Rogue-like Destruction: Every Battlefield Match Feels Truly Unique
Hey soldiers, Battlefield has never just been about shooting — it’s about feeling war on a grand scale. Remember the skyscraper collapsing in BF4? Or that RPG hitting the bridge on Seine Crossing? Destruction wasn’t just pretty. It was proof something big happened there. Now, with Battlefield Labs and future titles, destruction is back — but often just for visuals. I want to propose something different: Destruction as gameplay. Destruction as story. Destruction as a rogue-like system. What’s the idea? Each match randomly selects a set of destructible sectors. These are designed beforehand, but only some are active per round. So in one match, you can destroy a building to create a flanking path. In another, that building stands solid — and you need to adapt. This gives variety, unpredictability, and player-driven chaos. You’re not just playing the same map again. You’re fighting through something new. How it evolves: At the start, destruction is limited. As the match progresses, more destructible sectors become active. By the endgame, players unlock the potential to reshape the battlefield in dramatic ways. This pacing avoids early-match spam and builds tension. It rewards teams that survive long enough to "earn the ruin." The world reacts: Environmental events like storms, earthquakes, artillery, and more could influence destruction too. Not just visual effects — real impact. A tornado might collapse buildings. Floods might block routes. Earthquakes might open up new flanking tunnels. Maps don’t just react to players — they react to war itself. Examples by biome: Urban: alleys or buildings open or close based on match layout. Desert: sandstorms reduce visibility, collapse structures. Forest: fires spread, floods redirect players. Snow: ice cracks, avalanches cut off areas. Why this makes sense: Players get new tactical situations without needing dozens of new maps. Devs reuse assets in smarter, procedurally randomized ways. It combines what worked in BF4 (Levolution), BF2042 (weather), and classic destruction — but with purpose. Bottom line: Destruction should tell the story of what players did. Not just look cool. Every wall blown up. Every rooftop shattered. Every corner turned into rubble — it should all say: “You survived this war. You changed the battlefield.” That’s Battlefield at its best. Let’s make destruction matter again.
Have you been BANNED!? Read this
Hello Gamers, Here is a quick rundown of what I have tried and what EA is doing right now. I tried appealing, and they would respond with copy-paste replies. No proof of cheating, just that I violated ToS point 6. I submitted a request to the Better Business Bureau, and they used similar copy and paste and closed the ticket eventually. I tried submitting a request to eaprivacy @ ea and dpo @ ea also failed, but they offered more information. I was seriously considering getting an attorney at this point to prove my innocence..... Our anti-cheat technology detected that you used an unauthorized software application that facilitates cheating during one of the sessions identified in the attached file. Players may not use tools like free or commercially available cheat engines and/or specialized scripting software to augment gameplay as this provides them with an unfair advantage and does not foster a fair gaming environment. Our team detected that you are intentionally engaged in “boosting”. Boosting can include win, or kill trading, abusing game features in an unintended manner, or otherwise manipulating in-game systems with or without the collaboration of others to gain an unfair advantage. Our team detected that you engaged in excessive teamkilling. In some game modes, it is possible to kill your teammates – a behavior referred to as “teamkilling.” When this occurs excessively, it prevents the normal flow of gameplay and degrades the game experience of others. Currently here: I went on LinkedIn and messaged three people who had "anticheat at EA" as their job title. They are investigating the whole thing now themselves. I also mentioned that there had been a ton of bans, and it seems strange to me. These bans don't just happen on BF2042 but on multiple EA titles. I mentioned reading the forums on here, on Steam, and Reddit, and I see a ton of people getting. Please upvote this so it stays on the top page, and other users who get banned can see it. UPDATE 1: My ban was overturned this morning! Still don't know what caused it, waiting to hear more, hopefully. UPDATE 2: No information on why I was banned. If you are all still banned, I suggest reaching out to people on LinkedIn because even though support does "re-investigate," they are not fully looking into it. I have tried asking my original contacts to look into other bans, but they just said they forwarded my case to "EA Fancare team." That means an actual person with more skills looked at it. UPDATE 3: Account was banned again, played under 10 games on the weekend, and I find out I was banned again. Look at the UTC times. Something is seriously wrong with their Anti-Cheat. UPDATE 4: I stumbled on this article this morning. Seems like it is still relevant. Reddit post UPDATE 5: Public numbers. General Support (U.S.): +1 (650) 628-1500 (can leave a message after pressing 2) EA Sports Support: +1 (650) 628-1393 (gives busy) UPDATE 6: All of us should try pressing them on X.com @EAHELP or Instagram @EA UPDATE 7: I tried reaching out to more LinkedIn employees, but I had no success. edit: EA ToS employees or EA customer service employees. UPDATE 8: I received an email that my account was unbanned! I sent emails to a new batch LinkedIn users who had EA ToS job descriptions at EA yesterday, but never had correspondence like I did when I did it the first time. edit: randomly selected EA ToS employees (not random) UPDATE 9: RanzigeRidder2 Randomly selected employees at LinkedIn who had EA Tos in their job titles. When I spoke to the people from EA anticheat, they said that they don't handle this, but "ea fancare" does. So it isn't as random as you think. Also, you can see I tried appealing by regular means and that didn't work. When the account was unbanned, I also didn't know why it was banned, so how do I fix the problem of getting banned the first time? UPDATE 10: Let me add to that, approaching the Battlefield community managers. Some of them are active on these boards as well https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/community credit: RanzigeRidder2Which Tier 1 items are you working on?

About Class system for next game
Dear DICE I understand that you see making weapons accessible to all classes as a more suitable approach to help more players adapt to the game. However, weapon options being fixed to specific classes is one of the core foundations that shape the identity of the game. The biggest factor that defines the roles and tactics of classes is the limitation of weapons. From a technical standpoint, this is a mistake, and from a marketing perspective, it is also a misguided strategy. In terms of marketing, the priority should be to protect the core Battlefield community. The core fanbase will always be present in the game. As long as you keep the fan players engaged, the new players will naturally follow once they see an active and lively community. However, if you only focus on new players, it may seem like a good idea at first, but eventually, you’ll see both the core fanbase and the new players decline. This decision is extremely important for the fate of Battlefield. Please reconsider before the release and don’t discourage people by taking away what they love. Restrict weapons so that each class uses a unique set of weapons.
What will EA have to do to earn your trust back?
What will EA HAVE to include in the next Battlefield game for you to trust them again and for you to even contemplate buying it? For example if they say it will have a server browser but bring back specialists? Will you buy it? What is the minimum they will need to include for you to buy the game?
