Battlefield 6

Some Battlefield 3 vibes which is good. I'm fairly optimistic about this one especially as Respawn Entertainment managed to salvage BF2042 to a degree and keep the series going.

If it's as good as BF3 and BF4 then I'll be happy. BF4 is probably my favourite game in the series.

This 100%

 

BF4 is still my favourite FPS ever.

Leaked Battlefield 6 gameplay

Looks decent enough. It'll take probably them 2 years post launch to get it working properly... but yeah 🤪

[MrBiron 1,490]

That reminds me of BF4. So I'll take it!

Reveal trailer coming later today. Looking at Call of Duty right now, this may be our last hope of a decent military shooter. This game must have a campaign though.

They're great at pulling nostalgia chords with their theme. I almost want to reinstall bf2 😆

I'm hoping this is basically BF4 2.0. That is IMO the best BF to date.

They're doing a big MP reveal event on July 31st and leaks suggest the beta will launch straight afterwards or the following weekend. The also accidentally gave away the release date which is October 10th.

[J4MES OX4D 10,289]

The gameplay coming from the test environment looks very good especially from a mechanics standpoint. Looks quite refined now plus there's cool things like being able to drag and heal injured team mates for revive. Definitely seems much closer to BF4 and 2042 but I hope there are larger maps that aren't as chaotic and bloated with effects.  Who would've thought that ex-COD developers would save Battlefield lol!

Sign me up!!!!

 

I will always play a BF game. 2042 was pretty bad at launch, but its a helluva lot of fun now

[J4MES OX4D 10,289]

This is brilliant and so true

 

[J4MES OX4D 10,289]

Some new stable gameplay

 

[phil bottle 10,060]

Yeah i dunno about this still, 2042 left a bad taste, partly the shitty launch but also that no-one gave it much of a chance. I bought it and played it mostly solo and would've been fun if others had bothered with it. If the single player campaign is good then maybe after launch I'll pick it up.

I have Tarkov for my shooter needs, I don't see any game better than that right now 🙂

 Exactly the cause of my reticence.  I was hoping to give it a good test in the beta but of course it comes out the weekend I'm away 😄 but hopefully you lot will play it and give some feedback as I want to get it and I want to love it.

In the same boat, I pre-ordered the last one having enjoyed the few before, won't be doing that again.

 

The group I play these games with are liking the looks of it but I won't lie to me it just looks like a call of duty game at the moment.

I'm definitely more confident about this one especially as most people who made 2042 have long left the company and proper and proven developers were brought in instead. I knew instantly that 2042 would be a catastrophe because it had no campaign, no squad system, no voice chat, no scoreboard, 128 players, barely any guns, no server browser, no stat tracking, stupid specialists, map-changing levolution replaced with temporarily inconvenient weather effects, awful interface, no rush, TDM or dom, no progression, overly-large and empty maps and bot-filled lobbies. It was literally the most anti-Battlefield game imaginable and clear the developers didn't have a clue what the series was about or what they were doing. They were removing staples of the series and the genre without any logic.

 

My only worry with BF6 is if it leans too far into COD. We desperately need these big BF4-style tactical maps. 

[J4MES OX4D 10,289]

 

October 10th so the leaks were right. Beta's this month also. Kinda wish they didn't go all Call of Duty in the trailers but it was nice to see Operation Firestorm returning and hopefully we'll see some other classics come back. My main worry is everything being too destructive and chaotic especially on the smaller maps. I love Metro and Locker but a relentless barrage of rubble and smoke effects could make the smaller maps look a bit messy. I trust it will play well so we'll have to wait and see.

Some excellent footage 

 

[phil bottle 10,060]

Has all the looks of a return to form, and will try the beta but yeah well, we'll see how it launches lol 🤪

[MrBiron 1,490]

 

I think it looks superb to be honest. I'll actually be buying it and I haven't bought a game at launch for a long time (I either get games on Game Pass, rent them or wait for a sale).
