Anybody else banned for no reason?
15+years of playing various battlefield games and suddenly im permanently banned for cheating mid-game. Im barely computer literate and would have no clue how to cheat even if I wanted to. I appealed the ban and EA just immediately responds saying they conducted a full investigation and have taken the correct action and denied the appeal. No explanation of how I am cheating whatsoever. Battlefield is pretty much the only reason I have a gaming laptop. Not sure if it's somehow related but I got an error yesterday saying "eaanticheat" has encountered an unacceptable platform or something like that and the game stopped working. I went online and some forum posts said to go into the anticheat program and reinstall battlefield files so I tried that but it didnt do anything. I then Uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game and it went back to normal and worked fine for like 10 rounds before I was suddenly banned in the middle of a match for seemingly no reason. Didn't have a crazy score, wasnt doing anything weird, DEFINITELY dont have some kind of cheating software which seems to be what they ban you for. Just wondering if im the only one. This is super confusing and frustrating since they won't even tell me how they think im cheating.
I do wonder how balance calculator works
During the past couple of months I have been more and more puzzled about the balance in this game. Way too often you get the feeling like you are alone - that most of team just camp in corner of map or simply loose every single battle and have k/d like 3-24. Brand new players should not play with high skilled players. Should be possible to kind of find all new players and let the play on their own server. Also think it must be very frustrating to get killed like that. I also think that many dive straight into game and multiplayer with no clue how game works - not even try with coop play / bots first. Every single time a new gun comes out - I go for bots play and level up gun fast and get all attachments. Why this has gotten worse and worse over the last 2-3 months I dont know - but that is how I see this.Hit registration and Battlefield franchise.
I wonder are my only one suffering bad hit registration in BF2042? ( compared to other games). I've been gaming since castle wolfenstein / Original doom and own about all BF titles. I have decent rig ( 7800X3D, rtx 4070 ( overclocked) with loads of fast memory, fast ssd. I play using low latency fiber conn. Back in the days battlefield games were fun to play. Now in many of the "lobbies/games" you join hit registration is not in level one can expect in year 2025. When i say bad hit registration; i mean if i shoot with aimed gun into certain position, players can run through the bullet path without getting any hits and they just one shot kill players. Their characted does not even show that they are pointing a gun at you. In many cases you get shot meters after you have run behind corner. Your body can be recovered up to 10 meters behind 90 degrees corner. Or if you duck down you get still hit one second after beeing in cover for sure. I wonder do developers realise, that gunplay is THE most important aspect when developing fps games? I guess they dont! Main points in this franchise has been around "flying squirrols" and "low-iq" character lines and charms & cosmetics nobody asked. I dont even mention cheaters, because back in BF5 era my account got banned for a years from this forum complaining about huge number of cheaters in almost every round.
Add a server browser
DICE, please add a server browser. I cannot find matches in my region(India). I am just stuck on the waiting for players screen and the match never starts or there are only 20-30 players in a match. Please keep in mind this is the case even when crossplay is on. I want to play on EU servers but can’t do it unless a server browser is implemented. Please consider this request as you are already implementing some missing features from previous battlefield’s according to today’s details. Unless a server browser is implemented I cannot play BF2042.
EVERY WEAPON TO AI!
Add finally every weapon to the AI. They can use them perfectly allow them pls, it will make the sologame feel like multiplayer. You guys were capable to add new weapons for the new event ai but you didnt thought maybe ye it will be a good idea to add them for the main game ai???????? man im telling this for half and a year now... literally for me it feels like talking to a deaf now... and also would you be so kind to fix the freaking ai jets now they bugged and useless from the start when they was added in the game........ I dont know who reads the feedbacks at dice but man wth.....
I am grateful about the AN-94 in 2042 but...
Why so late? Me and others have been asking it for years. It seems to have been added to BF4 and 2042 so late that I have already lost most of my drive to play the respective games. It will definitely motivate me to do some 2042 again, but geez, next time do not wait 2 years to implement a requested gun.Which Tier 1 items are you working on?

Hello everyone! I wanted to make some quick updated ideas for the battlefield team. The update is currently at update 8.6 and hopefully we can get to update 9.0 or 10.0. Now some suggestions you've heard recently was that long note titled, "A List of Suggestions to Make Battlefield the Best it Can Be" but I'll explain a little bit more and probably simplify it. What I'm about to update for the suggestions is that there can be a medium update, which could be the very last update where specialists are only limited to a single squad on the team, while the other majority of the team plays as US or Russian grunt soldiers. In short, only one squad plays specialists, and the rest of the team plays as the soldiers used by AI Bots like in solo modes. I would also think a penalty for a specialist dying would make a huge impact, like specialists are walking capture points...I guess. So that means team score will be deducted once a specialist dies. In battlefield 2042's first trailer, there's a lot of grunts but not a lot of specialists. New generations who buy the game shouldn't be tricked that you can't play as the grunts. Last thing, you might be asking why it is a medium update. That's because using the portal class system, that can be implemented into the main game, and soldier models are switched into the AI Bot soldier models. I don't want the remaining team to start from scratch. I'd love to hear some feedback from the community, hear some revising ideas from you guys, and hear some comments from EA_Leeuw or any more members of the Battlefield team! Let me know about any other suggestions I could give! Events, bugs, or feedback on the next battlefield game! 👍
War Machine Kinda Sucks
Frankly, it's too hard, especially with randoms. This mode expects you to play in a very specific way. You need to rush the point, as a team, smoke, arm, then fend off the robots. That's IF you can get close enough to the point and your team has the ability to work together, which randoms just don't have. The maps are not very good for this mode. You need purposed built maps for a mode like this, if the enemies never stop spawning, or don't let up in the slightest. Open areas don't work here. You need a better ping system for this type of PvE content. Look to games like Apex, they use a dial and you can communicate exclusively through that without using your voice. No one is using voice in this game, because the base game doesn't require it. So people are going to start using it just for one mode? That's a nope. Friendly fire was not the move. Now I have to constantly watch for people jumping in front of me while firing, which is every average players absolute favorite move in the world to do. They LOVE jumping in front of me in the regular game, now they do it in this new mode as well. I also have to worry about being shot in the back because my teammate wants to shoot from the same exact square foot I'm standing on. Another terrible habit that most players have in 2042. A couple good things from this update. The robots looks cool! Their movement and logic seems to be updated quite a bit, seems like something that's been getting developed for a little while now? Maybe its a placebo, but the AI seemed to be getting improvements over this past year. I like that you can crawl to cover, which is helpful for this mode. However, why on Earth is it in Third Person?! Why is the camera positioned in a manner that I'm trying to look INSIDE my character? It should be First Person. The camera flipping around transitioning is unnecessary and disorientating for no reason. I'm glad Dice is still working on the game, but unfortunately they don't get PvE. I want to punch a hole through the enemy, catch a break, arm, and then defend. You can't do that though. There is no break or reward for mowing down 20-30 bots in 10 seconds, which doesn't feel good at all to play. Sure it's hard, but is it challenging in a fun way? Not really. Just disappointed because it sounded fun when it was announced.Reduce the number of players needed to start a round
With the Player Base rapidly shrinking I think it is even more important now that they reduce the number of players needed to start a round. I notice that they actually increased the number of players needed to start World Tour (Official Portal Mode). It was always a one player start (like most of the OPM's) but they raised it to 4 which seems strange. How do you guys feel, would you be happy with one player starts in all modes. ?
