Battlefield 6: Marketing vs. Reality
This post provides a fact-based summary of the discrepancies between the pre-release marketing and official developer statements for Battlefield 6 and the features delivered in the final, updated pro...
Forum Discussion
Zaxoro3 Thanks for the feedback on sourcing, but the "source" for the Core Progression System issue is EA/DICE’s own pre-launch marketing, which explicitly promised "full progression" and "100% XP" in Portal. A broken promise isn't a lack of facts; it's a fact itself.
On XP Farmers and Server Health:
You're blaming the rats for taking the cheese when the chef left a giant, gaping hole in the pantry door. DICE created a system so fundamentally exploitable that bot farms were inevitable. Instead of fixing the exploit, they used a nuclear option that killed all legitimate custom server experiences, too.
The community is not responsible for securing the game's economy; the developers are. Don't thank the farmers; thank DICE for their lazy, collateral-damage-heavy fix.
On Map Size vs. Design:
You're right that old Battlefield maps were large. The difference? They had density, flow, and cover. BF2042 maps are just large, empty canvases with massive travel times—a walking simulator by design. The problem was never the size; it was the non-existent design. That Reddit size comparison just proves they scaled up the maps without scaling up the thought process.
IIIIIPALEIIIII Nonetheless always give the source in it. That no one can question your facts.
You can push the blame on Dice or EA or the lazy boys and girls who can´t wait to be already on Rank 999 with everything unlocked tomorrow. If you got a manifestation of cockroaches in your house, what do you do? You bomb the whole house with chemicals for a few days.
It might be a harsh step for all PVE players but i am sure if all PVE players do together a petition, Dice will come up with something which suits everyone. My suggestion was in another thread to seperate PVE Achievements/attachments from PVP. At least for a time being.
Map & Design:
BF 2042 the only playable map for me was Redacted. The rest was pure garbage, as you said. They were just very big.
Now they got the right size but the design could need some polishing, at least thats my point of view.
The point of view from Dice i believe was, more space for Vehicles & Aircraft, not for Infantry.
Still trying to figure out Portal SDK to build my own but they made that very difficult for someone who does not know coding.
As i said, i wish you luck but i don´t believe you got a chance as Game works as intented and ist still being worked on.
Zaxoro3 "Game works as intended and is still being worked on"
Works as intended - Nope. They just removed half the fun from the game.
Still being worked on - That's blatantly obvious, yet another "Let's patch it after release" game that was not fully finished but released anyway.

No Game is being released perfect. Even before the internet, we received patches via magazines for games.
"Being worked on" means, that they are working on these bugfixes (i expect at least).
Zaxoro3 The central matter is one of consumer awareness and the fundamental integrity of the product as initially marketed. Key features, such as the ability to utilize bot lobbies for progression leading up to launch, were presented as part of the overall experience. The subsequent removal or severe restriction of these features post-sale fundamentally alters the product we, the consumers, were led to believe we were purchasing—a product many are now describing as "missold."
This is about the consumer contract. If the foundational features used to market and sell a new title—in this case, what many expected to be the true Battlefield 6 experience—are substantially altered or removed shortly after launch, it constitutes a change in the product after the transaction was complete.
This post is for any consumer who feels wronged, or who feels they purchased a product based on features that were quickly withdrawn, you should absolutely seek a full refund based on the premise that the delivered product does not match the advertised product. Consumer rights protect against substantial and detrimental changes to a purchased item.
This is not a call to argue back and forth—it is a call for awareness and action regarding how a product was marketed versus how it was delivered. No more no less.
IIIIIPALEIIIII So show me, where they tell this exactly?
"Key features, such as the ability to utilize bot lobbies for progression"
Actually i am not arguing with you, just letting you know, that EU is not the right contact.
This is, if you think you are right, a matter for your lawyer.
Like i said, i wish you good luck.
