New rules for this season

Some old school thoughts on the latest map.

I'll be picking it up, mostly for the single player tbh and I want to see reviews of that first too before I spend a penny. I'm too invested in Tarkov these days but who knows, if the FG community play it a lot maybe I'll consider picking it up early. The latest map isn't a big one imo and I'm annoyed they didn't put one into the beta, annoyed and suspicious.

He was at one of the big guns, that's why he didn't go anywhere else. Seriously 🙄🙈

I think the game is worthwhile to buy as it will get some hours ploughed into it. I do agree though that's more because there aren't many games that really shine of late (you could extend that to over 12-18 months). Its a game that really needs multiple squads working together, not just your squad. We were busting a gut last night to win a conquest game on the new big map for this weekends beta and it was such a struggle to keep up with the opposition. King of the Hill worked relatively well last night, although feels like that's more for the CoD players coming across. I wonder how much of the game they are holding back for official launch. Maybe it'll have a rocky start due to the playerbase but you can see there is a good foundation for a game here and certainly one that will grow in time. Btw, whats the advantage of being anything other than Assault or Medic? Couldn't see what difference the other roles were performing so far in the Beta.

Prem is back tonight. You can see how much of a spectacle it really is now compared to 10-20 years ago. Championship for me is getting worse. Watched some awful games last week, including Blackburn looking very poor against West Brom. Only Bristol smashing Sheff Utd was a really good game to watch. So many teams struggling to cope with cash.

Yeah, Son is a huge miss to the PL, not just Spurs. One of the all-time greats, never thought he'd stay at Spurs for that long, given how consistent he was there. One of the big guns you would've thought could have bought him in and he would've won more trophies for sure. Glad he got that one before he went to LA.

You finally made it Josh! YAY! Glad you've become a part of the furniture or so to speak. I'm sure Matt @Luseth is delighted to have his brother here to annoy the crap out of each other. Welcome, officially, to FG mate. Hope to see your thoughts on the BF6 beta if you get chance for a few more games this weekend. Nah, thats US Josh @igotmollywhopped now iJoshimiro on PSN 😄

It's definitely a good game for Call of Duty players and ones that didn't play Battlefield in its golden era. Another small, linear urban map released today which means we've literally played half the original maps available in the final game and we are yet to actually see a true battlefield. I will probably pick this up for the campaign and because I can still get 20-30 hours out of the multiplayer but I honestly can see myself getting bored as Conquest plays more like domination and matches just blur into one. I went back to Battlefield 4 last year and it was just breathtaking how spectacular everything is even to this day. The map variety, quality and mechanics made for one hell of an experience that has never been repeated, not even in Battlefield since. I'm hopeful this game can get close to those glory days and it has come a long way after the travesty of 2042 but if they end up losing 80% of their players to Call of Duty a month later then a lot of their design choices will have been in vain at the expense of loyal fans.

He's not far off and seems pretty inline with what some have said and I agree, if I'd never played BF4 then this game so far would look pretty good but this game is imo what the result would be if cod and battlefield had a baby and that's unfortunate. Maps are what make and break an FPS game first and foremost and they had an opportunity and the blueprint but unfortunately something was lost along the way. I will still buy this as the winter is long and it will kill a few hours but it can't hold a candle to BF4.

Well maybe they started getting silly a while ago but the skins in BO6 just took the piss completely.

I think I did pretty good for 2 games 🤷🏽‍♂️

I did decent stats wise, you can tell this game is still very much my home when it comes to shooters, could not do this on COd. however I also notice that scores are not in the summary this time around which always used to be the focus to encourage more team play and such.

Looks like EA sending some emails linked to your progress. Here's mine from last weekend. I'll try and get on this weekend before my hols 😄

We need more of this at FG 🤣

This was MW2🤣

Beta is live again, no big maps have been added. Shosho is back hunting snipers tho : )

What FG is about right! 💪💪❤️❤️

Agree with this. I only did Assault and didn't feel like i needed to do anything else as others were running Medic. I read that as good feedback overall. Some good, some bad. Whats helpful is the last 2 BFs haven't been at this level at the beta stage.

I've pretty much watched all the content creators thoughts post-beta and without the sponsorships and it seems a lot of them share similar feelings. To sum it up briefly:- - the game looks great and is mechanically decent - gunplay feels good - the game is very fast paced - gameplay has devolved more into Call of Duty and they will sacrifice logic and series values to appeal to those players as a priority - vehicles don't feel great and they don't work effectively on the smaller style maps - maps are too compact, linear, mostly urban, lack elevation and play too similarly - the squad system may as well not exist from a tactical or strategic standpoint - sniper glint may need to be toned down - classes are plied with too many weapons and gear that completely devalue choice and impact - destruction looks impressive but it doesn't radically change anything and is inconsistent (the upcoming new beta map has huge issues with the latter apparently) The class system needs a total overhaul IMO - the fact Assault can carry a primary, a shotgun, a rocket launcher, flashbangs, a deployable shield grenades and a stim is just ridiculous and almost Treyarch levels of generosity. This devalues the class choice completely and makes you stupidly overpowered. Also sod the shield and stim - that bollocks belongs in COD. Knee sliding and and tac sprint was rejected so not sure why the stim made it. The shield is acceptable I guess. I don't think any Battlefield or FPS fan wanted something fresh - they just wanted Battlefield back i.e 2,3 and 4 especially after the disappointments of BFV and 2042. BF6 achieves that to a degree, but then let's itself down with some questionable design and strange conceptual choices. This is also what happens every time with Battlefield - Call of Duty fucks up spectacularly and then Battlefield fails to capitalise with some surprise errors and misses an open goal. Everyone then leaves Battlefield after a month and returns to COD irrespective of how garbage it is that year. Whilst it's great to see how far the game and series has come under the new leadership in such a short space of time, it would be very disappointing to see the game make easily avoidable mistakes and brainless design choices like 2042 did. The community have spent well over a year helping build BF6 and this is off of 3 years of relentless feedback on 2042 so when the developers go against the grain and dominant advice, it can alienate the community a lot worse than if it was just bad independent choices.

God no! The skins started getting silly in MW3 but they took them to a whole new level of utter ridiculousness in BO6.

If its not Battlefield anymore they should give it a different name innit 😉 But yeah, this is how you deal with snipers in Battlefield:

You think it was okay before this?! 🤣
