Just did siege of cairo map where the max vehicles we had was tanks and jeeps and players are jumping on walls using boxes, windows and anything they can to climb onto roofs, wich allows them to jump and parachute from roof to roof to take advantage of snipping spots, not to mention its always the recon class with the respawn beacon. i hope this gets fixed before the released version
It is part of the game... you will have operators with ladders.. there are placed things on roofs by the devs to help you jump between buildings... they are not unkillable and you can check it out by yourself specially that you can acces them from all over the map...
people complaining sound like they did not play other bf games and came likley from cs or cod where you have one or two fields of gameplay on the same hight lvl... I don't need to climb onto a building to destroy others on the roofs i can use building destruction/rpg/sniper rifle/vehicle/grenade/grenade launcher/LMG to make them regret camping :)
Skill issue my guy
Hartus, i hope you're a troll as otherwise, i fear you might be on life support due to your vegetative state. Get well soon.
Rooftops were always in BF game play and highly encouraged. What's missing are helos and the ladders on buildings to get there. So people are finding their own way up. This is a tactical move and is very effective BF game play. What's also missing, full building destruction. The new destruction is good but total building collapse would be great like BF4 had.
Use some braincells and look back how bf-3 and 4 looked and come back with a box of chocolates because you made yourself sound dumb and without any good thing to bring into this conversation I don't see any sensual arguement from you lol....
you are the biggest walking skill issue here for complaining about it without even trying to counter the campers.. want me to show you how? Should i get you a personalised tutorial? get on a roof and see for yourself how you have things placed there by the devs..
vegetative state it is then. If you need exploits to make yourself feel big then buddy, this aint the game for you. Why don't you wipe that drool away, get dressed and treat yourself to a nice day out, because with your remaining limited cognitive abilities, you really don't have many days left.
I'm sorry 1991fletch - but maybe the game is not for you. Rooftops were always part of BF. A little bird was always the best counter to it. Unfortunately none of these beta maps have one.
🤣 This retort had me in stitches dude, well done Sir! I admit I agree with hartus regarding previous BF's however I feel he is incorrect in the matter regarding BFCOD the maps are too god **bleep** small to add gash roof campers/exploiters to the mix.
Looking at what you say i can clerly see you are the one needing life support ;)
if 91 is your year of birth I can see it even better...
Bf always had rooftops and no this is not an exploit because you don't use out of the map boundries to get there.. you are not invincible and you can get killed like any other.. you also can get hard countered by sniper rifles/rpg/grenade launchers/ and other players on other roofs...
there is stuff placed by the devs to help you move aorund the roofs...
USE YOUR BRAIN AND STOP BEING A **bleep** AND A WALKING SKILL ISSUE.... you are trying to make yourself the big boy by insulting others but cease to use your brain to have a normal argument supported conversation .... Go back to school and try to get some common sense it will help you see that in the trailer you have additional skills in classes to help you get to the roofs because it sounds like your buttery fingers can't and won't let you climb fast enough to get there.. which in may cases is very easy and requires minimal ammount of skill in using the parachute and jumping... (oh and climbing as well)
Little advice form me as a roof camper and also a roof counter camper ;)
theremobaric grenade launcher works great specialy from some distance where you can see their spawn beacon ^^
Edit: Yes the maps are small but turn it into your advantage (make the boom booms you can equip to annoy the campers with a grin smile on your face) ^^
Yes, rooftops were always in other games, but what is happening on the Siege of Cairo is clearly an exploit. If it wasn't, they would have made actual ropes or ladders to get to it, not use janky jump, climb, and parachute mechanics.
Well you have multiple placed items that look like devs intended you to use them so this map will have easier acces on the roofs when the ladder in some class comes up ;) check it out for yourself ^^
I'll be honest dude thats another issue I have with BFCOD the over use of certain things like noob tubes, I've been on maps where near enough every death was to a noob tube as turned a corner xD The irritating thing about that is I can try and suicide kill people with the rocket launcher I have out and blast the floor between us and it not damage anyone ^^ I don't recall anyone releasing armour piercing rubber rockets that are only effective against tanks and not people 80% of the time.
If anyone cares about my opinion. I think Roofs are fun. But instead of forbidding access to them, it would be worthwhile either to create some roofs that can be accessed to a tactical position with collapsible stairs, or collapsible roofs (Make them like a collapsible floor). Just think about how vertical the gameplay can become. In any case, regardless of whether the roofs are banned or not, there will be players who will still try to get to these places. Why ban fun when it can be properly presented?
If this is not addressed it is going to be a massive issue in Battlefield 6. In all maps so far verticality where that is not intended by design is being massively exploited across both beta weeks and this is going to ruin the multiplayer experience to the point I may even need to refund my game if this is not fixed by launch
The issue with rooftops is that once a squad is up there with a respawn beacon and because the tops of the buildings are indestructible and the floor to the roof is indestructible unlike other floors where you are intended to be. It means you cannot kill that squad. They get up there, put a respawn beacon and win the match by abusing a massive exploit
So EA needs to either make everything above where players are meant to be literally just be out of combat zone for infantry
Or they need to add destruction to the rooftops on New York, Cairo, Iberia (Gibraltar) and any other maps with rooftops. As well as make the mountain terrain semi destructible on Tajikistan as that map also has that same exploit where you can climb to ridiculously overpowered positions, pop down a respawn beacon and your squad cannot be killed
One of these two solutions need to be in place before launch or otherwise this exploit is really going to ruin the game. Many matches in the beta were ruined by this exploit already, I will NOT be keeping my purchase if this exploit is not resolved permanently across ALL MAPS
Destruction feels like it’s in line with the direction they’re already pushing. The rooftop details even make it seem like ladders or intended access points were on the table at some stage.
From my experience in the Beta, slower squads that avoid sprinting into open streets—and use smoke, suppressive fire, and a counter‑sniper—can deal with rooftop campers pretty effectively. If mortars are coming as hinted, that’s another built‑in counter that adds more tactical options without locking things down completely.
I don’t think every high position needs to be off‑limits. With the right tools and pacing, vertical threats can be part of the game’s ebb and flow rather than a constant exploit.
I've seen how to get up there. "Look like devs intended..." nope you don't know what the devs intentions are. And it doesn't look purposefully placed either. That's just pure copium excuse making
Because it’s cheating. You are using exploits to get up there. The devs didn’t want you to get on the rooftops for a reason.
Flea_1 Well said.
Every person that uses this glitch should be reported and the subsequently banned for using it.
It's clearly not intended for people to go out of bounds on the Cairo map otherwise there would be ladders. I'm sick of playing that map and every time i remove it from my "Custom Queue" it magically queues me back to that same map. People are getting so bored from getting sniped from good knows which roof that would rather run around and waste everyone's time.
MAKE IT KNOWN THAT USING THIS OBIVOUSL GLITCH WILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND PEOPLE WONT USE IT.................................
First of all it's just beta, calm down. And, the squad mates that get pulled into this aren't at fault. The point of beta is to find stuff like this so it doesn't make it into the release.
It just needs to be fixed.
The normal selling model of games these days is that the "Beta" is the 1st release of the game.
I am calm.
The point is that i like the game and i enjoy playing it, i just queue different maps and I leave the Cairo one.
You saying "Calm down its just a beta" doesn't provide any feedback, solution or constructive criticism to what I said.
And what i said is, roof jumping is not something that was designed into the game therefor everyone who uses the glitch should be punished. What if you had a "glitch" where you see everyone in the game through walls and no one can see you?
I bet that would be fun to play huh?
EA / Battlefield are tradwife, betas are for testing and fixing bugs before the release. This isn't an early access game. In other words, they're not going to ban people for finding a bug or exploit. You're supposed to find stuff like this and let them know about it so they can make sure it doesn't make it into release.
e.g. I found a way to get underneath a cap point so you can't be shot but can cap and reported it in this forum. And, also found a glitch on the stairwell where you can't be damaged and reported that in here, etc. By the time release comes out the collision on those will be fixed.
It's fine to be bothered by it and let them know about the bug so they fix it. I'm not saying you shouldn't report it. But, expecting a mass ban instead of just a bug fix before release is an odd way to approach beta testing.
Note: I'm also pissed about this bug, it ruined one of the few good maps we have.
Also, if you select Custom Server you can avoid Cairo when matchmaking instead of having to quit out of it. That's what I've been having to do. Iberian Offensive is a good alternative.
The Empire map should not be a conquest map as it stands. Way too small, catering to the COD fans. Literally skipped that map every chance I got.
Do something about sniping. Liberation peak is a sniping nightmare, and now so is siege of Cairo, people sitting on top of roof, exploiting a piece that shouldn’t be there. Either put a death ceiling in the game or make ladder/stairs to get people to the roofs.
way too many RPGs and C4. Limit to one or two shots with RPGs and that’s it, they need a ressupply.
conpass should be automatically equipped.
It's not part of the game , it a glitch .Maybe when the game fully release it might be part of the game with the ladders. Just cause in the pass games , they had roof top areas don't mean it in all the games /maps . Lease not during the beta test , people had to use a glitch or tricks to get up there that not intended for that use .
Using the roof is a skill issue cause you can't fight in the streets , you got hide like a coward for easy kills .
Why not just make them in red zone like what you get near map borders?
My plane can easily get out of reach just for late turn but camper who wants to go everest can easily do this and snipe all game long? No just make them in red zone by height if not in aircraft
