What are the top 3 things you would change about BF2042 that would instantly improve your overall enjoyment.Please list only 3 (even if you feel there are many more)And please keep it civil I genuinely would love to hear peoples honest viewpoints on this.I will start it off with :1. A server browser based system with persistent servers (I bet that must have shocked you all) 🙂2. More Maps (preferably more like the old style BF maps) 7 maps is not enough.3. The enemy faction to look different than my own team, it currently seems odd that you can be killed by your twin brother. 🙂

1 - mode hardcore (TTK, reduced HUD, team kill, soldier speed) 2 - proper class system3 - vehicle spawn on map, not people spawn in vehicle

@RayD_O1 VOIPSquad incentives (follow orders, revive squad mate, etc.)Steady the revive mechanics (no more flipping around and turning up side down, aka return fire kill over double kills)

The sound. It lacks a ton of dynamic range and the compression/hard limiter is, I think, responsible for the known difficulties in detecting player movement and those frustrating instances when the little bird/ tank arrives without making a noticeable sound. It actually does; it just gets pushed behind other, less salient sounds.How portal is communicated to players - there are portal modes which offer full XP. And they feature a server browser. In fact, those portal servers should probably be included in matchmaking - a custom server message from the admin encouraging players to bookmark it and come back might help address the tumbleweeds.(Actually 2.2) - liberalising how XP is awarded. If it isn't possible already, Portal AOW-128 servers with a custom map rotation should get all the XP and progression available to default servers. No other mods to health, damage and the like, just allow players to search for and find vanilla experience servers that award XP and aren't silly "500% ticket hardcore" servers with 4 players on them.Server tickrate. I understand it's probably impractical (or more likely expensive) with 128 players and current server hardware, but dying metres behind hard cover annoys me no end.

Server browserFraction based specialists and only 4-6 with option for customizationBetter fly mechanics

1. Removal of forced spawn at the beginning of matches. 2. Server browser and/or persistent servers (basically I don't want to matchmake after every round). 3. An overhaul of the deployment screen.

What are the top 3 things you would change about BF2042 ?

1. I think the soldiers move ridiculously fast. I would either like to see them slowed down or for there to be a more severe movement penalty for picking certain weapons.
2. bolte e should be classified with tanks. Adjust number of transports and armored vehicles available to each map accordingly.
3. Flight controls for the helicopter are a bit odd in as a console player in my opinion. Having turning and ascending and descending all on the same stick is a lot. Maybe something like right bumper/left bumper?

@Agent_AsiagoNope it is the same as BF3/4 except the Tactical Sprint which is a little bit faster than the sprint perk

The different perception of speed is depending on your settings of FOV.
