Feedback on Map Design, Weapon Balance, and Matchmaking

Product: Battlefield 6 / REDSEC

Platform: PS5

======================================================================

1. MAP ADJUSTMENTS & LOOT FEEDBACK (FORT LYNDON)

======================================================================

* The Golf Course: This central area is huge but has almost no loot. It needs small structures (tents, checkpoints) to add chests and make landing there viable.

* The Bunker (Defense Testing Complex 3): This place is completely overcrowded because it is the only reliable spot for high-tier loot. Adding 2 or 3 similar bunkers around the map would split squads up at the start.

* City & Crash Site: The city is too large/vertical and the crash site crater slows down the game pacing. Please consider shrinking the city, filling the crash site hole, and replacing them with surface bunkers or fortified military outposts to encourage early-game combat.

======================================================================

2. MAJOR BUGS & WEAPON BALANCING AFFECTING THE EXPERIENCE

======================================================================

* Ghost Bullets & Explosives (Hit Registration): High fire-rate weapons, shotguns, Bazookas, and Grenade Launchers are severely bugged. They often hit targets directly but register zero hitmarkers and deal no damage.

* LMG Weapon Imbalance (No Recoil/Screen Shake): Light Machine Guns (LMGs) currently have zero screen shake or camera kick when firing. This makes them abnormally stable and way more accurate while standing up compared to Assault Rifles.

* Visual/Lighting Bug: On PS5, urban areas frequently trigger flashing colored lights (pink, green, white) or turn buildings pitch black.

* Loadout/Supply Drops Bug: Care packages often land empty, or they do not contain the loadout that was selected.

* Ranked Matchmaking Restriction: The game prevents friends from playing together if they have more than a 2-rank difference, but Bronze/Silver players are still put against Master and Top 250 players in matchmaking. If the matchmaking allows such high-rank players in low-rank lobbies, friends should be allowed to party up regardless of their rank restrictions.

    Thanks for taking the time to put together such a detailed breakdown.

    A few of the topics you've called out overlap with areas that have already received updates or are currently being reviewed. Recent Battlefield updates included adjustments to Battle Royale loot distribution on Fort Lyndon, fixes for missing loot in Defense Testing Complex 3, improvements to airdrop behavior and stability, ongoing combat and netcode improvements, multiple vehicle and launcher balance changes, and continued investigation into lighting-related issues.

    The feedback around Fort Lyndon's loot flow, bunker concentration, LMG handling, ranked matchmaking restrictions, and the overall pacing of specific points of interest is helpful. We'll make sure this feedback is shared with the team.

    Can you provide me with more details on this one?
    What map/modes?
    How often?
    Did it start after a certain update?

    * Loadout/Supply Drops Bug: Care packages often land empty, or they do not contain the loadout that was selected.

    Thanks again for taking the time to write everything up and provide such detailed examples.
