Battlefield 6

[GazzaGarratt 11,242]

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.

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.

Some old school thoughts on the latest map.

Aren't they releasing operation firestorm with the game ? Then maybe they will drip feed the older bigger maps into the game as additional content?

Yeah, there's 8 maps (6 small ones est) and then one more with Firestorm. That will be the most popular by a mile I bet and then we gotta hope that every map after that they release will be similar in philosophy. If they release one map every two months then people are just going to walk away. I wish it was like BF4 where you would get a brand new regional map pack. I think it had a total of 34 maps in a year which was insane considering how top quality the majority were. I'll be stunned if we get to 15 in a year on BF6 and I'm expecting more shoeboxes post-launch rather than blockbuster landscapes. They'd be better remastering a chunk of BF3/4 maps if they can't handle the work.

Man, I really miss BF3 and 4, so much fun. I need to download them again and see how the servers are

That does seem to be the plan, maybe they think the big maps will scare off the COD players.

 

I'm with you through, BF4 was the last one I properly enjoyed. What a game that was.

Definitely would like to hear about it,  there's still servers up for both. Plus I enjoyed their single player campaigns too, and worth it just for that imo
