Feedback & Suggestions - BF6 Beta

      I’ll start by saying that I haven’t played BF3 or BF4. I know many players are upset that BF6 doesn’t feel like those games, but this actually gives me the chance to view it from a fresh perspective – which can be useful for understanding how newer or different players see it. After roughly 20 hours in the BF6 beta, these are my impressions so far. I won’t be overly harsh about bugs, but here are some of the issues I’ve noticed.

Bugs

  • Stuck on loading screen – Especially when joining Conquest matches, the loading screen can put you in an infinite loop. ( After yesterday I haven't encountered this again, maybe it's fixed ?)
  • Key bindings not working – Some controls don’t work as intended (ex. crouch, roll, slide).
  • Ping issues – Sometimes pings won’t register at all, or you hear the sound but nothing appears on screen.
  • Random flickering – The entire screen can randomly flicker.
  • Reload animation glitch – Can break when going prone, jumping, etc.
  • Vehicle icons missing – Sniper spotting doesn’t always show vehicle icons.
  • Fly bug – Jumping, going prone, or sliding near certain edges/objects can launch your character into the air. This also affects sniping from edges, as crouch/prone often sends you flying.
  • Settings tab reset – After changing a setting and going back one step, it always jumps to the first tab (Accessibility) instead of staying on the previous menu.
  • No cross-play toggle – There doesn’t seem to be an option to disable cross-play.
  • Missing hitboxes – Some objects (ex. rocks) have no collision, allowing you to go inside or walk through them.

Suggestions for Improvement

Gameplay & Feel

  • Kills feel unrewarding – Especially with snipers, there’s no satisfying sound or visual feedback (BF5 had a great “soul” in this aspect from my perspective).
  • Hit feedback – Sometimes you can’t really tell if you hit an enemy. Hit counter isn't very noticeable all the time.
  • Movement – Love it so far, but like kills, lacks that rewarding feeling sometimes.
  • Visibility issues – Maps often look slightly blurry no matter the settings, making it harder to spot enemies.
  • Lack of entry animations – Entering vehicles is instant (teleportation), which feels unnatural.

Settings & UI

  • Unintuitive menus – Many settings are duplicated across tabs, and most lack clear descriptions of what they actually do. I would love to actually understand what every setting is doing by reading the detailed description and a clean-up of the settings tab.
  • Live preview – When customizing HUD, minimap, graphics, etc., it would be great to have a live preview window showing changes in real time (i think CS2 have something like that).
  • Element repositioning – Ability to freely move HUD, minimap, chat, and other on-screen elements.

Training & Practice

  • Shooting Range limitations – No ability to change settings while in the range. Would be useful to adjust and instantly test without leaving.
  • Training maps – In BF5 you had a short map where you could test anything and even learn how to fly, shoot, etc. This would be very helpful to have so you can practice with vehicles and aircraft and test weapons.

Weapon Mechanics & Hitboxes

  • Recoil & patterns – Often feel random and hard to control, while some guns become “laser beams” with no recoil after certain attachments (feels overpowered).
  • Hitbox issues – Bullets can hit invisible collision boxes even when the line of sight is clear.

Maps & Spawning

  • Map sizes – Maps feels short, it takes you 2-3 minutes to run most of them from side to side. Because I played so much BF5 and I loved it, in there we had Conquest with smaller maps (but still bigger than those in BF6) and Strategic Conquest which was way bigger, maybe in the full game we will have that mode too?
  • Spawn problem – Sometimes you spawn too close to enemies and die instantly.
  • Spawn animations – Spawning feels abrupt. A more detailed spawn map and smooth animation would improve immersion. (BF5 had something which I really liked.)

Other

  • Classes – More options (Field Specs) per class would be welcome.
  • Grenades – Trajectory looks like a straight line instead of a realistic arc; also, the glowing lights on grenades look odd.
  • Tutorial – A guided mode explaining each class, gadget, movements, vehicles, aircrafts, etc. could help new players adapt faster and avoid frustration. And who knows, for some people this is really a turning point, they get mad in the first 5 mins because they do not understand the game and everything looks chaotic. ( this is an example with an actual friend)

Final thoughts

PC specs, because I saw some posts/videos about people complaining the game runs pretty bad.
RTX 3080, i7-12700k, Windows 10, 2560x1440 Monitor with every setting on ultra I have around 100-120fps (idk if I should have more or not, but so far everything is smooth). 
Overall, I like the game and believe it has great potential. I think optimization is quite good – I haven’t experienced lag spikes, delays, or stuttering so far.

I just hope the developers genuinely consider community feedback. Of course, you can’t please everyone, but the more voices and constructive suggestions we have, the better the game will become.
Also I would love to see other opinions here, either you agree or disagree with my list or part of it for sure everyone has more to say.

    I believe they need to simplify settings i don't need 15 setting options for controller look sens with 5 different aim curves and a 0 to 100 scale on aim assist strength and slowdown and have different sensitivity settings for when im down waiting for a revive one thing they could learn from cod is this aspect but dnt have aim assist as strong I actually like mine very minor and not intrusive took me the first 2-3 hours of game play to tune my setting after trying to figure out what everything affected and still don't like the way they feel when sniping witch is odd for them to feel so different and clunky trying to use a sniper
