Hi everyone,I would really like to play Hazard Zone more often, because I enjoyed it most of the times yet, even when I only play with random groups.But one thing is really frustrating right now, which I would like to share with you and ask for your experience / opinion:It is so hard to find a game! Even in the evenings (I am from Europe) - it often takes 20 + minutes or sometimes even more, to finally join a game with a full squad. In this moment I am in the queue for 30 minutes, brought back to the menu twice and still couldn't find a squad.Is the game mode completely deserted and noone is playing, which is the reason that there are no rounds to join?Just wanted to share this with you, because I think that's quite a sad fact for a AAA game and I would really like to play it more often.Best regards,JerseyNBG

because it is not what most BF players want to play.same with firestorm, locking these "exerimental" modes behind a 60€ paywall will never work because, say it with me, players who play F2P games will not dish out the money for something they might not want.....EA clearly needs to look at more excel sheets until it gets trough their skulls

BF players don’t come to Battlefield to experience COD, Fortnite, Apex Legends, or some BR wanna be.Most come for the gritty, every day solder, iconic BF experience and to get away from of the happy go lucky, 12 year old fantasy vibe those games put off. As much as today’s execs at EA and DICe hate all that’s iconic and unique about the Battlefield franchise, the epic failures of Firestorm BR and now Hazard Zone BR will hopefully be a wake up call. But I doubt it.

@JerseyNBG Played a single game and hated it. Theres zero excitement. Feels unfinished.

@JerseyNBG I played 1 round in hazard zone… its boring, the maps are ugly and bad designed so that makes it even more boring… i cannot understand why somebody would want to play this game mode. I just don’t get it. And i feel truly sorry for the person who came up with this cause by now it should be clear to him that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and maybe it would be better for everybody that he looks for another job.

@JerseyNBG I haven't played a single game, I said before launch that this modeShould at least be free It was the biggest stupid thing they did, maybe they revert that, would be a little better even for the game in general

I also wondered why there were so few threads about this game mode.
It does not seem very popular.

@PsychopskiUnfortunately, they will probably just dial up the 'hero-shooter' theme in the next title even further to increase sales, instead of making BF an old-school BF-game (because the player-base is wrong and they are right of course...).

Funny how they marketed the game as a BF-game and gave us 'something else instead', best sales tactics ever (just take the money and run like BFV?)...

@JerseyNBG I've never played a single round in Hazard Zone and i'm not interested playing either. I bought battlefield, so i want to play battlefield and not some different game

Hey guys,
Thanks for your feedback and different opinions - really interesting to see! Just to answer some of you:
@lookcr I think it would be a good idea to make it F2P, just like Warzone (as far as I know, never played it before) - to attract a lot more players and make it more popular.
@Buzzfunk Yea, it does seem to be unfinished, but so does the rest of the game as well, right?
@Aim2212 I respect your point completely. I was just saying that I would like to try a game mode when a developer actually made the decision to put it into a game. Then it is quite frustrating when you cannot even find a game some weeks after the release.
@cornybbq2 I mean... the maps are the same as in All-Out Warfare. To be honest, I would like to play it because there are a lot of assignments etc. connected to this mode (such as: one extraction with a squad without a single death etc.) - and I am a person who wants to unlock all the assignments in a game, I know I will put a lot of time in. And I'm still convinced that BF 2042 will be such a game within the next months.
Wish you all the best.
Kind regards,
JerseyNBG

Always find a game Xbox Series X crossplay on, it's pretty much all I play never had issues. Does take 1-3 minutes to get into a game from waiting for players screen.
