Gameplay Feedback – Hit Registration & Weapon Balance
I’m submitting this feedback out of genuine frustration with the current state of hit registration and weapon balance. At this point, this is the worst experience I’ve had in any shooter when it comes to bullet registration. Clear, well-placed shots simply are not registering consistently. Good aim feels disrespected every single match. You can visibly track targets, land multiple confirmed hits, and still lose fights due to inconsistent damage application. The hit detection feels unreliable and delayed, especially in mid-to-long range engagements. It creates situations where mechanical skill does not feel rewarded, which is extremely discouraging in a competitive environment. Weapon balance is also a major issue. SMGs currently feel god-tier at every range. They dominate close range as expected, but they are also outperforming DMRs at mid and even longer distances. A DMR, which should reward precision and positioning, feels severely underpowered. It often takes an unreasonable number of clean, confirmed hits to secure a kill compared to an SMG that can spray and delete opponents quickly. This imbalance makes weapon choice feel irrelevant and discourages skilled, accurate playstyles. Precision weapons should reward accuracy. Right now, they feel punished instead. Please prioritize: Fixing hit registration consistency Improving server-side damage reliability Rebalancing SMGs vs DMRs at range Ensuring precision weapons properly reward accurate aim The core gameplay has potential, but hit registration and weapon balance must be addressed for the experience to feel competitive and fair.
Help, I want to love BF6 but I haven't been able too since launch
I love battlefield and I've had 6 since launch but I still can't play the game online, there's some sort of glitch where my guns literally refuse to fire when aiming directly at an enemy, I don't need to reload, I don't have any weird controller settings. It's making me go nuts because ik this could be a great game to relax and recover from a surgery to but I physically can't until it's fixed so until then I have to keep playing battlefield 1
new update and other issues
so the new update came, i loaded the game and it said i never had the mp downloaded, did the usual, then i went to fly a choppa and it had reset the controls the awful controls they default with, why i will never understand, so i went in and changed the bindings, this did not take, i spent an hour of my game time messing around and never managed to sort it, please for all our sakes just put the bf4 control mechanics and and setups into the game, something you should have done to start with cos now i cannot fly the heli's, sniping is awful in this game compared to every other bf title, when moving the stick on my controller its just not natural precise movement, when i try to line up on a head it does not move to the head, it is either to the left or the right of it, after faffing about moving the stick left to right i eventually land on the head but then somehow it misses or the dude just don't die, now yeah ya can say its a skill issue but i load any other title up and it all works fine, even bf4 and there is no controller aim assist on that title but the game works as it should, aiming is perfect, i can get in a tank and drive it on a dime, its the perfect game, there the tank drives on the sticks, i don't like that control scheme but on that game it works, you wanna turn on the spot it will do it perfectly, on bf6 i try to turn on the spot it tries to drive forward/backwards anywhere i don't want it, i drive along the road and try to turn, its unnatural unlike bf4 when it could compete in tank olympics it works so well, i am baffled as to how this game was tested and nobody noticed these things? and why has EA done nothing to fix it despite knowing players have mentioned, maybe not as much as they should but i think they were all so sick of call of duty they were just happy to have another game to play so just made do with what they had, but we all paid money for the game and i think EA should address these epic fails and do something about them out of respect for us paying customers, because i for one will not be spending another penny on their games if they do not. now onto fps and graphics, i have a well built pc which can play anything thrown at it, but this game since launch i will only play 3 maps as they are the only ones that run as they should, though eastwood if i go near a flag it does the weird fps lag feeling, like its just quite in sync despite getting well over 100 fps at the time, you get the feeling its dropping, its a horrible feeling and makes other players seem as if they are lagging, out of phase, this is like this on every other map but worse on the others, they are just a lag fest to play are not worth my while, bethesda usually have these issues, like fallout 4 as an example, its poor optimisation and can be fixed unless its a deep code issue then maybe not, the new map contaminated, i was getting similar feelings around certain parts of that map last night, i still kicked **bleep** though, i am a fps veteran so am good at this game, not god like, like i was on bf3 4 and bc 2 but still pretty good despite how poorly it was built. please share your experiences of this game on this thread, ea do tend to look into things providing there is enough likes and comments on threadsSeason 2 Tier Skips Applied Incorrectly / Cross-Season Issues
Howdy, talked to EA online support for this but with no help (not surprised tho). I purchased BF pro for the tier skips to get the new guns faster. I bought BF pro, immediately went to the battle pass tab to check out which tier i wanted to start with, clicked on the death stalkers one ( just to look) and it automatically used my tier skips. I didnt touch any buttons i pressed X once to open death stalkers. Boom, tier skips used and im SOL. im pretty annoyed because i was robbed of my choosing. I found others who had the same issue, check attachment. CM title edit
Bushido Dog Tag Code "Expired". EA will not Honor the code card.
I am quite disappointed with EA over this. There is a good forum post describing the situation well, I'll leave a link to that. Someone else with a more detailed experience. After hours of contacting EA, speaking with multiple advisors, at the end of everything. They will not honor the code cards given out at the Tokyo Game Show. They didn't even want to acknowledge their existence. Told me to take it up with the retailer not knowing its from a game show. The printed date on the card says it expires on October 10th, 2027. When you try to redeem the code, it says it's expired. At some point EA changed the date of the expiration and didn't tell anyone about it. If I knew this ahead of time, I wouldn't have waited for my friend to get back from her trip to Japan, I would have just had her send me a picture.Severe audio distortion/crackling in BF6 during explosions / heavy action
Hi all, I’m hoping to find other PS5 players experiencing this and to get this escalated, because it’s at the point where I can’t keep playing. Platform / setup PS5 SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (firmware fully up to date) Also tested other headsets (details below) Issue Since the full release (from day one), I’m getting unbearable distortion / crackling in BF6 audio during high-intensity moments: explosions being shot at indoors / inside buildings heavy vehicle presence lots of action happening at once It sounds like crackling gunshots / blown-out distortion (almost like the mix is clipping). Restarting the game and restarting the headset does not change anything. Battlefield 6 audio settings tested (everything) I’ve tried every combination I can think of: War Tapes (this seems to distort the most) 3D Headphones / Stereo / Headphones different “source” options ICM + High Dynamics, Night Mode, etc. No matter what I pick, the distortion remains. Headset/EQ troubleshooting Nova Pro Wireless firmware is current Tried ~30 EQ settings The most “sensitive” ranges seem to be 32 / 62 / 125 Hz, but even pulling these into negative values doesn’t fix it Tried official BF6 preset, BF2042 preset, and custom presets — no impact Factory reset the Nova Pro Wireless — no change Important: not a single-headset issue I tested multiple headsets and the problem is the same on all of them: Bowers & Wilkins PX8 (wired to controller) PlayStation Pulse Elite Arctis Nova 7 All reproduce the same distortion/crackling in the same kinds of scenarios. Key detail The distortion is audible in Share Screen and in PS5 screen recordings. That makes me think this is not a wireless interference issue or a single hardware defect — it seems like the game’s audio mix/effects are clipping or breaking under load. My suspicion: the concussion/suppression audio (or something in the dynamic mix under heavy action) is interacting badly, especially with higher-fidelity headsets — but the fact it happens on the Pulse Elite too suggests it’s broader than “high-end headphones.” Things I tried that did not help (to rule out interference / local install issues) Changed router frequency / moved away from 2.4 GHz Moved Nova Pro base station away from outlets / the PS5 Switched cables Reinstalled the game Reformatted my PlayStation No improvement. What I’m asking Are other PS5 players experiencing the same crackling/distortion under heavy action? If yes, what audio settings are you using (and does anything reduce it even slightly)? If anyone from DICE/EA sees this: can we get this acknowledged as a PS5 audio mix / clipping bug? I can provide short clips, and I can share exact steps to reproduce (explosions + indoor firefight + vehicles reliably triggers it). At this point, it needs a serious fix. The game audio becomes physically unpleasant during normal gameplay and it’s killing the experience.No Accolades Being Awarded During/After Matches
I've noticed that my bonus points have been extremely low since I started playing Season 2. Upon closer examination I noticed that I'm not being awarded any accolades for multiple kills, assists, enemy spotting, ect. These accolade points are normally a few thousand depending on how well I did in the match. Has anyone else noticed that accolades are not being awarded in game or added to your end game score?
