We need a solo v/s bot mode (without XP, to avoid XP farming)
My suggestion: Battlefield 6 is good. It will be better if casual players like me get a PvE bot-only mode that can be played solo with and against bots. Unlike "Casual Breakthrough", this mode should have no other human players. It should have all the current maps and battle systems like breakthrough, conquest, and rush. To avoid XP farming: This mode may have its own weapon mastery development system but without rank progression. The weapon-and-attachment unlocks made in this mode will NOT reflect in multiplayer against human players. That way, XP farming will be completely avoided. (On the contrary, unlocks made in PvP multiplayer may reflect in this mode.) Let the game stay online during this time, I don't mind. Why such a mode should exist: (1) This way, casual players can play casually and the sweats can be sweats without getting in each other's way. That's a win for evrybody. (2) Many casual players like me simply want to enjoy the game in our own way. We want the game to be fun, not yet another competition we have to get into. (3) Some of us (like me) sincerely try to develop our skills by getting into PvP multipayer. But that becomes impossible when we get killed in a fraction of a second each time an opponent appears on the screen. The need for balanced mathmaking in each team means we have to face everyone from novice to experts in the other team; and we end up becoming easy targets for the experts. Without a gradual learning curve, the game becomes unenjoyable. Besides, most of us have full-time work and we simply don't have the time needed to develop those skills. Instead, we would just like to have a fun time. Please consider my request. This game will be absolutely fantastic if the developers create such a mode. Thank you.Very happy I didn’t buy this game
Like the title says, glad I was able to save my 70$. Shame on you EA for once again tarnishing the legacy of such a great franchise. And to think that this was the company that produced such great titles like Battlefield 3, 4 and BC2. You people literally released an unfinished campaign that looks like it was wrote by the people who make CBS soap operas. You made the assault class completely useless. Instead of making the assault class like the past games where it fit best you had to reinvent the wheel and completely made the class useless. You’ve shoved the closed weapons system to the side. You’ve gender locked the best classes to women so the whole battlefield sounds like a labor and delivery unit. Are the pink haired feminists in charge over there at DICE? You’re already starting to backtrack on your “keeping it grounded” statement with ridiculous skins. I’m a battlefield fan so I keep up with these things! But I’m glad I didn’t fall for your bait and switch tactics yet again. 2042 was the last game I will ever be tricked into buying. Congrats on your success, hope it was worth it by pissing on the legacy of Battlefield.
Regarding KD statistics, and when will tracer rounds be available for firearms?
I want to see my actual player-versus-player KD ratio, not a distorted one that includes AI kills. But it seems KD also tracks Portal mode of kills AI.🤕 Anyway, When will weapon skins featuring exclusive tracer effects and special gunfire sound effects be released? Similar to the special effects skins in Call of Duty (P.S. Of course, this is just wishful thinking on my part. Other Battlefield players might not want to see such flashy effects on a realistic battlefield.😂)
Near 100 hours in, this isn't Battlefield.
Prefix: I have played every battlefield game since bc2 and even got premium on release for bf3 and bf4 and gave thousands of hours to the franchise. Where to start. It started ok, the game felt great at first, looked the part, I couldn't put it down but then little things started to stack up. The slide, it is horrible and should not be in a battlefield game, yesterday a guy went from standing still to sliding across my screen, like really, that is pure dog mess. People sliding round corners and looking in your direction and you are dead, I'm also convinced the hit box for sliding is broken. The maps are basically scaled up moba maps, gotta control those lanes. Closed weapons completely abandoned, this has infuriated me, the only saving grace is that I have started playing domination because it is less lane focused. Weapon balance is a mess, smg out performing assault rifles at mid ranges, I used the mp7 for a bit and it is a laser at mid range and despite its damage, the fire rate melts, that is just one example. Attachments have just been given random attributes regardless of what the attachment is, like bipods increasing hipfire, zero effort went into them. Explosives are weak, very weak, you put 3 sticks of c3 next to someone's head and you suppress them, really? I stuck 3 c3 on the back of a tank and did 25 damage.... Suppression is implemented horribly. Stats, what stats? The amount of stats available in game is embarrassing, let me see how many kills I got with this gun, nah, let me see how tags I've taken, nah. Stats are a great way to look at what you need to improve. Redsec and the battlepass.... These 2 should of been their own thing far away from the main game. The game came out looking like an authentic modern day military shooter but now its a clown show, bright yellows greens and reds everywhere, then you have it where any class can equip the same skin and who is in charge of designing these skins? look at the pax vanguard pack, the skins look OK but then its like dice let a 5 year old loose on them. That should not have been attached to the main game go run around redsec dressed like a road worker or a paintball enthusiast if you want but that should not be in the main game. The takedowns are still bad, still fails 90% of the time unless you stare precisely at the back of someone's head, and you can't takedown crouched enemies, the takedown system is rubbish. Mini map spotting is a half measure, when you see someone on the mini map there is a high chance you will die if you try engage them, this is because it lacks the directional arrow showing the way they are facing. I'm actually annoyed I bought the game, its not battlefield, its a clown show. I've held off on sharing these annoyances and tried to give the game time, but its getting worse and worse. The base game and traditional modes are going to become unbearable if playable at all (rip closed weapons) due to the stupid sliding and the clown skins. Battlefield used to be an immersive experience, now you can't get immersed when the guy next to you looks like he got attacked by neon yellow tape or people slide along the ground from a standing position. This is a 2042 reskin in every single way and it is disgusting. I would try to offer suggestions and stuff but I don't think anyone at dice or ea cares so I won't bother.
The Portal XP Nerf and the Betrayal of "Full Progression" - Targeted Solutions
Hello everyone, I am extremely disappointed, and I know I'm not alone, with the decision to drastically reduce XP progression and unlocks on PVE Portal servers. This reversal, just days after launch, is a massive blow to the community and directly contradicts the promises made about the Portal feature. 1. The Broken Promise of "Full Progression" Portal was introduced as the ultimate sandbox, guaranteeing full progression regardless of the mode chosen. This was one of the biggest selling points for a large segment of the player base. The current implementation severely penalizes players who simply want to enjoy the PVE experience, learn new weapons, or progress at their own pace without the pressure of PVP. 2. The Nerf Solved Nothing and Punishes Honest Players The rush to "fix" XP farming has not resolved the underlying issue and has caused collateral damage: The Problem is the System, Not the Players: The initial XP farms were a predictable consequence of the tool. The fact that the server capacity issue is still prevalent shows that the XP nerf was a misguided attempt to mask a systemic infrastructure problem, not a solution to farming. Ineffective Measure: The XP farm servers are still over-capacity or have simply adapted to the new restrictions. Legitimate PVE players, however, are now left with a pointless grind. 3. This Drastic Nerf Will Kill Portal Ultimately, this broad nerf will do far more harm than good by killing the incentive to play the mode for the vast majority of users. Why would players spend time in Portal when their time spent is no longer respected by the progression system? Good community maps and genuinely fun PVE experiences will not be played under these conditions. Progression is the engine of engagement. By throttling it globally, you ensure that Portal, one of the game's key selling points, becomes a deserted ghost mode. Proposed Solutions: Restore Trust and Progression Instead of penalizing everyone, we urge the development team to adopt a multi-pronged approach that restores the promised progression for legitimate PVE play while seriously monitoring abuse. A. Restore Legitimate PVE Progression Re-enable Full XP on Official Game Modes: Progression (Full XP, Weapon Masters, Unlocks) must be fully restored for Portal experiences based on the official game types, even with AI bots filling the slots (i.e., Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough, Escalation, Team Deathmatch, FFA, and King of the Hill), in both Normal and Hardcore settings. Reinstate Solo/Co-op Mode: The dedicated Solo/Co-op vs. AI mode should be restored to Full Progression. This is the intended way for players to chill, learn the maps, and progress their unlocks without any impact on the live server environment. B. Target Abusers, Not the Community Serious Monitoring of Abusive Experiences: Implement active and immediate monitoring to identify and de-list or restrict XP only on custom servers that clearly use exploitative or non-conventional rule changes (e.g., 1-HP bots, instant respawns, AFK loop setups). Re-evaluate Unlock Requirements: Acknowledging the slow pace of unlocks, some Tier 1 requirements and attachments are currently an excessive "grind fest." Please take this opportunity to re-evaluate the requirements to make the core progression path less frustrating, reducing the incentive for players to seek out farming exploits in the first place. This community bought the game based on the promise of Portal's freedom and "full progression." We need you to deliver on that promise with targeted, effective solutions, not a blanket nerf that harms your loyal players. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Controller vs MKB?
As far as I know there will be some tweakings for the controller aim assist in the future. Question is: Can we get input based matchmaking? So controller plays against controller and MKB vs MKB? This should avoid any trouble like advantages, too weak or too strong aim assist against MKB and so on there are many advantages and disadvantages to fix. For now we only got crossplay on and off on playstations maybe you could enable it on PC too.
Battlefield 6 Bot removal Protest
Ladies and gentlemen in the Battlefield 6 production team and in the community itself, I am a 50 year old man who has bought BF6 for 70 euros after considering and talking about it with my oldest son. The reason I bought BF6 was because, old and hard working as I am, never being able to compete with all the experienced and extremely fast young people out there, there is the option to play against bots. I was having so much fun and was so pleased playing all the modes and upgrading on my own (slowly and handicapped because of my age and decreasing eyesight). I bet there are many, many people out there that have the same condition as me, or worse and are also, like myself, very disappointed and feeling robbed of their money by this just ridiculous and antisocial action. The game has been ruined totally for me! I recommend everybody, also people who dont play against bots to file in an error report in the ea app or through steam. Update Error:Bring back the bots! Standalone, upgrading outside of human vs human multiplayer. This "update" is antisocial towards the community, I have no other word for it. I feel robbed of my 70 euros, cant even ask for a refund. Antisocial!
Dear EA/DICE: You’re Losing the Battlefield Community
Dear Developers, I want to start by saying that I honestly wish I didn’t have to write this post. I’m writing this as someone who’s genuinely sad and frustrated. It’s obvious that EA wanted to attract CoD players — and at first, I completely understood that and had no problem with it. My first impressions from the Beta were great, I was truly hyped, pre-ordered the Phantom Edition, and couldn’t wait for October 10th. Today I’m level 110, and I think it’s finally time to share my thoughts. I’ve been playing Battlefield for around 15 years, and my favorite will always be BF2 (RIP GameSpy). Well… we definitely got a product aimed at CoD players — but in the worst possible way. The TTK and TTD are absolutely miserable, the 4-player party limit is a joke, forced operator choices feel out of place, and there’s NO SERVER BROWSER! How can the lead producer say we don’t need one? I honestly thought it was a joke at first — and that the community feedback would be heard — but nothing ever happened. Matchmaking is a disaster. Every second match I play is completely unbalanced. There’s no option to pick the attacking or defending side without disconnecting and reconnecting a dozen times until it finally puts me where I want to be. This problem used to be handled by server admins through the browser — they helped keep matches fair and balanced. And don’t even get me started on the challenges. They’re an absolute pain to complete. I honestly don’t know if they were designed by an AI or by someone who’s never actually played the game, but they’re a complete tragedy. The overall pace of the game is way too fast, leaving almost no time for proper teamplay, even when you actually try to play tactically with friends. The gameplay experience feels on par with BF2042 — but ironically, that game still had more freedom. I honestly get the feeling that the developers haven’t played this game for more than 20 minutes… or worse, that this is intentional — which would be really sad and could bury the entire franchise. What also really disappoints me is the complete lack of developer feedback here on the forums. I understand you can’t respond to every single post, but it would be basic respect to at least address some of the hot topics here. Right now the community feels unheard, like our frustration just keeps piling up and EA leadership simply doesn’t care. Maps, maps, maps… This topic has already been brought up several times — and yeah, I wouldn’t say the maps are terrible, but they are really, really small and focused entirely on running and shooting with no sense of tactics whatsoever. As for the bugs, I’m still patient for now. We’re only in the first season, and I know updates will come — bugs happen in every game at launch. That said, I did expect a bit more polish for a 100€ title, but I can still understand it… for now. To end on a more positive note — the graphics are absolutely beautiful. I just wish we could enjoy this amazing world with more freedom, playing the way players want to play, not the way we’re being forced to. Please, developers — take a little time to listen to what players here on the forums are saying and what’s frustrating them. Otherwise, this could genuinely bury the whole franchise. Thank you for your time.
