[Battlefield 6 feedback] let's keep it simple.
I will try to keep it short, but since it's battlefield, ill have a lot of things to say. The numbered order isn't ranked by importance. So the classes section isn't as important as the map section. The lettered section is ranked by importance.
1: Classes.
A: first off, the open-class idea needs to go. Aside from the fact that a good amount of Battlefields identity comes with how unique each class is, the open class system shows a lot of problems with balancing. A sniper with a med pack is absolutely awful. Imagine two snipers, for example; one is assault class and one is support. One can have a spawn beacon and an extra weapon for mid to short range, while the other provides both cover and a pack that heals and provides ammo at the same time. That basically means in certain maps, the duo are almost unkillable without someone going out of their way to go there. And even if they did, the one with the assault class can just switch to their other weapon and kill the guy. A tank/helicopter should not be needed to kill two people, who are affecting the game negatively due to their choices. They're not the bad guys here, though, they're just playing the game exactly how it's supposed to be played. And no, splitting the support bag into two separate bags, one for healing and one for ammo, does not improve things. IMO, use the Battlefield 4 system. Assault rifle is unique to the assault class, sniper to recon, etc. Maybe make the closed system the default and open system as a portal experience.
B: general loss of class identity. The med pack being able to both provide ammo and health is way too much. It completely strips the assault class identity and, honestly, makes him feel completely pointless. And the engineer class being able to carry both an anti-air launcher and a rocket launcher is way too much. And the open class system makes this even worse, with anyone being able to use any weapon makes the already thin identity of the classes that much thinner. I don't hate the open weapon system, I really don't. But all it does is make the game suffer through the lack of identity, and balance. And for what? Variety? The closed system will allow everyone to use the shotguns and other non-class-specific weapon anyway. And as someone who got into Battlefield not that long ago, the idea of a closed weapon system is perfectly fine and is neither confusing nor off-putting to new players.
C: the sweetspot system isnt a good idea. All it does is make the game inconsistent. Sometimes one-shotting the enemies on the body for seemingly no reason at all
2: Maps:
A: I love, love, LOVE Cairo. It's easily the best map in the beta, and the best small map in any Battlefield game I've played. But the game does not have enough big maps. Yes, I understand that the beta has smaller maps for multiple reasons, but from what I've seen, a good chunk of launch maps are pretty small. While having small maps is not bad (Cairo my beloved) at the end of the day, most Battlefield fans love the bigger maps with verticality. I really hope that in the future (especially the first batch of DLC maps) you will provide us the bigger maps we love. And I hope that 2042s map size issue didn't make you think that we don't like big maps anymore. We do, just not THAT big.
B: liberation peak has problems. Specifically, a sniper problem. People climbing the mountain and just having huge sightliness is not great, a problem made worse with the open class system, allowing them infinite ammo and rocket launchers.
3: Servers.
And here is the big one. The one problem that is making me worried about the future of the game the most. The lack of a proper server browser that both allows for official and community servers is not only a shame, it is genuinely, genuinely a huge deal for so many people. I live in the Middle East, and while the game is popular here, it does not have the huge community Europe and America has. Meaning that the game, without a server browser, will be completely unplayable in two years at most due to the dead region.
Battlefield 2042 is currently unplayable due to this. I cannot play a vanilla server anymore and due to the lack of a proper server browser I can't just join a European server just like I can in literally every other Battlefield server since Battlefield 3. and Battlefield 1 and 5 wouldn't be playable without it as well, and trust me, I tried to find a game using the matchmaker, and it just couldn't find any server close enough to be able to join.
And even if you did fix the matchmaker to make me able to find games not in my region, I still don't have the ability to pick and choose which map I want to play. And yes, I know that portal has a server browser. But it's simply not the same. First off, I want to play on official dice servers on vanilla rules. I don't want to hope that someone has made a server in portal that is 100% vanilla, since most people in portal don't want vanilla, they either want XP farms or milsim servers or other experiences. I just want to be able to reliably find a vanilla server to play in. and the only way for that to happen, and the only way i, and tens of thousands of people will be able to play in the future, is by a proper server browser.
If you pick one thing from this post, please make it this.
