Infantry Conquest
Why? (rant incoming) I get the appeal of no vehicles but another mode for the slowest most boring mode in the entire game is baffling. Breakthrough Chaos, though not as good as Breakthrough Mayhem, gives a unique and fast paced element . If you're gonna do an infantry only conquest mode then just do the smallest maps. Look how popular Redacted only Conquest modes in portal are. What a waste of time. It doesn't have a minimum player start count from what I've seen and the way matchmaking is in BF, I can see 5 matches in a region or more going with less than 10 players vs bots most the time. How is this good for the player experience, not the newer ones, but us who've played the game for years and stuck around despite its flaws? I am a Breakthrough player all day but once in a while go conquest when Break is slow. I expect to find matches full of players and I doubt we will see much of that this week. Regular conquest will likely be more popular which is fair but many still deal with a blackscreen match issue for conquest or breakthrough or both but oddly the weekly rotational modes don't seem to be effected. Enough with the rotation of modes and have a poll each week, going the whole week for players to vote and decide the following weeks special mode. DICE might actually learn something about what players want this way.
Australian culture-use of the word 'Bananabender'
Quote AI Overview Banana bender A "banana bender" is an Australian slang term for a person who lives in or is a native of the state of Queensland. The term is a humorous, sometimes derogatory, reference to the state’s large banana-growing industry, implying Queenslanders spend their time putting the bend into straight bananas. [1, 2, 3] Key Aspects of the Term: • Origin: The term dates back to at least 1937, with records confirming its use for Queenslanders by 1940. It stems from the stereotype of Queensland being "bananaland". • Context: It is largely considered an affectionate or funny nickname, rather than a deeply offensive insult. • Related Terms: Queensland is sometimes referred to as "bananaland" and the Queensland border as the "banana curtain". • Alternative Name: People from Queensland are also sometimes called "Bananalanders". [1, 2, 3] The term is widely recognized across Australia, particularly by residents of southern states referring to Queenslanders, and is a staple of Australian slang. [1, 2], EA forced an Australian using the tag: "Bananabender", to change their username, because some person decided to 'take offence' at the name. All I can say is EA did not research the meaning of 'bananabender.Search the Australian National University - School of Literature and Linguistics - Type in - bananabender'. It gives you this definition: banana bender A Queenslander. The term derives from the joking notion (as perceived from the southern states of Australia) that Queenslanders spend their time putting bends into bananas. An article from 15 July 1937 in the Queenslander provides a forerunner to the term when a man is asked by the Queen what his occupation is: "I'm a banana-bender". Further to enlighten her Majesty he explained that bananas grew straight on the trees, and so just before they ripened, his was the job to mount the ladder, and with a specialised twist of the wrist, put into the fruit the Grecian bend that was half its charm. The association of bananas with Queensland ('banana land') is based on the extensive banana-growing industry in tropical Queensland. The Queensland border has been called the Banana curtain and Brisbane has been called Banana city. Banana bender, in reference to a Queenslander, is first recorded in 1940 and is till commonly heard. 1964 D. Lockwood Up the Track: We are so close to Queensland that I think we should hop over the border. What do you say to a quick look at the banana-benders? 2011 Northern Star (Lismore) 11 July: Should the Matilda's [sic] have won last night or the Netball Diamonds see off New Zealand, Anna Bligh will doubtless claim it was due to the preponderance of banana benders in the squads or at the very least the result of a Gold Coast holiday during their formative years. EA - reinstate the player you banned. As a Queenslander (FYI for you Americans - Queensland is a state in Australia. Australia is an indepentant soverign country with our own culture) your decision insulted me and I want an apology!
BF2042. Unable to load into matches.
When I try to enter a match, it finds me, then there's a black screen and I'm thrown out into the lobby. But at the same time, other modes are loading. Can you help me to fix it?

Bring back 64-player Conquest & Close Quarters Conquest in BF2042
128-player Conquest is too chaotic：Too many players, vehicles, and overcrowded objectives ruin the classic Battlefield infantry/vehicle balance. Many players, including me, prefer the tactical, focused 64-player experience that BF2042 previously offered. Close Quarters Conquest was extremely popular：It provided fast-paced, intense infantry combat on smaller maps, which was a fan favorite and filled a key niche in the game. Removing it reduced variety and player engagement. Community demand is clear：Countless players have requested these modes return across forums, social media, and in-game feedback. Restoring them will improve player retention, satisfaction, and overall enjoyment. Please add 64-player Conquest and Close Quarters Conquest as permanent, official quick-play options (not just Portal or limited-time). This will make BF2042 feel complete and true to the Battlefield legacy.
Get rid of the bots
The bots aren't helpful at all and are distracting when trying to distinguish them from real players in chaotic situations. Every time I start shooting at a bot not knowing it's one, I get melted by a real player. I'd rather have a game of 10 vs 10 of real players instead of filled with bots. Not to mention, they're obviously easier to kill and can throw a whole game off.
Is there any way i could reset my account?
Progression is fun, and i know there is not going to be any atemps in inplementing any "Prestige" to encourage people to do everything all again. so, any way i could like, ask someone in EA to do a acount reset? (i have killed so many bots, my name is full of shame)[BF2042][Official Conquest] Received a magazine as in BF Hardline
It was an awesome surprise to me: On Casipan Border Conquest, while reloading my M16A3 with PB Heavy Suppressor attached, my Blasco received a magazine as in BF Hardline. Look as someone was throwing a mag to me, i catched it and reloaded the weapon. Sadly this surprisingly event was too quick to take a screenshot. Great stuff. Please add (and please re-add) more QoL into BF2042 :)
