Is it possible to toggle the Modify Weapon Attachment key instead of holding it?
Is it possible to toggle the Modify Weapon Attachment key (Plus Menu) instead of holding it? I'm on PC and it's T. I find it very awkward that this button must be held in order to change weapon attachments. It is possible to toggle it like click to open and click to close instead of holding it all the time? Thank you BTW I just bought the game and it seems that the game is relatively dead... [Edit: Formatting amended for one paragraph - ElliotLH]
A Request to EA from Me, a BF2042 Streaming Fan
The Battlefield series has had periods in the past where the player base shrank due to bugs, cheaters, and terrible additions, but BF 2042 has seen the worst decline in player numbers compared to any previous title in the series. I, too, experienced that bizarre period right after launch when there were only three-digit numbers of online players on Steam, and I kept playing this game until the release of BF 6. During that time, I encountered various streamers—I wonder if EA could at least send those streamers a word of thanks. I play in Japan, and all the streamers I came across were Japanese; they really seemed to be having a great time playing. Occasionally, a viewer would comment, “I was debating whether to buy BF 2042, but seeing you enjoy it so much made me want to give it a try! I’m buying it!” Of course, the EA team worked hard, but could you please send even just a few words of thanks to these streamers and content creators—who, unlike some others, continued to stream and upload videos while genuinely enjoying this BF2042 series that the current influencers, who gained popularity from past entries, had all but thrown in the trash? As a viewer who loves watching BF2042 streams, this is my request to EA.
Canary Deployment for Game Updates
Objective Reduce the risk of major regressions reaching the entire player population simultaneously. Large updates introduce changes across: Rendering Networking Maps UI Weapons Physics Backend Progression Audio A problem that escapes internal QA can therefore affect a very large population. Proposed release methodology Where platform infrastructure allows it, deployment could follow stages. Stage 1 Internal QA ↓ Stage 2 Automated test environments ↓ Stage 3 Limited production rollout / controlled cohort ↓ Stage 4 Telemetry validation ↓ Stage 5 Broader deployment ↓ Stage 6 Full deployment The implementation would obviously depend on platform certification and release constraints.Crash-Free Session Metrics
A more useful stability metric than raw crash count could be: Crash-Free Sessions Percentage of gameplay sessions completed without a crash This could be segmented by: Platform Hardware Map Mode Driver Game version Session duration Example Build A: Crash-free sessions: 99.4% Build B: Crash-free sessions: 98.7% Even if average FPS improved, the regression should immediately be investigated.
Bring back 64 conquest pls...
seriously i dont understand the decision, people want to play the mode they want WITH HOWEVER MANY PEOPLE THEY WANT Merging them does not help, it just annoys the player base i have literally seen both sides asking for 64 conquest AND 128 conquest to be separated so please just do it, i dont even see how it could take that much effort when it was previously done so
Please bring back Conquest 64
The merging of the game modes was definetly a "Controversial" change I really want to think this change was not mean to be to drive people away from Battlefield 2042, but that is definetly what actually happend. People who play 128 dont want to play 64 and vise-versa. Please bring back Conquest 64, i played battlefield 6 and i didn´t like it, please let me play on 2042 since conquest 64 was everything i played. i know that this is kind of an old man yelling at a cloud, but im very worried about this matter.
BF2042
BF2042 offers a truly wonderful experience and fantastic content! While I do play a bit of BF6, the experience in BF2042 is far more exciting and enjoyable. Even though active development has officially ended, you can see that the player base is actually growing again recently! You can see lobbies staying full for long periods, especially in Portal mode! I believe this is proof that the game delivers a fantastic, exciting experience! That’s why I’d really appreciate it if you considered things like weapon balancing seasons, paid skins, or—if possible—even new maps! Simply put, I’d love to see updates for small maps continue in BF6, while BF2042 gets updates focused on large-scale maps! Instead of releasing a brand-new BF title, I’d prefer to see continued updates for these two games that highlight the unique characteristics of different eras! Unless there’s a massive leap in graphics technology coming, I don't think a new game is necessary! BF2042 is definitely being re-evaluated! The times have finally caught up to it! I hope development continues with community feedback in mind—like adding UI improvements to BF2042! One request: it would be great if YouTubers and others could easily host custom matches! Something a bit more detailed regarding squad composition—separate from the standard Portal settings—would be nice. Features like a Commander mode or voice chat options (similar to *Delta Force*) would also be fantastic! It would be a huge waste not to keep updating BF2042! I have a feeling the player base is going to keep growing. If possible, I’d love to see updates that add various new items! Thank you for creating BF2042! I absolutely love BF2042! ♡✌
DICE !!!! Separate 128 player and 64 player mode !!!!
Please consider separating the 64-player and 128-player Conquest playlists again in Battlefield 2042. Ever since the playlists were merged, many players have lost the ability to consistently play the experience they actually enjoy. Some players prefer the large-scale chaos and epic battles of 128 players, while others prefer the more tactical and focused gameplay of 64 players. Both experiences have their own unique identity, and forcing them into a single playlist reduces player choice and overall enjoyment. Battlefield has always been about offering different ways to play, and giving players the freedom to choose between 64 and 128-player modes would greatly improve the experience. With Battlefield 6 on the horizon, please don't forget the dedicated Battlefield 2042 community that still actively plays and supports the game. Bringing back separate playlists for 64 and 128 players would be a highly appreciated quality-of-life change. Thank you, DICE, for continuing to support Battlefield 2042.
Slow Leveling Weapons and Dead Lobbies
I have been trying to level up some weapons and now that lobbies are dead I was wondering if Dice would change the game play, such as allowing in solo/co-op modes to level weapons, so that faithful players like myself would be able to continue our progression in game. I bought Battlefield 6 and I played all the way to season 2 unfortunately the game play is not the same and I feel 2042 has better skins as well. But that's just my personal opinion.How to fix: The problem of bots counting in the leaderboards
Hello again, Today i am here to talk to you about the problems that brings allowing the bots to count for the leaderboard. For those who are not aware how bad it is, here is the battletracker leaderboard Leaderboard -kills The numer one player has over 6 million bot kills and that placed him in the number one position worldwide, Even though i am aware that the people who care about their position on the leaderboards are not a mayority, it is still important to have a well regulated game so people who hate fairness dont have the tools to exploit the bots to get a high position on the leaderboards So now, i am going to explain how to fix this conondrum But first i have to explain the current XP sytems employed on Battlefield 2042 Full - No restrictions in any way (Killing bots in oficial matchaking counts for T1 by example) Moderate - Progess up to 360 kills, regardless of if you kill players or bots, ribbons on. Restricted- Up to 300 xp per minute. no ribbons or gun progression at all. That whole thing, kind of sucks, and dont go around thinking "Oh well just put restricted so people wont exploit bots to get into the leaderboards", and well, that does work, but people still exploited restricted XP servers, as seen on the report that me, myself exposed it nine months ago Restricted xp is used for xp exploiting Bots giving any kind of progession has to go, i know this could sound as an extremely hot or wrong take but let me explain what im trying to suggest. Instead of having the previous xp systems; Full, Moderate and Restricted, i offer: For the official matchmaking (What it was Full): Bots dont give xp or weapon progress but people can get T1 killing actual players and Recieve ribbons, kills count for the leaderboards. For portal games, Implement a detection system that triggers once the portal server reach half its capacity for the ribbons to be activated, this check could be made on the pre-game lobby, But, players can still get T1 gun progression as long they kill players, For Portal games that use the custom setting, yeah, that is restricted, not even like the previous Restricted that gives you 300 xp per minute, this one will not give you any xp nor progression, Servers with a custom logic are only for the love of the game, since, it was exploited in the past. If EA implement this, The leaderboars will restore their integrity, the current one just put in the number one the person who get the best method to exploit the sytem. Thanks for reading ill be reading your comments, love you byePortal cross-over feature suggestion
Having the option to have weapons and vehicles from different eras would be a breeding ground for creative experiences (Especially because vehicles from different eras are fun, but they end up feeling off when people are used to the core mechanics from BF2042) Thanks for the update and the new additions But portal and hazard zone are also part of the game and need to have some kind of support. i know you guys are planing on releasing a new battlefield each year from now on but you have to take care of your fan-base. happy players are more likely going to spend money on a product that they feel is good. please let us look at portal and say "damm thats cool". xoxoPlease fix your game
Since day one the game has been a disapointment, Starting with the introduction of the recicled operators from the abandoned battle royale development (The whole project should have been scratched and started from zero), to the endless bugs plaging not only the oficial modes, but the portal experiences as well. At least I am not expecting you to deliver what you promissed with the trailers and the overall expectations of a (in-brand) battlefield game, what i am expecting is the bare minimum, Make efforts to make sure that the content you deliver has the least ammount of bugs as possible, the whole admin tools on portal are depending on if the game feels like working at that time. i like this game (Thats probably the stockholm syndrom talking) and i will probably keep playing it, so please, do not abandon the people that does not abandon you.Worst Game Ever Made
Wow EA, could your standards be any lower? I went way over what I normally play this week just to collect some numbers. I played 70 matches this week. I won 2 of those matches. If it isn't other players who either cheat or putting level 500+ with level 90, which seems completely fair, I am losing or can't play because on console this game is nothing but glitches. The AI regularly spawns 5-7 enemies on top of me. When I put my crosshairs on an enemy and unload 7-10 rounds into him I seemingly hit nothing. EA is one of the most corrupt companies that has ever existed and I have half a mind to file a fraud report with the FBI for this. I paid money to play a game casually and I am thrown in with people who have done nothing but play BF6 24/7 since it was released. EA did that intentionally which defrauded me of my money. Then there are the glitches. Half of the matches I try to enter I don't know which class or weapon to pick because instead of showing me the map I get an entire screen of background camouflage. The AI characters regularly spawn right on top of me, throw tons of smoke grenades and then proceed to pick off me and my team through the smoke. The AI can see me through the smoke, but I can't see them. If I do get away the AI just shoots me through a wall. I will try to pick the proper weapon for the game I am joining and the game just won't give me the gun or load out I pick. It chooses one of my previous load outs to randomly give me. If all this wasn't bad enough I play every match with people who have wall hacks and aim bots and EA could not care less. Then, I try to post on forums about my problems and every one of my posts has been removed because apparently we are not allowed to speak poorly of EA. The EA company and its workers are our gods if you all were not aware. When I am in matches I see many players with racist character names and once again, EA does nothing. EA doesn't care. EA is a company that wants to fleece all of us for as much money as it can get. Sadly I bought this game, but I will never buy another EA title again. If all of you are smart you will never purchase from EA again either. This is the first game I have ever played that is so impossible and has taken enough time from me that I can never get back that I actually, for the first time in my life, want to delete myself. Good job EA. You are a company of real winners. I am going to go and actually do something with my time that is worth while because playing an EA game is certainly not.
Infantry Conquest
Why? (rant incoming) I get the appeal of no vehicles but another mode for the slowest most boring mode in the entire game is baffling. Breakthrough Chaos, though not as good as Breakthrough Mayhem, gives a unique and fast paced element . If you're gonna do an infantry only conquest mode then just do the smallest maps. Look how popular Redacted only Conquest modes in portal are. What a waste of time. It doesn't have a minimum player start count from what I've seen and the way matchmaking is in BF, I can see 5 matches in a region or more going with less than 10 players vs bots most the time. How is this good for the player experience, not the newer ones, but us who've played the game for years and stuck around despite its flaws? I am a Breakthrough player all day but once in a while go conquest when Break is slow. I expect to find matches full of players and I doubt we will see much of that this week. Regular conquest will likely be more popular which is fair but many still deal with a blackscreen match issue for conquest or breakthrough or both but oddly the weekly rotational modes don't seem to be effected. Enough with the rotation of modes and have a poll each week, going the whole week for players to vote and decide the following weeks special mode. DICE might actually learn something about what players want this way.
Get rid of the bots
The bots aren't helpful at all and are distracting when trying to distinguish them from real players in chaotic situations. Every time I start shooting at a bot not knowing it's one, I get melted by a real player. I'd rather have a game of 10 vs 10 of real players instead of filled with bots. Not to mention, they're obviously easier to kill and can throw a whole game off.
