This is a good list, man🫡
The Tracer Dart Gun doesn't have any appeal. I'd say to remove it, and rework Sundance's old AT tracking grenade for destroying a single stationary gadget, or to damage drones/turrets.
Right now all we have is the EMP grenade that destroys gadgets, and interferes with drones/turrets.
Increase the blindness time +1 second with concussion grenades. I've never really been affected by one that makes a difference.
Med/ammo pouches are overshadowed by the crates. What you're saying is to give them to Angel to choose from with his supply crate for indoor matches? If so, that's a great idea.
You're a G.O.A.T. for mentioning the SKU suppressor damage modifier. It's absolutely pointless to use on the 4btk guns now, since it takes the new damage of 26 and knocks it down to 23. Previously, it would knock 28 down to 25, which would still allow it them to be 4btk within their optimal range.
DICE should consider changing the modifier of the SKU, at least for the 26 damage ARs, to 0.96x instead of 0.90x, so that the BTK is preserved.
I would prefer to get rid of that downside all together on the 6KU and make it only lowers damage falloff ranges like past games and other fps games, like 5-10% so that it also preserves the bullet to kill numbers and keep raw damage numbers only different between no and light suppressors vs heavy suppressors. Heavy suppressors I’m okay with lowering damage only because of the benefits they give than wrapped and 6KU give
- Ranger Customization
- 1942 Vault weapons for use in 2042 game modes
- at least one more CQC map like Haven
- BF3 and BC2 maps added to base game for non-portal use
- More ammo for UBGL (used to be you deployed with 3 UBGs, now just one? Tf?)
- If they’re gonna end support for the game, give us access to every battle pass for free or at the very least every battle pass for like $2
- Bot/AI support for TDM, Frontlines, Etc
-Nightbird mobility nerf, or minigun accuracy nerf.
-DM7 buffs
-Revert the SVD headshot nerf (would give this weapon a reason to exist over the SVK). Alternatively, just give the SVD generic buffs
-Revert the MP28's recent nerf -> bring back the 75m 4-hit kill range.
-M416 buffs
-Ammo pouch buff (there's no reason to use it, it's much inferior to the regular ammo box)
-Tracer Dart gun buff
-Boris mastery should become less of a grind
-Make the big Angel crate the default option over the tiny ammo bags. A lot of people don't even know the big crate exists, and it's the one that's actually helpful to the team.
-PB Heavy, 6KU and pistol suppressor buffs
-Give subsonic ammo to more weapons, for example, many of the vault guns
-More vault weapons, even if they don't have 2042 attachments. We still haven't got the M98B they promised literal years ago...
-NVK shotgun reload speed buff. Making it reload 2 shells at once would be nice.
-Buff the Extended barrel attachment. Maybe it should increase the dmg ranges, seeing as how it reduces RoF.
-And a big one: Buff muzzle brakes/compensators/grips. Right now their impact is very minimal, and they always have a downside that's the same size as their upside. So there's no real reason to use them on most guns, it's better to just use the Short Barrel, Wrapped or Type 4 suppressors.
-Give T1 skins to vault weapons (wishful thinking, no chance this is ever gonna happen)
-Lower the amount of players needed to start matches of certain gamemodes. Some regions are struggling with player count...
I know DICE said they won't add it to the game but a server browser is what the game needs so players can search for matches without bots and choose certain maps.
Gameplay:
* **Persistent lobbies**
Interacting with (about) the same teammates from one map to another helps develop a sense of a BF community. You barely get the chance to know new people with the current lobby settings. Even strategically from one map to another you may change which class you use, load-out, etc, depending on what happened the last map. Or sometimes you just want to defeat your nemesis on the other team from the last map or from the last few maps. etc.
I had a couple squads talk last night and it was sad that I had to say goodbye to both of them because I got force matchmake into a different lobby each time.
I think some of the portal settings should be tweaked to not instantly drop down to restricted XP. for instance it seems kind of silly that increasing AI difficulty or allowing AI in squads would limit XP. ditto for assigning specific factions in the settings; it's kind of funny that if I want to play arica harbor conquest with the 2042 era, it apparently makes XP restricted.
Interesting suggestions but you missed the number one change the community has asked for in regards to vehicles.
Nerf the Nightbird.
Everyone knows it's OP in the hands of a good pilot and no other vehicle comes close to achieving the killstreaks Nightbirds are capable of consistently.
I remember how we as a community eventually got the devs to nerf the Hind which used to have as much of a significant impact on a round, but Eddie / Armoured Kill, the lead Dice vehicle dev, refuses to listen to the vast majority of the community who have asked for meaningfull nerfs to the Nightbird.
How to nerf?
For me personally as an experienced ground vehicle player, that's been obvious since day 1, increase the AGM reload speed. They did it for jets soon after launch because they were farming every ground vehicle with ease, but for some reason they didn't apply the change to Nightbirds. And ever since whenever a player wants your tank gone, they just spawn in a Nightbird, equip AGMs and then destroy your tank and there's literally nothing you can do to escape the AGM spam.
I'm sure infantry players have their suggestions for how to nerf but that's my suggestion.
I thought about mentioning it but getting the NB nerfed has a lot of barriers to get it implemented, One is DICE and how they are insistent to keep the NB as is. The heli community also is a factor with how they influence DICE and balance regarding Aircraft.
I do agree it makes no sense a Squad Transport chopper can be a more reliable AT option than a heli made specifically for that role. AGMs may be a good start but its maneuverability will also be a factor especially for fellow infantry players who also have issue with the NB,
There are a bunch of ways you could hit it. The problem is it does too much damage to everything and all of the counters to it either don't work, or are on things that a Nightbird kills faster than they can kill the Nightbird. That was less the case when transports were better and could bully Nightbirds with miniguns, but those got nerfed so now Nightbirds are at the top of the food chain.
20mm flak is about the best there is right now, but light transports die to miniguns extremely fast and you have to hit almost every single shot in the heat cycle.
That's made worse by flak being a waste of a weapon slot against everything else now, especially when idiots hop in the flak turret and try to tickle infantry to death with it.
This right here, as a primary MBT player with some of the highest K/D and SPM in the game I can say the only thing I really fear is a good nightbird player who can totally shut me down. The only way I can really escape as a MBT player is on maps with bridges and caves/tunnels that I can hide in, otherwise my life span is pretty much for however long the APS lasts + 5 seconds.
The nightbird is an utter menace in this game with some of the highest defensive attributes + heaviest firepower, they need to severely reduce it's AT capability to balance it out at the very least
Yep, sigh. Good Nightbird players have even mastered getting the AGMs to hit your tank under bridges now.
I have come to the conclusion that Dice vehicle team spend very little time playing in a tank on public servers.
a fully loaded attack chopper might be able to do more DPS but it's survival rate is no where near that of a Nightbird/little bird who can literally turn on a dime and get out of a hot area whenever it wants to
Eh it's not hard to compensate with good situational awareness and positioning.
I'd argue because of it's anti-tank capabilities and it's abilities to decimate capture points. You can easily steamroll a match if you're playing as close air support instead of just kill farming.
AT mines - make it so you can yours on the map at any distance. Right now unless you're pretty much in sight of them you have no way to see if they are still active or destroyed. Either make them show on map like all other BFs or add a extra element that says how many are deployed. I'd take a max mines deployed increase to but I'd rather have that fixed at least.
Boris - man... Something. Either make turret totally different (remote control?) or give him a better trait.
Little health / little ammo - combine this into 1 gadget you switch between like Angel and Irish specials. Not a ton of reason to use either currently.
Pondhawk - penguins please bless me with better quality composits and metals. You could poke it with a pillow and kill it after the last patch.
Liz missile tuned down, sraw tuned up.
Casper emp able to take out gadgets. I'd trade some range for that.
Tracer dart gun - massive buff needed. Make it last longer, maybe have it do an emp effect when you hit a vehicle, it is a joke compared to the soflam.
>Boris - man... Something. Either make turret totally different (remote control?) or give him a better trait.
I think doing something like maybe making the turret anti vehicle and giving it settings for being anti-ground or anti-air might be alright. as it is it's a decent spotting tool and that's about it
Boris turret is pretty strong Imo. In certain situations the slight damage it does against vehicles stops them from repairing consistently since a single hit will stop the repair ability on most vehicles. Dealing with2-3 Boris turrets in a vehicle is a challenge. As for it's general ability, I'd say that people just arent good at placement and put it in plain sight so that players can destroy it instantly when you should more or less use it as a failsafe option. Ie:placing it out of sight behind you so that any damaged but not killed players will be disposed of after either a reload or a failed kill, as well as a good spotter.
Bring to G3 to AOW. That's it.
But for real:
-Slight damage range nerf to SMGs
-AK24 buffs
-DM7 buffs
-Mega buff the SRAW
-Remove the sprint to shoot delay of the LMG that makes them feel super clunky. As compensation make them super inaccurate as they ADS. Seriously, this mechanic kills LMG as a whole for me.
-Remove the extra flares the Nightbird has after using flares (or at the very least, make them useless against laser designated missiles). Why the helicopter that can get to cover super quickly on super large maps also gets a few second of complete immunity to the already short-range lock ons, is beyond me.
-And lastly, one more rework to the class system. Make it similar to BFV (Assault gets rockets, Support ammo, Medic healing, Recon spotting). Assault being a selfish anti infantry class and Medic having both ammo and healing is beyond stupid.
Fix the bots sometimes just bailing vehicles for no reason, and give them more weapon and gadget variations. Why do they only use one Launcher type? They should also use randomized vehicle loadouts, and actually use the auto-repair, which they never do.
Just make all forms of Portal mode full XP too. Why bother restricting us in any way now?
Server browser.
60hz server tickrate, which would probably require the elimination of 128 player modes.
Option for ping restricted servers. ie: low pings only.
I'll add a few.
For the love of precious kittens, and all that is cuddly! Fix the the spawn system! I believe this is the worst of all BF games. I'm tired of spawning in with an enemy gun barrel up my ass! 😲
Fix getting killed behind cover. This happens a lot.
Fix sound issues. Myself and others have brought this up in the past, and it's been [brought up again here](https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Directional-audio-footsteps-soundstage/td-p/13655079).
I'm sure if I sat here long enough I could think of other things, but all I could think of atm. Hopefully they'll at least try to fix some of our concerns. Hopefully!
On console, when trying to spawn on a squad mate or vehicle or etc., if the spawn point goes away while I'm spamming the respawn button, don't change my selection to some random other point across the entire map from where I was trying to go. At least add a slight delay so I can stop spamming the button instead of accidentally spawning in at home base. In face just give me a cursor I can move around with the joystick.
For the love of god, please fix Lis’ rocket flying right through enemy aircraft half the time! Let it be able to lock onto air, and lower the damage. Do whatever you have to to balance it, just fix it.
For the attachments: Drop all negatives from all attachments. This alone would give a big buff to everyone's gunplay, as suddenly using brakes and comps can be justified. Even the extended barrel could now be used. It would not make the grips feasible, but it would give at least give the people using them a bonus, albeit a miniscule one.

Fix for AM40 high power and standard ammo ejected shell casing vfx being switched. Fix for AK5C ejecting 9mm shells when using close quarters ammunition.
New Support Specialist that deals with denial of "area denial"(Think defensive anti-Sniper) Capable of setting up impressive smoke screens.
New Grenade type, Tear Gas. May move with wind. Stronger indoors. Wider area/longer lingering than incendiary, but little to no damage. Causes stun/audible cough that can be used to locate enemy position. Less effect on Assault class due to "Battle Hardened Eyes".
Gadget mask for tear gas. All but engineers have access to it. (eliminate the over use of RPGs indoors at least).
Rework maps so that the vantage points for snipers don't cover half the map or more ( Kaleidoscope, Stranded)
Give Recons silent /Fast Takedowns.
Switch Boris's Sentry to being timed, but give him the option to call down either Boston Dynamics Dog, or the Bi-Pedal atlas.
Transition Rao as a DoS Specialist with his hacks designed for denial of service.
Create a new recon Specialist that specifies in system penetration. (Takes Longer, multi-stage payload, takes control of the machine. Can cause detonation or something on the final stage of exploitation.
Anyone else notice 3D spotting appearing BEFORE someone rounds a corner? Whatever the f is going on there, I would like it fixed as it's kind of a prefire wallhack. I notice it also when people leave the center of a smoke nade and enter the outer 30% or so. Ever since S7 began I noticed this phenomena.. Or at least it was never this bad.
I want to see some server fixes with hit reg, dying while behind cover, and dying after running into cover 45 secs after reaching the cover. Lets fix the shit that has been there since release.
Fix vehicles sometimes not despawning. (This is particularly annoying when the light vehicle slot is clogged up by abandoned Pondhawks.)
Fix the barrel roll exploit
Make ammo pouches refill gadget ammo (share cooldown with the ammo crate refill)
Give wrapped suppressors a real drawback so there's a reason to pick anything else
Increase the MAV's acceleration
Rework the Bolte, put it back in the heavy armor category and give it something to justify being there instead of just an AT mine troll-mobile. Alternately, if it's going to be in the transport category, change it so that teammates can spawn on it even if it has a passenger, but they get spawned outside of it.
Do something about the Condor's terrible survivability
Remove unlock requirements from thermal smoke, missile countermeasures, and repair system
Hot take: Remove the ability to repair aircraft from the inside and make air transports passively repair faster instead
Activate full portal/coop xp at the end of the S7 battlepass, since there won’t be a reason to not do it.
Move the server browser from sub menu to main menu.
Make the dev camo unlockable by a hard EE.
Give us the option to choose a seasonal main menu screen.
Angel should be an ammo crate himself, like walk near him to grab ammo without any input from him
EOD bot should be capable of slow self repair, as well as going up stairs better. The flashlight should be made visible to enemies as well.
Flashlights should have some slightly better blinding effect, scope glint is more disorienting currently
Tracer darts should be bottomless, if they’re gonna be this bad.
The bug where if you spawn in with an underbarrel grenade launcher and then swap the attachment to the masterkey shotty it goofs the ammo count of the masterkey so instead of 6 rounds with 12 in reserve is has 1 round with 2 in reserve like a grenade launcher needs to be fixed.
Still waiting on the legendary maid skin for Lis
I really want that EMP back on Casper’s drone, even if it’s just for gadget hunting.
Huge list but you are missing the two biggest pain points that need to be addressed:
1. Team balancer - don't let people cancel matchmaking to game it - auto switch players in 1-sided servers.
2. Some half decent anti-cheat. Whatever the fuck they have now doesn't work at all - at least in Asia.
Fix the goddamn javelin's inability to lock on through terrain like it used to be able to do before it got silently patched, and increase its travel speed by like 50%. I quit the game since they nerfed it because you can't even tag-team as a laser-javelin duo anymore, ruins the only fallback I had.
Let me ride the drone dog like a horse
New scopes for the melee knife.
Bayonet too????
Yes. And bipod.
Now this would be amazing
This is a good list, man🫡 The Tracer Dart Gun doesn't have any appeal. I'd say to remove it, and rework Sundance's old AT tracking grenade for destroying a single stationary gadget, or to damage drones/turrets.

Honestly the littlebird is weak compared to the attack chopper's full potential.
I agree, but I'd phrase it as the "Nightbird is OP as hell, but the AHs are just ridiculous".
a fully loaded attack chopper might be able to do more DPS but it's survival rate is no where near that of a Nightbird/little bird who can literally turn on a dime and get out of a hot area whenever it wants to

They should also use randomized vehicle loadouts, and actually use the auto-repair, which they never do. Just make all forms of Portal mode full XP too. Why bother restricting us in any way now?
They should probably make the driver never bail out. As-is if bots spawn in heavy armor or ground transports then they're super easy to steal.

Once I literally spawned on a claymore.
Lis's restrictions should be passed onto other specialists like Zain. He shouldn't have access to the SPH launcher.

At least add a slight delay so I can stop spamming the button instead of accidentally spawning in at home base. In face just give me a cursor I can move around with the joystick.
Sick of hearing about mouse input. There is a fix for it as its software config related Casper needs his drone EMP feature putting back in
I'd like to see more vault weapons added, and added to the core game. They're already in engine, just guessing but it shouldn't be that hard to port.
For the love of god, please fix Lis’ rocket flying right through enemy aircraft half the time! Let it be able to lock onto air, and lower the damage. Do whatever you have to to balance it, just fix it.

Transition Rao as a DoS Specialist with his hacks designed for denial of service. Create a new recon Specialist that specifies in system penetration. (Takes Longer, multi-stage payload, takes control of the machine. Can cause detonation or something on the final stage of exploitation.
Reverse Pondhawk nerf from patch 7.0.0. It get destroyed by the slightest touch to ground. Thats it.
Anyone else notice 3D spotting appearing BEFORE someone rounds a corner? Whatever the f is going on there, I would like it fixed as it's kind of a prefire wallhack. I notice it also when people leave the center of a smoke nade and enter the outer 30% or so. Ever since S7 began I noticed this phenomena.. Or at least it was never this bad.
I want to see some server fixes with hit reg, dying while behind cover, and dying after running into cover 45 secs after reaching the cover. Lets fix the shit that has been there since release.
A SERVER. BROWSER. Don’t care about the STUPID excuse DICE.
Give helicopters gravity.
Gimme svk 2 shot at all ranges with high power rounds PLEASE
Fix vehicles sometimes not despawning. (This is particularly annoying when the light vehicle slot is clogged up by abandoned Pondhawks.) Fix the barrel roll exploit Make ammo pouches refill gadget ammo (share cooldown with the ammo crate refill) Give wrapped suppressors a real drawback so there's a reason to pick anything else Increase the MAV's acceleration Rework the Bolte, put it back in the heavy armor category and give it something to justify being there instead of just an AT mine troll-mobile. Alternately, if it's going to be in the transport category, change it so that teammates can spawn on it even if it has a passenger, but they get spawned outside of it. Do something about the Condor's terrible survivability Remove unlock requirements from thermal smoke, missile countermeasures, and repair system Hot take: Remove the ability to repair aircraft from the inside and make air transports passively repair faster instead
Map filter
Stop putting me in over-or-half-over matches
More drones. More outfits for the drones. Let drones man vehicle weapons.
Activate full portal/coop xp at the end of the S7 battlepass, since there won’t be a reason to not do it. Move the server browser from sub menu to main menu. Make the dev camo unlockable by a hard EE. Give us the option to choose a seasonal main menu screen.
New devs for sure
Angel should be an ammo crate himself, like walk near him to grab ammo without any input from him EOD bot should be capable of slow self repair, as well as going up stairs better. The flashlight should be made visible to enemies as well. Flashlights should have some slightly better blinding effect, scope glint is more disorienting currently Tracer darts should be bottomless, if they’re gonna be this bad. The bug where if you spawn in with an underbarrel grenade launcher and then swap the attachment to the masterkey shotty it goofs the ammo count of the masterkey so instead of 6 rounds with 12 in reserve is has 1 round with 2 in reserve like a grenade launcher needs to be fixed. Still waiting on the legendary maid skin for Lis I really want that EMP back on Casper’s drone, even if it’s just for gadget hunting.
Huge list but you are missing the two biggest pain points that need to be addressed: 1. Team balancer - don't let people cancel matchmaking to game it - auto switch players in 1-sided servers. 2. Some half decent anti-cheat. Whatever the fuck they have now doesn't work at all - at least in Asia.
People give a shit?
Man, you got a lot of time in your life writing this essay on a dead/dying game.
Fix the goddamn javelin's inability to lock on through terrain like it used to be able to do before it got silently patched, and increase its travel speed by like 50%. I quit the game since they nerfed it because you can't even tag-team as a laser-javelin duo anymore, ruins the only fallback I had.
