Meet the Community Managers of the EA Forums
Hello everyone, with the release of the reveal trailer for Battlefield 6 and now that we’ve all had some time to settle in to the EA Forums I thought now would be a good time to set up a thread where you can meet the EA Forums Community team and hear a little bit about our own Battlefield experience! I’m Rtas, or EA_Rtas to be more precise, if you’ve been around since the old Battlefield forums you might recognize me as one of the old EA moderators during the Battlefield V era. I know I recognize some usernames when I read through the forums and it’s always good to see the old guard still around. I first got into Battlefield with Battlefield 1943 back on the Xbox 360 and was immediately hooked. Took me some time to get good and learn to PTFO but I really came into my own with Battlefield 3 as a medic. Long hours of Operation Metro (If you were ever on the receiving end of my constant revives while under enemy fire then you have my sincere apologies) and Damavand Peak were absolutely formative for me throughout my time with Battlefield 3 and cemented it as probably my favourite in the series. Though I think that was also influenced by a certain show on Youtube I think we're all familiar with here, Battlefield Friends which I would watch every time a new video would release. What is my role here? You’ll see me around the forums not only here in the Battlefield section but also on the Star Wars boards. I read as much of your feedback as I am able and pass it on to the right people as well as helping out wherever and whenever I can with troubleshooting and while I can't be everywhere all the time, that is where my excellent teammates come in. Ideally we try to make sure this is a friendly place for everyone to talk about Battlefield. What makes a great community is everyone working together as a team, you'll see that from the other community managers that will also post in this thread. We work together to make sure that nothing is missed on these forums, even if you don't get an immediate response we read everything. But thats enough from me, for now I’ll pass it on to the rest of the folks on our team so you can get to know the folks helping you here on the EA Forums. See you on the Battlefield ~Rtas
Which mechanics do you want and which not?
So we're closing in on the multiplayer reveal. Let's start the discussion on what mechanics from previous titles you would like to see return in Battlefield 6 and which absolutely not? Here's my list. Interested to see what others think. YES Server Browser with persistent servers Rental servers Scoreboard (shouldn´t have to list this but BF2042 taught us otherwise) Limited ammo on vehicles, combined with re-supply stations Jets and helicopters should spawn at base, not mid-air Soldier leaning Squad revive Hardcore mode Basic militaristic cosmetics Class locked weapons 64 players max Modes: Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush, TDM, Frontlines, Operations Maps: good variety between AOW and Close Quarters, Naval maps, Night maps 1st person takedown animation Destruction Dynamic weather Realistic movement DLC with 4 new maps, new modes and vehicles every quarter Premium pass NO Specialists Goofy cosmetics Cringe voicelines Excessive spotting In-game wallhack abilities/gadgets Crossplay on by default XL chaos modes 3rd person animations, it should be a proper FPS No excessive sliding, bunny hopping, dolphin diving or sprinting with a heavy LMG That's it for now, but I might add to this list by means of editing the OP.
Meet the Champions&Heroes of the EA Forums
Since we have a Community Managers thread, I felt it only right to make one for EA Heroes and Champions here on the forums. I'm LOLGotYerTags, AKA PRAET0R1AN™ on the Steam Forums, I've been playing Battlefield since Bad company 2 released on PC. Those of you from old-old Battlefield forums ( and EA AnswersHQ and Battlelog ) may remember me. My first introduction with moderation came roughly around 5 to 6 months following Battlefield 4's launch and I've been moderating since and whilst I may not agree with some posts I'm always willing to listen and pass on feedback provided it is constructive and respectful :) I've been around for a number of years as you can probably imagine, Handling naughty posts, But have recently been playing some ready or not, silent hill 2, DayZ, Forza Horizon 4 and 5. I actively participate in VGP ( videogame photography ) and also make wallpapers and such that are battlefield related including using Wallpaper engine for lovely animated wallpapers. [ See here : https://steamcommunity.com/id/LOLGotYerTags/myworkshopfiles ] I'm actively moderating over on the Steam forums so my presence here can be hit and miss, But I do look in from time to time and collect feedback for vets and newbies alike. I also create content ( sparingly for the time being at least ) for the EA Creator Network and I am patiently awaiting BF6 and all the carnage that will inevitably come with it. If you guys have any questions you want to ask us, Feel free to ask ( though I can't guarantee all questions can be answered but we'll try to at least ) I hope you enjoy your home here on the Battlefield forum amongst us passionate players. But for now, This is LGYT signing off o/
Trailer was hype
Definitely interested in a lot of the locations. Looks like we got Brooklyn heavily invested in with what looked like Coney Island as well. Even saw the same locations they feature Division 1 and 2 with which seemed like a fun coincidence or homage. Very VERY interested to see what looked like Yosemite National Park play out, and who can't neglect the whole shot of Hoover Dam. Can't wait to see what comes up next week with MP on the 31st.
Request: Full Gyroscope Aiming Support and Auto-Calibration Toggle
Dear Dev team, I’m a PlayStation player and a big fan of first-person shooters. I truly appreciate developers who implement gyroscope aiming — it’s a modern, precise, and comfortable mechanic that significantly enhances controller gameplay, especially for players who are physically disabled. I’d like to share a suggestion regarding future gyroscope support in your game. In Battlefield, for example, gyroscope aiming is technically present in the latest alpha versions (such as BF6), but it’s currently non-functional. I’d love to see a fully developed and customizable implementation of gyroscope aiming — similar to how it works in Fortnite, THE FINALS, or Call of Duty. Most importantly, I’d love to see: An option to disable gyroscope auto-calibration. This system is built into PlayStation controllers and often interferes with small, precise movements — such as when using sniper rifles or trying to control recoil. While it can’t be disabled at the system level, some games successfully disable it within their own engine (e.g., Fortnite). Comprehensive customization options — sensitivity, acceleration, input threshold, inversion, and more — just like in the titles mentioned above. Features like these show care for detail and greatly improve the controller experience for many players. Thank you for your work — I hope this feedback is useful! Sincerely, Artem Rolar Horun P.S. I played the BF alpha and it was awesome.
Medals, Ribbons and Dogtags...
I hope these return to Battlefield 6 in much the same manner as they were to be found in Battlefield 1. I had a lot of fun working my way through collecting as many as I could. It made me play the game in different ways, on various modes, and with other weapons, etc. This, to me, added depth to the game, increased its longevity, and, above all, a sense of attainment and fun that kept me playing long after I might've otherwise stopped. I hope they nail this perhaps undervalued aspect again.
About the Server Browser...
I often see requests for a server browser on social media. I agree that a server browser is necessary, but when hosting a community event, all you need to do is search in the server browser, making it easy to jump to the same server. With the current system, you can't jump to the same server unless you jump from your friends list.
Welcome back, Soldier!, what's your class?
We are almost there! Next Thursday is the multiplayer reveal, which class will be your main? I'm going for anti-vehicle, always fun to bring the smack to the tanks while rolling with the squad to repair, while SMGs and carbines will be my first pick for it. So, what's yours?
Battlefield 6 AI Soldiers
One of the few things I actually did like about Battlefield 2042 was that there were finally AI Soldiers for us to play with and against. Although personally I think they need upgrades for the new game to make them feel a lot better to play with. Yes I understand others don't want them in the public servers. But my question is will they still be available in Private Servers and Solo/COOP matches like they are in Battlefield 2042?
Introductions and BF6 expectations
I thought now may be a good time, with the reveal of Battlefield 6, to start fresh and open a new chapter. I’d like to start off with a quick introduction of myself and what my expectations for Battlefield 6 are. Feel free to do the same! My name is Vincent AKA Sawtooth75 and my Battlefield story began with playing the campaign of BFBC on PS3, followed by BF1942, BFBC2 and BF3. It was only with BF4 in 2013 that I actually started playing Multiplayer, which opened the door to the Battlefield community for me. At some point I started spending more time on the Battlefield forums, where I eventually became part of an early form of EA Game Changer program and started as a volunteer moderator in the Battlefield forums. After doing that for a while, I took over as host for FridayNightBattlefield for Playstation Europe from Lee Williams, running the event in BF1. This became the highlight of my Battlefield ‘career’, where I found more friends than I ever imagined possible. No doubt some of you earned their FNB dog tag in one of my weekly FNB events on PS4😃. After a marginally disappointing BFV and an immensely disappointing start of BF2042, I decided it was enough and walked away from the Battlefield franchise and community. So what am I expecting from Battlefield 6? To be honest I don’t fully know yet. In a way I’m hoping for a game very similar to Battlefield 4, but at the same time I don’t know if that’s a realistic expectation or more coming from sentiment. I like the modern setting, the boots on the ground experience, the gritty style. I prefer a game that is not too vehicle heavy, balanced but leaning more towards infantry play. I like a varied experience, playing on big open maps, but also on urban maps all the way down to small linear infantry only maps. My favorite game mode used to be domination, although I probably spent most of my time in the well known conquest meat grinders. I’m a completionist, so I really like to have a broad selection of weapons and assignments/awards to work on. I’m not a fan of ridiculous skins, I prefer a game grounded in a military setting. I guess we will know soon if the game is going to tick all the right boxes.
BF6 with Friends
Hello BF team, I would like to bring up the gaming of people who like to play with a bunch of friends, or the many gaming communities going to play this title in the future. In BFV and prior titles the server would not constantly dismantle after the round ended so that you stay with your friends in the same next game. However in 2042 this was not possible and the second squad had to join the other squad at matchmaking, often resulting in some players ending up in the queue. I am hoping that squad play, playing with friends, and community gaming is considered for this upcoming title. I am hoping for a seamless option, like an ingame party that allows for 12 or more players. At matchmaking the parties are pulled into the new server and create the squads. Maybe an option in the settings would allow us to define, if a full squad or equal squad size is preferred. I might be mistaken but I heard that Battlefront 2 had a system that would allow for this. Since it is also an EA game, I am hopeful this can make the upcoming game ready for playing with friends. Thank you
A couple BF6 thoughts
Hey all, been a while since I’ve been here, I’d say a couple years or so. I was a “Hero”, like the other individuals that watch over these Battlefield Forums. Anyway, I’m sure these have been brought up, but doesn’t hurt to reiterate: No more Seasons please, bring back Battlepacks that can be earnable and purchasable + have limited-time events where we can earn cool cosmetics. Server Browser - definitely a must, so we can join the Maps and Modes that we want to play. Rental Servers - To have fun with friends, and also for those that are still into the Competitive scene and still like to have Tournaments. This could also bring back Community events like Humans vs Zombies, FridayNightBattlefield Custom Servers, etc. DO NOT go the route of CoD, and start adding dumb looking skins / crossovers with different products / franchises that no one asked for. Bring back the CTE (Community Test Environment) on PC AND Consoles. Premium Pass needs to be a thing again. Live Service has a history of destroying these games, starting with Battlefield V. Premium Pass guarantees us Content, and it is not drip-fed to us through Live Service. Instead, we get Expansions similar to BF1, with new Maps, Weapons, Gadgets, etc. This is a more viable solution than Live Service. Anyway, I think that’s it 😅 Til next time 🫡
BF is the best community in the world.
I believe that Battlefield is what it is because of the community. I first learned about FNB during the BF4 era and made friends with people from many countries. During BF1, I held my own clan events. I was supported by many people. I'm really looking forward to this new game. I want to play with old friends. Sorry for my poor English.Anyone else coming out of Battlefield retirement for BF6?
As the title says. I’m basically retired from Battlefield after feeling disappointed and frustrated with 2042 after my very long Battlefield career. I’m trying to keep my distance and not get dragged into the hype. Anyone else in the same position?
Flight Stick Support
I have noticed that since after BF4, there was no support for flight sticks. They have kept the controller or keyboard for flying only. Since the talks of BF going back to their roots of the older games, I would like to see support of Flight sticks brought back as well. Is there a possibility to bring that back as well?? Nothing like getting into a heated air combat and being able to pull some amazing maneuvers...
