Forum Discussion
After constructive criticism got no reply and even a detailed proposal to bring the most requested feature (persistent servers and a server browser) with only negligible effort on your end fell on deaf ears what else do you expect from frustrated fans that you left hanging without any update? Serious question.
Hmmm....
After many months of having a game that doesn't work properly?
After many months asking for a server browser?
After many months playing half finished maps?
After many months shooting marshmallows and feathers?
After many months wondering if your system( pc/console) is good enough?
After many months waiting for a fix that looks like fixing the last fix?
After many months kept in de dark?...yes then people like me and others may throw some Passive aggressive comments.
Why?...we all are Battlefield fans..some longer then others, but we fell in love with this franchise.
This game doesn't feel like a BF game for me....it can be...but it already takes too long.
Exposure was a step in the right direction, but with all the stuff missing is hard to finish a round,
All in all we just wanna play and have some info and answers on a weekly basis maybe.

- Mackstan714 years agoSeasoned Ace@X-Sunslayer-X Sorry Dad 😉
- X-Sunslayer-X4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Mackstan71 you are forgiven my child be at peace
- frekwalda14 years agoSeasoned Ace@Mackstan71 What is frustrating is that i can not even get in a AOW game as being in Northern Canada and in a low player area since Dec 2021. We need a answer on server browser not cosmetic fixes. Even when i bring this up in the update post i get banned for a day as it is not in line with the forum post. The biggest issue for this game is not having a server browser and the majority of gamers who can not play this game is the reason for low player count.

@frekwalda1I feel you pain, my fellow gamer. You and many others are a good reason that this MM system does not work, and thats a fact. Not being able to play from last Dec in just a big no no, and they have to realize that. The silence on this Server Browser subject is totaly unacceptable and unbelievable. You and many others payed for this game, so it has to be your given right to play what and where you want..even in a low player area. This problem need to be fixed and all we hear is [ insert cricket sound here ]. Like you said..The player count is low...Also the trust is low to none. They need to do a big overhaul to gain that back..how long can they ignore this..again unacceptable.
I hope the day will come and that you...me....and many others can play this game like we supose to do. - Chief2GFD4 years agoSeasoned Ace
@frekwalda1If I turn crossplay off, I never find a game either. And I'm on East coast of US. I feel your pain.

We're going to keep posting there until we've got it, and we need the solid examples like yours to push harder.
- LlamaWithKatana4 years agoSeasoned Ace@0_Katsui or just get banned because you are not helping enough and being toxic and derailing.
- Kona_uk4 years agoSeasoned Ace
@LlamaWithKatana You could code the perfect game and EA will ruin it just to save sales on the rubbish they churn out with fake promises after.
Do not defend EA they have no interest in what you think they see you as something they stepped in.
Anthem shows everything EA is and it's not pro consumer.
- LlamaWithKatana4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Kona_uk never even tried to defend ea. And EA folks could do have more interactions. Not only "stay civil or ban" things. Would be much appreciated.
- Kona_uk4 years agoSeasoned Ace
@LlamaWithKatanaEA will never reply as being shown as a liar does not look good.
Stratford on here who tries to speak for dice/ea is just so far down the pecking order the company fridge has as much say as what goes on.
No disrespect to stratford or whatever the name is but every question posted they have no positive reply unless to try to big up EA/DICE = liars for short.
How far dice has fallen is just staggering that they are now known as a developer not to trust. You put blue guns or red guns over gameplay you get rubbish like 2042.
Next battlefield game will be pay to win as sales are going to be awful so EA/DICE will go after the weak. - LlamaWithKatana4 years agoSeasoned Ace
Another day with no comms. Though they said they'll try to be more active. That didn't age well quite fast.

Replying to these forums is clearly not in their job scope.
At this point, there is really nothing to say. The development for this game is over. We are not getting more than 2 map remakes, and those were done months ago. All new development on this game has been stopped. We will see the rest of the original S1 content released in 3 more batches, stretched thin to make 300 Battle Pass rewards, 3 new maps, and 3 more Specialists, a few more weapons and vehicles, and that is it.
In two weeks we will be 38 weeks since launch with 38 weeks left of game support (3x seasons x12 weeks +2 more in S1). The halfway point. They are not going to commit an ounce of extra resources into this game with only 50% of its lifecycle left.
They will keep the skeleton crew together for content deployment, bug fixes, and a few balancing tweaks but that's it. The same goes for the CMs, and that has clearly been evident since December. They went on "holiday" and never came back. - Straatford874 years ago

On some days we simply might have nothing to say. Doesn't mean we are not reading here though. Also, this thread seems to go quite off-topic and if there are dedicated questions around a subject they should probably have their own topic (if they don't already).

It genuinely amazes me, that after 8 weeks of season and the game being 8 months old, they are still not acnowledging the fact that their players know better what is OP and what isn't. The BSV-M, a gun that has been released 8 weeks ago and basically turrned this game into "you either play it, or you die", helicopters that are clearly way too broken to even be let into the game and just general lack of balance, where the whole game just goes down to 1 tactic that is used by everyone, and if you refuse to do so, then you basically can't do anything.
It amazes me that in 5 years, the company has come from making one of the most iconinc FPS games, to making a game where they refuse to even listen to the community because "they know better".Our August updates will have balance changes for weapons and helicopters. We'll check in with full details via the Update Notes before its release!

Not everyone has time to check through oodles of info on 4 platforms. Pick one and say "all feedback is here". This seems like a good place for "Official" feedback.
We have picked those platforms. It's forums, Reddit, Twitter and Discord. There is no "official" feedback. Feedback is feedback, we don't want to tell you, "hey, you didn't post on forums", so we don't value your opinion. I understand you might not agree with that, but at least now you know our approach.
- RMEChief4 years agoLegend@Straatford87 I gave you XP!
The oddest part is the lack of responses to the biggest threads in this forum, on Twitter, on Reddit, etc in regards to matchmaking and Server Browser. Answering that one question would go a long way to quelling some of the angst. So Server Browser is being considered, is in the works, or is not being considered? - Psubond4 years agoLegend

So Server Browser is being considered, is in the works, or is not being considered?i would like to know as well. that is a burning question here. i can't speak for others but if the answer is no we aren't getting one just say so. the dodging/avoiding/refusing to answer is WAY worse than the answer no matter what it is.
optional: if the answer is no though maybe tell us why (money, resources etc)

@PsubondSigned an NDA, can't disclose that there is no new development.post was meant for @Straatford87
- X-Sunslayer-X4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Adamonic i think the main issue is no matter what DICE will say on this issue parts of the community will dislike it. by saying nothing everyone is just annoyed and that most likely scores higher with them

Hey Straatford. Stop forcing us to play REDSEC and Gauntlet to complete our battlepasses on Battlefield 6.
Remember how you promised a return? You've gone straight call of duty and completely abandoned your community.
Why am I posting on this old 2042 post? Because you guys are a complete ghosttown and don't communicate with your community at all in Battlefield 6. There's no place else to put stuff but on these old posts that are still up in completely different games. We have absolutely zero outlets to communicate with you guys what we actually want in the game.
You keep saying you're getting mixed messages. Look at the Steam forums, look at reddit, it's just an endless stream of "Why doesn't Dice do this?" And its the exact same broken record all day every day of people asking the exact same questions. "Why doesn't dice do this? Why are we not getting what we want?" And then you turn around and do stuff that absolutely nobody asked for. If you want answers, make yourselves open to suggestions.
Give us the game that we paid for. The game that you promised to give us. Stop turning the game into Call of Duty. You're ruining your franchise, and I'm pretty sure this is the end for the old OG Battlefield Veterans. You've failed all of us. Lied to all of us. And we are completely in the dark with no outlets as to communication. And you're trying to force us to play some game that you want us to play and not play the game that we paid for.
We are getting really sick of giving you money for you to completely ignore all of your old fans.
So here I am posting on some old BF2042 post because some things just never seem to change.
Return to Battlefield... What a joke!
