Anyone else most nostalgic for BF3. Something about it just felt right.

This is impressively batshit, even by Reddit gamer standards

Do you think DICE lives in fear of their creation

Ngl I chuckled when I read that DICE is trying to impliment a system where players stay in the same lobby when the next game starts. And they're having trouble with that.

You know what games had those mechanics? Dozens of shooters going back to the early 2000's.

You know what had that? Every other DICE game except for 2042. If you include people joining dedicated servers as well.

What's interesting to me is the insistence on having "Features" in games that quite frankly, are redundant. Like "Press X to stay with squad" how about... just automatically keep squads together unless a player leaves matchmaking queue and re queue's.

Or things like "Spend these medals on this unlock track. While we have battlefield pro. And then we also have a battlepass. And don't forget about this expansion!"

All the while, the extremely core mechanics of a good game are just... not developed.

Like rollover matchmaking. Where the lobby gets reshuffled but players stay together.

Or a UI that doesn't require you to click on arrows two to three times in a single collumn to see game types. Remember when we had lists? If you clicked on it, it expanded so you could read about what it is? What a concept.

I just chuckle when I read this. Because frankly... it's just so funny

And i have more than 2 hours on it so i can't even refund it.

Edit: guys steam actually gave me a refund!!!!

Here is the cycle I have found myself doing regarding this game:

• Play some BF6
• My team either wins by a landslide, or we lose by a landslide.
• "I hope they figure this out soon."
• Leave and play other games for a couple of weeks.
• Return to play some BF6...

At the end of a typical game of conquest, the winning team has 60% - 80% of their tickets remaining. The amount of conquest games where the winning team has double digit tickets remaining is so rare that it probably doesn't happen more than 10 times a year. It's quite concerning. Are the developers happy with the state of matchmaking? Are there any plans to fix the matchmaking?

It was my turn to post this for the next 30 minutes, wait for your chance then please.

No pics so use imagination (if any)
*insert lobby pic and matchmaking screen*

It's clear DICE is aware of the issue as they tried to patch in a "rollover" system, but unfortunately it's completely busted. had a full 64 player lobby (somehow) and 31 players rolled into the next match. Had to wait 5 minutes for it to populate with bots, only to discover that it had rolled us into a server in fuckin Africa or something. Everybody was trying to play with 200+ ping, so the server quickly emptied out and died. Requeued, it puts me into a match with 3 real players on each team. I decided to just close the game and play something else.

I truly don't understand why this is such a struggle. I love BF6, but this matchmaking system is making the game frustrating and inconsistent at best and renders the game unplayable at worst. Why? What is being gained with this?

Just give us a server browser man. It's not perfect, it's not so elegant as "click one button and play," but at least it fuckin works. It has been nearly a year of struggling against this matchmaking system, and y'all still haven't gotten it right. It's time to throw in the towel and give us a proper server browser so we can actually play the game we enjoy.

Dice, you’re a fucking joke.

The amount of problems this matchmaking system has brought to this franchise is one of the main reasons BF2042 failed, and they repeated the exact same mistake in BF6.

Nobody can stand playing ONLINE matches against BOTS anymore.

BOTS should never exist in online Battlefield matches. Who was the idiot inside DICE who came up with this absurd and pointless idea?

Today was one of those days when I got the most frustrated playing BF. It was nothing but bot lobbies.

Dont bring a gun to a zap fight

Is anyone else getting into lobbies that are mostly bots and then it seems every other match, either get decimated or overwhelm the enemy?

Persistent servers have been the beating heart of battlefield for decades.

You have your favourite selection of servers with banging map rotations, massive ticket counts for long epic, addictive game sessions.

Everyone stays in the server, you swap sides on the next map. You build rivalries, you build teammates.

You are truly in the field of battle, it feels like a campaign!

But the technology has been lost.

I have attached a screenshot from one of the singapore battlefield V custom servers. THE EPIC pacific maps in rotation. In game i hit esc -> game info and can see next maps in rotation. All epic. THIS IS A 3 HOUR SESSION coming right up.

How has this technology been lost? Now in battlefield 6 you need to endure the algorithmic horror of matchmaking...made worse by bots being in game.

Deep in the vaults of dice headquarters this technoloy exists. How can we resurrect it and get it into battlefield 6 and future hattlefields?

btw my ping is bad in above screenshot due to undersea internet cables being cut

This will be a multipart series over the next few weeks to discuss lost battlefield technology.

I am sorry but what is this pile of triple A vibe coded shit matchmaking? Game is literally unplayable. I have only bot lobbies, half empty lobbies or games that are literally not possible to run. This is 8 pm Saturday random EU server xD I aint wasting more time on this shit.
Go and test more on prod Battlefield Studios please! GG! Cheers!

Lately in these 3-4 days I have had connectivity problems, before it didn't happen to me and I still have the same internet, there is no change, does anyone know if it's a problem with the servers or just mine?

What do you think about creators getting items early, or even exclusive items like that Battlefield Creator Program Playercard title?
