With all the throwback with the portal announcement I want to throw in something that I personally want to see come back.. swearing. Yes swearing. I miss Battlefield 4's soldiers cursing and having the chat call me names for wrecking them with a shotgun. Include a profanity filter for the snowflakes that don't want to read / hear the grown up words, but for the love of God stop with the censoring like the garbage that was BFV. And how awesome would it be for this Battlefield to have proximity voice chat where the enemy team can hear you as well as other players that aren't in your squad!!!

Yes because after a very long and exhausting day on the J O B all I wanna hear is either: - mouthbreathers- Ppl´s mic´s that seems to be tied together with plastic-straws, empty crisp-bags & chewing-gum by MacGuyver himself- 6 y.o. kids screaming in a high pitch voice even Michael Jackson would return from the dead and tell them to relax.- A highly enjoyable potpourri of different european lingo´s on how they will make love to my mother.- That one dude that actually gives out decent call-outs.- Have you noticed how many ppl actually listen to horrible music (and I swear it is always either French Hip Hop or Eminem) while gaming. Like: How are you supposed to hear anything in-game actually?

@Verixl Not wanting to hear profanity has nothing to do with being a "grown up" or "snowflake." Personally, I just don't care to hear it, and I don't need that in order to enjoy a game. I do realize that some people may want it, so having a profanity filter option would satisfy everyone. Options are always good for the consumer.

Hear !Wanted to give you more than 1 XP but can't... :o)Especially the proximity chat would be absolutely fantastic !As that would also enable like chatting in larger group when running together (aka now our squad size is also reduced just a measly 4 soldiers in BF2042, and not like 5 or 8 or...)Or when jumping into a vehicle and we are not all in the same squad.DICE please, we need proximity chat !(while maintaining the option to mute a screamer... :o)

@Verixl The profanity filter is a really weird thing in BF. You should be able to toggle it on or off.

Proximity VOIP is a really neat thing. My first real experience with it was in Hunt: Showdown. It was really cool and it was a shame that 3rd party VOIP was used to circumvent the feature.

The only drawback I see to it in BF is that technically different factions speak different languages and probably couldn't or shouldn't understand each other. I am not sure it fits BF as well as it fits in a game like Hunt.

Yes because after a very long and exhausting day on the J O B all I wanna hear is either:
- mouthbreathers
- Ppl´s mic´s that seems to be tied together with plastic-straws, empty crisp-bags & chewing-gum by MacGuyver himself
- 6 y.o. kids screaming in a high pitch voice even Michael Jackson would return from the dead and tell them to relax.
- A highly enjoyable potpourri of different european lingo´s on how they will make love to my mother.
- That one dude that actually gives out decent call-outs.
- Have you noticed how many ppl actually listen to horrible music (and I swear it is always either French Hip Hop or Eminem) while gaming. Like: How are you supposed to hear anything in-game actually?

Yes exactly @CloudMcRip ,
For all the many good reasons mentioned above, then typically on PlayStation we use the console party chat instead !
(I could though add many genres to the 'unwanted music' list there above... :o)
But the party chat is not convenient for the proximity chat like when suddenly in a vehicle with somebody new. Think here it would be really helpful and also easy just to drop the cursor down to decide if you want to mute such person or not, in case the mike is on with high undesirable noise... Like we also could in the past with squad members.

@DeeCay_DK_81 All of the things you said, and more--and let me add the jocks who constantly belittle players who aren't as skilled as they are.

At the end of the day, it's a GAME! If you want to play with pros, exclusively, befriend more pros and party-up on pro servers--but please don't beat up on the 15YO kid who just got his first XBox for Christmas and is still learning the ropes. Instead, you could probably become someone's hero--and make a lifelong gaming buddy (I have quite a few)--by helping them to learn and improve.

But I digress.

It has gotten to a point where "mute all" is one of my favorite settings in MP games. I have very little tolerance for people with poor microphone etiquette, so they immediately get muted--or I just back out of the lobby, altogether, and find a new one. Private party chat is much preferred.

Until some gamers grow to be more respectful, united and helpful to one another, that's how it's going to stay, for me.

@DeeCay_DK_81Most of this is a consequence of playing on consoles. You get what you pay for to some degree in this regard. I played Madden on console and everything you said is pretty accurate.

However, In my 15+ years of playing BF games these are not issues on PC.

Yep, this. Nearly all the reasons why I rarely use a headset myself when playing solo.

We can also add a few more classics to that list, like…
The teenager player with a headset on with the mike open. His mother coming and nagging all the time while he is shouting all kind of nasty things back at her. Especially as he gets recked nonstop in the game at the same time.

Same goes for the young adult father and husband, with a baby crying in the background and he argues with his wife about all kind of things, while still considering the gaming more important than his real life and family apparently…

And then the ol’timer who stopped caring much for anything many years ago. So the wireless headset has the mike open. You hear the beers being popped open and gargled down with regular intervals. Then one kind of bodily sounds, and then other kind of bodily sounds…. And if his prostate still permits, he will wait to go peeing when the game round is over. If not, you hear him rush out to the little room, midgame, still wearing his wireless headset. Thank god it sounds like he is still aiming fairly precise, based on the splaishing of urine into the toilet. Then a few more bodily sounds, and he comes back live into the game 10 secs later…
The online Battlefield world is truly very insightful and amazing in all its facets! 😃
