The #1 problem with BATTLEFIELD player base

 I have noticed a major problem with battlefield and it full spectrum of different types of players. With all due respect to everyone that reads this post, I feel I have to state that the truth hurts for some so this is gonna hurt. Also I state that this is only my opinion. 

   The title of this franchise is "BATTLEFIELD" is it not. If the title of the game I am playing is called BATTLEFIELD then why the he'll do I see so many people on the side of the map camping, lying on there stomach, not participating on conquest. If the games called BATTLEFIELD then why isn't everyone on the field battling. I feel since it's called BATTLEFIELD then I would expect the developers to kick anyone out of matches that are lying down and not doing anything. As far as I can tell, I didn't buy a game called "FIELD OF *". I think if you developers don't make the next battlefield where it kicks people who aren't participating in an objective ever so often on conquest, then you don't deserve to call your game "BATTLEFIELD". You might as well call your franchise "* FIELD". I AM SAYING THIS WITH ALL DUE RESPECT BECAUSE I LOVE THE BATTLEFIELD FRANCHISE AND CARE ENOUGH TO GIVE MY FEEDBACK WHICH I NEVER DO FOR ANYONE. Nothing is more soul crushing debilitating than to be on flags and participating in capturing flags or defending them and all of a sudden I get recked from a tank that I can't reach that is in an enemy spawn. That is ridiculous. I can be about to engage with another squad on the way to my next flag and the instant I pull the trigger to try to kill the opposing squad, I all of a sudden get hit by a sniper bullet from a person that isn't even anywhere close to a flag and is all the way on the edge of the map. Now I have 10 to 20 health points and all of a sudden I have to kill 1 to 4 or more other people. This is totally *. Why do the ones that care about winning have to deal with the people that not only don't Care about winning but also don't even care to participate in capping or defending. They are also Taking up space on there team from someone who could actually be trying to win. I hate playing against these types of players because number 1- they are annoying to have to dodge while playing against good players. Number 2- if you are winning against them, they ruin the experience for you because all they do is snipe. Number 3- they let there own teammates down by not participating and now there teamares have to pick up there slack, and on top of that, they don't even care that they are letting the whole team down. I didn't buy the game to get put on a team with 12 snipers that staying the spawn while I get surrounded by every opposing angle that has a line of sight on my pushing position. I am tired of this. I love battlefield and it kills me that yall let people do this on the game. CAN YALL PLEASE MAKE A VERRY SIMPLE MATCHMAKING ALGORITHEM THAT GOES BUY OBJECTIVE SCORE AND SEPERATES CAMPERS FROM OBJECTIVE PLAYERS. THATS ALL YALL HAVE TO DO, TEST A BUNCH OF GAMES AND FIND A GOOD AVERAGE OBJECTIVE PLAYER SCORE AND SEPERATE THE LOBBIES YOU GET JOINED TO FROM QUICK SEARCH BY THE BASE SCORE YALL DETERMINE.if your average objective score isn't as high as the base score, you get put with the campers and if it's the score ore higher, you get put with people that actually care about the game there investing there time in.YOU WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE SERVER BROWSER BUT MAKE QUICK SEARCH ITS OWN SERVER CATAGORY SECTION WHERE IT SEPERATES OBJECTIVE PLAYERS FROM CAMPERS that way you could still participate with campers if you want to take a break from the more seriousgames if you want. AND ALSO, IF SOMEONE HITS QUICK SEARCH AnD SAY THEY LIVE IN ALABAMA, THE QUICK SEARCH SHOULD NEVER EVER CONNECT THEM TO CALIFORNIA. WHY THE HELL WOULD I EVER IN A MILION YEARS WANT TO HAVE A 88ms. Latency. That should never ever happen unless the game has been searching for over a minute. If yall will change these few simple things and clearly let people know it. You will be one step closer in the gaming industry on what works and what don't because I've never seen any company implement this mechanic. Thanks for reading. And thank you developers for making my favorite franchise by far. It blows kiddy cod out of the water.

  • @fcky316urKD For my part, EA just needs to lower the XP points on the kill and increase them on the missions/objectives and the teamplay.

    @fcky316urKD In former battlefield games I switched roles depending on the game progress and what I wanted to play. Anti-tank, sniper, infantry, tank, anti air, etc. There was more reward for supporting the team (I just say SOFLAM). I think this was also because many people did the same in order to win the round.

    In BF2042 I mainly do the weekly missions and some weapons attachment grinding nowadays. I really don‘t care any more if my team looses or wins. This is because of the state of the game for me (TTK, de-sinc, double damage packages, low reward for team play compared to kills, etc.).. If a new weapon is introduced it is always OP - so everybody plays it before it get nerfed into oblivion. This also makes the game quite one-sided. Basic game mechanics are broken (spawns, helis & anti air, some tanks, map lay-outs,..). Everything in BF2042 seems to be aimed at the lone-Wolf, squirrel-on-redbull player… so this is what you get in the game experience.

    DICE and EA lost many fans of the franchise because of this. If they gained more people, who like the „new“ BF experience I don‘t know but I doubt it.

    After finally resolving to take eye damage to read the OP, I agree with the sentiment.

    There is nothing more frustrating in Battlefield games than to be trying to win while the others in your team as having "fun" not contributing.

    This is what makes playing with friends etc have such a massive impact to the gameplay.

    Like the new AR. Everyone is using that. I don't feel like it OP though 

  • Please no. Battlefield is a sandbox game, people should be allowed to play how they want. The way to encourage people to play a certain way is through weapon and gadget assignments, something which BF4 did really well.
