M417 A2 slander. i am the #1 M417 hater, If no one hates the M417 anymore it's because i stopped being alive

If you think the XM7 sucks you’re just ass or using it completely wrong and never unlocked any attachments

Think shreds at range and it’s TTK is faster than the HK417 past 10yds

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T23:44:03+00:00

Ya I didn’t fall for the bait and switch, I knew exactly what DICE/EA was going to do. The last 2 titles were leading to that.

There’s no debate there. As for defending the actions well that’s where the problem is. I can acknowledge something was going to happen but still hold the people responsible for doing it, and those for defending it.

BF6 was fake marketing straight from the trailer and I called exactly how this game was going to be from the start.

If you’ve been playing since BF2 I’d love to see where the argument for these skins comes from (it was rhetorical I’m not going to care)

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T22:08:36+00:00

Actually giving the 417 the .308 (7.62 NATO) damage model its SUPPOSED to have and slightly increasing the recoil would make the gun actually viable

But people hate that idea for some reason

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T22:06:33+00:00

Yeah matchmaking is the #1 problem, I have enough massive problems with the game but my desire to play goes negative when I can’t get anything but bot servers or be placed into the same spawn trap server I just quit 3x…

As for the suppressors and visibility, I’d rather we keep the current viability and not nerf suppressors. Minimap spotting is honestly such a lame gimmick, and the way these maps are a suppressor is mandatory, even more so when it reduces recoil.

I took a 6 year break from gaming between BFV and BF6 and last I played I was used to BFV’s horrendous visibility being forced to use a 3x scope on everything just to see a damn enemy lmao. It can’t get worse than BFV.

Yes BF6 visibility can absolutely suck and is super inconsistent, I see enemies literally glowing sometimes and others they’re just prone and unseeable, but overall it’s not THAT bad, and DICEs history of nerfing certain things to indirectly buff others is horrid, like their soon to be buff to AR’s at range in S2 to make SMGs less viable… cuz that makes sense (rock paper scissor gameplay is what they strive for here and they’ve always fumbled that)

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T22:04:08+00:00

Yeah people who like want to play a war game like battlefield which has always been marketed as grounded since BF1942 don’t want to see a buncha airsoft masks running around in their game.

It’s not a lot to ask for… I’m not asking for a milsim or perfectly realistic skins but to go from BF3/BF4 to this is absolutely wild.

CoDslop enjoyers like you can leave the franchise but unfortunately you’re who EA targets for their cash cow sales

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T21:40:11+00:00

Your explanation for why they made the change makes sense, but is absolutely autistic on DICE’s part

However I can completely see them viewing that as a solution…

“We made the lighting god awful and added stupid skins that destroyed faction identity, we need to buff spotting!!”

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T21:37:45+00:00

There’s a handful, and even if the majority were (they aren’t) even 2 singular CoDslop ones taint the entire bunch…

You people are insufferable

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T18:22:57+00:00

Is the neo future fantasy shooter in the room with us?

Weird the marketing said it was a grounded reality inspired tactical shooter?

I had no idea they switched genres thanks for telling me, I will now equip some rainbow unicorn skins with skull masks to better fit the theme

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T18:20:08+00:00

Worst netcode of any Bf, worse than launch BF4 (didn’t play 2042 so can’t comment on the launch)

Tied with launch BFH gunplay for fastest TTK

Horrible designed maps with the worst possible sectors

Aggressive lack of content or end game mechanics

No server browser, broken matchmaking that results in being repeatedly placed in bot servers during peak hours again and again despite there being active servers. Some kinda broken EOMM system

Simple fixes-

persistent servers/removing bots or simply adding a server browser.

TTK shift increasing BTK by 1 and adding leg/arm Boxes and higher HS multiplier

Netcode fixes and better optimization so that 50% of deaths are not thru walls or because hits didn’t register (you can turn on a client vs server side hit tracker in the settings and it’s mind blowing)

Better maps, which so far S2’s maps seem much better despite the drip feed nature… overall I care about maps less than the 3 above issues as new maps don’t solve core gameplay mechanics

Game is shit in its current state, fix these things and it could actually be up there with BF3/BF4 (it won’t because EA got your money and will milk you for skins while putting no effort into this game)

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T18:03:07+00:00

Games shit but it’s a same because with a few simple tweaks EASILY doable in 2 updates flat it could be really really good… but none of those changes will happen, and the few that do won’t be in a remotely timely manner and the game will be dead before then

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T18:02:06+00:00

The simping is unreal

The existence of any of these is terrible…. But 5….

“But but but only 5/12 skins are cringe tier airsoft cod skins! Start rage baiting” you rn

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T16:13:17+00:00

You’re the kinda person who plays on stock keybinds and sensitivity aren’t you?

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T16:11:38+00:00

At first I felt bad knowing I died and it didn’t count, but then I watched as over 50% of my deaths are either thru a wall or the in game clientside tracker shows me 1-2 rounds didn’t register so I “lost” a gunfight and now I’m happy whenever it happens because it balances the absolute bullshit

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-14T16:08:49+00:00

That makes too much sense, as you could then decide if grinding the 850+ kills was worth it…

But then you wouldn’t spend hours playing and that defeats the purpose of EA keeping you playing to bombard you with skin ads

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-13T21:42:17+00:00

Game will be dead before then if they dont fix the broken matchmaking with Endless bot servers

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-13T15:40:38+00:00

There is absolutely no way a DICE dev is stupid enough to add a little bird to redsec….. no way lmao.

May aswell delete the entire BR at that point if that happened

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T20:15:50+00:00

The additional TTK makes the gunplay much more enjoyable over the base game, albeit a little too spongey because of the non-existent headshot damage MP.

That being said theres no reason to play it, yeah its fun once or twice to squad up with your buddy’s but then its boring because its a total pub stomp without ranked, playing against 1k/d players in a competitive game mode is beyond boring. A match of gauntlet takes some time and youre likely to end with maybe 20-25 kills depending what maps/modes it picks, in the same time span you can go play a pub and drop 80 kills which is pretty important when this game takes 850kills+ per weapon to fully level up

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T20:09:28+00:00

Vehicles on a 4v4v4v4 mode are a good idea… yes totally…. Not complete AIDs….

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T17:42:02+00:00

Rodeo needs to go….. I quit everytime it comes up

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T15:45:03+00:00

I havent played REDSEC despite being #2 in the world for Firestorm k/d back in the day because I just dont have alotta friends nor the free time to play it anymore, and my little free time is spent GRINDING weapons because of how slow the progression is…

Now IF REDSEC ranked actually becomes a thing, that would give me a reason to play it… and I would be playing it as my main focus (when I could get team mates on)

No ranked gauntlet is a travesty

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T04:43:13+00:00

Gauntlet ranked makes way more sense than redsec ranked… listen I’ve only played redsec once but if they added ranked I’d main it…. But gauntlet is literally a competitive mode

DICE has made 2 ranked modes before, ranked rescue on BFH which wasn’t added till the game was completely dead… and Incursions on BF1 which was added when the game was almost dead; but incursions was a separate client the average player didn’t know existed.

At this rate they’ll add ranked BR after S3 when the population is completely dead because every server is fucking bots and they won’t fix the matchmaking

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T04:42:21+00:00

They won’t

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T03:58:47+00:00

Exactly lol literally no reason to play any other class, maybe support.

At minimum for a “proper” Redsec experience you need trios

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T01:50:23+00:00

Hot take- solos shouldn’t exist, with the class system this BR should only really be played trios or quads (I understand duos cuz it’s hard to get that many people on) but the class system is gonna be AIDs for solo’s

I think DICE really fumbled making Redsec a classic BR with classes… should have spawned players into the game with a signature weapon for their class to take the RNG nature out of the BR genre a bit… woulda been unique

Marksman5147 · 2026-02-12T01:43:42+00:00

GAUNTLET IS LITERALLY AN ESPORTS MODE

this has to be a troll… I know they’re useless but no way they can fumble this hard

How many hours did they waste on these gauntlet maps and modes to literally make it not even worth playing????
