I’ve spent eight hours immersed in Battlefield 6 this year, and let me tell you, it’s been one of the most thrilling gaming experiences I’ve had so far! I’m a die-hard Battlefield enthusiast who was absolutely ecstatic when I got my Xbox One back in November 2013. My mom allowed me to pick just one game, and without hesitation, I chose Battlefield 4. This game offered the thrill of 64-player matches, which I had been craving for a long time. In fact, it consumed almost all my gaming time for an entire year! I was so hooked on this game that its successor, Battlefield: Hardline, couldn’t quite live up to my expectations. However, I still invested countless hours into the subsequent games because they satisfied my desire for large-scale warfare, a niche that isn’t quite filled by other games out there.
Without further ado, “Battlefield 6” has certainly sparked much thought for me, and I’m confident that gamers will be thoroughly pleased when they finally get to play it. Here are ten key points that stood out to me during my playtime.
10) Battlefield 6 Feels Like Classic Battlefield
Above all else, Battlefield 6 seems to be the long-awaited sequel to Battlefield 4 that I’ve eagerly anticipated for more than a decade. The battles are thrilling, the devastation is immense, and nothing compares to the all-encompassing feeling of full-scale warfare. Even though it returns to 64-player games, after 2042‘s 128-player matches, the size and scale of Battlefield 6 is still immense. It’s raw, authentic, and fills a gap for the casual modern warfare shooter that has been largely missing for years.
9) The Class System Is Back
In Battlefield 2042, several fundamental aspects of the Battlefield series were mishandled significantly. One of the most glaring issues was overhauling the class system, introducing elements like Specialists and hero characters with unique abilities such as grappling hooks. This modification made the choice of class less impactful, which in turn hampered team play. However, Battlefield 6 has reintroduced the classic class system, focusing on the importance of each player’s role within the game.
Each character has had slight adjustments, and their functions are clear right away. Assault takes the lead by annihilating defenses with explosive devices and swiftly eliminating enemies using automatic rifles. Engineer is responsible for fixing and destroying vehicles with various tools and launchers. Support maintains a defensive barrage with a light machine gun, keeps everyone stocked up on health and ammo, and acts as a medic to revive players using defibrillators. Lastly, Recon scouts the map strategically, marking enemy locations and picking them off from a distance with sniper rifles.
In Battlefield 6, players have the freedom to select any weapon for any class they prefer. However, there are game modes that restrict classes to weapons traditionally associated with them (such as sniper rifles for the Recon class). The developers at Battlefield Studios have prioritized enhancing gadgets for each class over specific weapons, which results in clearer roles within the team. This shift is an improvement compared to basing classes solely on their firearms, as it now encourages players to strategize about how they can support their team in battle.
8) Drag and Revive Mechanic Is a Game Changer
In a new twist, features such as dragging and resuscitating a fallen comrade harmoniously blend with time-honored Battlefield elements like destruction, resulting in thrilling, movie-like scenes where structures crumble as you race to save someone. This not only heightens the sense of immersion but also ensures a safer resuscitation during intense combat. Additionally, it fosters teamwork as players have more control over reviving one another. Regardless of your role, you can now revive anyone in your squad using this method. However, Support characters are the true medics who can revive the entire team at a faster rate, utilizing defibrillators and standard resuscitation techniques.
7) Battlefield 6 Has Great Maps
In Battlefield 2042, the maps were problematic as they were excessively large, resulting in long runs without encountering anyone, only to be ambushed by a sniper. The maps seemed devoid of cover and failed to guide players towards the action effectively. On the other hand, the maps for Battlefield 6 have seen significant improvement and are strategically designed to keep you engaged in combat at all times. If you’re not currently involved in a fight, you won’t be far from one since all objectives are positioned appropriately, allowing you to move between them without the entire objective getting captured by the enemy before reaching it. It’s delightful to have maps that maintain such a balanced pace, and of course, they also offer ample opportunities for destruction.
6) Destruction Returns in a Big Way
In this game series, some titles have stood out for their impressive destruction effects. The golden era of Battlefield, spanning from Bad Company to Battlefield 4, truly mastered the art and Battlefield 1 did an excellent job of recreating a grim, war-torn environment. However, things took a downturn with Battlefield 2042. But with Battlefield 6 on the horizon, destruction is set to reach new heights. You’ll be able to flatten entire city blocks using grenades, bullets, and tank shells. Floors can be blown up to trap enemies on lower levels, and walls can be demolished to create new entryways. The destruction in Battlefield 6 is unmatched, offering a stunning blend of detail, chaos, and epic scale. It’s a promising return to form after the disappointing performance of Battlefield 2042 in this area.
5) Vehicles Are The Best They’ve Been in Years
What sets Battlefield apart from other games in its genre is its diverse array of vehicles, including jets, helicopters, cars, and tanks. These vehicles add an extensive range of weaponry and tools to help dominate battles. Flying air vehicles can be enjoyable, though it may take a few attempts if you’re not accustomed to them; they demand a high level of skill to master and evade anti-air weapons. Tanks are exhilarating and where I tend to spend most of my time when commandeering vehicles.
This tank, too, comes equipped with a 12-shot cannon, ideal for swiftly attacking adversaries. A direct strike is lethal instantly, but it boasts a potent explosion radius to force opponents out of their hiding spots. It’s an incredibly formidable tool that can swiftly block off potential flanking paths used by the enemy. Additionally, it features a guided rocket system for combating vehicles and demolishing structures, and another player can operate its secondary machine gun.
4) Punchy Gunplay and Snappy Movement Makes This One of the Best Playing Battlefield Games to Date
In Battlefield 6, the gunplay is incredibly rewarding. Each weapon packs a significant punch, although some could benefit from adjustments (such as shotguns). However, all the weapons are versatile choices for defeating opponents. The developers have achieved an ideal equilibrium regarding time-to-kill, enabling you to eliminate enemies swiftly and effectively while still giving you enough reaction time to respond if needed.
The game’s movement mechanics are remarkably dynamic, allowing players to glide, tumble, and skid across the terrain for precise control. This eliminates many of the awkward issues seen in certain older Battlefield versions. However, it’s less exaggerated than games like Call of Duty. Instead, the actions feel realistic, more akin to actual physical movements rather than action movie sequences, so don’t anticipate an overly fast-paced gameplay.
3) A Surprising Lack of Bugs
During my playtime with Battlefield 6, I encountered certain problems like matches freezing, which is typically found in pre-release versions. However, Battlefield 2042 was plagued with numerous bugs and oddities, such as hovercrafts scaling buildings and passing through the map unimpeded. I didn’t notice anything similar in Battlefield 6. Overall, it offered a relatively smooth gaming experience that helped alleviate concerns about a rocky debut. Although there might be more bugs appearing in the final version and beta testing, it certainly doesn’t appear to be as problematic as some previous launches.
2) Server Browsers Are Back
In my experience, I didn’t have a chance to use server browsers, but we were informed that they will be reintroduced in Battlefield 6 through the game’s Portal mode, which is typically used for custom games. Although it’s not strictly required, you could also create a regular playlist and establish your own map rotation. The good news is that XP and progress can still be earned in this mode, allowing players to tailor their Battlefield experience without affecting their leveling up or item acquisition.
1) Battlefield Studios Is Really Listening
It’s clear that the team at Battlefield Studios is taking player feedback seriously, aiming to improve the game based on suggestions from a preview event. They have confirmed that some of the issues raised have already been addressed in upcoming versions of the game. Assuming there are no major network problems at launch like those experienced with 2042 and Battlefield 4, this could be the Battlefield game we’ve all been hoping for, largely thanks to the input from fans.
Battlefield 6 will release on October 10th for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
