Hi Electronic Arts Team,
We’re a group of long-time friends who’ve played together for decades and remain passionate fans of Battlefield 6, especially the infantry-focused Strikepoint mode. We appreciate the direction, but recent matchmaking limitations are impacting our experience.
Top Concerns (by priority):
1. Stalled Queue When Joining Friends – When attempting to join a full squad, we’re placed in a queue that often doesn’t progress—even when server slots open.
2. Loss of Flexible Team Joining – Previous titles allowed joining the opposing team if a squad was full, enabling faster access and more social gameplay.
3. Reduced Social Engagement – These restrictions discourage joining active sessions, leading players to leave or avoid matches altogether.
Suggested Improvements:
Reintroduce opposing team join when a squad is full
Add a “join any available team” toggle
Improve queue prioritization and responsiveness for party-based joins
Consider adding Strikepoint to Portal/custom servers to support organized play
We’re sharing this out of respect for the franchise and a desire to see it thrive. These changes would meaningfully improve player retention and the social experience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
