Less than a week into season 4 and I've now been queing for a redsec match in prime time for an hour. What a joke.

I never understood why it existed; Firestorm was a absolute faliure, and i feel that the BR genre as a whole has just kinda gotten boring over the years.
i THINK Redsec came to be because it was intended to be for more casual players.
Warzone has a lot of sweats and cracked out kids who spend more time running in game than they do in real life, meanwhile fortnite is... fortnite
Personal oppinion? I think Redsec should be put on the backbone; BF6 should come first 100% of the time since that is what the players want, and i gotta ask how much more content would BF6 have if Redsec never existed?

They probably would have made a more expanded destruction system if they hadn't put any time on Redsec. Literally the only interesting thing about that mode...
The BR genre as a whole is dead now; it's not the trending genre to hop onto, and idk how players find any interest in it anymore. I know Hazard Zone failed, but let's be honest, it mainly failed due to extreme laziness, but either way, the current trend is extraction modes or games. I'm surprised they didn't try that again over an outdated BR mode.
Not like I would been interested in playing a extraction mode either but that is the trend rn...

You live in Australia... Aussie servers aren't usually populated. Games die faster

Redsec pretty much killed bf6. The moment i heard about redsec i knew bf6 would become a sidequest.

It´s litteraly the otherway around, Battlefield 6 killed Redsec, and as soon we all knew it would come out it would be a sidequest, as it is.
Dont know what you are yapping about.

I think they are right in saying Redsec killed BF6, because after it came out, BF6 was just in a straight-up messy state until more recently. They are only just recently addressing issues with the game that were mentioned back during release/beta and adding content that people wanted all the way back during beta.
Even though Redsec is apparently handled by a different team, it felt like it was taking priority. The thing is, at least Redsec sucks so much that it isn't as drastic of a hit as it was for MW19 when Warzone came out.

The game is balanced around BR and all current issues with the game are direct result of that. Awful ttk, netcode and weapon balance, all those are made with BR in mind, they work in Redsec, but main game suffers alot. People ask all the time why do weapons have such high ttk? And the answer is simple: if ttk isn't lightning fast, you won't be able to kill anything in BR, because of extra hp in form of armor plates.
That's why we won't see any major ttk/ttd rebalance as it would take enormous amount of work and Dice doesn't have the time for it.

This usually happens when one lives on an island like country , for example redsec Gauntlet works well in South Africa, but try and search for ranked BR or BR there are no players really playing. So same issue i have. Luckliy i only play Multi.

Redsack is just a copy&paste of CoD Warzone with a few battlefield soundeffects so i do understand why people not playing it

It’s a bug, just queue e.g Gauntlet for 1 second, unqueue and then requeue BR.

Fair enough, i barely touched that game mode for obvious reasons.
