Battlefield 6 was destroyed by updates

I am a huge battlefield fan and veteran since bf3. I looked forward for BF6 a lot and this game didn't disappoint me. I even upgraded my pc to play smoother, but since december this game feels broken and unplayable. The netcode is so inconsistent (sometimes, enemies are unkillable, even tho i hitted them 4 times with a 25 damage weapon). I get killed A LOT behind walls and I experience a lot of game-breaking bugs. 

For example:

- Phantom Edition recon skin is broken, I can't see my hands
- can't type in chat, i need to spam enter multiple times to be able to type in chat
- if i edit my loadout or press esc while im KO, i won't be able to either respawn or get revived. I have to exit the match and rejoin

and some other minor stuff.

This post is not a simple bug report. I want to raise awareness about the state of this beautiful game. After every update, the game feels more broken, more inconsistent, and way less fun. Matches are full of people who clearly have a better hitreg (somehow) and my KD has worsened (somehow, because i'm still the same as two weeks ago). 

I'm sick of all the people who lay on their back in an angle and are nearly invisible. I'm sick of the hits i miss for no reason.

Rollback to dayone BF6, please. You managed to do a great game, but you are destroying everything you worked hard for. This is not the battlefield i wished to play during my holidays.

    For me the game hasn't gotten worse by the updates, but it hasn't really improved fundamentally either.

    Dice updated the audio and it was an improvement, but the sound is still totally broken (silent vehicles/footsteps/gunfire/general sound effects, awful directionality etc).

    The netcode/desync is just BF, it has never really improved much. In 2026, it feels just as bad as BF4 (which is 12 years old by now) and TTD/TTK inconsitencies has been "discussed to death" since BFV, without any meaningful improvements - even though Dice has acknowledged the problem several times. It is very disappointing that Dice cannot improve this.

    We also still have a lot of movement issues (getting stuck, vaulting inconsitant etc), which has been a problem in earlier titles as well. Small annoying issues, that should have been sorted a long time ago. 

    Spawning can also be pretty awful sometimes, again an issue that have been "haunting" BF-games for a long time.

    Visibility is a total joke and this has also been an issue in older titles (BFV was really bad). Their 'sovis'-solution is not really helping much, the game has fundamental lighting issues (inside/outside) and the colors used for uniforms blend too well into the environment. Form before function is a big issue. 

    There is a lot of other issues, like sniper-balancing, bad map-design etc etc.

    I still think BF6 is the best BF-game since BF4 (most fun), but it still has a lot of 'legacy issues' which unfortunately makes the game frustrating to play. If Dice wants a healthy player-base they need to fix these fundamental issues, otherwise people gets annoyed and goes somewhere else.
