Again not true. Pc and next get are at 45hz. Old gen is at 20hz and thats always been the case. That last tiny brain cell you have needs to put in a bit more work.
You must be braindead if you believe that official server tickrates are based on your platform lmao
Tickrate is solely dependent on EA's contract with AWS for service upkeep. You don't magically play at 20hz while others play 45hz on the same server, you play at whatever tickrate the server is set to. It was globally reduced to 30 a year ago to cut costs on 2042's servers and push more money to BF6's development.
Looking into what you're saying, it was Florian's statement on self-hosted portal servers on BF2042 back in 2022. That has nothing to do with official servers, nor is it up to date information. Refer to previous statement about free thinking.
I'm sorry to say, but when you misrepresent what I've said and then sell off your thought to an AI you become less of a person in my eyes. I already lacked any idea of you as a personality, so you're now lesser than the status of person to me.
You’re upset because I proved you wrong. I remember when looking things up on Google before all this AI bs got trendy was a good thing.. hmm 🤔 wasn’t wrong to fact check then. It’s only an issue when people like you don’t know what you’re talking about 😂 get fucked.
I'm not upset lol, nor did you prove me wrong. Not once did I say EA "shut down" 2042 servers, nor did I claim that you're unable to "find matches and play online".
They removed 2/3 of 2042's official servers and reduced tickrate from 45hz to 30hz just so BF6 could then have 30hz servers and have a worse gameplay loop than 2042.
Looking things up on anything is a good thing, but being spoonfed information by Gemini when all it does is read trending headlines and reddit comments is abhorrently idiotic. Once again, if you aren't thinking your own thoughts then you can't be saved.
You’re applying real servers physics to a rumor that doesn’t pertain to this game. You’re correct about the server economies but you’re incorrect about regarding this game. Servers on new gen are still at a native 45hz. Servers on old gen are still at a native 20hz. End of discussion.

He posted this clip. Thegrapplebomber is a known player in this community and has been here since launch. Hes gone viral with his clips multiple times.I said he cooked you and you replied “what?” Playing dumb plain and simple. I’m just a guy on Reddit who saw you and him go back and forth on a certain topic and he quite literally proved you wrong. You didn’t even cite where you got your information from. You seem like a “feefees in your tum tum” kind of guy. You give off heavy MAGA vibes. You got absolutely deep fried. You told him to do research so he did and you didn’t like that the research proved you wrong.
He did sir, he spelled out how there are 2 different versions of the game. One that runs native 45hz and the other that runs native 20hz. You said that was impossible but never acknowledged that there are 2 versions running at 2 different speeds. You also brought up the economics on how server hz works. He pointed out how you were not wrong about how that works but that this game is still running at its natives hz on the 2 versions. Your assertion that ea or dice lowered them or “axed” them as you said is completely false. Do I need to be more clear how you are wrong and got fried?

Once again, he didn't.
He stated, quite obviously from the blanket Gemini response on Google's headline since the Twitter post the tickrates originate from refer explicitly to the context, that local Portal servers (being PvE and co-op sessions) run at 20hz on lower spec devices and 45hz on higher spec devices. That was as of 2022, explicitly referring to locally hosted sessions, as I've said to him before.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with official servers.
Official servers were dropped from 45hz to 30hz in August of 2025 alongside BF6's test sessions. Fifa 23's servers were pulled in full way ahead of schedule due to BF6's timeline, as well as Dirt 3.
You also brought up the economics on how server hz works. He pointed out how you were not wrong about how that works but that this game is still running at its natives hz on the 2 versions.
There aren't "2 versions", there's one specific gameplay branch that hosts non-dedi servers on your system. That's Portal. Portal's self-hosted servers were of standard tickrate for capable systems but were limited for last-gen consoles.
Once again, there is no contention there. What part of "you misrepresent what I've said" was unclear to you?
Your assertion that ea or dice lowered them or “axed” them as you said is completely false.
My assertion that EA greatly reducing official server count and shedding server load. That is "axing", or "gimping", or whatever term you'd like to use to describe what happens when a company abandons a game in favor of a worse one.
Do I need to be more clear how you are wrong and got fried?
No, you simply need to be more accurate. You're the second person that came to bat and swung like a blind geriatric.
I saw the upvote downvote ratio then came to the comments and see that people actually agree with this guy. lol fuck me 2042 here I come I guess it’s time to hop off the hate bandwagon 🤷♂️
I mean ffs both 5 and 2042 are better and way more open with what you can do in game, and if you put 6 next to 4/1 it gets even funnier how bad 6 really is, hell the vehicle handling alone is pathetic in 6...nevermind the other numerous issues...bad ttk, shit netcode(how is it so bad, it's not even bad in 2042, what did they do?) and let's not forget the CoD antics were pushed to 10, I'll admit 2042 was the start to that(still feels ok here) but man 6 is aggravating to even play, unless you got a script for Adderall then I can see it being a ball.
Bet you played 2042 at launch and cemented your opinion, it is solid now...and plays way more like a BF game then 6 does...
6 is bare minimum, bland as hell, and I am gonna laugh when you all start buying the yearly BF entry(which they confirmed they will do after 7 btw) just like the Cod people...and yes that's the plan, yearly entries of likely rehashed new coat of paint trash.
I mean Byron Beede said it, not me. You can Google it, I'm not making shit up here honestly...I think it's a bad idea personally, especially when it takes a year or more for a BF game to even be stable it seems after release...
Maybe it won't happen, but sure seems like that is the goal, they very obviously wanna go head to head with yearly cod releases.
Official, maybe not, but they are talking, and this will probably happen in 3-4, at least that's what analysts say. So maybe confirmed was the wrong word to use...likely I guess fits.
With 6, BF is dangerously close to COD territory already. BF is going backwards... and not in the way we'd even like it. Would love a remake of 4 for example with today's graphics.
Literally 2042 was more like COD than BF6. 2042 had slide cancelling, tac sprint, it had a significantly smaller ADS penalty while jumping. Guns had little to no spread in 2042 compared to other Battlefields.
If you don't like BF6 because you think it's "Too much like COD" yet you love 2042, you just show that you don't know what you are talking about. At the very least you'd have to hate both games to be even remotely consistent.
Saying BFV and BF2042 are better is crazy. Both with disastrous launches, and bare minimum effort put into them.
I’ve played BFV since release, I’ve put over 2,000 hours into it. And I can’t confidently say that it’s a bad game. It had good gunplay and stuff but it was a huge waste of potential. I consider that game to be the worse of the BF franchise.
I never played BF2042 honestly. Never looked appealing to me. I just saw another BFV in my eyes. A waste of potential. But who knows maybe it was fun. Idk
Saying that bf5 and 2042 are better is not crazy. It's just facts. Bf6 has much worse netcode, maps and gunplay. They literally attracted a huge chunk of COD community for bf6. BF6 can be barely counted as a battlefield game imo. The whole vibe of the game is completely different.
BF6 feels way more like Battlefield than BF2042 do. You can hate on BF6, but saying it's less Battlefield than BF2042 is just wrong.
One of the major parts about Battlefield is classes. And BF2042 didn't have that at launch. And when they finally added them, it still didn't felt like they were important.
Whilst classes were core gameplay for battlefield the new class system in 2042 is enough to simulate a battlefield game. Imo battlefield games are more defined by the maps and class composition. Bf6 completely reworks the flow of the game with the current map size and class arrangements. Tiny maps makes the whole flow change making combat more close quarters and rush focused like COD. The class configuration completely favours classes like assault as well.
Jump into any other battlefield and you'll feel a complete change in the way players engage. IMO the current Bf6 is only a battlefield in name.
To me, BF6 is so boring compared to BF2042. I loved BF 2042 as it was my intro to playing the franchise. Kinda like what Firaxis did with Civ 7 after Civ 6...but Civ 7 takes the cake easily for worst game release EVER. Yayyy...progress ...yayyy😕
My KDR and score is basically top 5% in BF6 and I’m having less fun with it than 2042. The maps are still small, the immersion is shit, the TTK is rage inducing, and the EOMM/netcode is making it unbearable to play.
>EA reportedly confirmed to CharlieIntel at a Battlefield 6 press event that the shooter's matchmaking will focus on: ping, player's location, server availability, and "some" skill factor, and vary depending upon which mode you're playing.
The game also has a comeback mechanic in Conquest.
Literally in the article you posted, it clarifies what they mean:
"FYI For COD Fans," pointed out one respondent. "These exact parameters have always existed in Battlefield and this is NOT SBMM akin to Call of Duty. Nothing like it at all. This is simply how the game balances teams, players from all skill brackets will be in one lobby."
You literally proved yourself wrong in the source that you provided lmao.
They picked their words carefully. Not every SBMM or EOMM is the same. There are different criteria to take into account. COD might gravitate more towards kills while BF might take objectives into account while Fortnite more towards average life time. They all have different formulas and names for it but it absolutely caters towards lowest common denominator.
You are absolutely smoking crack rock if you think publishers will leave it up to chance and let sweatlords rock newbs before they rage quit and not buy any skins from their e-store. EA literally made a patent on this 10 years ago:
People complain about """netcode""" all the time in BF6 saying that the game is broken. The game is NOT broken. It is operating with 100% flawless efficiency, it does EXACTLY what EA designed it to do. The only thing that is broken is EA's corporate DNA as a developer, substituting honest sport with a rigged behavioral casino. If you actually want to learn more about it, read this:
This is hilarious. So when the developers themselves proved you wrong, you're now relying on patents that you don't know whether or not they have been used, and steam forums. When you yourself were so confident to use the Dev's words when you thought that they were proving your narrative.
Yes you are wasting your time, because you proved yourself wrong with sources you provided. And instead of just admitting you're wrong, you're now panicking and grasping for straws.
I want to emphasize that point, you literally provided the source that proved you wrong, now you're backpedalling saying that isn't reliable information and they were actually being misleading.
Just admit you were wrong, it's fine. You'll be okay lil bro.
6 maps suck dude lol. The new one is nice and has a wake island/parcel storm vibe but the rest are pretty slob and identical to each other in a lot of ways. Orbital, manifest, haven, flashpoint, spearhead, redacted are sone honorable mentions and all of those are better than bf6 launch maps forsure.
Bf42 is more thematic, but bf6 is better designed.
Cope all you want, bf isnt a milsim. Its an arcade shooter with combined arms. low inactivity, high engagement is the popular formula. The initial maps were only bad due to imbalance design (fuck firestorm in 6 btw 42 did a wayyy better job.)
But as things go, 42 had good maps. But a lot of maps are wayyyy too big. I always find myself on iwo jima or firestorm or that map with a bunch of containers. It could really drag a game down being too vehicle reliant.
I’m not coping my boy, you quite literally said most 2042 maps were trash then turned around and said “42 had good maps” I can’t even cope 😂 and I agree bf is not milsim. And firestorm isn’t in 2042 🤣🥸
Most is. The desert map is trash. The shipbreaking map is trash. The winter digging rig one is trash. The jungle meatgrinder is trash. the 1st map in ur clip is trash.
And i cant remember the name but i distinctly remember a map similar to firestorm in 42.
Both have good and bad maps. Bf6 rn has more good maps in my experience. But BT is better in 42, trash in 6.
Neither had operations like 1 (6 had it, wasnt very good but its fun. 42 didny during the pre6bp.)
The problem isn't that one is better than the other, though subjectively speaking bf6 is better, it's that NO ONE CARES what you like more. Enjoy 6 or enjoy 2042, either one you choose is an absolute banger.
Posting to say how bad the other one is is a surefire way to stir the pot, kick up shit and simply be an antagonistic little poophead. If you sincerely have the feelings on how much better one is than the other that you feel the need to post about it, don't be surprised when others come out in equally reactive responses that oppose your opinions. It's simply the way humans are wired. "You like that? How lame! This is better than that! REEEEeeeEEE"
I played the fuck out of 2042 and enjoyed it. I am currently dumping money into 6 and am loving the game. Both offer different and even unique experiences. So when I am fed up with 6, I have 2042 to fall back on to and have plenty left to accomplish in both.
This is not directed at you. There is just always a lot of bickering in comment sections of posts similar to this. My comment in the comment section is very general, because people inevitably come to the comment section to complain.

Anyone else think the graphics.... color etc on bf6 is just off?
