet, having to manually hit the F key while ADS was really annoying

[sick mist]

of course with open weapons its all largely meaningless, people will just run support with an AR, making them assault in everything but name

there was just no need to fix what wasnt broken, the correct 4 class setup is almost 20 years old now

[grand olive]

I don't mind the open class system but locked weapons should have been the default. balancing every weapon with every class is going to be a nightmare of epic proportions.

[sick mist]

the end result will be dozens of weapons that go completely unused, it will take a week for people to min-max

the only thing they can then do, is make all the weapons so close to one another in balance, that the choice between them becomes semi-meaningless

[rigid mulch]

From my small amount of time in the beta, being revived was not happing enough. Most games I played people were more interested in their K/D.

I was late into MP on BF4 but did play BF1 more and I enjoyed the medic class.

[grand olive]

I found that i was getting revived more often than usual in the beta but that could just be the drag mechanic being shiny and new.

[sick mist]

revives weren't happening enough, but a dedicated medic class doesn't fix that, if there is any penalty to using it

most people have no interest in teamwork for its own sake, you have to give the defib to front line combat class

2142 made the changes it did from 2 for good reasons, and it proved itself out, being the best balanced entry the series will probably ever see

[formal estuary]

most people play medic, because in previous games mobility was the highest on that class, pair that with the self heal and you will have sprinting and sliding medics who will not bat an eye about anyone but themselves, on top of that, cod players infested the lobbies aiming for high kills instead of objective scoring and teamwork

[spice ether]

Thats what I ended up doing. AR but with my own ammo resupply was bonkers

[formal estuary]

its an age old problem and I often say "welcome to the battlefield experience" where a medic can be 1m away from you, having the "press E to revive" in their screen and will not care

[formal estuary]

I did this too when i played support, but I was surprised the numbers actually showed more people playing Assault itself.

[sick mist]

reviving simply has to be worth doing even to the selfish, so just make it worth as much sp as a kill

[spice ether]

Shit is infuriating. I'll pop 100+ revives and even if I just brought dude up I'll get ignored

[torpid cove]

i need and i mean need better stuff for recon and i also neeeed recon maps.

[formal estuary]

yes same here, thats why i don't play with randoms, no mics, etc. i'll be in this vc, with people that know, love and understand the game.

[sick mist]

the bleed out option also needs to be completely removed, every death needs a set amount of time on the ground that the revive can occur within

[formal estuary]

fun fact, Liberation peak with helicopter was peak for recon, i got a few 600m+ shots

[grand olive]

ya, recon was pretty lack luster in the beta. the spawn beacon was the best part and they are giving it away to the assult class.

[formal estuary]

in the helo you are invulnerable against the out of bounds barrier, so you can hop in a helo, park it somewhere and snipe from there, then before the timer hits 0 you hop back in and reset the timer

[grand olive]

u evil player lol

[torpid cove]

i can agree. i just feel like recon needs better stuff we are getting no love or attention sadly💔 i just want a little.

[spice ether]

Pass. I shouldn't have to watch said 1m away medic dick around for 30s

[formal estuary]

maybe, but I have an insane 730m ish headshot clipped xd

I believe they are going to make it so you cant park the heli anymore

[sick mist]

you should have a standard respawn timer anyway, no different from earlier games in the series, whether you are revived or not

it serves two purposes that conveniently overlap

[torpid cove]

tbh dude i’m usually on points as a recon its just sometimes i like to sit back so no one flanks.

[grand olive]

nice!, I'm just happy scope zeroing is back. it was really annoying in 2042 having to use the bottom of my scope to do those real longshots

[formal estuary]

oh yeah, but fan of this, especially when you have a majority of points captured as your team, sometimes its best to defend than try and recap because yuou will leave 1 point for another and they will take it right away (at least that was my experience in Beta1)

[formal estuary]

it was more annoying in BFV where you first have to level the gun, to then unlock the specification to zero distance xd

[rigid mulch]

It was like a morgue. Literally had 1 game where someone spoke 🤣

[sick mist]

the time that someone has left alive on the ground should be clear to see above their body, consistent all the time, so that the reviver knows their not running across a street just to for the person to suicide themselves right as they reach them

[formal estuary]

i lowkey liked this, seeing the bullet drop and the anticipation of it hitting

[grand olive]

at least you had the option even if it was level locked. 2042 just straight up removed it

[formal estuary]

this happened regardsless if people had time, i run up to people that are freshly downed and they insta kill themselves as i reach them

[torpid cove]

But hopefully they fix recon and give us more love that’s all i wanted to complain about everything else is perfect in my opinion and assult class just makes the game easy 😂

[sick mist]

hence killing yourself early should not exist

[grand olive]

i liked the skill aspect of it but doing longshots with the NTW-20 (anti tank boltaction) was just painful, i would literally have to aim so high i couldnt see my target anymore

[rigid mulch]

If it went back to assault that'd be fine. But to put a medic class with a LMG is crazy imo. Medics do need that movement to get to there targets to heal. I did my best as a medic to heal.

[formal estuary]

i'm loving that they are making recon more stealthy tho, being able to remove your own ping is a gamechanger, it offers more protection to stay hidden in good spots

[formal estuary]

it should be penalized with a longer respawntime (+3 sec?) (if a medic is close)

they could just add a gamerule for that

[sick mist]

the only reason people do it, is to respawn faster, so that penalty would just be a long way of doing the exact same thing as removing it entirely

easy fix, remove it entirely

[formal estuary]

or only allow it after x seconds of being downed

[torpid cove]

why remove it if someone accidentally chose the wrong class

or what if no one is around?

[formal estuary]

thats why gamerules exist

they can alter the conditions in which instakill is allowed or not

[grand olive]

i know we dont like taking things from COD but if we gave recon a signal jammer (fuzzed out minimap, HUD delete and inability to spot while in its radius), that would be cool

[torpid cove]

Most of the time while i was playing medic just run past me i had 3-4 good medics.

[formal estuary]

if medic present within X, not allowed.

and then the rest of the time its allowed

[sick mist]

if you purposely suicide then it can simply behave exactly as it has in countless prior entries, you are unrevivable and get a standard respawn time

[formal estuary]

so basically uav, but jammer? or ground item?

[torpid cove]

what if they give recon like unable to be seen while laying down like u can only see there sniper clare not there username.

[sick mist]

then you should have a standard respawn time anyway, which happens to be the same as the time you spend on the ground being revivable

[grand olive]

it sounds like a good idea but i figure that would get annoying fast

[formal estuary]

the glares will be dimmed btw

[torpid cove]

i mean assault class is already broken

[flint maple]

Speaking of dimmed glare how much did that mod even help with the glare?

[formal estuary]

but it will force people more towards a teamwork based playstyle instead of ruining a medics day to killing himself while trying to revive you and you instakill, more often than not, medics will try and revive someone in the frontline because that player is there for a reason

[torpid cove]

they should make it like if u freaks spawn u still have a chance to change yyour class and load out but if u already left spawn n ran u cant change so idk how to explaine it.

[grand olive]

ground item, think jammer from blackops 1. it would fuzz out a large circle

[formal estuary]

I have not dabbled around with mods, only thing i tried was change a texture in Cairo right of E point

[flint maple]

I meant weapon mod, should’ve clarified lol

[torpid cove]

but if u purposely run away n die like c4 of ur own then yeah or if u dont take damage by someone u can redeploy and it takes no points

[flint maple]

The scope attachment to reduce glare

[torpid cove]

just like rubbish said you get +3 second time.

[formal estuary]

oh, yeah, i didn't use any of that, I did notice people using it against me, confusing me as to how I didn't see them xd

[formal estuary]

rubbish.. pls 😭

[sick mist]

the defib is an extremely strong tool, about the single strongest tool in the game

so you could give that to assault and keep the combined ammo/med bag with support

you could even give support the respawn beacon, because their job should be securing a position behind the front-line assaults in their squad

goes without saying that respawns shouldnt be a thing on anyone but the squad leader, but thats not going to get changed back so...

[torpid cove]

auto correct lol

[formal estuary]

defib was broken, it was more effective than the melee weapons itself, more powerful than beta1 rpg aswell

[grand olive]

i did a little testing in the beta and found that the respawn time is the same whether or not you skip the revive, if they just slowed down the skip to half its current speed i think that would solve a lot of problems.

[sick mist]

its ability to kill people can be balanced separately, and isnt a reason to effect its balance for its intended purpose

[formal estuary]

another great tool was the engineer's torch, i shredded some people with that xd

[fossil dove]

and crazy thing is how broken they were still 97% of medics never used them lmao

[torpid cove]

i feel like respawn becon should go to both assault and recon. it would might be to much but it could help like the spawn areas and maybe where to move too. nvm i kinda think this is a bad idea

[formal estuary]

it has a niche playstyle to it, you can't defend yourself, a lot of people don't like that, it was perfect for rush-like maps tho, close quarters is where it really showed its potential

[flint maple]

Yeah if they made respawning a lil slower than being revived it might help, at this point the only reason you’d wanna be revived is to preserve your KD

[sick mist]

the defibs performance in its intended role has got to be overpowered frankly, because so many modern players just will not use it at all otherwise

the amount of revives occuring is nothing compared to the older games, even though the defib is just as effective now as it was then

[cobalt turret]

Agree. Need to incentivise the teamwork on all fronts in order to separate it from cod gameplay

[torpid cove]

what if only recon can spawn on THERE beacons but assault classes whole team can spawn on theres.

[fossil dove]

i was talking about more just in general of them not using them lol

[formal estuary]

almost 7.5 mil people were killed by defibs in the beta's. thats 2 million more than the roadkills xd

[flint maple]

The first time I tried to use it offensively I got a quad lmao

[torpid cove]

atp just make it do like 25-50 damage

[formal estuary]

true, but I also believe half the people didn't understand how to use it

[formal estuary]

i think 50 would be best, you risk your life to get that kill, might aswell make it a little more overpowered than it needs to be, on par with melee.

[flint maple]

I think around 70-80 imo

Should be stronger than melee with the charge up time

[sick mist]

assault having the respawn beacon makes as little sense as support having the defib sadly

but they are having to juggle all of the tools around to fill gaps that didnt need to be made in the first place

[torpid cove]

i mean it shouldn’t be used as a weapons

[cobalt turret]

I think choosing closed weapons as the main focus would help to solve the gadget problem

[fossil dove]

why not you can die in real time by defibs

[flint maple]

They created this headache on their own yeah lmao

[formal estuary]

they explained why, recons were hugging the beacon in hard to get places

[torpid cove]

i feel like assult should be able to have beacon but just whole team spawn on it and recon keeps there beacon and only recon can spawn on there’s.

[formal estuary]

they want it to work for the team, best way is to assign it to a class thats there where its most fruitful, aka, on objectives. who's on objectives most of the time, assault.

[cobalt turret]

Spawning on team mates on a map like empire state is hectic enough, no point in adding the spawn beacon to that

[torpid cove]

yeah but u could say the same for the nerf on shotguns

[fossil dove]

assults are supossed to be front line first in ect so makes more sense for them to have it to set the team up

[formal estuary]

50 at any range is realistic tho, for slugs that is. there is no reason it should 1 shot someone over a 100-150m away

[flint maple]

How much did it do in the other games?

[formal estuary]

1 shot at 150m (entirely broken and unbalanced tbh)

[sick mist]

support is the class that the beacon could be given to if recon having it is a problem

the purpose of the support class should be to secure positions, provide a radius of ammo, lay down heavy fire from a longer range weapon, and be a place for assaults to fall back to, so them having the respawn beacon would make a lot more sense than assault having it

[flint maple]

Good old slugs

[torpid cove]

i can agree on this but shot guns should be for like engineering class 😂 or sum assult would be to overpowered with it

[flint maple]

Supports need gadgets taken away if anything, they’re overloaded as it is rn imo

[fossil dove]

right cuz ima throw a scope on a shotty in RL and snipe with it and itll one one people nah the shotty nerf is valid

the shotty was wild in the beta lol

[sick mist]

assault is what you play if you want your faster paced run and gun, support is what you play if you like a slower pace of holding your position

[torpid cove]

kinda like a real shot gun same way u said the shock on my chest gives me heart attack shot gun puts a hole in ur chest

[formal estuary]

i agree, but that would mean assault gets the gl, i dont want that xd

[sick mist]

then move other gadgets around

theres lots of tertiary gadgets, but the classic squadplay relies upon the correct placement of the foundational items, defib, ammo box, etc

[torpid cove]

they should really only be able to have smg and assult rifles

[formal estuary]

the classes dont make sense anyway, why does support have a LMG as intended weapon as opposed to the smg (thats in the engineer class)

[fossil dove]

but it also seemed like you were always running into a shotty left and right since 95% of people were runnin assult

[formal estuary]

support is known for its mobility, being able to go in battle and drag someone out to save them, pairing that with an lmg goes against anything a medic should be imo xd

[flint maple]

I mean ideally the support should be hunkering down and enforcing the team while suppressing the enemy, not that suppression does anything lmao

[torpid cove]

yeah bc assult had everthing 😂 recon was less played bc it had NOTHING no maps for recon or anything.

[flint maple]

Recon was so good though, UAV went crazy

[torpid cove]

the roof “exploit” was prolly the best thing for recon 😂😂

[formal estuary]

Liberation peak was a paparazzi show tho

[flint maple]

If you didn’t mind the no launchers recons dominated close quarters ironically

[formal estuary]

never did that, don't want to dirty my stats by playing cheap

[fossil dove]

the uav for recon is crazy

[torpid cove]

yeah the only map along with roof glitch perfect maps for it they should keep there’s roof part just make it more accessible

[flint maple]

Slap a M4/any AR if open weapons and go to town with the UAV

[formal estuary]

they are blocking it off entirely actually, as its not intended so that's going.

[flint maple]

Be a more effective assault lmao

[sick mist]

you start by balancing assault and support, thats all there is to it

recon and engineer are then simple to make equivilently strong in their roles, but their roles don't play off each other like assault and support do

the foundation is getting assault and support correct and working together correctly, they did it 20 years ago, so shouldnt be hard to do it now

[torpid cove]

man tbh that’s booty i got like 40 kills for free bc they where trash players on the roof

[formal estuary]

changes have already been made between beta1 and beta2, beta2, just launched with an older version so it was still in there

[torpid cove]

can we get a 3rd beta with more stuffff

like a suprise

[formal estuary]

only beta's that are happening is the Labs invite beta's

I didn't get an invite this time around but they are likely ongoing

[flint maple]

I think engineer just needs more infantry only map tools but I guess they’ll get some, forget what the leak was

[torpid cove]

i’m a xbox user so

[formal estuary]

Mirak and Firestorm are being tested anyway

[torpid cove]

or can they least have ai servers so ppl can still bug test stuff out for them

firestorm lit i also at the same time am scared of a battle royal in battlefield it could easily ruin the game and franchise like how it did cod.

[formal estuary]

too bad no Sobek, guess we'll have to wait until the release for that

[torpid cove]

PLEASE EA 😂😂

[brazen flicker]

is labs still under nda

[formal estuary]

from my understanding BF isn't that big on AI like cod is. cod is literally running half its game with AI at this point, turning every pc with the games installed in a botnet

[formal estuary]

always

[torpid cove]

i think that’s urs servers tbh only thing they got going for cod is campaigns and zombies

auto correct all there servers

[tender tree]

is it like completly random for bf labs ?

[flint maple]

I mean the BR mode would probably be similar

Most BRs have half bot lobbies these days

[formal estuary]

think so, you do have to sign up again for the newer test phases, and i doubt a lot of people realised that

[tender tree]

I see
