Let us turn off crossplay!! Why are PC players being forced to crossplay?
Hey, fellow Battlefield OG's, Look, I know this is gonna sound silly, but why are PC players being forced to play with console players? The PS5 has an advanced controller that is giving their players an edge against mouse and keyboard users. The worst part is that EA has decided in their not-so-infinite wisdom not to let you disable crossplay at all. So, no matter where you go, you are running into these players. I am no noob, so please don't take this as someone without a legit concern or a new player with no skills. I have been playing Battlefield since the days of Bad Company. Regardless, I can recognize an unfair advantage when I see it. I have uninstalled and will not buy another Battlefield game until this is resolved. Feel like I wasted my money buying this game on PC... Had I known this crossplay bs was going to be forced upon us PC guys, I would have bought it for my PS5 instead... and yes, I have a PS5, so I know the controller is heavily advantaged by it's gimble system. Not to mention the aim assist being boosted by a large degree over mouse and keyboard. You are only lying to yourself if you don't realize the controller has an advantage now and is doing a ton of the work for you. And don't even get me started on the synch issue.... Why are we not using 60hz servers? This whole issue could be solved with a few small tweaks... instead EA fires all it's staff lol. Trash company. The playing field needs to be fair for all. EA LET US TURN OFF CROSSPLAY. Just watch a few lobbies and tell me I'm wrong...
SBMM and EOMM: we need a clear statement from DICE/EA
Since this topic is generating so much distrust and confusion inside the BF community, in order to get this cleared out once and for all, I open this discussion in order that everyone of us can ask EA and DICE to inform us in a clear way, throught an official channel, about if and how SBMM and EOMM are currently or will be used in BF6. I'm not here to say if such systems are present or not. I'm not asking you. the players, to tell if they are present or not. I'm asking you to raise your voice in order to get a clear and unequivocable statement from EA and DICE about this argument. Should we not get any response, we will draw our own conclusions and weight the trust we can give to this company. Make sure to leave a comment below and ask for an official response from the developers and share this discussion with everyone you can. This is only done in our own interests. Hope you understand and help this community.
Play PvE or PvP: Solo Start with Bots
This thread is for the person who is tired of matchmaking. For the person who is tired of joining rounds mid-game. For the person who is tired of having their party break at the end of matches and needing to leave games and recreate their party with their friends. For the person who is tired of playing attacker or defender over and over. For the person who is tired of playing maps in a random order. For the person who misses options and game modes that used to be in Battlefield games. For the person who is tired of sweats, or for the person who doesn't mind sweats. Every one of these experiences can be hosted and started with just one person. There is no need to queue up and wait for 12 or 20 players to join. Each experience can be enjoyed with no other humans or as an experience that is full with only humans. Each one will fill with bots, as necessary, and then the bots will be replaced as humans join. You can either search for the experiences using the titles provided, or search for the experience code listed (the easier method). Battlefield Owners: "Casual Conquest...": Solo-start (of course!) large scale conquest that is a faithful reproduction of the real thing, except with the ability to play against bots and level up your skill. Vehicles respawn quickly to get you back in the action. Bots will be replaced by humans, as humans join, but a minimum of 16 bots total will always be present, to give that casual feel. ZH6YV "Night Conquest...": Three conquest experiences like the previous, but at night. One is dark and blue, to mimic a full moon night as best as possible with the tools available. Another has a green NVG effect that switches on shortly after spawning to make enemies easier to see. The third experience has IRNV (thermal) enabled the entire time. Dark (moon) mode: ZMQMZ NVG (green light boosted) mode: ZMBXX IRNV (infrared white hot) mode: ZNT41 "Winter Conquest...": Just like Casual Conquest, but all the maps are played in the snow. ZGQ1G "Large 28 vs 28 TDM...": Classic conquest maps with vehicles and everything, but no objectives. The only objective is to get to the top of the scoreboard, be on the winning team, have a sweet KDR, or have a killer streak. Note: bots are limited to 22 vs 22 per EA's bot limits. ZMSS7 "Cairo Chaos...": Seige of Cairo with a new twist. One street. One objective. 28 vs 28. A ton of cover has been added, plus a couple buildings for snipers to oversee the battlefield. Use of ladders to increase verticality and sustain the crazy number of players is encouraged. ZPQ25 "Hardcore Team Deathmatch - Small Maps - Bot Fill" : A rotation of small infantry maps with Hardcore settings. Experience the experience that EA forgot how to provide. Tons of fun and action! YKBXU "Heat of Battle..." : A bright and saturated version of conquest where a variety of colored flares appear each time someone spawns, kills, dies, or takes damage. This allows you to have the normal fun experience but also see and appreciate the battle playing out around you. It creates a broad heat map of activity; keep moving if you don't want to give away your position. ZTBJ1 Free to Play: "F2P - Golf Course - King of the Hill - Clubhouse" : One objective at the top of the hill at the club house, with each side spawning on either side of the club house hill. Attackers try to advance up the hill and take control of the clubhouse, while defenders try to pick them off. Spawns are naturally protected by the map layout, with some additional protection provided. A sniper outpost is added in the form of a broken highway nearby. Hardcore: Z6ZFK Standard core: ZAEF4 "F2P REDSEC - Team Deathmatch" : Golf Course and Tech Sector map rotation of Team Deathmatch. Golf Course features the same design you see above. Tech Sector is mostly un-modified but can be modified based on feedback. Deathmatch AI has a purpose and you will see them on a mission. Infantry-friendly vehicles are provided. Hardcore: Z3Q8X Standard core: Z91ZJ "Golf Course - Custom Bots - Infantry Conquest": 20 v 20 infantry conquest at golf course with many objectives in close proximity. This is what we used to call "conquest small". This is the chaos some people crave. It is essentially "King of the Hill" described above, except with 4 more objectives. Hardcore: ZC34V Standard: ZC2RY "Friends vs Friends F2P TDM with Team Switching": 20 vs 20 TDM to play against your friends. Bots can be turned off. Each spawn area has a sign you can interact with in order to switch to the other team, or turn bots on or off. Host it with a password if you don't want randoms to join. ZG383 "Friends vs Friends F2P Infantry Conquest with Team Switching": 20 vs 20 conquest small at golf course to play against your friends. Bots can be turned off. Each spawn area has a sign you can interact with in order to switch to the other team, or to turn bots on or off. Host it with a password if you don't want randoms to join. ZGGTZ Please, if you are only looking for a PvE experience -- alone or with friends -- host the experiences with a password so that you can play with as many friends as you want, instead of kicking unwanted players who randomly join. Being kicked for randomly joining someone's hosted experience is not a good feeling. Note: "Free to Play" is subject to EA's wishes. Free-to-play experiences are hosted on REDSEC maps which were provided to players for free, but EA could revoke free-to-play access of those maps at any time. Additionally, amount of XP awarded and whether weapon unlocks or challenge progression is awarded is completely at the will of EA. Here are some very short demo videos. YouTube: NVG Demo YouTube: Conquest at Night and Bots being a Menace YouTube: Custom Golf Coarse Map Layout YouTube: Conquest Bot Play Go easy on me with the last one. My piloting was awful, but the purpose is to see that bot teammates jump in as gunner, are helpful, will heal, revive, and throw down ammo, and the bots keep activity going around the entire map. Thanks to utilizing these experiences, my piloting is now much better. Here are some images. Thank you for your time! ... oh... and we are all learning together! Ask for help or share your expertise. We all need eachother!
Battle Royal Duo & Quads - not filling lobby!
Tried for 6 times now and spent 20 minutes to get into a battle royal game. i am on PS5 (crossplay off) and i never get a full (80 people) lobby to start the game. when the lobby empties it doesn't fill up anymore and you are forced to exit the lobby and try again. Or just quit the game and ask for a refund i guess.... this goed for both duo & quad lobbies. can someone explain this?
Battlefield 6 Needs to Address the Cheating via Adapters (Cronus Zen, XIM, etc.)
To the Battlefield Development Team, I am writing to call attention to a growing and urgent issue that is undermining fair play in Battlefield 6 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5: the widespread use of hardware adapters for cheating. An increasing number of players are using devices like the XIM Matrix, Cronus Zen, and Reasnow S1. These adapters allow users to connect a mouse and keyboard to their console (or PC) while tricking the game into recognizing them as an official controller. This deception provides an unfair double advantage: 1. The Precision of Mouse & Keyboard: They get the familiar and precise aiming of a mouse. 2. The Power of Controller Aim Assist: They unfairly retain the powerful aim assist that the game provides to controller players to help with thumbstick aiming. This creates an uneven playing field where these players have a significant and unfair advantage over both: · Legitimate Controller Players, who are using thumbsticks as intended. · Legitimate Mouse & Keyboard Players, who do not receive any aim assist. As you acknowledged in a recent interview, the team is aware of the cheating problem on consoles, particularly with devices like the Cronus Zen, and is working with platform holders on detection methods . We appreciate these efforts, but the problem is already rampant and is severely impacting the game's integrity shortly after launch. The issue of adapter-based cheating is not unique to Battlefield. Over recent years, popular FPS titles such as Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and Destiny have all struggled with the widespread use of these hardware spoofing devices. A common criticism among the community is that many anti-cheat systems have failed to adequately detect and restrict them, allowing such devices to proliferate and damage the competitive integrity of these games. We strongly urge the Battlefield 6 development team to learn from these precedents and take a distinctly more proactive and rigorous stance. It is crucial to implement robust, hardware-level detection measures that go beyond what has been done in other titles. We hope for a clear and committed action plan, not merely acknowledgments or delayed responses that have been perceived as insufficient in other games like Call of Duty. We, the community, urge you to prioritize and strengthen the detection and prevention of these hardware cheats. Please take decisive action to stop this form of cheating from becoming the norm and protect the fair competitive environment that all Battlefield players deserve. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.Battlefield 6 Free to Play
From March 17th to the 24th March the game will be free to play, on all platforms. 4 maps and 6 Modes, full progression. Whilst it will increase the player base temporary also going to bring the usually suspects out from under their rock as well hahaha. I doubt this will convert free to play to any sales people are not stupidBad servers in South America
EA, there's a problem that needs to be resolved urgently on the South American servers (I don't know if it happens on other servers). Every match is being matched with bots; we rarely get 64-player games. And South America has many online players, this is a matchmaking problem, please fix it, don't let the game die in South America.
have yougiven up on the asia market??
asia servers have been 80-90% BOTS since launch outside peak hours i'm a player from asia and i've been dealing with this consistently since day one. outside of a very narrow peak window in the evening, the vast majority of matches are stll filled with 80-90% BOTs, this isn't just on occasional hiccup - it has become the "normal" experience for player in this region. we didn't pay for a AAA multiplayer title to farm BOTS we bought it to compete against real people. right now, unless you log in at a very specific time, the experience in asia barely qualifies as 'multiplayer' at all. what's even more frustrating is the total lack of communication. we've been rasising this since launch, yet there hasn't been a single clear acknowledgment or a meaninful update regarding the state of matchmaking here. this isn't just a minor bug or a blancing tweak it's a failure of the game's core identity. At the very least, you need to : Optimize matchmaking : prioritize filling existing lobbies instead of constantly splitting the player base into new ones. Bring Back the server browser : If the matchmaking algorthm can't reliably populate matches, give us the tools to find them ourselves. if the continues, the asian player base will keep shrinking unitl it's beyond recovery. is anyone else in asia experiencing the same thing?
