A Suggestion for Battlefield 6: Classic Server Browser and Fair Crossplay
Hi DICE,
I bought Battlefield 6 a week ago with a 60% discount. I played the open beta and almost every free weekend before that, and even reached level 86 without playing REDSEC.
I've played BF3, BF4, BF Hardline, BF1, BFV, and BF2042. My favorites are BF3, BF4, BF Hardline, and BF1. Unfortunately, I haven't enjoyed the multiplayer experience as much in the last two Battlefield games.
1. Bring Back the Classic Server Browser
I can still play BF1, BF4, and BFV today and find community servers full of real players, with regular communities, map rotations, and active administrators. But in BF6, I usually play against bots. Even if I finally find a full Conquest match, I can be sent to another bot-filled lobby after the round ends.
Portal already offers a dedicated server search feature, but it doesn't provide the experience offered by the classic, fully visible server browser in BF3 and BF4.
I want an organized server list where all available servers are displayed and sorted with player counts, ping, maps, modes, and filters, allowing me to choose exactly where to play. I also want persistent community servers with active administrators to help keep cheaters out, where players can stay together for multiple rounds.
Even older Battlefield games with far fewer players can offer a better multiplayer experience than BF6. I want to play against real people, not bots.
2. Allow PC Players to Disable Console Cross-Play
Please allow PC players to opt out of console cross-play. This isn't about claiming one platform is better than another. I just want the option to play against people using the same platform and ideally the same login method.
Players should be able to choose their preferred competitive environment, and community servers should have the option to restrict login methods if possible.
I play Battlefield for the human opponents, the community, and the competitive fun. I don't need perfect maps or perfect weapon balance to enjoy the game. I just want the freedom to choose how I play.
I bought BF6 because I wanted a new Battlefield game that I could enjoy for years to come, just like BF3, BF4, and BF1.
Today, there are hardcore servers on the portal that only require 10 HP kills, and even those are full-player servers. So why aren't there 2-3 servers including normal maps?
Please bring back the classic, list-based server browser from old Battlefield games and give players more control over cross-play. These features would make a huge difference in the enjoyment I get from BF6.
Thanks for reading.
