A Heartfelt Thank You to the Developers ❤️

Another Update... Another Thank You ❤️

I'd just like to take a moment to thank the developers for yet another game update.

As always, the patch notes tell us that "various bugs have been fixed."

It's a beautiful tradition at this point.

The only mystery is... which bugs?

Because the ones players have been reporting for months are still here.

Hit registration still feels inconsistent.

Audio still decides when it wants to exist.

Servers still seem to have a personality of their own.

And somehow, after every update, I find myself wondering whether some of the old issues have actually become even worse.

The silence is probably my favorite part.

Hundreds of players report the same problems.

Posts receive hundreds—sometimes thousands—of likes from people experiencing exactly the same thing.

Yet meaningful responses are almost impossible to find.

No explanation.

No discussion.

No acknowledgement of the issues people are actually talking about.

Just another update.

Just another list of "bug fixes."

Just another bundle in the store.

At this point, it feels like the community is being asked to keep guessing.

"Was it fixed?"

"Is it my connection?"

"Is it the servers?"

"Is it the netcode?"

Or should we just wait for the next update that promises to fix everything without telling us what actually changed?

I don't expect perfection.

I expect communication.

When so many players are describing the same issues over and over again, the worst possible response isn't "we're still investigating."

It's pretending the conversation isn't happening.

Battlefield has always had one of the most passionate communities in gaming.

People aren't writing long posts because they hate the game.

They're writing them because they want a reason to keep playing it.

Please stop treating that passion like background noise.

Right now, it feels as though the loudest feedback comes from the store, while the gameplay itself is expected to wait for another "Various bug fixes" update.

Thank you once again—and see you after the next patch, when we'll all get to play our favorite game of "Guess What Was Fixed."

Awful update. LMGs are useless now. still net code issues. the gun balance is worse than before, Armor is useless now, so is AA. 

A little update after my previous post...

First of all, thank you once again for motivating me to do a little experiment.

I wanted to find out whether what I've been experiencing for hundreds of hours was just in my head, so I created a brand-new account.

The results were... interesting.

Without my controller properly configured, without my usual settings, without any unlocked weapons, and without any muscle memory on the new profile, I won two out of my first three matches.

In one of those games, I eliminated the entire last squad by myself—four players—to win the match.

My K/D after just a few games was close to 10.

Enemies suddenly went down exactly when they should. Finishing them off felt effortless. I had plenty of time to react. I could hear everything. I could see everything. Even the rocket launcher mysteriously stopped doing those random "not now" reloads that seem to happen so often on my main account with 600+ levels.

Funny how that works.

Maybe it's all just a coincidence.

Maybe it's luck.

Or maybe there's more going on behind the scenes than we're supposed to know.

So here's my question.

Why does the game feel so completely different on a fresh account compared to an account with more than 600 levels and over 100 hours invested?

If there are systems designed to help new players enjoy the game, then just say so. At least everyone knows the rules.

If there aren't, then I'd genuinely like an explanation for why the experience changes so dramatically.

Because from where I'm standing, it feels like the better solution is to create a new account than to keep progressing on the one I've spent years building.

And if the goal is to make new players feel powerful so they'll stick around longer, buy skins, battle passes, and other cosmetics... while veteran players have already spent what they're going to spend... then that's a conversation worth having.

I'm not claiming I've proven anything.

I'm saying this experiment made my long-standing concerns even harder to ignore.

Either way, I'd love to hear an explanation—because right now, this doesn't feel like natural matchmaking or normal variation.

It feels like I'm playing two completely different games depending on which account I log into.

What do you mean man, the in game store is terrible.  You can't ever get what you actually want without having to buy a bunch of trash along with it.  I'd be happier with a CS battlecrate scheme over "Here's something you want, plus 10 things you don't, and to buy this bundle it's $20.

Also, what competitors.  The new CoD is already nearly dead.  All CoD has left is the die hard turbo-simp whales that buy every cosmetic that is released, which keeps the game ROLLING in dough.  ARC isn't a modern warfare game, it's a robot extraction shooter.  That new 3 team king of the hill game is going to bleed casuals like a sieve leaks water the second they realize they spent 10 hours grinding to buy a helo that got shot down 3 seconds in by a spawn camper with a 2 minute RPG unlock.  Then, they'll lose even more because you will be getting third partied in EVERY fight because there are 3 teams instead of 2.  Helldivers keeps nerfing fun every time the players start to enjoy the game.  Maybe Valorant?  Oh boy, I can't wait to listen to LoL ragers scream at me about how bad I am and int every time the entire lobby doesn't glaze their every action.  CS and R6 are both strategic games more than they are shooters, with R6 turning into more of a comedic affair with their new design choices, and CS being the same game from the first 2 hours of play for the remaining 200 hours.  Apex?  HA.  PUBG clones were supposed to die YEARS ago, and it's complete COMEDY that EA decided to try to poach PUBG players when they already own the ONLY SUCCESSFUL CLONE.  Marathon lost more players than BF6 did, and is now only played by die hards who will run off any new casual players.  Overwatch is 99% gooners and 1% turbo toxic sweat lords.  TF2 suffers the same problem CS does, but at least their players are generally good natured and welcome new players.

So you're 100% right on all your complaints about BF6, but they can get away with it because NO ONE understands AND cares about the end user anymore.  There are no competitors for BF6 that play well, are possible for the casual crowd to enjoy, and don't treat their players like cattle.

You are not alone. Exactly the same behaviour here. High end system, 1gbps fiber. One round i go 22-0 and top 5 scores in infantry while pushing objectives in conquest, another round i struggle to get more K than being downed (like someone flicked the nerf switch on me). Ridiculous. As if the game played in constant 1-2 sec delay to everyone 2x your latency (and im usually having one of the best connections in the lobby with an “A” grade bufferbloat score), and console is just playing this game in a completely different realm. Thank you for forced crossplay on PC, just what we needed. Tried miriads of permutations of settings from reddit, youtube, ai, nothing makes this game work consistently. 500+ hours paid beta testing, thats what this game is so far. The other day i was standing next to a spawn beacon and i lierally saw the guy spawning he was already shooting at me the moment he appeard on screen - so i wonder how much advantage this industrial garbage lag compensation gives to specific players. Playing this game on good hw and perfect latency is a pain. Every effort goes to cater to slop connection players and consoles. Pathetic. The game has no soul feeling like a cod game in bf disguise on top compared to BF V which is the most technically advanced BF to date, with actual depth and proper game mechanics like fortifications and rewarding team play with squad callins. Its hiliraious how games evolve backwards.
