We've temporarily removed BR Initiation from live playlists while we investigate a potential server issue that may cause players to get stuck in matchmaking or return to the main menu.

Thanks for your patience while we work on a resolution.

    Might be better with a K/D gate than rank gate. Im level 496 but im not very good, low K/D.. never played BR like games or online multiplayer games before i started playing redsec in late January.. a level 50 in redsec can be a level 1000 i Warzone. The K/D is a direct skill indicator. Rank/level can just be duration.

    Will it come back without the rank gate? I was so happy when i got it back on my menu. 

  • So is there an actual matchmaking error for Redsec Ranked Gold players, or are there just too many rookies/ not enough of a player base on each Helo that it renders the match making useless for anyone Gold or Higher?

  • BR casual is coming. Realistically initiation BR shouldn’t be for anyone over a certain level.

    INCIDENT REPORT: TOTAL REJECTION FROM THE VETERAN COMMUNITY. TO: Battlefield Development Team / EA Executives. FROM: Kenstigmon (Saga Veteran since BC2). SUBJECT: The end of loyalty from real players. MESSAGE: This is a direct warning regarding the current state of the game following the latest update. You are sacrificing competitive integrity for a few cents from novice players, and it is going to cost you dearly. SKILL GAP MANIPULATION: Stop using level 300+ veterans as babysitters in your matchmaking system. It is unacceptable that we are assigned to teams of newbies against coordinated groups just to balance your retention statistics. GAMEPLAY DEGRADATION: You have broken the mechanical experience. The bug that switches fire modes from full-auto to burst/single-fire and the TTK imbalance that allows any novice to kill us in one shot is an insult to the muscle memory we have built over more than a decade. CORRUPT PRIORITIES: It is obvious that you prefer selling skins and battle passes over fixing the netcode and server stability. In the words of Kenstigmon: You are pulling **bleep** just to earn a few **bleep** pennies, screwing over the entire community that has followed this saga since Bad Company 2. We are fed up with you trying to teach the basics to those of us who are already masters on the battlefield.

    100% this. Redsec duos is crazy, you fly down, fight 3 teams and hope for the best. At least this mode you can land, loot up, maybe fight 1 team along the way, do some missions and then battle to win. At least you dont have to sit in a stupid lobby where you cant edit a loadout.

    Exactly that! But will EA notice this? Are there any stats to confirm this? Also this would be an easy win for EA - casual lobby for 4 players, this is what people want, but I  guess BF is not that kind of game, it's main focus is multiplayer. It's a shame coz it is really good game. But you get annoyed if you can't fire one bullet and just gets killed from who knows where lol

  • Once you hit gold Rank in redsec ranked you cannot find a match you just get stuck in matchmaking indefinitely.

    ok so you f-up and trying to fix it.. ok..cool.. i have no problem with that... but i have questions: do you notice how popular this mode is, why ppl like it... do you have plans for some kind develope more in this way (e.g.  adding other map or other part of this map?) basically a content for "casual" players?
