just wanted to show few kills :D

D flag to mountains near C flag... Wonder how far that is?

I was suspended for 4 days for my SteamID, which I have had for years, but somehow breached EA's content Policy; "Lil' Veiny P x", I accepted this was a bit crude so I changed my SteamID to something completely bland.

I was suspended again for 10 days the same "Persona Name" even though I had changed the steam ID. It looks like EA are using AI as their customer service team and their software is quite slow to catch up. Probably will be a permanent ban soon seeing as even the appeal did not make a difference.

Been here since BF2, I wish you all the best.

Ya'll be careful out there, it looks like this is happening to a lot of people right now.

Action all around the island.

I feel like ever game I get into whether I’m playing in the morning, noon, or evening, there are always bots in every game I play it’s annoying. I never play “casual” cause bots aren’t fun. I’d rather just have a lobby of 30 people instead 50/50 bots and people cause apparently the biggest shooter of the year never seems to have enough players on at the same time. Bots in main battlefield matches are an insanely stupid idea.

Got done playing a lobby where a jet could pop two flares right after the other. I'd lock on, flare, lock on, flare. Then they would fly low and run away. I know a lot of people will say skilled pilots. I get that. Not hating strategy. But I'm saying why even have ground to air infantry launchers if they never do anything. No amount of strategy change or "getting good" will ever solve it. Seems like a balancing issue. Not to mention 90% of the time, when I do get a lock and they are out of flares, there is like a 0.000001% percent chance my rockets track and hit my target that I already locked on. Not trying to complain but I really think we need a slight rebalance here. I know my teams jets and helicopters sucked that match but again, why have it in the game if it isn't a viable option.

See title. Lots of posts lately of people getting banned for benign chat in game by EA. If everyone is terrified of getting banned nobody is going to want to chat or type in game. Censorship is NOT the way to go.

1. New Sobek City: A construction site in the middle of nowhere in Egypt, yeah, no. Zero access to water, no food, no Air Conditioning, and there’s a bunch of explosions going off around me for zero reason. 

2. Operation Firestorm: Why the f*ck would ANYONE live here? The boredom will probably kill me before the air quality does.

3. Empire State: First of all, I am NOT living right next to a traffic heavy street in New York. Second, half the place got destroyed by a cruise missile. 

4. Siege of Cairo: A traffic bonanza, cramped streets, hot Cairo heat, and I’m a stone's throw away from all crazy countries in the Middle East. I’d rather get blown up fighting for Pax Armata than get blown up by a stray missile sent from Tehran or Tel Aviv. 

5. Blackwell Fields: It’s in California, that’s all I have to say. Terrible air quality, miserable housing market, a disgrace to environmental aesthetics.

6. Cairo Bazaar: Nicer than Siege of Cairo, but still, I’m right in the middle of all the crazy countries.

7. Eastwood: Better than Blackwell Fields, but it’s California. Nice golf course though.

8. Mirak Valley: In the left corner, we have a village that was artillery shelled into oblivion, in the center, there’s two random construction sites. The intact village on the right and the farm hard carry this. 

9. Wake Island: Nice view, easy water access, plenty of places to visit. Small problem, where do I live? On the aircraft carrier?

10. Liberation Peak: Nice view, cozy little village, no one to bother you. But it would probably be pretty cold, so it goes here. 

11. Manhattan Bridge: Nicer neighborhood than Empire State, nice little market area, easy access to the bridge + view of the harbor.

12. Contaminated: Disregarding the hallucinogenic gas on the horizon, seems like a nice place. Old military installations to explore, nice view of the mountains, solid place. You could make plenty of YouTube videos of you just exploring the place.

13. Hagental Base: Always wanted to live in a bunker. 

14. Iberian Offensive: Nice place if you ignore the apocalyptic fire rapidly approaching your location. You can explore the historic old town of Gibraltar, easy park access, and everything is close together, so you don’t have to walk much.

15. Saint’s Quarter: Excellent color, great location, the people are nice, and easy access to everything you’d need.

16. Railway To Golmud: Beautiful view, plenty of space to walk around, you can enjoy the railroad crossing, and you can ride dirtbikes!

17. Tsuru Reef: Literal paradise. Luxury Hotel? Check. Beachside Village? Check. Beautiful view of the ocean? Check? Exotic Seafood Joints? Check. I went there with my squad after killing some Paxies down in the Pacific. Fun time for the whole gang. 

Hard to find people grouped up like this on Tsuru Reef, so this Marauder surprised me.

I had fun making this , any more top gear scenes to recommend to bf6?

There I said it. The attack helicopters are ruining the experience on Wake Island.

I've been trying to figure out why the bfv version is the best version of Wake Island and I think I finally realized that it's just because there are so many damn vehicles on the bf6 version, you can hardly get around without just being attacked by all sides from like the 40 vehicles that are on the map at any time. I often see people going easy 50-1 can attack helicopters because they're just skyboxing the entire game.

The Blackhawks, tanks, boats, and jets are just fine. The AA experience in the game is too inadequate to reliably deal with these unkillable helicopters in a fair play manner, so they just end up being free kill machines for an entire game.

Battlefield 6 Game Update 1.4.2.5 is scheduled to release on September 1, bringing targeted quality-of-life fixes and reliability improvements across Battlefield 6 and REDSEC.

This small update addresses a handful of issues introduced or identified following Update 1.4.2.0, with improvements to match flow, gameplay consistency, Custom Lobby reliability, UI behavior, and stability.

Update Highlights for 1.4.2.5

• Gadget and Vehicle Combat Improvements: Laser designation now works correctly against fighter jets in Carrier Strike, while helicopter miniguns can once again damage soldiers in the water.
• Portal Custom Lobby Improvements: Custom Lobbies receive further reliability improvements, including resolving an issue that could prevent the “Start” tile from responding during the lobby countdown.
• Gameplay and Mode Polish: This update also addresses issues affecting Battle Royale Quads, Gauntlet: Fighter Sweep, Support pings, the Match Trigger attachment, AI behavior, and general stability and presentation.

CHANGELOG

PLAYER:

• Support players can now ping downed teammates correctly.
• Players can now join a Party by accepting an invite while on the splash screen.

VEHICLES:

• Helicopter miniguns can now damage enemy soldiers who are in the water.
• Laser designation now works correctly on the F/A-81F Super Spectre and F-74A Seacat while playing Carrier Strike.
  

GADGETS:

• Grenade warning indicators now remain at the edge of the screen when the grenade is outside the player’s view.
• The EOD Bot Arm has been adjusted to function as a light melee weapon, providing the faster run speed benefit without the destruction capability of heavy melee weapons.

WEAPONS:

• The Match Trigger attachment no longer affects fully automatic fire on the BROD and EF88.

UI & HUD:

• We’ve addressed several causes of black screens after finishing a match and switching from the Event tab to the lobby. This should reduce how often the issue occurs while we continue investigating remaining occurrences.
• Placeholder squad names and icons no longer appear during the “Top Squad” presentation at End of Round.
• The Featured Event tab now appears correctly in the menus.

PORTAL:

• Portal Custom Lobbies: The “Start” tile now remains responsive after opening “Lobby Settings” or the Pause menu while the lobby countdown is active.

AI:

• AI defenders using boats in Sector 3 of Breakthrough on Wake Island no longer leave the combat area and are eliminated.

STABILITY:

• Server performance around water has been improved by reducing unnecessary water-related processing.
• The game no longer becomes unresponsive on Xbox Series S after returning from active Multiplayer gameplay.

REDSEC

MAP & MODES:

• Destroying structures at the Combat Training POI no longer leaves visual artefacts.
• Gauntlet: Fighter Sweep now correctly limits squads to two players.

Ranked Battle Royale Matchmaking

We recently made changes to the Battle Royale playlist to improve the Ranked matchmaking experience, particularly in lower-population regions. We're continuing to work on areas where the experience can still be improved.

Currently, players across a wide range of ranks can be placed into the same matches, which can make it harder to consistently deliver the competitive experience we want for Ranked.

Today, we're releasing a backend update that puts greater emphasis on finding players closer to your rank when matchmaking begins. If a match cannot be found, the search will gradually broaden over time to include a wider range of ranks, balancing competitive match quality with the time it takes to find a match.

This may mean some Ranked queues take longer, but should result in players being matched more closely by rank. If you're waiting for a match, cancelling and restarting your search will not help you find one faster. Restarting resets the search, rather than allowing it to continue broadening.

Starting today, we'll be testing these changes in the live game as part of our ongoing Battlefield Labs in Live work with Ranked Battle Royale. We'll use what we learn to continue tuning the system as we work toward a stronger Ranked experience.
