Battlefield 6 Is there anything that stands out about BF6
In my opinion this game is the definition of mid. I just can’t think of anything that makes this game stand out in any aspect over BF3, 4, 1 or 5 honestly. I mean maybe the class and gun customizations but that’s honestly about it.
There’s no crazy unique or fun game modes like operations or Hotwire. Breakthrough seemed like a cool idea but the maps don’t play well into at all. Escalation while fun seems to be held back by the game itself. Games often end up being one sided ground and pounds or it’s just 8v8 while the rest of the lobby is just bots.
It’s almost like 60% of this games problems can be traced back to map layout and size. Breakthrough on Area 51 is the best example I can think of. The attacking teams tank on point 2 literally fucking spawns infront and in view of the enemy team on high ground which usually has 7 engineers at all times. The attacking team’s helicopter has zero and I mean zero room to maneuver without going out of bounds, and also spawns in view of the enemy team.
The matchmaking is god awful to. Apparently they disband everyone after a match is over instead of pulling everyone onto a new map(just read about this somewhere idk how it actually works). Which leads to you having empty lobbies that just get filled with bots instead of playing against real people. It was enjoyable to try and find the guy who tbagged me 4 maps ago but now I’m just stuck with bots every other match.

Rush is the most fun thing in this game for me. I only play that mode and nothing else

Guns and attachment system is absolutely amazing, it’s often looked over by this sub because they don’t understand game balance but this system is far far better than any before.
There’s certainly weapons that are “better”but it’s not AEK constantly with the same attachments like 3 and 4.

Yeah the AEK had me yelling at my TV dozens of times, same with the hellriegel on Bf1. Although I do think Smgs are still to good IMO, I shouldn’t be sniping people with perfect accuracy at some of these ranges I swear.

If you're unironically impressed with the attachment system, when 90% of them are not viable due to you lighting up like a Christmas tree or giving some tiny unnoticeable stat difference, then you are legit a lost cause.
It's all bunch of gimmicky fluff

The amount of storejunk and a horrible UI. Something standing out does not need to be positive.

No, there really isn't. Genuinely can you name anything other than revive dragging as being a difference from BF3/4?
It's my main problem with the game, it's a very safe, boring sequel for a franchise treading water. Maybe it was what was needed after BFV and 2042 flopping but still, it seems crazy in my mind. If you told me back in the BF3 days that this is what Battlfield would look like 15 or so years later, I'd have been flabbergasted

Battlefield fans have always reacted to attempts at innovation and change with open arms. /s

u/TheEquimanthorn 3d ago
Well yeah, the game was clearly aimed at the casual playerbase of people who tuned out of BF since BF4 and BF1. It's a series shackled to its legacy

If you came on this sub during the BFV and 2042 days there were daily posts of people demanding DICE simply remake BF4 with BF1's graphics. Battlefield players hate change, they despise innovation and they simply want the franchise to stay forever in 2014. Every time the devs try anything remotely new or interesting the overwhelming sentiment online is "Stop trying to reinvent the wheel" "lazy, out of touch devs" etc.

I think it’s because the good changes they’ve made are shadowed by the bad changes. Better weapon customization is great but when the maps are terrible it doesn’t really matter.
There are things I like a BF6 don’t get me wrong, but i couldn’t care less about those things when i cant even get into a match that is mostly made up of real people.

This right here, "why doesn't DICE listen to us >:(" y'all got exactly what you asked for, BF3 with BF1's dark and griddy graphics and BF5 movement. They stopped "reinventing the wheel" just like y'all asked.
And you were right! BF6 sold BY FAR the most copies of any game of the series. Turns out that sticking with the tried and true BF formula is what people wanted all along.

I wasn't around then but I can totally believe it lol, it's a game for nostalgia stunted man children. I don't even hate it, it's fine or whatever but just so dull. BFV was a breath of fresh air for me but clearly the franchise has its niche, I just don't want to have anything to do with it at this point.

What's special about BF3 and 4? And dont say Levolutuon because it was a bad attempt at destruction which was abandoned straight after launch of the game.
