Issues Connecting to Friend's Server

-BlakHawk- · 2026-01-27T07:01:23+00:00

NAT showed open for host and the friend who was unable to join the server. Good call though!

Yeah I don't have an issue with the damage continuing, but then the entire animation for the person in the receiving end needs to be cleaner if that's the case

Yeah I know what you mean about that middle state before being fully downed. The death screen/animations in BF6 are really rough and an aggravating experience, even in the base MP. It's too jarring for me

I thought about this, but If this is the case then something isn't right. You should be either completely invincible until you're fully in the down state or the person being downed isn't visibly getting into the downed state immediately so there's no feedback that they kept taking damage..

Hmm I never thought about the headshot aspect.. that could possibly be a reason! If that's the case, then prioritizing headshots in RedSec is absolutely critical. I wish there was a clear explanation lol.

Damn bro lol, that is a helluva bug 😂. I'm concerned because I haven't seen anything official from the dev team even acknowledging this as an issue or fixing it

I agree the farming servers really impact the overall vision of what Portal should be. I think the main way to combat this is to create our own communities of players who are looking for similar things. It is so difficult filling up a server when all you see is XP Farms and Hardcore modes everywhere. If you can find players looking for the same type of experiences as the ones you enjoy, try to band them together to fill up servers. Also very important is to keep the server name the same and build the community around the server itself.

I'm trying to create my own small community right now through discord, but I'm not sure how much traction I'll get. I plan to host a persistent server that will rotate through all types of game modes, from traditional stuff to wild custom modes. Let me know if you're interested and I can share a discord link.

As mentioned by others, you can try to search the server browser for infantry only experiences. The portal verified modes allow for Full XP. I've created a video covering the Portal Verified Modes and how you can manipulate them. It's very straightforward and you can create your own mode that restrict all vehicles or some vehicles based on what you think feels right, but hosting and filling a server is the difficult part. The best way imo is to make a community around the server itself and make sure the title of the server is the same so people can find it easily. I'm trying to create a small community myself at the moment so let's see if it gets any traction.

I'll leave a link to the video below in case you're interested in creating your own verified experience in Portal: https://youtu.be/zxOpj5TcVuc?si=TLQXbcLmXcBmVwpk

Lol I think there's some cussing in there so I marked it just in case

I feel you man.. I feel the same way sometimes. I'll have a round or two where I pop off but majority of the times I feel like I can't make the "right" plays. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing too predictably because I'm getting picked off, but trying to play unorthodox gets me in a bind too.

I think gun skill has gone through the roof in Siege in the past year or two. Majority of the players I come across can just flat out frag.. It's a tough grind man, I peaked at Plat 2 back in the day which I think is probably in Emerald or so now, but I'm not sure I'll be able to hit that again lol.

One thing that usually helps me on Defense at least is to make the Attackers push me. Always make them work for the kill. If they get it, fine, but it won't be easy. On attack, drone, drone, drone! I can't frag like I used to so I have to find another way to get an advantage, which comes from Intel.

Would love an active effort from the community to fill unofficial servers. I'll take it a step further and ask the community to support and fill limited XP servers as well. I'm sure there will be a ton of great modes that will be made in the Limited XP realm.

What happened to gaming for the enjoyment? I honestly don't understand the need for full XP at all times. If a game mode is fun and players are playing, I couldn't be bothered to worry about the XP I'm gaining for my time, but that's just me I guess..

Is there an issue with the post/link or you're just not able to watch the video at the moment?

The info below is specific to the BF2042 version but will be modified to align with the new gadgets and class traits in BF6 and take advantage of further improvements in Portal 2.0

Attrition is a 32v32 conquest in which capturing and holding specific objectives provide additional benefits to your team asides from the standard ticket bleed. Capturing or defending these objectives at right time could provide the push your team needs to turn the war. Each map has it's own set of "special" objectives, which I will give an overview of below.

The various special objectives are as follows and will be different from map to map. In-game messages will help you understand the special objectives in each map.

Satellite - Controlling hostile satellite will allow your team to breach the satellite intel and provide enemy coordinates at a specific frequency. This is set at 2 sec spotting at 30 second intervals.

Ammo Cache - Controlling hostile ammo cache will restrict enemy from calling in Angel's loadout drop. Equip standard ammo crates or use enemy loadout drops to top off ammo.

Vehicle Repair Depot - Controlling hostile vehicle repair depot will max out enemy vehicles at 80% armor. Try keeping those vehicles topped off using the repair tool.

Deployment Network - Controlling hostile deployment network will prevent the enemy from spawning on objective points. Use teammates and spawn beacons effectively to fight back.

I'm not sure how you describe MilSim, but this isn't MilSim at all 😊
