Fundamentals which are broken (IMO)

Hi!

Forgive me for a pessimistic view of Battlefield 6.

Conquest matches are tremendously unbalanced one-sided dominance vast majority of time. Reason is plain and simple — people dismiss co-operation in all possible levels. Chaos is embraced in game's vision, or lack there of.

Chain of command is non-existent and automated. Lack of Commander and resource gameplay leads to surficial level of a gameplay. Grand scheme gameplay of attack-defense-logistic-reconnaissance division off field of combat makes gaming feel alienated and play impulse driven. Players just reacting to their immediate surroundings, instead of building success consciously or sub-consciously as a squad and a team. There's nothing substantial which builds up through gameplay!

Attacking and swarming is rewarded over majority control strategy (which wins in Conquest). Unselfish defensive players carries teams by defending capture points from falling to couple a few flanking commandos who decides victory. They get lesser points than zerging flag runners. Scoreboard and (leaderboards) favours trivial factor (K/D ratio) over contributional holistic factors (sector control, squad & team play, class play etc.).

Assigning a squad role and preferences for attracting like-minded players are non-existent. There's no point having squads in their current shape!

Class responsibilities are overlooked by players and designed to be way too customisable personal messiness. Ego-feeding customisation and personalisation is a goal.

Matchmaker over server browser scrambles system entirely. No longevity, nothing glues shards together, at any level!

    You are not being pessimistic Beth. The game is broken, and so is EA and the BF franchise. The reason there is no team play is because it does not pay to run as a squad, as the game is so horribly unbalanced. I have seen more than 1 squad get demolished at any given point by air and OP tanks. Most people since season 3 has come out just sit back and try not to die. You cant kill air assets anymore. They just sit back and camp people. And so do the tanks that you also cant kill when they sit back or really even up close. Nobody tries anymore because you die every time. I am now dying from the tanks thermal smoke as I get close and try and take them out. They don't have to shoot me, run over me they just kill me with their smoke now. So to summarize, nobody is going to play as a team because it simply is not fun being cannon fodder for tanks and air.  People are sitting back sniping and using DMR''s, which also makes the game worse. Pretty sure that EA does not seem to understand or even care. Once again EA has let down the BF community due to incompetence or lack of vision. I keep trying to understand why, I have to give up and move on because it drives me crazy. Waiting for the new COD now. 

  • TTK and movement are too fast, which rewards booty bounce sliding around a corner and killing someone in .2 seconds over a person who has advantage on a blind corner.  Players "camping" and holding defensive positions, or creating defensive positions on the battle line consistently get trash talked by their own team for not sprinting on to point and dying over and over.  People will even actively troll you because they're angry you aren't where they think you should be.  

    Remove the CoD gameplay and let this game be Battlefield, and it would be so much better.  There is ZERO reason to even try to be CoD.  People come to Battlefield to PLAY BATTLEFIELD, and yet what we get is a CoD-light gameplay style on sort of battlefield maps.

    Play Escalation instead. It's typically more balanced and it's better than Conquest, anyway.

    I paid full price for BF6 Pro on the promise of back to the old Battlefield that we all loved and hitting the hackers where it hurts. 

    Well so far complete and utter failure on both fronts. I don't want to play COD I want a hack free game of Battlefield. Every round now has a cheat, Yes I in game report them but that's not my job. And fix the net code Deliver what I paid for or looking for refund.
