Battlefield 6 Online More Freedom and Better Settings for Everyone Hi everyone
I want to share an idea that I think many Battlefield 6 Online players might understand and agree with. Right now, vehicle gameplay and access can feel a bit limited and complicated for a lot of players. Idea – More Freedom for Vehicles: I think Battlefield Online would be much more fun if vehicles were more freely accessible for all players, similar to GTA Online: Free access to helicopters Free access to jet fighters Free access to tanks Less waiting time for vehicle spawns More freedom to practice and enjoy vehicle combat Vehicle gameplay is one of the most exciting parts of Battlefield, and giving players more access would help many people improve and enjoy it more. Settings Improvement Idea: I also think the game settings menu could be improved to feel simpler and more useful: Option for a stable crosshair that doesn’t move upward Cleaner settings layout based on playstyle Better separation between infantry and vehicle settings The goal is to make the game easier to understand and less confusing for all players. Final thought: I believe these changes would make the game feel more: Fun Accessible Fair Enjoyable for all types of players What do you think? Do you agree or disagree?
BF2042. Unable to load into matches.
When I try to enter a match, it finds me, then there's a black screen and I'm thrown out into the lobby. But at the same time, other modes are loading. Can you help me to fix it?

Quote AI Overview Banana bender A "banana bender" is an Australian slang term for a person who lives in or is a native of the state of Queensland. The term is a humorous, sometimes derogatory, reference to the state’s large banana-growing industry, implying Queenslanders spend their time putting the bend into straight bananas. [1, 2, 3] Key Aspects of the Term: • Origin: The term dates back to at least 1937, with records confirming its use for Queenslanders by 1940. It stems from the stereotype of Queensland being "bananaland". • Context: It is largely considered an affectionate or funny nickname, rather than a deeply offensive insult. • Related Terms: Queensland is sometimes referred to as "bananaland" and the Queensland border as the "banana curtain". • Alternative Name: People from Queensland are also sometimes called "Bananalanders". [1, 2, 3] The term is widely recognized across Australia, particularly by residents of southern states referring to Queenslanders, and is a staple of Australian slang. [1, 2], EA forced an Australian using the tag: "Bananabender", to change their username, because some person decided to 'take offence' at the name. All I can say is EA did not research the meaning of 'bananabender.Search the Australian National University - School of Literature and Linguistics - Type in - bananabender'. It gives you this definition: banana bender A Queenslander. The term derives from the joking notion (as perceived from the southern states of Australia) that Queenslanders spend their time putting bends into bananas. An article from 15 July 1937 in the Queenslander provides a forerunner to the term when a man is asked by the Queen what his occupation is: "I'm a banana-bender". Further to enlighten her Majesty he explained that bananas grew straight on the trees, and so just before they ripened, his was the job to mount the ladder, and with a specialised twist of the wrist, put into the fruit the Grecian bend that was half its charm. The association of bananas with Queensland ('banana land') is based on the extensive banana-growing industry in tropical Queensland. The Queensland border has been called the Banana curtain and Brisbane has been called Banana city. Banana bender, in reference to a Queenslander, is first recorded in 1940 and is till commonly heard. 1964 D. Lockwood Up the Track: We are so close to Queensland that I think we should hop over the border. What do you say to a quick look at the banana-benders? 2011 Northern Star (Lismore) 11 July: Should the Matilda's [sic] have won last night or the Netball Diamonds see off New Zealand, Anna Bligh will doubtless claim it was due to the preponderance of banana benders in the squads or at the very least the result of a Gold Coast holiday during their formative years. EA - reinstate the player you banned. As a Queenslander (FYI for you Americans - Queensland is a state in Australia. Australia is an indepentant soverign country with our own culture) your decision insulted me and I want an apology!
Is there any way i could reset my account?
Progression is fun, and i know there is not going to be any atemps in inplementing any "Prestige" to encourage people to do everything all again. so, any way i could like, ask someone in EA to do a acount reset? (i have killed so many bots, my name is full of shame)
Spearhead
100 years ago, Lapland's legendary "Niagara of the Nordics" was destroyed to make way for a hydroelectric power plant - residents were given emergency instructions in case of a dam break Tuomas The flow of a waterfall located in Swedish Lapland decreased by 97 percent with the establishment of a power plant Spearhead is a map of Battlefield 2042, introduced in Escalation season on November 22nd, 2022. The map takes place somewhere in Sweden, featuring a large natural area and several automated "mega-factories" producing weapons and tools by a company named "Nordvik". "You may know Nordvik weapons. Perhaps you have one waiting in your locker right now. Their claims of being a neutral party are false. We've discovered that they are the primary artillery provider for the American offensive. Reconnaissance has narrowed down the location of the Nordvik factory to a remote Scandanavian [sic] mountain. But U.S. forces know we are coming. Dress for the cold. Once you pierce their defense, we will move in and support you." — Russian Briefing [Edit, EN only here please - CM]
Bring back 64-player Conquest & Close Quarters Conquest in BF2042
128-player Conquest is too chaotic：Too many players, vehicles, and overcrowded objectives ruin the classic Battlefield infantry/vehicle balance. Many players, including me, prefer the tactical, focused 64-player experience that BF2042 previously offered. Close Quarters Conquest was extremely popular：It provided fast-paced, intense infantry combat on smaller maps, which was a fan favorite and filled a key niche in the game. Removing it reduced variety and player engagement. Community demand is clear：Countless players have requested these modes return across forums, social media, and in-game feedback. Restoring them will improve player retention, satisfaction, and overall enjoyment. Please add 64-player Conquest and Close Quarters Conquest as permanent, official quick-play options (not just Portal or limited-time). This will make BF2042 feel complete and true to the Battlefield legacy.
Please add a map filter for official match maker
For more than 15 minutes now .. i need to cancel Conquest Stadium and Breakthrough Havana, as these are the worst COD maps in BF2042 and no one likes to play them .. Please add for at least a map filter and return any other BF2042 QoL features which were removed before CODField'6 launch !! People say as map borwser returns for BF6, add that to BF2042, too !! I cannot cancel the match maker for an hour and i will never join Stadium or Havana ..[BF2042][Official Conquest] Received a magazine as in BF Hardline
It was an awesome surprise to me: On Casipan Border Conquest, while reloading my M16A3 with PB Heavy Suppressor attached, my Blasco received a magazine as in BF Hardline. Look as someone was throwing a mag to me, i catched it and reloaded the weapon. Sadly this surprisingly event was too quick to take a screenshot. Great stuff. Please add (and please re-add) more QoL into BF2042 :)
Season Replay
I don't believe relegating 2042 to a maintenance mode is good for the franchise. In fact, by not making new content or updates and legit support, you're telling players (customers) that the content, features and support have a clock on them. The idea is newly release content after launch and the rewards of seasons and modes being unavailable when they end is to drive player numbers for fear of missing out. I get that. I would argue players deserve to play on their time after spending the same amount of money on a game someone with twice the time and frequency to play. Therefore, I feel its only right all who purchase the game, for full launch price or $7 (the price 2 weeks after my full purchase), have a right to earn the same rewards for the game as all the seasons we never got to play. I want the player cards, the skins, the tags and all the rest. When I bought the game my ISP was awful and online play was hardly an option. I could play solo/co-op with some issues but minimal compared to official servers and modes. Not only can we not claim any of the content others were able to receive under better circumstances or just time to actually play, but everything in the store is all the same price as it has always been which is a bit strange considering the value now without the seasons, without the promise of new content, without the game support, and without the player numbers or the cost of the game never going over 25% of the release price. I strongly feel if devs can give us FNB and weekend and weekly modes aside from the standards, a replay of all the seasons is warranted. 2042 still has a loyal base of players, many of which have played 6 and aren't fans. 6 feels like all our wants and desires were mostly ignored or the loudest and smallest group got what they wanted but that's another topic. How hard would it be to replay and cycle the seasons of 2042 for all the content be really? It can't hurt player numbers in 6, in fact it only helps. Not in real time as the seasons but in player enthusiasm towards the franchise. I cannot purchase or play BF6 knowing the game will eventually go to maintenance mode and have little to no support or new content. Using 2042 as a platform to test enthusiasm would be one of the smartest moves EA/Dice could make after restructuring of its teams. Lets start BF2042 season 1 before May please.EA banned me for nothing, ignored me for more than a month, closed my case
I’m honestly done with EA after this. I got banned from Battlefield 2042 for absolutely no reason. No cheats, no software, nothing. I literally left the game open in the lobby, went away, came back — banned. So I opened an appeal the next day. EA says they reply within 24–48 hours. Reality? More than ONE MONTH. I waited over a month for a response. And what did I get after all that waiting? No explanation No proof No details Just a generic copy-paste message And then they closed the case. Now here’s the worst part: Today is March 29 — and I STILL have no real answer. The case is closed, and no one has explained anything. Timeline: Feb 19 — banned Feb 20 — appeal opened March 18 — useless generic reply after MORE THAN A MONTH March 29 — still nothing, case closed So basically: Ban a legit player Ignore him for more than a month Send a useless reply Close the case Refuse to explain anything How is this acceptable? If your anti-cheat actually works, show proof. If you made a mistake, fix it. But this? This just looks like a broken system and support that doesn’t care. I don’t even care about the game anymore at this point. I just want people to see how bad this experience was. Anyone else had something like this happen with EA? [CM - Edit for formatting]Just stop
We don't care about Control, Frontlines or even Rush though its the most tolerable. Just stop with the weekend, weekly or FNB modes nobody gives a **bleep** about. Breakthrough and Conquest (though I hate). That's it. Stop taking players from useless modes away from the ones we play and making it impossible in some regions to even get a match started with minimum players by dispersing what we have even more. Don't even get me started on matchmaking and splitting regions into multiple quarter filled servers instead of fewer fuller ones. That's all. Needed to vent. Thumbs up or like or whatever so EA pays a tiny bit of attention. No wonder they're "restructuring".Breakthrough Chaos... Was good. Latest adaptation, No.
First let me say I can play well with whatever circumstances there are to deal with but I play with a lot of people who party with me for the assists I make with my squad and team. I play 96% breakthrough and make moderate kills, go suicidal to revive my squad and place t-ugs, insertion beacon and spawn beacons down as often as possible where most crucial as a Recon so my team can use the minimap. I play point guard and don't need a triple double to be happy, just assists. Breakthrough chaos has been awesome in the past with faster move speeds, some occasionally vehicle allowances per map, faster respawn times and so on. This newest adaptation however nerfs recon specialists massively. No proxy sensors, no T-ugs. Recon is left with spotting actively with Casper drone and Paik also active emg scanner which is minimal and puts Paik on the enemies minimap. Blasco's insertion beacon can be used but is paired well with a t-ugs in near vicinity for passive assists when kills are made by team within the disruption area. Every class has a clear and obvious ability that used right benefits the entire team, not just squad or themselves (talking to you medics who sniper with ammo packs all for yourself). Recon, aside from the sniper stability which is easily worked around by binding breath with aim down sight, is effective by providing the team with a populated minimap and has sensors specifically for this. I don't care for kills, or at least having the most. I are about supporting my usual party members or making things better for newer/non friend players while i play point guard and spot the map and drop spawn beacons where most effective while i get some kills and revives along the way. I cannot do this nearly as effectively especially at such fast paced movement and action while most still have all their abilities/gadgets. I can adapt if this was a permanent change but I see no reason why those who play a true recon has to be so limited while Rams zoom around blowing up half the sector before most can even respawn or even know what happened. If you're gonna nerf spotting gadgets and expect teams to play balanced on some maps with limited vehicle choices as defenders/attackers in first sector of maps, maybe eliminate vehicles as well. Or eliminate explosives or rockets for assault and limit to engineer. Do something more balanced. EA, Dice, Whoever, please take everything into account when a modified mode is made. I currently cant play a normal breakthrough where I am best assisting the team because everyone is on chaos who are perfectly happy as sniping medics and crawfords miniguns everywhere and 10 dozen Sundances and her stupid scatter grenades which if anything needs to be nerfed as all hell in the game.BF2042 Summary
BF2042 will go down as my least favorite Battlefield game. Despite that, I still had fun with it. The maps were cool and interesting (climate change theme, ship demolition, rockets...) but they lacked the war ambiance. Having Conquest/Rush of Ages in Portal was an awesome revisit to past games. Unlike BF1 and BFV, this one will be permanently uninstalled from my console. Good bye BF2042 and hello BF6!
You Come Here Often ?
Hello you filthy animals. starting to see the same bunch of killers on my tours of 2042. still think 2042 has got the best platform for carnage potential, and ill slide into my warchief way before i **bleep** a load up for bf6 arcade fest. anyway.. just a post for fellow diehards to state their call sign and usual l server . maybe ill link up in game for some wholesome gang **bleep**. sorry if my cockpit smells of weed. D3LBOYOBring Back Small Conquest 64 Mode
Hello EA and Battlefield team, I would like to request the return of the Small Conquest 64 mode in Battlefield 2042. It was one of the best modes for players who prefer faster matches, more infantry-focused combat, and less vehicle dominance. The pacing felt better and the maps worked great in a smaller scale format. Many players enjoyed this mode, and bringing it back (even as a permanent or rotating option) would be amazing for the community. Please consider adding Small Conquest 64 back to the official playlist. Thank you.Heartbeat sound when downed - a way to remove it?
I know it’s an irrational idea but hearing the heartbeat sound makes me extremely anxious and i couldn’t find any way to remove it. I really want to play the game but I had to uninstall it and request a refund due to just that noise. Is there a way to modify the sound file so it’s silent instead? Thank you to anyone who replies in advance.
