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.........
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.
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?
AI UPGRADE
I saying this for a year now, pls allow every weapon to bots because they can use it , i tested it by myself, when a teammate was down i changed weapon and he started to use perfectly my weapon that he cant use btw. And add THE LCAA AND BOMBER TO THEIR ARSENAL FINALLY, they can use every vehicle except this two. And pls let us customize their arsenal like attachments on weapons etc, and the vehicles itself what kind of weapon system they should use and defense system. Pls because they can't use every weapon on vehicles like the high tech helicopter, they only using the front machinegun, the pilot not using the rockets and bombs and machingun. And also the m5c bolte not using the mines and etc. Pls let us customizeeee plsss. For love of the battlefield franchise. And fix finally AFTER 2 FREAKING YEAR THE INGAME SOLO BUG AND LIS AND THE AI JET ..... I CANT BELIEVE HOW YOU NOT FIXING IT, INDIE DEVELOPERS FIXING MAJOR BUGS AFTER A WEEK.
Question about Battlefield 2042
More than 3 years u don't know to make good map rotation. Why u have Stadium and Redacted in Breakthrough? Give us better maps like : Stranded, Speahead if u don't want to implement Server Browser. You will never force me to play some maps u only make rage to quit gaming.
Controller bindings
I've been playing battlefield since BFBC2 and have been a mega fan since... but battlefield V and battlefield 2042 have given me a horrible experience. I'm trying to give BF2042 a try again... I was one of the best in the little bird and attack helicopters in BF4 and it's mostly because of my controller scheme at the time. How can I edit my controller input bindings? I hav3 a very very very hard time with the current layout options no matter what I try, I can't even fly straight... in BF4 I used the LT and RT for throttle inputs.... anyway to fix this? How can I change the controller mapping to my glory days settings?
Broken Breakaway Server, Latency Issues and Cheater EA Support?
Hey EA, Are you guys planning on fixing the bugs in breakaway bug where the server crashes for squads and parties at the same time? It's been going on for months now. With the latest updates latency has been terrible on nearly all servers and west servers are unplayable at times. There has been a noticeable uptick in cheaters, are you not able to ban cheaters from creating new account by logging their MAC addresses and blocking at that level? AOD_denimchikn below is a crash dumb log 0xc0000005 The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.You should have made auto crossplay for consoles
Just wanted to say I love bf2042 BUT...... you should have made is auto crossplay for consoles only from the start.as I run the ps5. As I am 49 and been around the block There is not one person that I know of that wants to ever play any pvp game against pc players as we all know all to well that the deck is always stacked against any console players, I understand you tried to even it up with aim assist but lets be honest it does not help. The lobbys are dead with crossplay turned off so console players are forced to play against pc players and this is what is killing this game that and match making is broken. How can it be justified to put a level 10 player in with a squad of people thats like level 200+ or one side is so lopsided that you get absolutely crushed over and over again. All of this plus add the hackers that blatently are using aimbot absolutely makes people quit this awesome great game. I understand you have your own anticheats but lets face it without real person intervention and moderation like on dayz for instance there is many ways hackers use aimbot to this day to cheat as I see it all to often so long as you know what to look for. As I said this game is Awsome hands down. Please make your next bf game with consols only os/xbox with the options to cross-platform with pc. Oh and I do not know any console player that uses aim assist this is usually turned off within the first day of playing by most. [Hero edit: changed title to be more descriptive]
DRAUGR tweaks suggestions
EMP bomb I think it needs a slight area of effect (damage) buff because it's so easy to dodge right now. Slightly faster cool down would also make sense. Right now, the jdam makes it almost obsolete. Rocket pods Rocket pods are alright, but they have an inconsistent fire rate, at least on console. Jammer I think a lot of players here will understand my frustration with the Jammer. Half of the time it just doesn't work because of the inconsistent lockon time (especially when a wildcat is locking onto you). I suspect this could be related to the bad tick rate? Increasing the active duration 1.5-fold might make it a decent counter
CUSTOM CONQUEST "can you adjust time?"
I've been tinkering with the Custom Conquest and at the moment their is no way to set the timer to more than 20 Min. Is this something that was in the original coding for it or is there a segment I'm missing when building the server. Having 48 Vehicles in a Conquest mode is an amazing breath of fresh air but 20 min to 1000 tickets just isn't enough time! Any help fixing or passing the issue along to someone higher up would be amazing and thank you in advance.Why rush removed from game?
Rush can be run only 6-7 days in month, only from Portal mode. This looks like cruel bullying. I previously played BC2, BF3, BF4 - always only in rush mode. What should I do now? Play COD? Okay, I won't play your games anymore, that's all. Keep losing customers. Moving right way.

While playing with the gamepad, when I open the chat and start writing, the "close chat" and "write" button icons cover the message being typed. Simply remove the gamepad command suggestions from the chat box, or move them further down so they don't cover the message being written. Moved from IT BF 2042 Boards to EN BF 2042 Boards, please post in appropriate language board per rules. [EA_Claus]Battlefiel 2042 Player Selection
Honestly, I'm sick of games where my team feels like bots are playing, only the players have nicknames without AI prefixes Why can't you just collect player stats, such as KDA, average score, overall, summarize the players' efficiency ratios, and use that data to assemble squads and teams? I believe that such a selection of players would make the games quality, equal, with tough and equal competition between teams. When I get into such a game, it doesn't matter so much whether I win or lose, there is a feeling afterwards that I just played a great game. Well, alas, it's too late to discuss such a change for a part that is no longer supported, but I extremely hope that such a fair selection of players will be in the new part. I realize that it will increase the search time - let it, I'm willing to wait 5 minutes if every game I play is 5+
