Which Tier 1 items are you working on?
Hi there, players! 🙌 Unlocking a Tier 1 skin for a Specialist, Vehicle or Gun is of course quite an achievement. An achievement that should be shared and celebrated! That is why we made this thread, so that we can share and celebrate these great achievements with each other, and so that we can share tips & tricks for unlocking the Tier 1 skins as optimally as possible! For example, Tips & Tricks can be about the best Game Modes, Maps and/or ways of playing to make the best possible progress! Good work on those Tier 1 skins, @Its_Travis_199, @NexonXG, @EA_Atic, @ElliotLH, @Chytrooki, @TTZ_Dipsy! 🥳 Well done! So, share those Tier 1 skin unlocks and celebrate those achievements! 🙌 Good luck out there on the Battlefield, No-Pats!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. ?
Game lags DF 2042
Hello! I ran into this problem when I start playing the game in the first 5-10 minutes everything is fine, and then there are freezes and players + all the equipment is teleported. I looked at the performance graph and there the CFT jumps help me solve this problem (Moved to EN boards)
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.DICE please keep the weekly missions going.
As the title says I think that it would be a real boost for the game if they kept the weekly missions going right up until the next BF launches. I know players have mentioned this in other threads but I just want to give it it's own thread so it gets maximum visibility. I personally feel it would help maintain the current player base which is very important especially with new titles launching recently. Not sure how difficult it would be to provide weekly missions, but how do you guys feel about it. ? If we could drum up enough support do you think we could persuade DICE to implement it. ?
Time waiting
I know this game is old but it is getting ridiculous waiting for a game even during the weekends. 16 to start? We sit here and sit here 14 one leaves, 15 two leave, 16 one leaves, the counter stops. over and over and then when we get in the game, it is full of AI????? why do you need to keep everyone waiting for 20 minutes just to shove bots in anyway. Do the same thing you do to hazard mode. 12 wait not enough 8 wait not enough 4 wait.. Sitting around map after map waiting for 16 people is dumb.........
What will EA have to do to earn your trust back?
What will EA HAVE to include in the next Battlefield game for you to trust them again and for you to even contemplate buying it? For example if they say it will have a server browser but bring back specialists? Will you buy it? What is the minimum they will need to include for you to buy the game?
Make destroying vehicles more rewarding
So many games (with randoms) are just lost because people dont destroy vehicles. Teach them the importance. Make it more rewarding. And the feeling when getting one rocket in just to be hunted down by the tank is not very rewarding either. Dont let the tanks retreat and self heal, it just feels wrong and very unsatisfying. Vehicles are NOT too strong, Rockets are NOT too weak. But too many people don´t care or don´t want to fight vehicles. And then vehicles become too strong if not countered enough. A lot of players (coming from other shooter games) are not used to playing with or against vehicles. Teach them! And make playing against them and destroying them more satisfying and rewarding. At the moment it is just an unsatisfying duty I try to fulfill because else the game is lost. Thanks for listening.Soflam + IFV guided missile bugged
Hi. Okay, when I get painted and something gonna lock me, I flare. Since there is delay, usually when I flare, missile is shot, even tho it's still showing me I'm getting locked. I flare right after getting locked by something cause m5 and rpg velocity is fast and I die before I get actually message of missile shot if close, so I use cautions. But with IFV it's differently. I get painted by soflam, something is locking (ifv guided), I hear missile shot sound, I flare. All disappears, no lockon sound, no incoming missiles and suddenly boom, I got shot by ifv guided which lockon broke but actually it did not. Question, how in possible ways this has not been tested and why the hell it's not fixed???? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr_P4wzTmxkEA Anti Cheat Is Useless - Asia Region
I'm a long time Battlefield player (since BF2) and I am sad to say that the game is in a disgusting place right now. Do EA even give a rats *rs* about stopping the cheating and associated malarky going on??? I Seriously doubt it based on the current state of all current games - BF 1, BF V, and even BF 2042! I'm based in the Asia region (but English originally) and for the last few years I've been playing between BF 2042 and BF V (I can't play BF 1 because the cheaters are just too rampant here) I was really hopeful that the 'NEW EA ANTI CHEAT' would have a positive impact on reducing the number of cheaters in the game, but alas, they are more aggressive and prevalent than ever before!!! There is not a single DICE server that you can go to over here - mostly Singapore & Japan based - that hasn't got someone in the Spectator area spamming the chat channel with nonsense symbols (I guess it doesn't show Chinese characters) with links to their cheat websites. This makes in game communication impossible as they post every 10 milliseconds or so. These websites they advertise (I checked using a Tor browser to see what they were doing) Have cheats listed for EVERY SINNGLE EA (AND OTHER) BF GAMES!!! There are now players running around with crazy cheats, some of which I have seen and recorded AND REPORTED VIA THE INAGAME MECHANICS - Which also DOES NOTHING!!! Speed hacks - They run around like the flash, making it impossible to get them. Redeploy hacks - Makes the entire server redeploy, even their own team. A shield hack - Yes, one cheater I shot even had messages come up on screen saying his shield had been damaged! unlimited ammo - firing way more rockets, grenades, dynamite or whatever else, way more than they should have. Aimbot - pretty self-explanatory this one. I am sure there are more hacks they use but these are the ones I have seen and recorded evidence of. I even shared a short video on my YT channel showing one hacker doing some of these. Now, I understand, it's not easy to prevent hacker companies from making these cheats, but surely some human level intervention by EA would significantly reduce this, with them actively checking reports and banning players, and when I say ban, I mean MAC ADDRESS BAN. not just account ban. You ban their account and they just buy another one! It's only $3 dollars for the game in China!!! One cheater in a chat I was on said such, just laughed at what a joke they think EA is and said "if I lose account, I just buy another one!" Maybe even setting some server rules around the amount to times people can post in chat channels before they get kicked/banned from servers would be a massive help. So please, PLEASE EA - Get off your backsides and start to do something about this. IT'S RUINING THE GAME FOR THE REAL PLAYERS!!!! ESPECIALLY IN ASIA - OR DO YOU REALLY NOT CARE?!?!?!

Conquest Hardcore needs some work
Yes I know its temporary, yes I know there are measures in place to prevent tk, however... There needs to be something in place in comroses or 3d spotting like a 3/4 spot option in place to warn others to be aware that there will be a frigging incoming kerosene bomb nuke in place at a specific location and or a way not to tk with HE rounds from Draugr and tanks... The amount of unintentional tk I got with a kerosene despite telling people to be aware is absurd...at least make the ally dots visible from a distance (if someone has a color that works if I struggle with blues on eyesight, lmk) Sure while we're at it in cqc maps like redacted, let's mention the idiots that * at you while using Crawfords minuligun Mainly the fact that people can tk you intentionally, revive you, do it again and again and again and you can't stop it unless maybe moving squads and locking it for griefers. It needs to be reworked There used to be commander mode in bf4 that warned allies and squad mates about a heavy enemy presence AND to gtfo before a nuke... Give us something so anti tk procedures don't kill us if we kill friendlies accidentally while in Draugr with nukes/HE rounds. Off topic...why do APS systems block AP draugr rounds...they are AP bullets no? I get HE rounds but why AP?!
File a formal complaint
I would like to file a formal complaint against EA Support. Previous topics about this have replies from Answers HQ saying they can do it here, so that's what I'm doing. I play BF2042 and have played BF in general since the series was created. I randomly received a Ban yesterday with a claim of 'cheating', but no evidence or background. I filed an appeal and they just said, 'our system says you were cheating so you are', still with no evidence. I have never cheated in any game, ever, and have been playing online games for over 2 decades with no issues. This is personally insulting after putting so much money into EA to have them just say 'screw you and the horse you rode in on.' Does EA not consider the possibility of false positives? There are hundreds of examples out there of people just waking up to a ban with EA offering no evidence or support. Live chat appears disabled. Phone support is a dead service and the options for a rep just hang up on you. I demand this be reviewed by escalated support and I be given evidence of this claim. I'm 38 with 5 kids, and this is one of the few things I have after work to relax and I won't just sit by while it's stolen from me by incompetent systems.
Can we stop using standby loaded cannons？
Seriously, I'm totally tired of complaining. This was the case with the LATV4 30mm cannon from the very beginning. This gun is perfect, it just shouldn't be mounted on a reconnaissance vehicle. LATV4 respawn has a short cooldown and a large number of deployable vehicles, which is too malignant for an environment where heavy ground vehicles are severely limited at the time. But it's designed with the right idea, high rate of fire, slow overheating, low damage, and a large splash range. It is more suitable for IFV. For the BMP2 and M3A3, both the original magazine gun and the overheating limit of the 2042 are good, and even to make a difference between them, it is only necessary to adjust the rate of fire and damage. The BMP2 can adjust the overheat limit to 15-20 rounds, increase the rate of fire, reduce damage, and adjust the amount of ammo needed to kill from 3-4 rounds to 6-8 rounds. The M3A3 can retain its current rate of fire and overheat limit of 8 or 10 rounds, and can reduce some damage if there is a concern that it will be too lethal. My opinion is that IFV needs more suppressive firepower than precision kills. Vehicles are mostly the main threat units with large sizes, and they don't have many comfortable conditions to snipe infantry, especially if the IFV is a front-line support unit. Sacrificing sustained firepower and high damage at a single point brings a very low margin for error, and every shot needs to be accurately hit, otherwise there is no threat to enemy infantry. So if you want to be efficient in this firing mode, you should have a rear point, but doesn't this turn into infantry fighting on the front line and vehicles at leisure in the rear?
2042 vehicle mounted TOW
I don't remember the vehicle-mounted TOW on some 2042 vehicles being extremely slow compared to the BF3 TOW. Please explain to me why they nerfed it so badly. Also, why did they remove the 30, 40, and 57mm main gun options for the 2043 Wildcat vehicle???? please at least fix the 2042 mounted TOW ( let it be used by the LATv recon truck and keep it on the M5C Bolte).
