Why are extra class slots locked behind challenges? And you only get three.

I'm right there with you guys. I threw my hands up after season 1 hit. It's not out of a dislike for it per se, I think it's a good game, but it just doesn't draw me in as much as I hoped it would and the long-term prospects for me are dire. And I say that it's a good game with the implication being that t's a good game now, in this era of gaming, because we've been subjected to so much garbage since fortnite blew up and cod fell off. The maps are my biggest complaint but other things that agitate me are feeling like you're booting up cod when you get to the menus, the hell they make you go through for engagement metrics to unlock guns and gadgets that might not even be that great, the mechanics of contemporary multiplayer fps games with the fast movement and being able to slide around on your asshole everywhere. I'm just tired of it. I've gone back to single player games like I had done for a while there and just enjoy it more at this point. I had my time in the sun back in the heyday of the genre, these modern day multiplayer games just aren't for me or my generation. I'm not the target audience and it's better to just accept it and move on.

I'm also in the same boat, the game was fun but some of the design choices and lack of true server browser killed it for me

Most recent update made it so if I leave a march the menus become unusable and to get back into a game I have to restart the client. Also somehow the performance is getting worse

I see Battlefield 6 was updated for winter themed maps and cosmetics. Empire State in the snow looks nice. However, in Conquest, there's a lot of engagements where you're flanked left, right and BEHIND. One instance I spawned IN FRONT of an enemy. I see a lot of players don't like it; chat is spammed with players "being here for the fucking challenge."
I will have to play more of this mid-season refresh, but Empire State does not give a good first impression for Battlefield.

I see "fuck" and "shit" in chat uncensored.

Can confirm. Looks like a bug where leaving a match mid-game requires a restart to make those options accessible again. They had a similar bug like this for Parties in early November, though that was fixed so I expect the same here. Also yes, matches seem to be laggier imo.
The only things that bother me realism-wise are the sliding and bunny hops still being a thing, and the rail gun as a battle pickup. The former has been around since 3, though I'd be happier if dropping to prone was the more viable tactic, and the latter has also been around previously and is rarely picked up so I can't complain much.
I'm not a fan of the Ice Lock Domination gametype, but I have to be honest: in less than 2 hours I only have 3 challenges left, and all are available for 2 weeks, so it's really not that hard for the patient.
The worst map imo is New Sobek City, and at least for Conquest it needs to have its points moved around. The tallest building is just too domineering, and 90% of the time NATO just seems to get boxed into the corner.
I've seen people start with "knee" and someone else completing it with "grows".

You too? I had that happen five times.
Don't tell me that Empire State is the only map for the winter event.

Well, you said not to tell you, so...
I'm not surprised given it was the only one they advertised, but Liberation Peak would be such an easy map to winter-theme it's already halfway there.

They need to fix the damn spawns. What sense does it make to have a squad spawn right in front of you near an objective?

I thought the worst one was around Objective Bravo on the Pax side. I found myself spawning behind the same police car bordering the point, though some squadmates were taking cover behind so I'm not sure if that played a part.

i fell for the 80 dollar flavor of the month game too, feels bad, i uninstalled and moved it to my hidden library the other day
edit: i've said niggers multiple times in chat, i've called my team retarded niggers a few times, nothing bad happened to me, but i dont recall anyone acknowledging my chat so i had assumed it got censored, not sure

Incendiary Airburst Launcher challenge for Support appears to be fixed. I was under halfway in progress before the update, yet having used it now completed with minimal effort.
The bugs to the menu are annoying, but they'll probably get fixed and I don't mind the update for the content that it provides. It reminds me of the singleplayer mission in Bad Company 2 where you had to run between fire sources in the blizzard to stay warm, though incendiaries should provide warmth, especially if you're on fire.
The worst aspect for me was Ice Lock Domination as they require you to be either John Wick or a lemming, and throw yourself at the points to get majority cap. Admittedly I'm a Conquest guy, only played it for the challenge, and I'm not the best of team players. The best players are the ones with 10 copies of their own kit in the zone they capped and won the game with, but I'm fine with just taking it slow and just accruing wins through the occasional team, and fortunately that happened early.

This was another great example of one of those games I find myself launching constantly but never enjoying. Then I go "wait, I could literally just uninstall this and never touch it again" and realize how much happier I'd be. A bad, boring singleplayer is just that. A multiplayer? That shit ruins your nerves.

I would say with Battlefield 6, it's a good game but there are lingering issues (challenge/player progression, navigation, map layout) that make it harder to appreciate the total package. I had a honeymoon phase with Black Ops 6, but I'm used to Call of Duty compared to Battlefield.
Perhaps the best way to describe my experience with the multiplayer loop is burnout. It's fine in short bursts, but prolonged engagement reveals the cracks in its foundation. However, you'd need to engage in Battlefield long term to understand its intricacies. How classes perform, how weapons work, how maps SHOULD work in its sandbox; it's not something everybody could just jump into and learn off the bat.
I would say if people are interested, wait for a sale.

Couldn't say it better myself. A bad single player, you'd have to deal with the game's logic, storytelling and mechanics. A bad multiplayer (experience) DOES ride on you. You have to deal with multiple factors: netcode, map/weapon balance, other people. Actually, a better analogy for this would be like being stuck in traffic.

In all fairness, I experienced burnout during BF4 and BF1. If I took the approach I have nowadays of not caring about winning or being top of the scoreboard, it might have been less aggravating at the time, but I didn't pace myself and was immediately gunning to get 10000 kills on the M16A3 from Day 1.

Frustration is the word. I can be focused on the exact spot on my screen someone is and not see them as they kill me. So heavens forbid when enemies aren't right where I am looking. On the bigger more open maps, I find it frustrating that you just constantly get killed out of no where. There's times where you feel like you can't do anything. You just get sniped, or blown up by a tank of heli or whatever.
The game also lacks a comfort map like Metro. Where you can almost just check out and play on auto pilot and have fun. It'd be really curious how a map like that would even play in BF6.
This snow map mission challenge or whatever wasn't thought through, or maybe it was. It's not fun to just play the one map over and over again. Challenges like the heals in warm zone is another far to onerous challenge to complete. Is it designed so people just buy to jump levels?

There's another challenge where it requires kills while freezing. Now, I like the subtle details where the gun shakes from the shivering and the screen frosting up over time. However, it does not elaborate on HOW you're able to "freeze" yourself. I'm guessing when you're camping or when you're outside.

Outdoors/away from fire barrels. The effect is hard to miss once its started. I did run into a bug the first day where the first cq game i was put into was ice lock, but staying in the lobby put me into a normal empire state match with snow textures but no ice mechanics
