Latest BF6 Opinions

I haven't checked in for a while because I wanted to play a good bit in season 3 with the changes.  I'm going to list what I perceive as some problems that still exist, in order of importance.

  1. 4 man squads, needs to go back to 5 man squads.  This is a team oriented game and if even one person on your squad wants to fly or drive, it really disrupts the squad too much.  Gof forbid one person wants to fly a chopper and another snipe.
  2. AA is horrible in this game.  We're still in the same trap as BF4.  Stingers are practically worthless, so no one plays them.  The AA vehicle is poor.  The only real defence against decent to good air player is having your own air players to challenge them, for which there aren't enough of.  Jets and choppers have their way with the world too much.
  3. Some of the maps need to be reworked a little.  You have a decent selection of maps, but those maps have some problems.  Firestorm mountain on one side, snipers can sit there all day and no one can go up and kill them.  Eastwood the A B area is too easy for the other side to back cap,  Either constrict that area or move A and B closer together so they can be defended as a pair.  Blackwell Fields the northen boundaries around B and D need to be expanded.
  4. Team balance - I don't know what the algorithm is, but too often the teams are way unbalanced.
  5. RPG's are practically worthless.
  6. Spotting is better but still very poor, so no one even tries.  Sometimes i have my crosshairs right over an enemy and i'm spamming the key and it's not spotting.
  7. Drone batteries - need to last twice as long, or, give someone 3 drones to carry.
  8. I would expand the range of TUGS by about 10%

Overall i'm really happy with the latest direction of changes.  I think before season 3 things were pretty dismal.

Cheers!

    Hello friend!

    Penguin thinks many of these concerns are reasonable and valid, but game balance is often much more complicated than what it looks from most players perspectives, and usually takes a lot of time with many small cumulative/gradual changes over time, rather than a big change in specific aspects of the game ⏲️

    For example, making AA stronger sounds like a simple solution, but Penguin recommends careful adjustments over time. One of the reasons game teams often make gradual balance changes is so they can observe the cumulative effects and gather feedback from players and gaming communities before making further changes.

    If AA vehicles become too effective, air vehicles can stop being fun to use, resulting in fewer players using them, which can introduce an entirely different balance problem. 👉 Fun to use = Penguins Key concern in this regard 🔑

    The same thing applied before the RPG nerf and tank armor buff in Season 3, where many players expressed frustration when using tanks and AA vehicles because of RPG effectiveness.

    Penguin also thinks team balance is one of the hardest problems in multiplayer games and often one of the biggest sources of community frustration. Pretty much why Penguin takes the time to try put this explanation together! 😀 The topic of this thread = important friend! 😎🕶️

    A match can appear unbalanced for multiple reasons. 
    Sometimes it is matchmaking, but it can also be caused by highly skilled players ending up on one side, stronger squad coordination, communication, vehicle usage, map knowledge, or simply nothing more than small differences in team composition.

    That doesn't mean the concerns are invalid friend.  Penguin fully agrees that the developers should continue refining these systems, and they currently do!  Nice update arriving in upcoming Tuesday!👉📅EA official update link:  BATTLEFIELD 6 GAME UPDATE 1.3.2.0 

    😀Penguin simply thinks that many of these mechanics are connected, and changing one part of the equation can create unexpected consequences elsewhere.

    Overall, Penguin was happy to read your post about these topics, and Season 3 seems to be a cool step forward for Battlefield 6!😎

    Big Fan Of Battlefield!
    Many Thanks
    Penguin
