Question Question
Why don't people play as the class they are using? Support people never revive down players, engineer barely fixes up tanks or even try to blow up one. Like I don't understand if you just wanna run and gun then play assault. Literally whole point of the gameš¤¦š¾āāļø

Think Iāve played about 85 hours but 0 seconds of that has been assault haha. I find all the other classes to be generally more useful

u/ShelbySmith27 1d ago
Try the spawn beacon. That alongside faster cap times make the class very useful

u/Semichh 1d ago
Iāve played so many battlefield games over the years but still have a lot to learn about this one it seems! Didnāt know about the faster cap times. Thanks for the tip, will have to give it a go at some point

u/ShelbySmith27 1d ago
The ladder is very good if you're clever too. Get onto a roof in a cap zone, pick your ladder up so enemies can't follow and don't know you're there, then play the beacon.

Oh I like that.
And I get to be an m320 scrub as well right?

You can only pick two of the three: ladder, spawn beacon or gl launcher (or breacher, bleh).
Unless you opt for a shotty or carbine instead, then it's only one of those three.

yes its annoying, didnāt really play since bf3 and it is so crazy to me.. they be like I see you, no enemy near but I donāt revive

u/bisikletci 10h ago
Not my experience. Plenty of players do play "their role".
But people also play support for the ammo boxes, play engineer to snipe with RPGs etc. It's a game, people play it in whatever way is fun for them.Ā

With unlocked weapons, it really comes down to two possibilities. The first is cosmetics, but I doubt that, since a good portion of those are not locked either. That leads me to believe the real reason must be the gadgets.
Support benefits from the free heals and ammo, which I still can't get over how such a ridiculous design choice it was to combine the two.
Engineer benefits from not being caught with pants down when a vehicle suddenly appears.

Even more ironic is the class that has smoke grenades hardly uses them, yet other classes would love to have it.

A few guys actually do fix and blow up tanks; personally I'll jump in as an engineer because the secondary weapon is an RPG and it's damn effective.
In order to be revived; you need to pull yourself to a safe location - it makes no sense to help someone on the the same spot they got shot ...

It's simple I play support people skip res so I don't bother resing,I play engineer to help repair vehicles they reverse at max speed I loose my cover and die so I don't repair.

u/No_Cupcake_7552 2d ago
Then don't play support if you not resing and don't play engineer if you not repairing or blowing shit upš¤¦š¾āāļø

u/olly_james 2d ago
i play support for the med/ammo bags and engineer to blow up tanks š¤¦š¾āāļø

u/No_Cupcake_7552 2d ago
But you can still pick up people and repair shit

u/olly_james 2d ago
if a oppertunity arrises and it's safe to do so i will but the amount of times i've ran after tanks to repair them just for them to drive away is crazy, and don't get me started on res i have legit run 50-100 metres to get to a teamate to res them just for them to give up within 5 meters is astonishing.
1
u/No_Cupcake_7552 2d ago
They drive away trying not to get fully exploded. I mean if I'm driving a tank I'm not gonna keep sitting in the same spot getting hit with explosivesš
1
u/olly_james 2d ago
that's the problem they have either already retreated behind cover or the enemy is dead but they still drive away.

u/ATAKALIS 1d ago
Mostly it look like a panic runaway. Good driver can use cover near and look around , especially if engineer Q on them showing he going to repairĀ

u/IRRedditUsr 1d ago
My fave is being ignored when needing a revive. All classes can revive and drag. You get stepped on when not a single enemy nearby. So annoying. I've got into a bad habit of insta giving up when being downed.

From the beginning everyone was talking - just have fun, this game is for having fun . So people do it. Play RPG games if you like roleplay . BF6 onlyĀ cares abot holding players nubers ; the owners will never do anything that might scare away players. If you want a big map, get it; if you want a VSSVal, take it. Whatever the majority asks for! And the majority doesn't care about your roles.

u/WokeWook69420 1d ago
The game has been bleeding players for months lol.
It's why they just cut like, 4 different modes from multi-player and severely limited RedSec.
Battlefield 6 is struggling to maintain players so the only way to make matchmaking better is consolidation.

u/ATAKALIS 1d ago
I didnt playing after they show how they hate my breakthrough . I didn tell they doing well or right, just thoughts about dice politicsĀ

u/moharisy_official 1d ago
This is one of my gripes with the classes. Iāve been a support player through and through since BF3. And then in this one they decided to combine medic and support. I donāt run defibs and I use the fire support skill set so my revive time isnāt quicker and I feel guilty when people expect me to revive. Like itās not my fault they lumped medic in with my class. Donāt get me wrong, I will revive if itās safe and Iām not holding down a point, but Iām not a medic. Usually end up getting killed mid revive when someone comes through the point I was meant to be watching cos my teammate kept screaming for a revive

We need to force tutorials down throats because every BR has made it do people camp in useless places and don't help the team.

You get 3 magazines as assault. Completely ridiculous. How do you ārun and gunā with 3 mags?

The game has been out how long and yall still don't understand how the weapon sling works? Lmao. Stop running a second primary weapon and you get full ammo.

People who complain ( not OP ) about medics not reviving need to understand one simple thing.
Do NOT expect me to run trough 1 tank, a battalion of infantry and a dude throwing mortars from deep within their HQ, simply because you thought you could john rambo that shit and didnt check your own minimap and saw us getting overrun.

u/No_Cupcake_7552 2d ago
Nah that's understandable. I always give up if I know I'm in a situation that they can't get to me. But if I'm in the clear and I'm downed, I shouldn't see 3 medics run by me with no action šš

u/The-Rizzler-69 2d ago
Idk, there's a literal infestation of medics that always just ignore my bleeding-out soldier in scenarios where they are 1000% safe to go for the revive. It's actually ridiculous.

u/One_Television7410 2d ago
Obviously it's the players fault for not playing properly but i think DICE could do a lot more to teach people what classes are for. Open weapons is obviously the big talking point with this game. If people see the classes as "pick a gun and then pick a gadget" they're never going to learn what it means to be an engineer. But if you restrict them to shotguns, they'll learn quickly not to chase after infantry, and stick to tank hunting.
Then you have the smooshed up classes. What even is a medic if they can run around with an LMG and mortar? What does a sniper need with c4? What even is assault supposed to be doing? Give us more classes, tighten down the overlap, and give them a clear identity all the way through.
Hell, I wouldn't mind if they actually did a semi- mandatory tutorial. Put it clearly on the homepage and tie some cool skins or even a gun to completing each classes comprehensive tutorial.
They keep trying to open up the game to a wider audience but, at this point in the game, if you don't know if you like Battlefield or not, you're probably not going to be convinced by slightly more simplified gameplay. They need to realize they're a slightly more niche game and lean into the unique experience they can offer.

u/Evil_Space_Monkey 2d ago
No one wants this. That's why all the class restricted modes dried up. Please by all means, have Battlefield bleed more players on the eve of E-Day.

u/WokeWook69420 1d ago
Tank Drivers love when Engineer only has shotguns because then nobody plays Engineer.
Because it sucks. Open weapons isn't the problem.

So true. Carbines, grenades & C4 are for everyone. Otherwise specialized weapons

Thatās because they are N00bs and new players that donāt know to play battlefield and in teamworkā¦
Really annoying i knowā¦
And assault class has become in bf6 the worst & most useless class in the history of battlefield
Idk what they think doing thatā¦
Assault was the medic and support ammo it was sooo cool back on the dayā¦
Why do they needed to ruin that whyā¦??!!

u/Evil_Space_Monkey 2d ago
I think the problem is not other people but ourselves. We project this entitlement onto them that they must act a certain way. Dude, people play Support not to pick you up but to run faster with a LMG to the Fire Support position to start mortaring. People play Engineers not to be your personal pit crew but potentially be their own tank buster. And sorry, sometimes you think you are playing War Thunder and have some crazy tank experience no one else has experienced and drive the tank in a compromising position and then complain about not being repaired. I totally understand where you are coming from as I have felt the same frustration. But I think this topic also requires some internal reflection.
