Consistent Team Assignment to Attacking Side When Loading in First
I would like to report a potential team assignment issue in Battlefield 6.
My friends and I have noticed a consistent pattern where we are placed on the attacking side in probably over 90% of the matches we play.
This has been happening repeatedly ever since we started playing the game on release and does not appear to be random.
In most cases, we seem to be among the first players to fully load into a newly created lobby, and whenever this happens, we are always assigned to the attacking team.
On the rare occasions when we are placed on the defending side, we join a match that already has players in it.
Based on this, I suspect that team assignment may be influenced by loading time, queue order, or the order in which players enter a server, most likely the latter.
It seems that the first players to join a new lobby are automatically placed on the attacking side.
If this is the case, it would mean team selection is not functioning in a fully randomized or balanced way. Team assignment should ideally be independent of load speed or queue position to ensure fair distribution between attacking and defending sides.
I've seen others say that they have experienced this as well, both in game, and on the forums.
It would be good to see this resolved as I find it to be a rather big issue, only being able to play the game on one side.
