BF6 - Conquest Issues

Hello Everyone,

I have never written on a game forum before, but as battlefield is my favorite franchise I feel the need to speak up so hopefully the devs see that they're messing with a formula that is battlefiend way to much. I was told they actually read these forums, and as a long time battlefield fan (BF2 Modern Combat on console as my entry point and with my favorite battlefields being BC2, BF4, and BF1) I feel like the Devs have some serious disconnect from the core formula that makes battlefield, battlefield. I do want to say I am loving playing BF6, but there needs to be awareness to these issues.

Issue #1 - Conquest Matches are too short.

They recently changed the ticket count on some maps which is a serious let down. Conquest traditionally lasted 30 minutes per game, they now last about 20 minutes. This is a game mode that is suppose to be grand scale and longer, it is not designed to be a quick match. I sincerely hope they put all tickets back to 1000 and remove the timer and let the war wage on.

Issue #2 - Conquest "Imminent Defeat"

This seriously is one of the lamest mechanics ever, I know for a fact that in old battlefield titles you can turn the tide of war even if your team gets overwhelmed at some point during the match. This mechanic ruins great come backs and makes matches end WAY to soon. Granted this doesn't happen often, but it is not a welcome change to the conquest formula and hope it gets removed. 

Issue #3 - Vehciles not Spawning

This one baffles me and I don't know how the game released with this issue. There are several maps (mostly for NATO) where air support and sometimes tanks just don't spawn, leaving the battlefield a bit uneven (and unfun). Most notably (to me) is the lack of the attack helicopter for Nato on Manhattan bridge... it makes taken over flag B very annoying as you have to soley rely on stingers against the enemy helicopter, while you're a sitting duck on a roof waiting to be shot by the gunner of the heli. This issue needed to be fixed yesterday, and I hope its being worked on.

Issue #4 - Closed Weapons Conquest Playlist

We need a dedicated closed weapons conquest playlist that contains all of the available maps for conquest. I personally hate Escalation and find it a gimmic of the conquest mode and have zero desire to play it. This playlist is seriously needed, or at the very least when we do a custom search give us the option to look for closed weapons. (Yeah I know lortal exists, but those servers are usually underpopulated and or being used to farm exp/challenges on bots).

Issue #5 Misc. Issues 

There are a few other issues that I believe need to be addressed that is more apparent to the entirety of BF6. First one is shots not registering... there are plenty of clips out there show casing a player shooting an enemy, blood coming out of the enemy, but they don't take any damage. This needs to be fixed ASAP. People being able to jump onto Recon Drones, and get to unfair gameplay spaces. Random bouncing and movement exploits due to the assaults ladder, rubble, and possibly bumpy map design needs to be addressed. 

Thats all I can think of for now, these are the main things that grind my gears while playing BF6. I hope they listen to the main fans/playerbass thats knows BF to its core and that the devs stay true to keeping BF a true BF experience. If anyone does read this, I want to say thank you for listening and I really do love this game and appreciate all your hardwork on this franchise. Please don't butcher it and lose the BF identity like 2042 did.

See ya'll on the battlefield!

    You're right on everything, this is my first time posting on this forum too. The Conquest changes really feels like Dice is trying to make everything smaller & shorter for casual audiences. The timer is 100% the issue here. We want to keep fighting ESPECIALLY if the score is tight.
