“Test Your Mettle” Achievement Now Unobtainable – Please Consider a Fix
Hi EA team, I’m reaching out regarding the “Test Your Mettle” achievement in Battlefield Hardline. Since the official servers have been shut down, this achievement has become unobtainable, as it relies on online features no longer accessible. Many completionists and fans of the Battlefield series are disappointed, as this prevents 100% completion of the game. I kindly ask that you consider issuing a fix or workaround for this achievement, such as unlocking it automatically or adjusting the criteria so it can be completed another way. Battlefield Hardline still holds a place in many players' hearts, and addressing this issue would mean a lot to the community. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards
Battlefield 6 - No to SBMM and YES to Server Browser
Been a huge fan of the Battlefield Franchise since I first started to play Battlefield 3 back in 2011. Ever since then I have purchased every Battlefield Game, DLC Pack and what have you and and almost exclusively played only Battlefield. Before this I was a COD player. COD never attracted me back once I got in on the Battlefield Sandbox and begun to play the game as part of a squad, choosing which class I was going to be based on what was happening in the game and how I could react to this to help my team and squad out. One of the great things I liked about it too was that every game was not the same because of the Sandbox, squad and class experience. If I was playing for a couple of hours, I don't think that I ever felt that I played the same round twice in that they played out differently every time, even if I was with the same squad and on the same map. Now that BF6 or whatever the new Battlefield will be called is coming closer to releasing, I hope some things from these older BF games come back. One of these is the Server Browser and Persistent Servers. Recently I have begun playing BF4 again consistently. It is great to see the old Server Browser there and being able to pick a game mode and series of maps that I want to play that are not like Portals 1000% Hardcore servers. Just normal BF with good maps and rotations. Being able to change my region and filter by ping has also been fantastic. I really hope that the new BF6 brings this back, or somehow splits it with Portal. Maybe portal has two options, Server Browser with Persistent Servers and then the custom side which we all get to make our own games in. With the launch of BF2042 we saw that there was no Server Browser and that what we got instead was Match Making. MM has been a big pain for a lot of reasons. We cant pick what map we want to play, we cant see what map is coming up next, if we load into a map we don't want to play we have to exit out and then try MM again which sometimes loads us back into the same map. There is no region filter or ping filter. A lot of the time MM can not happen because there are not enough people to start the game in my region (Australia) and this MM saga goes round and round. This all takes a lot of time and ruins the gaming experience, ultimately damaging the franchise. Which isn't good for us players or the BF franchise either. The second thing I would not like to see happen is Skill Based Match Making come into BF6. We all see and hear people complain about SBMM in the COD community. It's a little bit in Delta Force now as well and people are complaining that they are getting loaded into lobbies with bad ping because of their skill and all sorts. IMO SBMM would kill the next BF if it is brought in. Like everything, the more you do something the better you get at it. There are some guy's that spends hours and hours just practicing sniping, or flying choppers and they are elite at it. Part of the BF experience is the cannon fodder, is learning the classes, the weapons and their attachments, the various vehicle setups and maps. This is what contributes massively to the sandbox environment IMO. It's because of all these variables as well as other players, that makes every game different. If SBMM is brought in, then I feel we will loose that experience and pretty soon, every game will start to feel the same and turn into a sweaty grindfest which looses all those cool quirky BF moments. Anyhow, it's something I have been thinking about for a while. Thought I would share it and see what others thought or felt about the same two issues.

Da veterano di Battlefield, non vedo l'ora di mettere le mani sul nuovo capitolo. Sto iniziando a preparare il tutto per aprire un nuovo canale YouTube, in cui pubblicherò video gameplay dei vecchi capitoli Battlefield, recensioni, aggiornamenti sul nuovo capitolo e tant'altro. Ho sempre sognato di far parte di questa community. Oltretutto qui sul forum cercherò di aiutare più persone possibili per rafforzare la community e farli sentire a loro agio dopo aver risolto i loro problemi. Mi sono sempre soffermato a guardare video, leggere recensioni e giocare, ma da oggi voglio dare il mio contributo alla community, soprattutto a EA, che merita tanto, porterò contenuti rivoluzionari, sia di editing che di contenuti, ho studiato nel tempo cosa potrebbe piacere alle persone, e non vedo l'ora di condividere tutto quello che ho in mente per tutti i videogiocatori del mondo di EA. Vi aggiornerò nelle prossime settimane ❤️
CONSOLES / MOUSE AND KEYBOARD SUPPORT for New battlefield 2025
Hello! Here I am referring to the discussion about mouse and keyboard support on consoles for the new battlefield that is currently in the works. With great hope and fear that this time EA and DICE will do whatever it takes to get support on consoles because over 10,000 players signed a petition for 2042 and NOTHING HAPPENED. With the CROSS PLAY option, every game deserves to have this support. What is your opinion on this? I personally have my doubts about it. Can DICE or EA tell us anything about this?
🇲🇽📡 Request: Mexico Hosted Battlefield Servers for LATAM
To EA/DICE and fellow Battlefield players in Latin America, We are calling on EA/DICE to add official Battlefield servers in Mexico to serve players across Mexico and the LATAM North region (including Central America and U.S. border states). Right now, players in this region are forced to connect to distant servers such as San Jose, Dallas, Miami, or Brazil. The extra distance and routing reduce match responsiveness and consistency an issue other major titles have already solved by adding servers in Mexico. Why this matters: Higher latency impacts hit registration, reaction speed, and overall match quality. Many players leave matches or disengage from the game entirely due to avoidable connection issues. Players in Mexico should enjoy the same low‑latency experience that their neighbors across the border already have. Why Mexico is the right location: A server cluster in Mexico City would improve network performance for LATAM North players. It would relieve pressure on San Jose, Dallas, and Brazil servers, benefiting all regions. Other competitive titles (Valorant, LoL, CS2, PUBG Mobile) have added Mexico‑based servers and grown their player counts as a result. How you can help: Reply with your city/state and platform. Share screenshots of your in‑game network graph or Origin/Steam overlay. Post this thread on social media with #BattlefieldMex and tag EA/DICE community managers. Let’s make this the central hub for LATAM North players to be heard. With enough voices and evidence here, this request will be impossible to ignore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Para EA/DICE y jugadores de Battlefield en América Latina: Solicitamos a EA/DICE que agregue servidores oficiales de Battlefield en México para dar servicio a jugadores de México y la región de LATAM Norte (incluyendo Centroamérica y estados fronterizos de EE. UU.). Actualmente, los jugadores de esta región deben conectarse a servidores lejanos como San José, Dallas, Miami o Brasil. La distancia adicional y el enrutamiento afectan la respuesta y consistencia en las partidas un problema que otros títulos importantes ya han resuelto añadiendo servidores en México. Por qué esto importa: Una latencia más alta afecta el registro de disparos, la velocidad de reacción y la calidad general de las partidas. Muchos jugadores abandonan o dejan de participar por problemas de conexión que podrían evitarse. Los jugadores en México deberían disfrutar de la misma experiencia de baja latencia que tienen sus vecinos al otro lado de la frontera. Por qué México es la ubicación adecuada: Un clúster de servidores en Ciudad de México mejoraría el rendimiento de red para la región de LATAM Norte. Aliviaría la carga en los servidores de San José, Dallas y Brasil, beneficiando a todas las regiones. Otros juegos competitivos (Valorant, LoL, CS2, PUBG Mobile) ya cuentan con servidores en México y han visto crecer su base de jugadores. Cómo puedes ayudar: Responde con tu ciudad/estado y plataforma. Comparte capturas de tu gráfico de red en el juego o de la superposición de Origin/Steam. Difunde este hilo en redes sociales con #BattlefieldMex y etiqueta a los community managers de EA/DICE. Hagamos de este el punto central para que los jugadores de LATAM Norte sean escuchados. Con suficientes voces y evidencia aquí, será imposible ignorar esta solicitud.
Comeback of Battlelog?
I want to start an open discussion about what was good or bad about Battlelog and what could be improved if EA/DICE would decide if they would implement a new Version of Battlelog now. Thinking back to the Battlog times, sure it wasn't all great, as it usually is with EA, but if im seeing these Main Menus with big icons, a **bleep**ton of animation so that it doesn't even run smoothly and stutters through those animations... i cant help to look back fondly to Webbrowser Battlelog. Is it nostalgia or not, i'll let the community decide. Maybe in todays day and age they could put something better together. Let the discussion begin😇
