📝 Battlefield 6 Missing Features & Community Feedback

🧭Pinging System

  • Players should have full manual control over pinging  no automatic pinging.
  • You should be able to ping freely by pressing the ping button as often as needed.
  • If you’re downed, you should still be able to ping, calling out enemies or objectives.
  • Automatic or “smart” pinging shouldn’t override manual input.

🪖Squad Leader System

  • It should be easy to identify who the current squad leader is.
  • If the squad leader isn’t playing their role properly (not giving orders or inactive), the system should automatically demote and promote another active squad member to leader.
  • This keeps the squad organized and objectives focused.

🗣️Communication Wheel

The commo rose (communication wheel) should offer a wider range of quick chat commands, like in Battlefield 3, 4, and 2042. Suggested lines:

  • “Go go go”
  • “Cover me”
  • “Going in hot”
  • “Stay quiet”
  • “I need backup”
  • “That area is dangerous” (double-tap ping shortcut)
  • “Take the objective”
  • “What’s your order, Squad Leader?”
  • “Fallback fallback”
  • “Enemy tank”
  • “Enemy helo”
  • “Sniper”
  • “Infantry over there”
  • “Caution: landmine”

There should be multiple variations of these same commands, so in game voice lines feel dynamic and unique, not repetitive.

🌐Server Browser

  • Server browser should allow filtering by game type with simple checkboxes.
  • Clearly separate official DICE servers (Standard and Hardcore) from community servers.
  • Add filtering options for:
    • Open vs. Closed Weapons
    • Server Rules
    • Custom Settings
  • Give players the freedom to browse and select exactly what they want, not rely only on matchmaking.

🛠️Portal Mode

  • Portal should be clearly labeled as user generated content.
  • It should have its own server browser, making it simple to navigate and discover community creations.
  • Clear details, easy filters, and transparent server information should be front and center.

🕹️Game Modes & Playlists

  • Every game mode should be available in the server browser even if no one’s currently playing it. If a player selects it, they should be able to start the lobby themselves.
  • Add the option to choose open or closed weapons in every mode.
  • Official Hardcore playlists should be available for every mode.
  • Add a “Full Rotation” playlist that cycles through every mode  Standard or Hardcore, Open or Closed weapons.

💼Loadouts

  • Players should be able to rename their loadouts.
  • Loadout names help players organize setups for different strategies and playstyles, making customization more personal and practical.

✅ Summary:

These features aren’t just “nice to have” they enhance teamwork, improve player control, and bring back the classic Battlefield identity that players love. Community, squad, and server control are what made older Battlefield titles timeless. Battlefield 6 can level up by bringing those elements back cleaner, sharper, and stronger.

    I agree with everything in the Pinging Section, Squad Leader system, Server Browser, Portal Mode, Game Modes & Play Lists.

     Labelling custom load outs I'm easy about.

    Looks a little over ambitious (cluttered commo rose?) on Communication wheel?

     

  • A proper PRACTICE RANGE ala BF4.

    At the time, playing BF4 and using that practice  range every single day that I played the game, learning to fly,  learning the gun boats and learning all of the weapons and gadgets, I would think “wow imagine how good this will all be in the next game and the next game and the next BF game”. Little did I know that  the future Devs/Producers would be incapable of or just not care enough to recreate, much less build on and improve on, the BF4 practice range. 

    SORRY, “but portal” IS NOT THE ANSWER.  You cannot do on portal all of the things the BF4 practice range allows you to do on a single map/server.
