Steam rolling

Battlefield 6 has by far the moment consistent steam rolling (dominating) matches. Not necessarily complaining but it’s just funny to me how divided many matches are in balance. Sometimes I’m straight spawn camped, and sometimes I am spawn camping. It’s weird, I’ve never had this consistent steam rolling since I started battlefield at bf3. Funny

Something happened back in January where matches turned into lop sided messes, consistently.

I don’t remember this the first couple months after release AT ALL. It was definitely a sudden shift and I chalked it up to lower player base and they never tweaked whatever should be tweaked when those numbers change.

It’s DEFINITELY very consistent which can only mean it’s intentional. Why the hell devs want 30 people to get their ass beat for 25 minute matches is beyond me, but they do.

Last night I won a match on conquest 2 mins after it started, we took all the objectives on Cairo Bazaar and boxed them in their base.

We had 1184 tickets left.

Both teams were equally confused

I just played a 4 minute Conquest on Cairo Bazaar

I don't remember this during the beta specifically, but it feels like this has been that way since launch. At least with CQ, it feels like you're either playing with Navy Seals, or playing against Navy Seals, both of those scenarios aren't really fun.

In the beta, it felt like CQ matches were balanced, I had a few games that came down to single digit tickets, and if my team did lose, it wasn't by a 500+ ticket margin (at least that is how my brain remembers it).

Yeah I agree hopefully this gets looked at

Roll or be rolled is what i call it now. Especially on sobek

Yeah, I’m not a fan.. I like a battle between both sides and that’s just not the case with BF6..

It's due to bad netcode. What's happening is more players are ending up on one team with more netcode issues than the other team. This causes a massive imbalance in gun fight outcomes which determines the pace of the match. Skill cannot beat netcode, therefor skill balancing becomes irrelevent leading to unbalanced steam rolling games.

Yeah, I know what you mean by steam rolling. I really don't care what others say but this game is still a mess. The gunfighting mechanics are crap! Watched tons of videos in here on it. I don't think ithis game is all that good. Ive been on both sides of the steamroll. Makes me think are these players bots without the title?

Not every game. I played 4 matches last night. All 4 were very close. Like down to the wire. The steam roll does happen though.

I’m not saying always, but in my experience it’s mostly one sided. The occasional close match keeps me hoping

Cairo Bazaar is easily the most unbalanced map BF6 has on offer. I have seen the PAX (south spawn) win maybe 6 times on conquest. Every other match on that map ends with NATO (north spawn) holding every objective
