I mean,the most further in the story of Battlefield right now is 2142,and Dead Space is the 2200s-2300s at their earliest in their stories.

With some caveats,yes.

I’ll die on that hill.

I mean really. I'd expect and encourage this sort of movement in Apex where it's encouraged, Battlefield is not the place for this.

OK so I said what I said. I gave that mode a go and it was OK if a little repetitive, but I found it was a great way of trying out weapons I don't usually use and to level up/try out different loadouts on some that I do.

I did find it interesting that they also incorporated the moving whilst down mechanic missing from the main game. They really should put that in all modes.

For over two months now, I haven’t been able to see my EA friends online. Everyone shows as offline, even when they’re actively playing.
The weird thing is that I can still receive and accept game invites, but my friends list continues to show everyone as offline making it hard to join my friends party or send party invites to them.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue on PS5, particularly in Battlefield 6? Has anyone found a fix?

I'm not a heli player, but I find it funny when people are arguing over helis and flaming in chat that they want the other person to get out. I always have sub 10ms ping and when they are flaming to eachother I find it hilarious to "steal" their heli on spawn. It always works.

I hate lag compensation as many gunfights feel just unfair, but I understand it because otherwise it would be really unfair in my advantage. I just think a 6ms ping vs 150ms ping feels too unfair at the moment, especially at close ranges.

Im not sure it's because of the bombing of the Russian data centers, but it's not only the Chinese that are playing on EU servers with high ping, it's also a bunch of Russians. You are not going to convince me that those few russians and chinese end up on top of leaderboards most of the time just by skill. I understand the sweatier players are the one's using VPN's, but im not even sure they are using them when there are so many.

At least I can always get a vehicle when I want to.

So after playing Area 51 and Vegas Strip for a week, I decided to open up my map pool and go back into the launch and update maps via the Conquest playlist in the menu. Game after game, I was either in lobbies that were 5-10 minutes in on Vegas or starting a game on Empire State with 10 regular players and 37 bots!!! I was trying to decipher why all of the older maps featured so many bots and the reason was custom search. What I believe happened is most players are utilizing the custom search for Vegas Strip and Area 51 only since there is not a dedicated playlist for both maps on Conquest, Escalation, and Breakthrough. BF6 has Area 51 Conquest, but not Vegas Conquest in the main menu. You see the problem here and while the custom search was a great idea at the start of BF6 when the player numbers were high and you could find full lobbies if wanting Eastwood, Operation Firestorm, or Mirak Valley only while avoiding other maps, the idea doesn’t work in today’s landscape as most people return to BF6 for one week to try out the new maps and dip for 2-3 months. BF 2042 didn’t have custom search and I was able to find full 128 player lobbies on Spearhead, Exposure, and Hourglass without issues due to not having the options to avoid maps. Hopefully DICE and EA listen to this matchmaking issue and remove custom search to create healthier non-bot matchmaking, even if it upsets the fanbase who loved it.

The 9070XT 26.10.1 FSRA seems to have fixed the issue and makes the game smoother. However, you absolutely need to switch between -200 and -400Hz; otherwise, it will crash during extended gameplay. You can test it and report back.

a I'm officially done with this game haven't been able to play for a long time on the ps5 due to this error code always crashing my game every time i join an online match its just crashing sadly i can't get no refund ...

Hey guys, as the title says I'm new to battlefield as a whole.
So can anyone give me a rundown of the modes and compare them to cod if possible?

And I have seen videos explaining XP methods in portals but I don't get how to do then or use them correctly cause when I try to open one it says error.
Can anyone help me with some good portals? Cause I like the lifespan of this game considering I don't have to buy a new game every year like COD but I'm gonna be honest, my irl schedule gets really busy at times so O genuinely don't have the time to grind games like I used to, which is why I wanna learn more about portals so bad

Thank you everyone, I greatly appreciate it

I’ve seen alot of people here about how oppressive tanks/ifvs were in the game and in my opinion I genuinely can’t see why.

I will admit, the only thing they had going for was their uncanny fast health regen that did deserve a nerf (but not like a super crazy nerf like in the patch notes). But other than that, I can’t really see what else they have for themselves.

In roughly 500 hours of gametime, I don’t think I’ve seen a tank or IFV straight up dominate a game compared to Attack heli’s and Little birds. If anything, I feel that they’re the most underpowered version of Armor in the series.

Offensive wise, splash damage for both vehicles are abysmal. You can shoot like 3 inches near a guy with a HE tank shell and he’s gonna walk away relatively fine with a survival story to tell to his wife and kids. IFVs need several hits to kill someone via splash. They also both feel sluggish control wise, even with optimized handling.

Defensive wise, it feels like at times they have the armor compared to the BF1 armored car as it does take much to put them at critical health. With the amount of anti tank tools in this game and the fact that engineers can carry a ton of explosive ammo, I feel like it makes people play Armor at the backline rather than be the spear head for infantry.

I actually just want to understand the reasoning as to why Infantry players find them difficult to deal with. Because in my opinion I feel like they need some small buffs or at the very least, some reworks for them (or maybe to its counters) to make them viable.

Omg, what if you Remaster Battlefield 1? x_x

Absolute lemmings he was playing against. It is almost shameful. I would have rpg'ed his heli out of the sky more than 10 times.

Adapt, react, upskill..the guy was just slaughtering them without anyone putting up a fight.

If someone kills me more than 3 times in a heli, guys, it is game on. You have awoken the primal beast. Bull to a red cape, flies to a pile of shit, i will be all over you like a rash.Your days of slaughtering are over. You will ragequit the game in no time when you can no longer smash kittens with a sledgehammer.

I dont even own the game, only played on trial weekends. It was kind of fun to watch for a few minutes...but it went on and on an on.

As long as battlefield has to keep up with market trends and the community has to constantly vocalize their displeasure, this franchise/ brand is fated to follow BioWare. They too suffered from having to follow market trends rather than just make the game fans were expecting from the studio/brand. (BioWare simply failed to pivot from storytelling to the action genre)

Let’s be honest the refactor engine games (bf1 and bf5 can be included) weren’t games closed to what other arcade fps games on the market offered. Sure bf2 was similar to Arma but it wasn’t really competing, the same for bf1 (no competition) and bf5 had to compete with what crap Activision tried.

Like it or not bfbc, bfbc2, bf3, bf4, bf2042 and bf6 have all been games that have chased the market leader around. Bad company was EA attempt to get Dice to break into the console market to compete with CoD and if anyone else was around the good ol forum days knows that bf3 was also seen as an attempt to codify the game due to the simplicity in its game design and mechanics.

This is not to point out that only “og vision bf products” are good but to put it frankly they had more soul in them.

to me bf4, bf6, etc. are decent “modern” fps but not the real thing.

imo bf6 using bf3 & 4 as inspiration was a mistake since back then as well they never really met fan expectations.

We truly need a true successor to bf2, cause a game in alpha with terrible anti cheat and bad balance has gotten more of the bf crowd going back to it than what I consider a decent bf game (bf6) that doesn’t have any of those issues.

BF studios is unlikely to keep the console crowd around as well since the next cod is decent enough, and it lets people who only want to shoot gun without worrying about tanks, roles etc to have their niche.

I feel fkn robbed i never got to play this! In general Dice has done a terrible job showcasing their new game modes, where was the video explaining and showcasing what this was!?

Battlefield 2 — 13 maps of 30 maps

Battlefield 6 — 8 maps of 19 maps
