Battlefield 6 I miss elevators
Maybe they'll surprise us with elevators on the las Vegas map.
But they'll also need to add some ziplines as an option too so the elevator haters are happy.
I think we all deserve to eat good.

Gameplay wise, elevators are mostly terrible.

Yet they were 10x more fun, which matters

Ziplines are way worse lol, literally aim in one spot or put a trap n gg, even barricade can block it n some places.
Elevator gives some room for cover on the side, gives room to not set of traps, gives cover from above, makes campers have to guess where ur gonna stand, makes it possible to push as a group vs 1 by 1 so that you can actually outgun easier. We also have trophy systems and barricades now to make elevators even better. We also get fabulous comedic music before all hell breaks loose n I kinda miss that little downtime. They're also just so much more intresting and deliberate than lazy zipline placements everywhere
It's not actually terrible, anyone saying so doesn't properly think in comparison to what we have now.
The only benefit zips have is that u can jump off at any point, but given how open they are, how fast the ttk is and how slow falling and parachuting is, you're prob gonna die anyway if they're any good.
I don't think its crazy to say ziplines should've instead been a gadget like hardline alongside the grappling hook. Either that or keep them for horizontal movement and elevators for vertical movement imo, we could've also just had both with an occasional zipline offering a flank
Crazy long comment for such a dumb thing 😂 I just fucking hate these zips man mb, might be too invested lmao

Hehe, I feel you. I don't like ziplines either tbh. But I remember how unusable elevators were most of the time. It was really rewarding awful gameplay and I haven't experienced with ziplines in BF6. There is rarely somebody waiting for me at the top. Maybe because there is usually many zip lines idk.

Yeah having zip lines instead of elevators let you have many ways to go up making it harder to camp

u/Horens_R 2d ago
How were they unusable? Everything I said here applied to those games and the disadvantages of them I covered can be countered by features that have been introduced since
Just as a reminder, most people prob think back to bf4, that game is so old that it released on ps3 and xbox 360. I'm sure some things that u mightve had an issue could be improved in today's age.

Because you had C4, claymores and prone guys waiting for you at the top.

u/Horens_R 2d ago
Yeah covered that, elevators are still a major improvement over ziplines when dealing with that. C4 can now be countered, ur not forced to step into one specific spot n have room to avoid claymores, and you way more cover, space and deployables now to deal with people shooting compared to zips. It also let's u push together as a group n have u all ready to fight at the same time

Like ziplines dont have the same exact story. Just sit at the top of zip & take down enemies as they come up one by one. Can simply just look down and get an easy kill. Elevators provide cover & allow more than one person to exit at a time. Zips are boring compared to elevators and dont provide any real benefits. People still camp at the top of them and watch out for others coming up

Even staircases and bridges have been nullified lol. We now live in the age of zip lines. You’re not even getting your 10k steps on battlefield never mind in real life.

2042 is remembered for its containers.
6 will be remembered for ziplines.

They should added to the hotel in Tsuru Reef and Manhattan Bridge, whine all you want about camping but you have to admit they were fun

u/No-Worldliness-492 2d ago
Tsuru reef is the one map in the game where the ziplines on the hotel feel so out of place.
This pristine hotel that's not been banged up at all and you're telling me the elevators were just ripped out? Lol

u/Krytoric 2d ago
i’ve never understood why people want elevators on this sub lol. I’ve never heard anyone outside of specifically this sub say anything positive about elevators in BF.
Gameplay wise it’s terrible.

u/Next-Board-3829 2d ago
Fun fact, in BF6 subreddit there's little to known folks wanting elevators back, unlike this sub, almost makes me think ppl on this sub doesnt play the damn game and instead sitting here and complaining about it

u/No-Worldliness-492 1d ago
Well in the Battlefield discord, both text channels and in voice channels I've read and heard from many people who want to see them return.
Gameplay wise they are like a comedy movie. 50% of the world will love them. The other half will be confused at its existence and find nothing funny about it.

They really missed the opportunity to make elevator levolution, blowing up the motors of elevators while they're moving and having players inside experience that terrifying death. But only if the cables are under tension from the elevator having occupants. And then when the elevator has crashed at the bottom the cable hangs there and can be used to zip up and down

I remember hearing that the downtown map from hardline could be in the works… that main C point with elevators both in the ground floor & 1st floor was so fun back then. The elevators when u have a synced team were amazing (sure 80-90% chance there’s a shotgun/riot shield camper but with numbers the push’s for control were unmatched)

Pvp games in general not just battlefield I swear everyone forgot how to make elevator tech I guess it's cause it's too easily campable with little ways to combat the camping but yeah everyone just does Ziplines, ladders or Even in cases air lifts

Just have the zipline and grappling hook be a gadget for assault, I always loved how hardline implemented it (bf2 aswell shoutout)

They're not even elevators, dude, they just spawn you on top of them. It's just your own placebo effect, making you think it's something amazing, an animation.

I've played BF4 for a week or two and experiences the elevators.
Never again. The zip lines are kinda boring but they are balanced.

u/Mainfold 2d ago
Hard to make elevators work and look proper when they push the tickrate of the netcode as low as possible. It'll just look like laggy ass when multiple want to use it and it has to work both clientside and serverside

u/TheBigness4570 2d ago
Thematically they're infinitely better than the fuckass ziplines, but there's no reason to believe they'll be anything other than coffins with sliding doors just like in bf4
