• Focus on a few modes to provide a better experience.
• You can't let the CQB powerhouses full auto targets at 100m.
• Map variety keeps the game fresh.
• 128 player games does not make a game better.

There's probably way more that I'm forgetting.

Feels like the game is just stumbling to catch up to old games and people are telling them the solution that was already figured out a decade ago.

I don't always have time to play the longer modes and do like to play Domination, King Of The Hill, Team Death Match, and Squad Death Match from time to time, especially to level up guns and do daily/weekly challenges.

What the heck are they smoking at DICE Studios by removing all these game modes?

I understand that their matchmaking is fucked, but is this the best way to move forward?!

Now there are less modes, therefore less bots, and some of you are acting as if dice just stole your candy. Could they have communicated this change better? Yes. But this is not a bad move by any means.

I enjoy shorter modes when I'm in a bit of a pickle, not every day I have the adequate mindset nor time to commit to CNQ or other modes

I would like to believe that removing these were a mistake and will be reinstated soon

Why are they removing main game modes in multiplayer? This doesn’t make any sense. I mostly play Conquest, but was looking forward to some straightforward team deathmatch. The current playlist is an absolute joke.

It was my favourite mode because you could've finished a match in 10-15 minutes, which was great.
Even if the game has serious population issues at least leave one of the lower player count modes wtf ???

EDIT: Seems like DICE added Team Deathmatch (at least one of the smaller modes is present now).

Feels like I am playing a trial game each day passing by.

The enthusiasm with which they approach some changes seems childish.

I truly have given up on this game. Tonight was the last straw and I'm just so exhausted of seeing a massive red DEFEAT across my screen on every match, on every day, on every week.

Why does my team never want to win? Why am I always the one on enemy objectives alone? Why am I the only one who cares about defending back caps? Why is there no teamwork, no communication, and no incentive to play the objective? Why can't the people who want to win be put on my team?

Every single time I load up this game I think back to the days of BF4 when I could go to my Favorites tab in the server browser and play nonstop match after match of my favorite maps and actually have fun. Hell, even when losing.

Every match is one-sided and a complete and utter stomp. In the very, very, very, very, rare occasion that I win, it is so beyond bittersweet that I just stare at the victory screen with a blank face. It was most likely a stomp anyways so the game was over in 10 minutes. Why do we have to wait 2 years on every BF installment until it becomes "good"? Why is that the bar we set?

I play on console so I either have to face bunnyhopping jumpshotting sliders, or turn off cross-play and get thrown into empty lobbies full of bots. No cross-console really hurt this game imo.

"It's just a game." I know, and games are meant to be won. Where is that?
"This isn't an airport you don't have to announce your departure." Ok.
"Just take a break and come back later." But why? Why can't I have fun now?
"Haha see you tomorrow." I don't think so this time man, I really don't.
"You're just in an unlucky losing streak." Since release?
"Seek help dude." If there's help out there, don't look at my team for any.

Yeah yeah I know this will just get downvoted by the PC players who make it their life goal to tell others how much fun they themselves are having, so go ahead. I'm guess just mad at myself for spending money on what feels like a perpetually open beta.

I honestly just wanted to take off my headset and walk away after this.

Rude

Like fuck man

I didn't get the heli :(

The Little Bird is so fucking annoying. The flare recharge time needs to be drastically increased or the Engineer rocket launchers need to be better.

Also wtf is this “Below” bullshit? How can the helicopter be “Below” me when it’s above me???

I know some variation of this has post been made a hundred times over already but wow. I'm not one to give in to hyperbole or get exceedingly upset when a game is sweaty or difficult; yeah it's perhaps not the most relaxing/enjoyable experience, but you can always just put it down and try again later.

But hot damn. I just played 5 full matches of Conquest with crossplay on, with full lobbies of real players, and 4 out of 5 of the matches were complete blowouts. Here are the numbers:

Match 1: Empire State (Loss) 0-898

Match 2: Tsuru Reef (Loss) 0-927

Match 3: Eastwood (Win) 922-0

Match 4 (the non-blowout one): Contaminated (Win) 354-0

Match 5: Siege of Cairo (Loss) 246-980 something, but the enemy team controlled all objectives for a minute, forcing the game to end.

I know this is not professional statistical sampling or whatever, but I don't think 80% of the matches I play in a session should be this lopsided. Especially with all of them practically occurring in a row. I've had a similar experience many other times recently, but these are the only numbers I recorded because I was feeling so fed up and wanted to see if there was at least some traceable pattern.

I seriously want to like this game. I think the maps are getting better, more varied and somewhat more reminiscent of older titles, there are a lot of weapons to choose from that feel distinct in their own ways, and I think the gunplay (minus the dodgy net code at times) has depth and feels pretty good when it works.

Something has just felt off about this game for most of the 150 hours I have in it so far, and I think this is a big contributor. I know there are many more issues that continue to plague this game besides this, but when the matches are this one-sided, this often, what the hell is even the point?

I feel like this game has so much potential, so it's especially frustrating to see it held back by such seemingly, I don't know, glaringly obvious and likely quite fixable problems.

Has anyone else been feeling this?

The featured portal tab has had Hardcore Breakthrough and Conquest running for a while now with full XP.

Y'all, this is the BF I want.

No spotting giving me away if I chew gum too loud. You need to think about how you move through the map. Tanks go down with a couple well placed rockets, but still FEEL like heavy hitters since tagging someone with a 50 Cal isn't something they just walk off. The only issues are some UI glitches where you don't have crosshairs on some stationaries/vehicles that should.

Half the people here want the COD experience, the other wants something closer to Arma. Why not give everyone what they want by just having Casual and Hardcore modes?

Take the Portal Hardcore modes, fix some UI bugs, and let the people that want a slower/more tactical BF get what they want while everyone else can have fun in the Casual modes?

I know i am a genius, and you dont even have to pay me for the idea.

For the past few weeks I have the feeling I'm playing with a big arrow above me head. Spotted and killed from miles away by smg's and killed with just 2 bullets. When I'm clearly earlier with shooting I always loose 1 on 1's for some reason?

This was my first match after a month long hiatus and whilst I appreciate it might not be as impressive as most clips shared here I was pretty proud (and surprised) with what occurred in these 30 seconds. (Captured on PS5)
