i made a discussion and it derailed a bit, i argeued with some poeple and all, some of them were console guy… i mean if i knew , meh …sorry no time to, wrong platform man , we play 3 different games!!!, ps xbox, and master race PC ( loljk) But those console guys should thankx us PC players cuz in the first place Battlefield is a pc game who was ported to console Codenameeagle pc 1998 refraction studio ( now Dice) Bf1942 pc only Battlefield vietnam pc only Bf2 pc only Bf2142 pc only Annnñddd bf3 when most real comp teams left the franchise. At the same period Dice said to modders to stop because it was thier intellectual properties. This is why we cant make maps and stuff, it was possiblle in the past but it stopped. Mods were more popular than tha base game maybe is the reason they closed them even if those modders were not paid and asking no money to distribute All these dead comp community of bf are dead( maybe around 300 big clans) TEAM WARFARE CYBERAMERICANLEAGUE CAL league WORLD TOURNAMANT ( ONLY HAPPENED ONCE) THIS WAS when bf was conpetitive with competition on 2v2, 5v5 8,8 12v12 etc. SEASONS, PLAYOFFS AND ALL Back in the day you had to install a SPECIAL PATCH TO JOIN THIER SERVERS TO COMPETE TO BALANCE THE GAME FAIR FOR ALL!!! THIS WAS REALLY REALLY VERY BALANCED WITH THIER PATCHES Back in those days some team were remunareted like what you see with the fortnite kidos!!! Lesser paid , but remember its those guys who paved the way to make videogames competitive but it no more competitive since when bf3 hit the market. there is totally no real comp in Bf since bf3, and most of the community ( SRVERSL HUNDREDS OF CLAN) LEFT THE FRANCHISE WHEN dice decieded to refuse access to modders to make cool maps and new vehicules and weapons!!!

I think I understand what you are getting at. The thread is a bit all over the place and contains ALL CAPS so it’s hard to read. As you don’t view the topic from multiple sides here’s some contrast: Back when BF had people host their own servers and the game was easily moddable and cheat makers were relatively novice and gaming was not big business. Now cheats have become sophisticated, running at kernel level are being sold professionally to a much bigger market. Games have probably locked down their code to protect against cheaters. If you released an open version of 1942 but just with new graphics and people began modding it and making it their own it would probably, sadly, be cheater heaven. If you want to go back to a truly moddable multiplayer Battlefield games today I think you have to build the entire game with that in mind - you need to make a wide and flexible end-user API and framework that’s good enough to mod a game at that scale while still protecting the back-end logic from hackers. I was seriously hoping Battlelog was heading for a new update with tournament support and further improvements to the configuring of the game and servers to enable this but people complained too much about having to use a browser that Battlelog got closed down instead - it had such potential ☹ ---

Next Battlefield (doenst matter wat version they come up with) Should include to make batllefield great again, (and mybe, i say mybe if there lucky we come back): - CTE - Battelog 2.0 (mybe some API) - Own Servers including ProCon . - Actieve Form Members That listen to the community on [battlefield.com](http://battlefield.com) that dont close/ban users that are _criticized_ 😉 - A “Open Topic” To report BUGS / Don`t go ewald with numbers of sites, stick to 1 site where we can report all, and that is [battlefield.com](http://battlefield.com). - Premium MAPS like BF3/BF4 had back then. (meaning time line of releases including END game) - List is long, so i keep it short (like i posted earlier: forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/202993/dice-ea-need-to-take-carefull-look-at-this-to-get-battlefield-back-into-its-roots#latest ). - Its Needs it`s roots back! ---

Wouldn’t mind battlelog v2 but keep it out of a web browser, integrate it into origin. Just like steam has it’s own server browser/groups/friends etc. I hate when they keep spending effort and design time into making new server browsers…every…single…game, there’s no need for it, just a basic system like gamespy used to be would be fine. As for modding, i think there’s no point…while mods are great and people put a lot of work into them the standard is usually very average, i’d rather have dice give us more options for hosting with more control over specific elements so groups can customise their own experiences. I DO think the game could do with a map making tool, especially if they want to continue down the live service path(why pay people to make maps when the community will do it for you), i know they’ve stated there’s reasons why they don’t but i think there’s VERY good reasons to make an effort and fix those issues. Having community design maps is the cheapest path to game longevity(i’d make heaps if they got a basic editor like the farcry editors). ---

Back in the day, people could make their own COD maps (original MW, I think). Mixed quality, for sure. But they were bigger than the stock maps. ---

> [@Matty101yttam](#): > > Wouldn’t mind battlelog v2 but keep it out of a web browser, integrate it into origin. No Matty101yttam we need it back in the Browser because being able to link your server via social media is a huge benefit to communities and events. They should do what Danger Close did in MoHW, make full Battlelog functionality and an in game server browser\quick match function for those who don’t like Battlelog or are on console. I will say in mid to late BF3 it was nice being able to launch your console version of BF3 via Battlelog and join the correct event server as well. ---

I will say in mid to late BF3 it was nice being able to launch your console version of BF3 via Battlelog and join the correct event server as well. Leaving it in the browser leaves it open to external issues, for instance chrome updated something once and caused battlelog not to work, there’s also overhead taken by simply having the browser open that’s not needed. Everything can happen in origin, they just need to make the system incorporate the ability to be linked and dump all the extras that people may have installed that are attached to their browsers. Browsers are for browsing, keep each specialised so they can both do only what they need to do well. ---

I found battlelog in browser very easy to use. Simply bookmarks server and later 2 clicks to join game. ---

Leave it out of Origin. You can however easily embed a website in a custom chromium based browser. That way you can have Battlelog in a browser without any UI where DICE controls everything and you can’t mess anything up with extensions etc. ---
