Summary
Battlefield 6has finally appeared, and it is shaping up to be one of themost exciting multiplayer shootersof the last few years. Coming back to the modern day is a welcome change. Players have been gifted with so much information regarding the beta, launch, and everything to expect from the next installment in one of gaming’s most beloved franchises.
Tons of maps, game modes, weapons, and more have already been shown, and the game isn’t even set to release for another few months, giving players so much to look forward to in the meantime. The hype train has very much left the station, and fans and new players are all eagerly waiting to see if the trailers live up to the expectations or even surpass them.
7The Levolution
Destruction On A Grander Scale
The word “levolution” hasn’t been used for a long time intheBFfranchise, but it appears that the iconic level destruction and transformations are back and bigger than ever. From collapsing skyscrapers to entire towns being sent into another realm, the ability to change how the entire map is played is one of the main selling points for the series. With the upcoming game, it looks to be returning in a big way.
What makes the levolution so incredible is the ability to trigger it at will. Unlike scripted moments or random events on the map, if players decide that a building needs to come down, they can make it happen with one well-placed explosive. They can change the battlefield for the rest of the map and unlock a whole new way of playing out the match.
6Game Modes
Diversity Without Compromising Integrity
An important part of any multiplayer shooter is the modes that keep the gameplay feeling fresh from match to match,giving players new objectives to fight overrather than just aiming for kills. Thankfully,BF6already has nine modes slated to be playable at launch These range from legacy ones like Conquest, to others that offer a new twist on the traditional formula.
Combine these modes with the destruction and vehicular combat, and players will have no shortage of ways to play the game. There will no doubt be more modes added in the coming months for players to sink their teeth into.
5Stellar Maps
Pushing The Sandbox Further
The level design of the maps inBFhas always been a high point for the series. Players get entire cities from real-world locations to run around in and blow up to their hearts' content, without any concerns for the consequences. The newest maps have already shown off their scale, demonstrating a huge amount of verticality and depth, with many ways to play on just a single battlefield.
It has already been revealed that Operation Firestorm will be making its return. With over a decade of maps in the series, there will certainly be plenty more familiar locations returning with an updated coat of paint and even more chaos to be enjoyed.
4Teamplay Is Back
Rewarding Genuine Coordination
BF6doubles down on theteamwork aspect of the game, giving players far more tools and role clarity to incentivize players to coordinate both for objectives and to take out large threats as a squad. In the past few titles, the games often felt like a solo mission in a scattered war. But with more attention focused on teamplay, players will have more reasons to coordinate and group up for victory.
Returning mechanics like the ping system and the ability to resupply together mean that lone wolves will still be able to play just fine. But players who prefer to communicate and work together will find a rewarding tactical experience that rivals the more strategic shooters in the genre.
3Rewarding Gunplay
Satisfying And Full Of Variety
Weapons inBFhave long defined how the game is played.Bringing the franchise back to the modern daymeans that all the guns have been given their realism back, and all the weight and responsiveness have returned with this change.
Each weapon category feels distinct and fits into a specific role. Things like bullet velocity and time-to-kill have been fine-tuned for a much more rewarding and satisfying combat experience, reminiscent of the good old days. And, with plenty of new animations and graphical upgrades, every bullet is going to feel impactful and punchy, with a level of immersion that players have never seen before.
2Class Identity
Distinct Roles That Aren’t Gimmicks
The class system is back and revamped with four distinct roles that each have unique tools and traits that define their playstyle and impact during a game. Rather than having simplistic loadouts that reduce flexibility,BF6reinforces team roles while offering meaningful customization that doesn’t inhibit players' ability to experiment with new approaches.
This new structure brings a level of balance and clarity back to the classes, as players can choose how to play the game without being forced to play in a specific way. Assault players are free to run and gun to their heart’s content, but there is nothing stopping them from taking things slower and altering their approach based on the circumstances, adding agency in a way that was missing before.
1Custom Maps
Built-In Tools For The Community To Go Wild With
One of the biggest reveals so far has been the map editor, which allows players to make entirely custom maps from scratch, using in-game assets and tools to build out a battlefield of their very own. This tool adds so much replay value to the title, as suddenly players can build out new ways to play the game and share them with others to keep the fun going outside of the core maps.
From new game modes to gimmick maps, the possibilities are virtually endless. The limits are pretty much as high as they have ever been, given how extensive the tools have been shown to be and how great the customization can get if players really want to push it.
