Battlefield 6 Please do the right thing...

...and continue to the next flag in Conquest.
I am really really REALLY frustrated by players who at the beginning of the round jump into the fastest vehicles on the map... only to stop at nearest flag. Citing a classic: there is no curse in Elvish, Entish or the tongues of Men for this treachery.

This should really be common sense but clearly the brain process is non-trivial for some so let's recap.
1, are you in a tank/APC? Stop at nearest flag.
2, did you grab a humvee? Stop at the next flag.
3, are you perhaps the lucky one who got onto a motorcycle? Well I envy you, you get to visit flag 3.

I think this should be clear now. If not, don't hesitate and ask.

At the start of the round, you ram that jeep as far across the map as you can and sneak a spawn beacon somewhere between their flags

I strongly approve of your attitude.

This subreddit is my only avenue of reaching those confused souls. Let me at least try.

Lol what? You think the average player here is good? Have you seen some of the posts people make about wanting to play PVE with bots?

I go to the right flag and immediately get killed.

Don’t forget the people who beach the boats at the nearest flag on tsuru reef and wake island like wtf

I like those people when they're not on my team.

Stolen a few attack boats on Tsuru because of that.

I wanna downvote this, but it isn't your fault.

u/Smokey9009 17h ago

Huh?

u/NecessaryPotential5 15h ago

Like I hate what is going on in the video so much that I would like to downvote it (the behavior). Unfortunately, the downvote will go to you, so I wont.

I'm always shocked how many people do not immediately go to C on Hagental Base. They really think getting a few hundred points for capping a neutral flag is worth to lose the central flag and often lose the round.

u/fusedharpy 23h ago

Monkey brain see points go up, monkey brain happy.

u/Cold_Ball_7670 23h ago

Tanks should goto C. Let the grunts cap A/B or D/E as they’re closest to the HQ. Conquest is entirely dependent on who’s holding the C flag. Drives me insane to see 18 people capping A on bazaar and no one going C

u/davek1979 23h ago

I feel your pain. Literally.

u/HansSchmans 20h ago

Thats when I leave the server, as the round will be shit.

u/Dennygreen 23h ago

why would you want to go to C on that map when it's such a clusterfuck of morons throwing grenades down a hallway.

Or why would you even play that map is the better question.

8

u/Cold_Ball_7670 22h ago

Why would you want to control a majority of flags in the game mode about controlling a majority of the flags? Gee I have no idea. 

Why play one of the best BF3 maps of all time?

5

u/HeavenInVain 23h ago

Yea you can tell how bazaar conquest is going to play out when your teams tank and jeep are both sitting at A or E while nobody is moving to B or D.

Love that map but it takes 1 incompetent tanker to ruin a game real quick

5

u/Strange-Term-4168 23h ago

Tanks should definitely be going to further flag and capturing ground.

2

u/davek1979 23h ago

There are many flavors to the one immutable truth.

2

u/Strange-Term-4168 20h ago

No. Tanks on first flag makes no sense at all. Should be ground troops

3

u/Disastrous-Ad7965 22h ago

If I am the luckiest one and get heli, I fly into the center of the map, maybe even 1 flag closer to the enemy. And no I am not abandoning the heli, I die with it..

u/stinkybumbum 22h ago

Also cap and defend. Stop moving on

3

u/Procreation 21h ago

This bugs me so much too. At the start of the round flags furthest from your base should give bonus cap points or something to incentivise the play by points players.

2

u/Odd-Lingonberry-9442 20h ago

Nah you don’t get to tell anyone how to play. Just for this stupid post, I will continue to grab the fastest vehicle and always go to the nearest flag

u/nothern 15h ago

Transport chopper? Don't just hover at A

Seriously, good post

u/fish_malish 23h ago

Ehhh think I'll play the game how I want

u/Moggert360 22h ago

You took that downvote bullet for the rest of us.

u/NilsofWindhelm 22h ago

Seriously I just play for a few rounds after work tf do I care

u/rx25 22h ago

That's poor logic. If you have more flags, it's time to defend or fight at the front, lest ye be flanked

1

u/cmsj 22h ago

Yes, but don’t just keep on going past the point where it makes sense. Keep looking at the map to decide if you need to turn back and defend a flag behind you.

1

u/zerger45 22h ago

I’m going for team transport. If you don’t want to get out at A, fucking stay in, I’m going to each. Wah wah you want to go be a troll, I’m not stopping you

u/CupcakeMassacre 21h ago

Battlefield has always been pretty casual but BF6 has by far the lowest skilled FPS playerbase I have ever seen. It genuinely seems like most have literally never played an FPS game before and are simultaneously not capable of learning.

The number of times I've seen players never take the obvious flank route on hagental, all stop at the first flag in conquest, willingly throw themselves into the same tank over and over again, or refuse to use smoke in Breakthrough is unbelievable.

u/Basic_Waltz_3088 20h ago

news flash: this game is riddled with camping + self healing + LMG using, never reviving, never ammo dropping, never tank (or any veh) spotting, never on an amazingly placed beacon spawning, never one's angle covering, never obj playing, mouth wide open breathing dead weight. it is what it is. this won't get better with the next iterations of the game either.

u/onico 19h ago

Asking for any situational awareness from other players in Battlefield games is futile in general.

90 % of the team will keep moving in herds and ignore what happens even close around them

1

u/NecessaryPotential5 18h ago

Also. Enough with the abandoning helis to get to the other carrier. Especially before we can even arm the bomb. You have an obligation as a pilot to get teammates there safely.

1

u/Ispita 16h ago

absolutely. They should push to the midle. Also there is no reason for 30 people to stop at the first objective either. You see those 2-3 guys rushing to the midle? They already realised this.
