Hardcore mode for veterans and those who prefer simulation
Hi DICE / EA team, I’ve been a Battlefield player since Bad Company 2 and I deeply value the tactical, immersive experience the franchise has always offered. Hardcore mode—with reduced HUD, one-shot kills, friendly fire, no minimap—was an iconic part of Battlefield’s identity. It’s disappointing that in Battlefield 6 Hardcore is only available through Portal, requiring custom servers and manual setup. Many long-time fans (including myself) just want to queue into a standard Hardcore playlist via matchmaking, like in BF3 and BF4. A simple option at the start of matchmaking—"Standard" vs "Hardcore"—would let new players join the normal mode, while veterans could select what they know and love. This choice doesn’t harm anyone and addresses both audiences fairly. Portal cannot replace matchmaking: lack XP progression, and aren’t easily discoverable. Access to Hardcore via matchmaking would revitalize competitive play and honor Battlefield’s legacy. Please consider adding an official Hardcore playlist to standard matchmaking. Many fans have voiced similar concerns and would greatly appreciate such a feature. Thank you for listening.
URGENT: Content Creator's GW2 Account Sabotaged by "Level 46" Hack. Help!
My Garden Warfare 2 account was subjected to a targeted hack that has left me unable to access multiplayer. Starting around 23:50 Beijing Time on the 27th and continuing for about two hours until the end of my livestream, I returned from a multiplayer match to the Backyard only to find all my character levels had been abnormally reset to "46." Additionally, two unauthorized "313 Level Reward Sticker Packs" appeared in my Sticker Shop. Since then, I've been completely locked out of multiplayer. During the session, I initially played on Asian servers but encountered a "lobby switcher" hack in the very first match (as seen in my stream recording BV1R4sSz5EaG). I then switched to the West Americas servers, where I played for about an hour and a half without noticeable issues—until returning to the Backyard around 01:16 Beijing Time on the 28th, when the damage became apparent. The "Level 46" reset is a known unofficial method used by hackers as a form of retaliation or "account blocking," previously observed in community-led anti-cheat efforts. It is extremely unfortunate that I have now become a target of this malicious act. If we choose to look away today, when disaster strikes us tomorrow, there will be no one left to speak up for us. My channel on Bilibili (https://space.bilibili.com/39507722) has been dedicated to creating gameplay videos and reviews for the Plants vs. Zombies series since 2016, primarily focusing on the original PvZ and Garden Warfare 2. To date, my videos have accumulated over 4.366 million total views across the platform. My most popular Garden Warfare 2 reviews—featuring the Peashooter and Foot Soldier—have reached 162,000 and 124,000 views respectively. Through my content, I've helped attract tens of thousands of new players to the game, and I’ve built a meaningful presence within the Chinese PvZ community. I've also contributed to the development of a well-known "PvZ1-2 hybrid Pak" mod in China—a project that many players recognize. I have poured my heart into supporting this game and its community. It would be devastating if all these efforts were cut short by a malicious hack. I sincerely hope that EA does not overlook a dedicated creator like me. This incident occurred in the early hours of October 28th, Beijing Time. To support my case, I have included the live stream recording from that day. The video evidence clearly shows my account was functioning normally prior to the incident and can help identify the malicious activity. I strongly urge you to review it: （https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1R4sSz5EaG）
Add a server browser
DICE, please add a server browser. I cannot find matches in my region(India). I am just stuck on the waiting for players screen and the match never starts or there are only 20-30 players in a match. Please keep in mind this is the case even when crossplay is on. I want to play on EU servers but can’t do it unless a server browser is implemented. Please consider this request as you are already implementing some missing features from previous battlefield’s according to today’s details. Unless a server browser is implemented I cannot play BF2042.
Controversial Topic, but... Female Soldiers.
I'd like to start by saying I hope we can all be adults here while going through this topic. Two ideas can exist simultaneously, and those for me are that I have respect for women who serve or want to serve in frontline combat roles while at the same time I don't think they should. I believe that the capacity for violence and the burden put on those who commit it should be relegated to men. The ability to make war is a terrible yet necessary thing and when it comes down to it, men are simply more naturally inclined to be better at it and have a greater desire to do it. The entire basis of human nature is structured on men doing whatever is necessary to protect women and children. I obviously know that there are some who disagree with me here, but I also know that there are many who agree. There is also absolutely nothing misogynistic or sexist about these views, and it's okay to say that. People who hold this opinion don't believe any silly nonsense like "women are inferior" or anything like that, we simply believe that men and women are different and that's okay. So, why do I say all of this and why am I bringing up a topic that I know is going to be so controversial? I do it because I would like to ask Dice and EA to give us the ability to toggle female soldiers. I'm sorry if this offends some, but I'm sure some agree with me; I just don't want to play a war game with women in it. I don't want to hear women shouting as they're dying, I don't want to be firing at women, I just don't like it. I know there are women in combat roles in the modern age (though they are very few and far between), but it also still breaks the immersive experience to me. The most obviously egregious example of this was Battlefield V, and we all know how that controversy went. I hope that the world is in a more mature place to discuss something like this now and I feel like a toggle that gives everybody the option to play how they want isn't asking for too much. I'd also like to make it clear that I don't feel the same way about women in the military in general. I believe they definitely can excel in plenty of other roles such as in aviation, communication, command; it's just the frontline combat roles, which is what Battlefield is all about. And for my female gamers out there who enjoy these games, I think that's great and I want you to feel like you belong. These opinions have no relation to the idea of female gamers. Battlefield is a communal experience but at the same time is an individual experience for each of us who play. I know that after the madness of the last decade or so it's difficult to speak up on topics like this but I hope those who feel the same way aren't afraid to anymore. I know some would be offended and that we would get all of the articles from the "big" gaming outlets that no one cares about anymore but I hold out hope that with Dice and EA doing so much right on this game that maybe they'll have the guts to ignore the loud minority on something like this. I have full confidence that in the moment we're in a decision like this would not impact sales of a game that is shaping up to be so good. Even implementation after launch would be great. I hope that this is allowed to be posted here and that EA doesn't flag it as inappropriate or anything like that. For anyone who reads or engages with it, I appreciate your time.
