Dear EA/DICE: You’re Losing the Battlefield Community

Read my reply to your previous post please.

Exactly mate.

Still being unheard is horrendous enough Portal FULL XP Return still hasn't come back .. I don't know why just crack down on AFK Server and allow us honest players be able to grind solo or coop .. as I know for sure that casual breakthrough that just got added that seems like to test the waters or an alternative ain't gonna cut it .. you know what we want .. how about starting to change it NOW .. not Later and not TOMMORROW .. you are only just adding fuel to the fire of new players and those who come from other games leave you VERY SOON and returning players. 

There alot of stuff it need to change in this game but we will worry about this once we fix this issue Right now first than the next and it has to be soon.

Modern gaming! Fix and update the game less and add more content to the game, for example REDSEC. Later on, development team will have more work to do to fix these issues. At the same time, cheaters will be harmful to the game, which will lead to losing players to these cheaters and slow game updates.

This summarises my experience and thoughts on the current state of the game. Well said and I couldn’t agree more. I really miss the good old times of BF2.. back in the days when it actually mattered to play the objective without people desperately trying to run and gun for any given assignment. It’s exhausting to play the pvp playlists too, because of the pace and there’s no room to enjoy the graphics. I can only wish that they are going to take a look at your post and that someone gets the hint to make some changes to get the game in a better state and maybe return to the original feeling again

I knew the maps were small and felt small but only when I saw the size comparison some folks have made on the Battlefield subreddit did I realize just how small they are...
Classes being back in the game was a step in the right direction after 2042, but letting everyone have access to every weapon was absolutely pointless... At that point I'd rather go play 2042, atleast there people played different specialists from the 4 different classes. Here you see 90% engineer/support a few recons and 1 or 2 confused assaults per game... 

At this point I'm considering just going back to 2042 or just dropping the franchise altogether... 

I agree, spreading out a bit would be great.   Liberation peak, for example has a great length, it just feels very narrow.   I'd love to see some re-imagining of some of the BF1 maps, actually...those were TONS of fun to play

Let's not forget BF2042 didn't hit it's stride until a year later...that being said I'm not here to defend the game's faults.

From my time playing the game:

#1- TTK is wildly inconsistent, visually, it registers one or two shots max...yet the damage feedback shows 4 with a DMR.   Other times I will land half half my RPK clip in someone from behind...only for them to turn around and melt me.   This is one of my biggest irritants with this game currently

#2-  Both Shotgun and SMG ranges need to be majorly nerfed...right now both their ranges are way too much

#3- defilade- This really needs to be looked at, there's been plenty of times where I've been shot/downed through a hill.   Now if it was a small one and I was running with my head up above that hilltop, I've got no issues with that...but I have complete cover with a massive hill and bullets are passing through.   I find this same issue happens with tank wrecks/cars...those are still solid objects viable for use as cover, bullets shouldn't be passing straight through them

#4- Your anti-cheat was good...but it seems as they always do, cheaters have found their way around it.   We're coming across guys camping in HQ on liberation peak hitting headshots with iron sight SMG's.  We've also seen the "fully automatic" sniper rifle phenomenon, which admittedly could just be server lag, all possibilities considered.   Spin-and-lock on hipfire headshots (x4).    The 1200 M ironsight sniper headshots.   I get it, some people truly are just that good, at least with a scope, and at closer ranges with iron sights.   That being said, turning off cross-play all but eliminated the issues.   Make of that what you will.

#5- Maps don't feel like true BF maps, they feel smaller, less options for attacking points (conquest).   Honestly, they feel like CoD maps, with 2 or three lanes and that's about it.   Blackwell Fields, for example...snipers and tanks just camp the hills, or sit on C because that's where the majority of the fighting seems to take place.   Larger more spread out maps would be a welcome addition

6#- Weapon unlocks...most of them aren't really worth the work it took to unlock them.   We don't need anything too crazy, but maybe the different bullets do different base damage, for example.   OR something like the different barrels/muzzles that have different velocities combine with different bullets to create more base damage.

#7- Movement could be slowed down a bit, while not completely hyperspastic, you could tell they're at least trying to attract CoD players...which is not really something that this game needs.   I personally think you'll get a true sense of how this game plays once CoD is released and those players will migrate back there.   Attracting more players obviously is a good thing for the Pubs and Devs, but the type of players I'd say is what's more important to the community...I could be way off there but that's my two cents

Bigger maps

No auto spotting unless via correct tool

Resupply stations

FIX THE HACKS

Remake a modern version of BF3 / 4 what we all know and want again

I don't know what you mean. They show ping. They show the number of players, ping, a name, the map, the game mode, so on, and so on. All the options we had in any other game are there. You can filter, or not filter. Don't filter and order by the thing you want. All of that. What is missing?
