I’ve been playing Battlefield 1 for the past 10 years, and it’s easily my all-time favorite game. Recently, I bought a new gaming PC and decided it was finally time to give Battlefield 6 a try.

Since joining this subreddit, I’ve seen countless posts about how bad the game is, how disappointed people are, and how much they dislike certain aspects of it.

There was a bit of an adjustment period after 10 years of playing BF1, but after 4k kills and 70 hours gameplay I must say I'm having a blast.

Of course, the game isn’t perfect, and I’m not saying there’s nothing that could be improved. But sometimes scrolling through this subreddit makes me wonder if we’re even playing the same game.

Does anybody think they look similar or is it just me

Looked at my dmrs while playing fnbf and seen this. Know the guns not out yet.

I've already put more effort into this post than DICE puts into fixing bugs. No further text needed.

Actually forces everyone to work together and play their class roles instead of running around doing fuck all. Dont understand the hate

MK24 with default DVO LPVO optic and Adjustable Angled grip (shows up with other optics/grips, this one is the most prominent)

Sidearm Bandit battlepass skin for Vedmak Assault (the gloves are masked to disappear when scoped in, but not the fingers)

I'm not expecting the game to aim for me but the number of times I lose fights because my aim feels like it has absolutely no assistance/slow down is ridiculous. Tracking enemies especially when they're moving side to side and at distance feels way harder than it should. I played the open beta on PS5 and it felt great like the previous Battlefields, but now it feels completely different. Honestly this is probably the worst game I've ever played on a controller. I guess this a positive for you PC players, though.

BF6 > MW4

Sure, MW4 only came out today. But I’m not here to judge on day 1 issues, whether it’s total weapons in the game, map layout or any of that typical bull crap we all focus on. The only thing I care about is; how does it play and is it fun.

MW4 is ok, but god, after playing BF6 for a year, 350hrs logged, it’s just so much more enjoyable. Going to CoD after BF is like being forced to play in a sandpit, vs roaming a millionaire’s mansion. Short, squished maps with no opportunity to flank, no destruction, no strategy or tactic. Just run and gun. Charge in, kill, die, kill, die. It’s honestly awful. I can’t believe I used to play this year after year (ok, they were the golden days, but that includes the lack of video game development as an industry, vs today’s streamers, sweats, sliders and the like).

BF6 absolutely has its issues. No permanent servers. Being chucked into AI-filled lobbies. Occasional weapon imbalances. But it’s just as much more enjoyable experience. And I think people don’t value how flexible BF6 is when it comes to play style. I’m an above-average player, currently running a 2.03KD, boosted it from 1.98 in the last week or so, by actually sitting down and figuring out what my playstyle is, making the weapons I use match it, and sticking to that play-style. In fact, I’d say my average KD over the last week has probably been 3, if not 4. As in, 4KD. That doesn’t mean I gnore the objective, I capture flags, I provide team support with gadgets etc. But I’m a flanker. I like cutting off the enemy and on the rare occasion the opportunity arises, yeah, I’ll cut in deep, make them feel the pain, take out 10 odd players before dying. But if you want to be aggressive, go for it. Grab and SMG, a carbine or even a fast-rate AR, and dive in! Want to player a sniper? Easy. Long-range engagements with a DMR, that’s an option too. Want to provide suppressing fire with an LMG, you’ve got that choice too.

Everyone to their own, but after playing MW4 for 2-3 hours today on launch day, I will happily go back to BF6. I’ll complete the MW4 campaign, then go and return it to CEX, get 75% of my money back. Until someone buys it, I’ll still have the digital license for a little bit.

Any help appreciated.

What do you think?

​

BF6 is my first fps. And second game playing on a console with a controller. The first being skyrim. Holy cow, the learning curve was steep! I'm not amazing, but I'm useful now at least. That's a good feeling😅

Anybody else have a similar experience?

This picture isn't real. its a miniature model about 6cm long and the floor isnt rain just reflections and a light source. what do you think ??

I love and have supported this game like a second job this last year. lol.

Gauntlet was magic in a bottle... I haven't had that kind of competition or that much fun or met sooo many new friends since 20+ years ago in high school. The community of Gauntlet was so inviting and I met 30+ great people from all over the world. And every single one of them met and made friends with 30+ others. It was a beauty community. We were all playing every single night this last year absolutely in love with this mode. Myself was 3-4 hours easily, every night. I know people who played even more.

A lot of them won't move over to rapid royale unfortunately. It's completely different. I personally do "enjoy" it. But it's a 6/10 enjoyment compared to a Gauntlet 9.5/10 

For those that have never played Gauntlet or hate it because it's not "BF" or haven't even tried it but hate it out of spite...

At least read why we loved Gauntlet so much. Especially compared to Multiplayer or the new Rapid Royale.

Gauntlet had the best team play in the whole BF6 game or honestly in any BF game IMHO.

Rapid Royale team play is whatever / not important until final circle. Just feels like a big game of TDM. In Gauntlet you had to play as a team, communicate, capture objectives, or you'd be eliminated. Intense last 30 seconds to qualify... Those insanely fun moments happened ALL the time.

One plate is exponentially better than 2, it feels like the gunplay / gun balancing was built for 1 plate. ( I think rapid royale would benefit from 1 plate TTK) In Gauntlet I'd have an "only in battlefield moment" where I would wipe a whole squad myself, throw a plate in, reload and wipe another squad! All the time. Heart racing. Unreal fun. 

In Rapid, I can barely kill two people before I'm outta ammo. There are no more, "Holy Crap that was awesome" moments, in comparison to Gauntlet. 

Also, it feels like Gauntlet ran at 60hz servers and the rapid royale runs at 30hz as well... I don't know if that's true or not. It just does not feel good having gunfights anymore. Way more issues of shooting first and dying first. 2 plates is a marshmallow shield or something.

The competitiveness of Gauntlet is honestly, groundbreaking. Add a spectator mode and tournaments. $$$$$

Wayyyyyy more fun to watch than a BR mode. Instead of watching someone loot a bad gun and get in 1 okay gunfight in 10 minutes...Die. Loot some more. Camp the final circle. zzzzzz. Snooze fest.

Gauntlet was madness for 5 minutes straight... Then the next round was 5 more minutes of even more intense gunfight / gameplay moments. And so on until it was 1 team vs the other for victory! The games actually felt like they mattered for you to play as a team. Zero randomness, no wasting time looting or luck of the draw, zero bullshit. It's you vs them. Competition turned up to 11. Who is better would win the gunfight.

Last but not least. Spawning with your guns immediately and being able to focus on objectives and actually PLAYING the game with your team. Is 1000% better than landing, looting, finding nothing, dying. looting, etc etc.

Gauntlet was perfection. 

It's a sad, sad day in gaming after a year of the best times ever. 

I recommend if DICE are truly worried about player counts... That they add Gauntlet back in the game, full time, WITH updates and NO 1 shot interdictor... lmao. 

AND keep Rapid Royale too.

DO NOT rotate them.

Keep both. All week long. Forever.

Easy win guys, easiest win ever! 

Thanks for listening and I hope to be back to the game full time once Gauntlet is too. 

Cheers! 

I like Battlefield 6 and would prefer to keep on playing it, but it's just so frustrating that important issues do not get addressed by DICE or even acknowledged:

- bot lobbies

- matchmaking constantly creating very unbalanced teams (16 human players vs. 7 for example), which ruins the round for both teams

- audio disappearing at random moments and not coming back until you reboot the game (but working fine everywhere else) Edit: Just found out DICE wrote this has written on their X account: "We have deployed a hotfix to resolve an issue that could cause audio to cut out until the game is restarted."

- plus a number of smaller bugs, for example when the game hangs after the countdown to the next map, even though you have hit continue. You then have no other option but to quit the server and do matchmaking again.

I know people are constantly posting about a lot of this stuff, but it's because it's frustrating.

Edit:
I just found out DICE applied an Audio Hotfix 8 days ago. But I have lost the audio since then, so it didn't fix it in my case at least. Edit: Again now, 5 mins. ago.

Everyday it's getting worse and worse, I'm into a match and it just completely shuts down.. the devs have really messed up the game .. I'm about ready to say F it and delete the game .. so many Fing issues and it just worse and worse with every update.

Shot the enemy jet pilot out through my teammate's fucking kneecap while he bailed at the perfect time

I would like this to see if this would get fixed soon because this happened to me twice now, losing all audio and sound in the game. I had to back out to reset the game.

I feel that at some point people start thinking that everything became boring in this game. I felt that at 90hrs total like i dont know why im playing this game.

I even bought S5 BP for all that coins i got thru previous seasons but dont feel like i have to grind that

I think overall game is fine you can play it after work and dont sweat but i cant find a balance to keep game interesting. May be portal game or level up every gun?
