Apparently EA eventually plan to make BF a yearly release with three studios taking turns to make it. Hmm I wonder where that's been done before 🤔🫠🙈
 
 
 
Analyst says EA plans to milk Battlefield for everything it's worth: 'Their goal is three studios making Battlefield on a 3-year basis, so they can get to Battlefield annually' | PC Gamer https://share.google/DlnBkKqtWywTecMmF

According to a credible leak, two additional maps coming at launch will be bigger which is good news. We already know Operation Firestorm is a good size so all eyes on the remaining two. Hopefully these bigger environments aren't too cluttered so land vehicles can breathe and we have some channels to work into. I hope Eastwood isn't lifted from the battle royale mode though. 

 
 
Played a game on OF earlier and it was epic. This is proper Battlefield and I never really experienced that feeling in the beta

Rimworld has had a new update that makes me want to get back on it again. Such an awesome game 🙂
 
 
 

I tried the new map on the BF6 beta and it's very small once again - possibly the smallest so far and there is no vehicles even in conquest. It's pretty chaotic with players often bunching and running around aimlessly and you can be killed in many directions. Even spawning on a flag can see you spawn well outside of the radius and literally within shot of an enemy. This feels more like a 48 player map tops and plays like a domination match. This basically means I have played on half of the maps available in the final game with 3 being overly small and the other being a linear-medium one. I'm worried they are going to get old fast because after less than 5 hours in the beta, I'm pretty burned on all of them aside from the new one and there isn't one standout game I have played in that feels dramatically different with a shift of class or strategic approach. 
 
The new map does look half decent

 

Stupid man, 2026 and this idiocy is still alive and well 🙄
 
Nothing wrong with a bit of banter but this is weak as fuck.
 
Fair play to how it was handled, which is something positive at least.

3 points to the Spurs against a Burnley side that conceded only 16 league goals last season 🍻
 
Apparently we were supposed to lose this game lol 🤪

He'll never walk alone that's for sure. That was a wheely stupid thing to do first game of the season. 
 

New rules for this season
 
 

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.

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

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. 

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.
 

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.

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.

This was MW2🤣

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. 

I have no words

 
I thought this was an AI fake picture but apparently it is 100% real.
