Hopes for Battlefield 6
Map designs and visuals in BF5 are excellent!
Here is for my hopes for BF6 later this year in October.
Map layout keeps following the same formula of choke points like COD for clusterfk skirmishes. So hoping in BF6 as a modern setting it will reinforce more low and high level terrain for cover to cover movement and buildings too between attackers and defenders.
1. In a real battlefield soldiers do not run in the open landscape to be shot like fish in a barrel. OK maybe in WW1 and WW2 this was the case fair enough for some battles. But not in a modern war setting.
There are some jungle maps in BF5 that actually give cover as you're pushing, otherwise players just camp in the back and just play for KD.
BF2 Bad Company Vietnam was a stealth dream in guerilla warfare.
2. Make the smoke grenades bigger radius, carry more and last longer to give confidence for attackers in objective based modes to push. BF2 BC2 smoke spam was my weapon of choice in attacking
It seems alot more fun to defend than to attack in objective based modes. Short TTK and running back to frontline is tiresome for attackers to the point the battefield is scattered with spawn beacons to avoid the grind running back. Being a defender means you're all grouped strong already and attackers just trickle in one by one and don't coordinate to push at same time.
3. Let us die quicker. We know a medic is not coming, just one tap insta accept death instead of waiting for revive and just use the countdown to check map for tactics and choose another spawn point in readiness, instead of watching dying sequence.
4. Encourage team play by giving massively more points/XP over team actions such as revive, heal, ammo drop, objectives and less points for kills. Hide KD in scoreboard until post match to avoid people being distracted on their performance and focus on the objective.
5. Most amazing feature. BattleLog Map. Remember when you just needed any browser based device and you can have a dedicated screen of map showing friendly unit movements. So if PC you could make use of 2nd monitor. Consoles you can achieve same thing with a PC and separate monitor.

6. Set to allow team switching manually but only if other team has less players.
7. Mandatory 2FA required to login every time you want to play via SMS verification or an authenticator App tied to a mobile number to provide code. Once you're banned than any account associated with that mobile numer is blacklisted for new accounts. It is alot more hassle for subscription cheaters to keep buying new numbers and it is not free. Do not allow 2FA via email as that is free and easy to create another one in minutes. Yes it is alot of hassle for honest players to keep using 2FA to play, but its worth it and also important for security as well.
