battlefield-6

[fallow pebble]

Again just my opinion but I like the idea of being a soldier who cant get anymore than maybe a few kills before dying

[sage roost]

no DCS World gigasweat chopper pilots

no snipers tying the world record longshots

just good old "I NEED AMMO AAAAH WHERES THE MEDIC"

[fallow pebble]

Anymore than maybe 10 and I feel like Rambo

Sweaty chopper pilots are just the worst

[sage roost]

they arent too too hard if you actually coordinate with a teammate

but most people dont WANT to do that they wanna do their own thing

[fallow pebble]

Yeah but with all these cod fanboys flooding the game nobody actually coordinates

[sage roost]

bro everyone and their mother is a cod fanboy its the most popular shooter franchise ever

[fallow pebble]

Run kill die repeat

I gave that up man, I want teamwork

[sage roost]

BF players have been doing that for forever

arguably gotten worse with the movement techbros that show up in 2042 but yeah no the metnality of shoot die shoot again is OG af

[fallow pebble]

I want my bros to high-five each other not because slim Jim got 7 quads but because we worked together to take out that tank that was instigating the whole squad

[willow wadi]

playing battlefield some new experience lol after mainly play cod for fps, i had tanks and aircraft blowing me up lol

[willow lance]

Should've played BFV then

[sage roost]

i mean a buddy in discord and 5s with a javelin and soflam solves that

[fallow pebble]

I've played that

Makes me sad to see that game die

[willow lance]

Most people didn't, it was an objective failure 🤷 Most people don't want teamwork in BF, they think they want but they don't

[fallow pebble]

Shit I repaired the tank idk about you guys

[sage roost]

given how many lone wolf medic snipers i see in 2042 yeah no people want to do their thing because they wanna play their way

not listening to some nasally sounding dude whos barely old enough to drink giving me a lecture on military strategy

if i wanted that i'd go play arma

and sure asking for a soflam or stinger isnt the same as the latter there, but people perceive it that way in game

[fallow pebble]

Arma is janky and wayyyy to realistic for my taste

At that point why not just join the army

[sage roost]

i like not getting shot for realsies

[marble depot]

reforger isn't too jank

[sage roost]

but hopefully you at least get the idea

[fallow pebble]

I get it, getting shot hurts

Especially in the head

[sage roost]

no i mean the fact players wanna just do their thing

but yes lmao

[marble depot]

battlefield is a console skib shooter, you can't be surprised that most players just want to see cool vfx and get kills

[sage roost]

pretty much

[fallow pebble]

I'm all for cool VFX

[marble depot]

games like squad have more dedicated players

[fallow pebble]

From what I've seen this next installment will get that

[sage roost]

and it SHOULD be teamwork focused for sure, but as players have kinda figured things out and interests evolve along with the gameplay you ultimately arrive to ap oint of many lone wolves doing whatever

like its hard especially when you have 63 other guys on your team to work together

[fallow pebble]

Well I like the system battlefield has with classes

[sage roost]

its not like idk Halo where its just.. 3 other guys

[fallow pebble]

I'll be playing the beta and I'll be playing locked weapons

[marble depot]

DICE should stick to unlocked

um it would be pretty funny seeing the backlash

[prisma vigil]

I hope they do locked so it sticks to the core identity of Battlefield

[sage roost]

if they can balance the system appropriately sure

rn there's no "stick" to disincetivize off-class choices, only a "carrot" for on-class

[marble depot]

I think the BF4 system sucks

[sage roost]

so with no real downside, why care about it at all then

[sage roost]

totally fair

[marble depot]

you either do it like 1 or V or 2042

[sage roost]

just at least understand its a BIT frustrating watching a support just pop their own ammo bag so they can keep whiffing sniper shots on a stationary dude 100m away meanwhile im fighting for my life on the frontline lol

[marble depot]

4's system is just a watered down unlocked system that gimps certain weapon classes like PDWs

[marble depot]

in a locked system they would be useless as well but they'll be playing recon

not really a net loss tbh

[sage roost]

but at least then i cant sit there waiting for a revive that will never come

right like "oh boy theres 5 medics nearby" and theyre all sniper meds

[marble depot]

that doesn't really happen in 2042 tbh

[sage roost]

no it really does lol all the dudes who spam rorsch as irish behind their walls

[sharp flower]

Battlefield 2025 suit up gamerz

[marble depot]

I barely see them, maybe sometimes on Flashpoint

if you ask me the only real guns that need to be restricted are LMGs, bolt actions and maybe shotguns

[sage roost]

at that point thats half the class specific weapons

may as well full send then

[rapid summit]

when can i play battlefield 6 beta

[marble depot]

exactly

[sage roost]

when its out

[marble depot]

I'd rather just full send it

most modern automatic firearms are pretty samey

[sage roost]

perhaps, but thats not engaging gameplay

hence why shotguns cant ruin you from 100m away with just buckshot

not exactly very fun

[marble depot]

shotguns that don't kill you but ragdoll you because you're wearing armour >>>

[rapid summit]

which battlefield has the most players

[cinder oasis]

2042 I think

Not sure

[sage roost]

whichevers more recent is usually the good rule of thumb

for like any game

[rapid summit]

okay

[analog gate]

[tight prism]

<-- hsif

what if

there were ai civilians

[midnight raptor]

Theyre all pretty dead rn IMO homie

Id just wait for bf6

[rapid summit]

oh okay thanks

[timid otter]

I just want a lot of guns in the game like battlefield 4

[paper turtle]

There are plenty in bf4

[past jasper]

I don't even think shotgun should be restricted

[past jasper]

No

[tight prism]

: (

[somber coral]

Any chance the aek will be back?~ i didnt see it in the weapon list but maybe it comes later in the game?

[tight prism]

Any chance fentanyl will be in bf6

You know like if you get fucked up they give you fentanyl and operate on yo ass

[ocean osprey]

Lord knows what else is in the medkits

[tight prism]

Lol

Hopefully prescription grade ketamine

[quiet plover]

People are hoping for no ridiculous skins but realistically it’s bound to happen as it’s easiest way to gain money from

Sad

[olive basalt]

Yeah, my biggest fear is they'll market it as a gritty military shooter at launch, then slowly over the course of the game's life they'll introduce more and more ridiculous skins. If they don't do that, and manage to stick to a modern military aesthetic throughout the game's entire lifespan, that would be seriously impressive. But alas, those poor shareholders need their ROI 😭

[modern stirrup]

brother all the recent battlefields are still going strong, bfv, bf1 and bf4 still have strong servers going

[fading leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/bf6-battlefield-battlefield-6-battlefield-vi-ea-gif-44134836087477716

[olive basalt]

no

[short nacelle]

just got the news

lets goooooooooooooooo

[icy nacelle]

[orchid ledge]

🦖

[tight prism]

Cant wait to pre-order

[strange haven]

Btw. JackFrags has not made a video about the Battlefield 6 reveal trailer dropping, while every other BF influencer made a video about it yesterday. Thus, he is probably already playing the game and busy with that.

[vestal zenith]

Jack is probably playing bf4 :))

[strange haven]

Also that

[marble depot]

hes in the labs workshop server lol

[tight prism]

Or he was asleep at that time when they announced it, timezones exist lol

[strange haven]

He's at CET timezone and the details dropped at about 6pm his time

But I am sure he is busy with Labs and playing the game which is why he doesn't care about this small news 🙂

[unique tapir]

Let's hope DICE AND EA BRING BACK THE DESTRUCTION FROM BF4

And THE OG feel of the BATTLEFIELD Games nor what they brought to BF2042

[fallow pebble]

Guys I'm playing be right now and it genuinely sucks

There's no bundles to buy so I'm not getting much pride and accomplishment

[glossy kelp]

hey peoples, just joined the dc. will BF 6 beta be available on PS5?

[warped echo]

f

[stable badger]

24 for the trailer

[warped echo]

so is the beta gonna be like last time or nah

just special invites for special people?

[cinder relic]

Says one individual person.. If you ask more broadly, I think most of us are wanting a similar system as in BF4.

I have 5k hours in BF4 and IMO it has the best class system. The only thing that sucked in that game is random spray with the weapons. Otherwise just a perfect game.

[warped echo]

2 k of those hours are against bots 😉

[cinder relic]

Yeah if you count noobs 🙂

[tight prism]

Only time will tell

[cinder relic]

You are correct, that's why I'm waiting multiple months before I buy it. They are not doing the feature to disable skins from the settings.

[swift hamlet]

cant be worse than bo6

[marble depot]

bro has 5000 hours but doesn't know how to microburst 💀💀💀💀

[tall zinc]

this discussion is more or less pointless, battlefield 4 and 2042 have very similar patterns regarding bloom

[blissful trellis]

BF6 needs to be the bomb so I can get my pals off of Warzone 😭

[sinful echo]

Can't be worse than COD

[marble depot]

warzone in the big 25

[winter rivet]

The AN-94 Hyper burst was 🔥🔥🔥

[sinful echo]

Can they bring back CBJ-MS lol

[vast mason]

Remove secure boot ea

[tight gulch]

Is it sure the new bf is called Battlefield 6?

[sinful echo]

YES

[tight gulch]

🥹 Return to regular numbers, hope it will have high quality

[naive locust]

I do seriously hope they didn't put time and resources into a battle royale for BF6. was only ever a good type of game for PUBG, fortnite and much like extraction shooters. only good for very few games and even then theres a lot of issues behind it

[small wedge]

Yo when is gta 6

[vestal canopy]

we dont know yet

usually dice announces the game with a trailer like 6 months before release or something

[dusky cipher]

Beta 4th of August allegedly

Big pinch of salt

[tight prism]

Defo will be an BR for sure

[wise basalt]

I wonder when EA officially gives us an date for an open Beta. Especially because millions of us are still in line for LABS and werent able to join LABS.

[tight prism]

Close is better

[hardy dust]

battlefield 6 : a game have no clue what is the problem,with original recipe, LMFAO!

[vocal sedge]

A lot of people dont actually mind it lol

[naive locust]

it'll be a bit daft if there is. absolutely no reason to try to compete with warzone and other similar games

[vocal sedge]

It doesnt change anything you just pick class and weapon and play it like any other battlefield game

[inland jackal]

battle royale is already pretty much confirmed, the in game cutscene already leaked for it

[fallen dove]

There is a BR mode, that's 100% sure. The leaked concept art shows the BR map, set in LA.

[tight prism]

Yep, BR will be free is what im hearing

[vocal sedge]

What is it with people not wanting the BR lol just let it happen yall dont have to play it

[naive locust]

I wonder how dead itll be after a few months on launch like firestorm

[inland jackal]

the br is free and its very similiar to warzone in many ways, a lot of details about it was leaked, there doing the fire ring again as well

[vocal sedge]

Better pray itll be good than it being bad

[wise basalt]

BR is maybe to get more peeps to go for batlefield. I REALLY hope their focus is on single player again

[fallen dove]

I'd love to see a properly executed BR in Battlefield. There's just so much potential there.

Firestorm could've been great with a couple tweaks.

[inland jackal]

tthe singleplayer is the most behind development, it will be short

[naive locust]

BR isnt a battlefield game mode, it doesnt really work well with it and them making it takes lots of time and money away from developing the rest of the game

[vocal sedge]

Its mostly been a multiplayer focus game

[naive locust]

why make a BR when you could put that time and money towards a campaign

[vocal sedge]

They did say that they had an entirely seperate studio just for the story mode though

[inland jackal]

cause campaigns dont sell microtransactions

[vocal sedge]

Ok? You dont have to play it lol

[tight prism]

A free BR mode will never be dead tbh, look at fortnite for example

[vocal sedge]

Also its ea we are talking about

[naive locust]

fortnite however was able to connect with a lot of the younger generation

[inland jackal]

every free BR that has released from big franchises is actually still alive

[tight prism]

i hope operations come back for bf6

[vocal sedge]

Its not like they run out of money and resources

[inland jackal]

operations was awesome but kinda doubt itll return

[fallen dove]

Given the locations of the maps, it seems it's coming back

Operations is the main reason why I still play BF1

[vocal sedge]

Im so done with every battlefield game i just want something new alr

2042 dogtrash, 5 dogtrash, 1 dogtrash like damn

[inland jackal]

pause 1 is not trash

[naive locust]

I dont even get how they fumbled two games in a row.
literally all we want is just bf3,4 with bf1s aesthetic/ ambience

[vocal sedge]

If you enjoy chucking grenades for a past time sure

I want an fps game though

[naive locust]

bad company 3 would be so peak

[wise basalt]

Yes

[inland jackal]

1 is the most aesthetically well done battlefield game

[vocal sedge]

Sure

The game itself is bad though

[inland jackal]

this guy

just say you only like modern bf and move on

[wise basalt]

What @naive locust says. Just a bf3 redesign or expension with a new engine or maps would be golden

[naive locust]

battlefield 1 in a purely historical accuracy context is bad yes.
the actual gameplay, and everything else is good

[vocal sedge]

Poor gadget balance, bad vehicle balance, they removed a very basic and an essential bit of movement which made the game even more gadget spammy

[vocal sedge]

Nah i only like fps games

[naive locust]

so you only play COD/ movement shooters got it

[inland jackal]

bf is just as much a vehicle game as a fps

[vocal sedge]

Like where i shoot to kill people and dont chuck 4 grenades 4 dynamite and 3 at rockets into a corner yk

[hardy pasture]

He’s a troll. Just ignore.

[inland jackal]

bf5 is worse abt that then 1

in 5 the vehicles just dont die

[vocal sedge]

No its not lol

[naive locust]

yeah, gotta be

[vocal sedge]

Ok but gadget balance is nowhere near as bad as 1

[inland jackal]

someone hasnt played 5 or 1 in a little bit clearly

[vocal sedge]

I have 2.3k hours in 1

[inland jackal]

well clearly its not that bad then

[vocal sedge]

No theres just nothing better to play

[inland jackal]

arma reforger

squad

[vocal sedge]

So sick of gas grenade cancering, dynamite cancer, unavoidable crossbow grenades that for whatever reason explode on impact

[vocal sedge]

Why are you suggesting me milsims when im a battlefield player

[inland jackal]

because there not as milsimy as u think

[vocal sedge]

Lol

[blissful sluice]

They are

[inland jackal]

reforger is more killing then milsim

bro in reforger u can be in a fight in less then 20 seconds

just play the right servers

[naive locust]

squad is more milsimmy because of the reliance on communication. whole reason why I never really got into it. I wanna run tanks and helis but they want you to talk

[vocal sedge]

Lol

[inland jackal]

the reliance on communication is the fun part tbh

but reforger none of that really matters

[blissful sluice]

We are casual BF players just move on and let the Man play

[naive locust]

I prefer the casualness of not needing to talk

[inland jackal]

no friends^

[vocal sedge]

Just give me a good battlefield game with mechanics that make sense

[blissful sluice]

Battlefield 3 and 4 best

[inland jackal]

find 31 friends and play bc2

[vocal sedge]

Battlefield 5 movement, 4s visibility, 4s gunplay, bf3 maps, 5s gadget balance, 2042 audio ques

Boom you have a good video game

And 4s vehicle play

[inland jackal]

bf5 movement with mw2019 gunplay with no tac sprint

[blissful sluice]

And I really liked the Medal of Honor gunplay and in the leaks it looks like it ! Looks great

[naive locust]

5s gadget balance was everybody had anti tank 🤣 it was not balanced by any means

[inland jackal]

i mean bf6 already feels like 4 and mw2019

ive played a few times

[blissful sluice]

That’s good

[naive locust]

it'd've been nice if they opened up the close beta to oceania

[vocal sedge]

With re-adjusted helis

[vocal sedge]

Tanks were also much harder to approach lol

[inland jackal]

shoulda just put NA and vpn

i hate bf2042 helis

[vocal sedge]

Plenty good bf5 vehicle players that practically never or barely die

[naive locust]

2042 helis genuinely feel like crap

[vocal sedge]

Yeah they feel super assisted

[inland jackal]

you should see the little bird 2042 videos, its insane what people are doing

its so unrealistic its fucking insane

[blissful sluice]

Yeah also the hydra heli their rockets make no damage it’s hilarious

[vocal sedge]

Its not about realism

[naive locust]

theres a difference between realism and realistic

[midnight knoll]

when does beta open

[vocal sedge]

You should see bf4s heli pilots

Except it took actual skill to do in bf4

[inland jackal]

no i mean they literally will like flip the little bird upside down and go through impossible crevices

[blissful sluice]

Hopefully after tomorrow’s reveal @midnight knoll

[inland jackal]

august more then likely

[vocal sedge]

Ye thats always been done

But in bf2042 its much easier to do

Because the little birds are much lighter and handle much better

[blissful sluice]

I wish they make the BF hardline reveal move and say and you can play now the Beta

[naive locust]

wasnt there talk of end of july or no?

[vocal sedge]

Its made so people can easily do those things

Wish i didnt have slow download speeds

[blissful sluice]

Uff

[inland jackal]

honestly jsut playing hardcore tarkov wipe till bf6

[raven dock]

Yet another BF is coming

[inland jackal]

bf6 more like modern warfare ground with with destruction

[vocal sedge]

Bf6 better be insane

[inland jackal]

its pretty fun from what ive played but there are some buggy things for sure in it rn

[blissful sluice]

Just compare it with MOH and not MW

[inland jackal]

it doesnt play like moh at all

it plays exactly like modern warfare

[blissful sluice]

Warfighter

[inland jackal]

however with the newest update on labs the recoil felt good

its hard to control

youll hve to burst fire ur full autos more

[valid sun]

@inland jackal is alpha or a beta open??

[inland jackal]

alpha that i played

[blissful sluice]

Für die paar Wörter so lange ? @valid sun

[valid sun]

stfu and get me some invite link !!! @inland jackal

xD

[inland jackal]

lol if only

[blissful sluice]

XD

[valid sun]

pleeease

[inland jackal]

there not that worth they last for very short periods of time

[valid sun]

mh...

wen will beta start?.. usually beta starts when they start selling the product^^ xD

[blissful sluice]

I believe that our tree here has more BF experience than any other of us here ! Specially in the destruction betas

XD

I can’t wait to get my hands on it looks very great

[vagrant timber]

Im pre-ordering....
why?
because fuck it that's why

[naive locust]

one thing ive noticed from leaked footage is that the gunplay feels too fast paced.
especially what with sliding and the stim health boosters or whatever theyre called

[astral dew]

they should add a filter where we can play fun servers and then boomer server for anyone older than 35 years old

[naive locust]

its very cod esc which doesnt bode well for me.
but the rest looks real neat.
the helicopter gameplay looked real whack

[wise spire]

Is there any news on when they're gonna do another round of playtesting ?

[wise spire]

Risking it all for the cod audience
And as much as cod players love to moan, majority of them still won't switch from cod to battlefield

[naive locust]

I havent been able to play it. only watch it.
and it looked faster than it should be

[copper maple]

Probably because most of the leaked footage has been some cracked Chinese dude playing in 120FoV
Put it on a console with 70fov and it'll look completely different

[naive locust]

console will always be less chaotic though

[tight prism]

Consoles will have fov too, like its 2025 come on lol

[ashen gate]

110 fov actually

[tame ether]

is anyone knows when open beta out?

[abstract summit]

approx in 2-3 weeks, early next month. Date probably after the Trailer drop in two days. All based on rumors.

or more like tomorrow evening

[tame ether]

do we have to sign up for that?

[abstract summit]

unknown

[tame ether]

aight thanks man

[sturdy pecan]

When can i preorder

[abstract summit]

No fookn preorders mate

[sturdy pecan]

Idc

I will preorder

[abstract summit]

Well then dont know, if all rumors are true game is going to get released around next year march. So maybe also after the announcement.

[vocal sedge]

i always found it so funny how people think a games pacing is insanely fast when its just high fov

someone told me that bf5s slide was too fast 💀

[sturdy pecan]

Remember yes preorders

[abstract summit]

I would say if I played it, what I totaly dont have , I would say it was pretty similar to Battlefield 3 & 4 pacing.

[signal pier]

Oh shit they added a BF6 chat?

[valid cove]

Nah they didn't

[tulip thistle]

So how will i know i got into the bf labs?

[coarse trellis]

Wassup!!

[sturdy pecan]

For what

[abstract summit]

You would get a mail, but anyway approx. after the trailer drop might be a open beta announcement.

[tulip thistle]

Oh ok thanks , hope it will be like bf4

[whole mountain]

is it confirmed the weapons are back to what it was in bf4?

[whole forge]

No, David Sirland’s tweet was about the Locked Weapons Playlist on the Beta

The Beta will provide the big community data to see how the game plays with and without locked guns

[whole mountain]

had a feeling thanks lol

[jade plume]

はろー

hero

he

?

[sturdy pecan]

What

[cold panther]

?

[naive locust]

only issue is the labeling of "Open" and "Closed" which will most likely create disproportionate data due to peoples interpretation to the meaning

always gotta account of idiots

[outer grove]

I'm So Excited to See Battlefield 6 Trailer Soon. 😊

[cold panther]

Me too

2042 trailer was almost 6 minute long

[leaden urchin]

I feel like they did a good job on bf 6

I have got that feeling idk why

[naive locust]

they quite literally cannot fuck 6 up or else theyre kind of dead in the water

[whole forge]

I mean, they already have data on how the game plays with open weapons

Every Labs test was with open class guns

I think they wanna see how the closed system plays now and compare the data

[naive locust]

I imagine though that theyre gonna be comparing how many people play with each and opinions of either and if one has overwhelming majority they might drop the other

[whole forge]

I think they might offer a feedback form at the end of Beta, so I reccomend everyone(even if you hate the other option) to try both systems

[tight prism]

Pre-ordering instant once its live

[wise spire]

Why? You scared they're gonna run out on launch day?

[tight prism]

What? It's cos I can, my money at the end of the day, be getting it either way

[abstract summit]

They can, imagine deactivate destructable Buildings, swap the server cap to 128 players again. Remove recoil to be more laser weapon like etc.

[sturdy pecan]

Yes sir

Game of the year no cap

[abstract summit]

Big cap ngl.

[sturdy pecan]

Nop

[tight prism]

Ive seen enough to know its gonna be a good year for battlefield

[glossy scarab]

inb4 they pull a 2042

[tight prism]

Then you can cope while everyone else is having fun

[quartz thicket]

gta 6

[wide elbow]

"Angel does it again"

[abstract summit]

Console only and Exp 33 exists

[quartz thicket]

rue

[sturdy pecan]

Exp is shit man

[quartz thicket]

exp is 2025 tho

there's even death stranding 2

[sturdy pecan]

bf will be released in October this year

[sturdy pecan]

[abstract summit]

~March 2026*

[tight prism]

October 10th is the rumour for bf6

[quartz thicket]

we'll see tmrw

[sturdy pecan]

October 2025

[wide elbow]

already preordered from soneone's link in my dm ... shareholders are having yacht party right now with my $60 ...

[abstract summit]

Its bs ngl. EA shareholder await a raise in march 2026. And the game is yet not ready for this year. Everyone who had the ability to play in labs can confirm this

[quartz thicket]

exactly

i feel its too close

[vestal canopy]

dice usually announce the game with a trailer in may-june ish and the game is released 6 months later, if they keep their 6 month schedule that would mean a release early next year

[tight prism]

Bf6 won't be 60 that's for sure

[quartz thicket]

it'll be 70

cuz next gen

[abstract summit]

I have even a bad feeling for march 2026 date. It feels again like a huge crunch time for the devs

[tight prism]

They have been working on bf6 for 4 years right?

[quartz thicket]

maybe

[whole forge]

I dont remember it

[quartz thicket]

actually yea

[whole forge]

but we know there is 4 studios working on it

[blissful crown]

Do we have to download the EA launcher to play BF?

[quartz thicket]

duh

[whole forge]

Dice and Motive for MP, Criterion for Singleplayer and MP Assets and Ripple Effect for BR And Gauntlet

[whole forge]

Yea

[abstract summit]

2022 was Ridgeline Games openend and closed in early 2024. somewhere between those times was the start of Bf6

[quartz thicket]

criterion making sp???

bruh.

[whole forge]

Ridgeline ws doing it first but they got closed and had NOTHING worth of transferring

[quartz thicket]

its joeover.

[whole forge]

Also i might remember wrong about what studio does what

[quartz thicket]

we'll bouta have another burnout vo

[whole forge]

All i am certain about is DICE and Ripple Effect

Ok correction

[quartz thicket]

if criterion is doing mp its alright

[whole forge]

Motive is doing Singleplayer

[quartz thicket]

thank god

[whole forge]

Just watched the BF Labs Announcement video again

[tight prism]

Would be surprised if it does come out this year after hearing the campaign isnt in a good spot

[whole forge]

They can release the campaign in post release

[quartz thicket]

criterion is jus good at making destruction and chaos in the game

[quartz thicket]

make it a dlc

[tiny surge]

hi all, is there a sign up for beta?

[tight prism]

No

[quartz thicket]

k

[tight prism]

Campaigns for bf games are normally good with amazing graphics

[whole forge]

DICE: Multiplayer
MOTIVE: Multiplayer Maps and Singleplayer
Ripple Effect: Battle Royale and Gauntlet game modes
Critereon: Supporting MOTIVE on Singleplayer

[quartz thicket]

ehhhh

[whole forge]

These are what the Battlefield Studios and what they are doing

[simple void]

Is ripple actively on BF6?

[tight prism]

Pretty much

[simple void]

Crap

[tight prism]

It's free tho

[quartz thicket]

so this'll be criterion 3rd fps game, first was BLACK and that was pretty fun but that was the old criterion, modern this'll be their second game.

[wind hedge]

they did hardline iirc

[quartz thicket]

they never

[simple void]

Still, it'll take up resources from BF6, and it's not like their first BR went so well lol

[quartz thicket]

that was viscreal something

[whole forge]

Pretty much been datamined to hell on Labs

[simple void]

Visceral Games did Hardline iirc

[whole forge]

Its a seperated mode and making only Ripple Effect do it is a smart idea

so any other studio that is working on classic MP doesnt get shafted

[wind hedge]

my bad. yeah visceral

[winged sable]

Hello everyone, I'm French and I'm really looking forward to this new game. I'm a big fan of BF3 and I'm really looking forward to this new installment. I hope you've done some heavy lifting! 🙂

[quartz thicket]

crit did BF1 and hardline jus a bit of support

[simple void]

Whats their role gonna be in this, don't really get what MOTIVE means

[glossy scarab]

😭

[whole forge]

They do Multiplayer Maps and Singleplayer Content

[quartz thicket]

MOTIVE is making the singleplayer along with crit acc to what that guy said ^

[whole forge]

And Critereon helps MOTIVE on the Singleplayer

[simple void]

Right right, let's hope they don't mess up my beloved SP Campaign lol

[quartz thicket]

they'll jus be for vehicles fo sure

[whole forge]

The thing is, Singleplayer did get scrapped once because after Ridgeline Studios closed they had NOTHING worth of transferable done in 2 years

[quartz thicket]

loved burnout 3 and revenge

[whole forge]

so they restarted on the SP

[quartz thicket]

re-written

[simple void]

The BF6 campaign got scrapped 2 years in? Or older SP?

[quartz thicket]

bf6

[whole forge]

BF6 SP

it got scrapped once and thats why Critereon and MOTIVE are doing it

[wind hedge]

[quartz thicket]

MOTIVE could do it

nfs unbound's sp is jus what it is, the mp seems fun tho.

[whole forge]

we dont know how much it was worked at but the rumors say Ridgeline "worked" on it for 2 years

before their shutdown in 2024

[simple void]

Right right

[quartz thicket]

motive did dead space remake and star wars squadrons and battlefront 2

[simple void]

Well, let's hope they made something cool in their limited time :)

[whole forge]

Thats why if they want to delay SP for a few months they should

[quartz thicket]

they should

[whole forge]

Since the new game is supposed to be modular download(download and uninstall parts you want)

they can pull of a late addition of SP

[quartz thicket]

motive is doing iron man too

[whole forge]

didnt that game got cancelled?

or was it the Black Panther game

[quartz thicket]

nah

black panther

[simple void]

Very true, no harm on finishing it properly before releasing

[exotic fulcrum]

Will bf6 have a campaign

[quartz thicket]

yea

[whole forge]

Yes

MOTIVE and Critereon are working on it

[quartz thicket]

it'll be fine i aint expecting much from criterion if they actually make it well, good for them.

[exotic fulcrum]

Are they the developers

[quartz thicket]

yea

[whole forge]

Yea

DICE, MOTIVE, Ripple Effect and Critereon formed Battlefield Studios

Basically 4 big studios under EA working for Battlefield

[quartz thicket]

criterion jus made unbound (modern)

well they did make HPR along with hp10 so

[exotic fulcrum]

Any other news about it?

Ik we don’t know a lot at the moment

[quartz thicket]

it has guns.

[exotic fulcrum]

Ok thanks

[limpid prism]

Yo

Battlefield 6 hype 😂

28 hours until the reveal

[winter rivet]

And features a Battlefield

[fleet burrow]

Bring back 60HZ SERVERS.

[whole forge]

And they are bringing those back

The game is optimized for 60Hz servers

[fleet burrow]

Maybe.

[whole forge]

Not Maybe, they literally say this on the first BF Labs Blog

#1347495120395702352 message

"We're optimizing for a 60Hz tick rate, ensuring the game server more frequently updates the positions and actions for all players. This results in responsive gameplay across all platforms and inputs. You'll notice more precise shooting and movement, enhanced damage feedback, and more accurate representation of other players' positions and combat outcomes."

[tight prism]

60hz servers will improve the overall gameplay feel

[fleet burrow]

Good but 2042 rush xl don't handle 128 player in small area.....

[whole forge]

Yea

Because 2042 and its servers technically cant handle 128

[tight prism]

128 was a gimmick and it wasn’t made for it

[abstract summit]

We wont get 128 players this time anyway, was one of the first things said it will only feature 64 players

[fleet burrow]

Yep i don't play too much 128 but rush xl fun sometimes.

[nova herald]

i did enjoy 128 player conquest tho

sadge

hopefully portal or something will still allow for 128 players

in bf6

[fiery oxide]

Doubt it

[mellow ferry]

64vs64? or u mean 128vs128?

[nova herald]

64 vs 64

[whole forge]

Dont think so

[tall zinc]

2042 isnt 60hz, they cap out at 45hz

[mellow ferry]

I hope the vibes from BF3 and BF4 come back.

[winter rivet]

Even the old DICE knew, in one the interviews they tried 128 players and it didn't work which is why they prefer 32v32 or 40v40

[nova herald]

a huge fuse between bf2 bf3 and bf4 would be the best

[slender helm]

64x64 sounded pretty good sized lobby

128x128 is never neccisary, but still an option if its on large maps

[eager kelp]

Fuck 64v64 if the map design is ass like 2042 no one cares about 128 players into a server, give me good map design and 64 players, games will feel way more exciting and fun

[rich escarp]

Words of Alessandro Del Piero

Great Football player

[fleet burrow]

i know bro XD

[astral shore]

Hope the Open Beta is similar to BO6 open beta by making EA Play subscribed members could play, where all Game Pass subscribers were allowed to play the game for BO6's case

[hexed hamlet]

who's excited for the trailer

[whole forge]

I think its gonna be more like the usual BF Open Beta where anyone who want to play it can play it and therr would probably be a 3 day early period for pre orders

[tight prism]

How much gonna cost bf6 70€ or more ?

[whole forge]

70$ for base, 100$ for deluxe IMO

They said base price of EA games wont be 80 in an investor call

[edgy raft]

I'm already preparing to pre-order

[whole forge]

I am waiting for the open beta to consider pre order

[simple void]

Exactly

[whole forge]

If I love the Beta, I will pre order

If I dont love the Beta, I will buy on Day 1

[simple void]

Tbf I've only ever preordered 1 game in my life, so most likely I wont preorder xD

[whole forge]

I pre ordered 2 games. STALKER 2 and Doom Eternal

I was satisfied by both

[gusty wraith]

I don't mind preordering on steam, I just stay conscious of the time played for an easy refund.

[tight prism]

128 is a shitshow. 32v32 is perfectly fine

I’ll preorder after open beta if I like it. Hoping for a BF4 feel

[cold panther]

Bf 2042 trailer showed basicaly all the maps

Hope bf 6 trailer does the same

[pearl vale]

Agreed, 128 players plays like shit in terms of performance and gameplay flow

[gusty wraith]

I'm worried about an october release date, is that enough time to cook?

[whole forge]

I kinda want them to keep some maps secret

[eager kelp]

I think they might release it into november

[simple void]

All we know is that it will be before the end of march 2026

[whole forge]

It should be enough, but they can also delay it because their final release time is March 2026

[eager kelp]

They will never release it when gta comes out that’s for sure

[tight prism]

Even giant maps, it feels weird because many players do congregate in the easy flags and some may go to the contested ones.

[gusty wraith]

Ok thanks, I read something misleading

[whole forge]

Yea, but they want the game out in Fiscal Year 2025 which ends in March 2026

[eager kelp]

I think it’s October or November

[tight prism]

Gotta release it in time for holiday sales

[whole forge]

The October 10th date is a datamine so its not 100% certain as if it will stay as it is

[pearl vale]

Meanwhile a huge part of the map is vacant and the net code feels like hell

[tight prism]

Yup with 45hz tick rate too lol

[whole forge]

Also assumingly Open Beta will be 5 builds ahead of the current LABS build according to leaks

[graceful lark]

64 players is more than enough servers can run well and maps don’t need to be huge that there’s alot of dead areas 128 doesn’t fill servers who enough imo 64 players is more alive

[icy egret]

128 players doesnt mean more chaos

i remember my 32 player frontline game from bf1 being more tense and chaotic than all of my 128 player games in 2042

[neon gyro]

128 can be fine but the maps need to be huge to account for it

[fiery oxide]

Player density matters

Rush XL and og breakthrough was chaotic

[icy egret]

yeah and maps in 2042 were just big and empty

felt more like walking sim

recent maps were better though

but i couldnt like any of the launch maps

[lean wind]

I hope we can get some cool map changing events in BF6, perhaps a more dynamic version of the Levelutions of yore.

[icy egret]

yeah but at least bf6 maps are not wide and open grass, i really liked that city map packed with buildings on all sides i cant wait for all of them to be in rubbles by the end of the game

[lean wind]

Although, the player destruction that we can do, might just be that.

[icy egret]

reminds me of amiens

[whole forge]

The maps themselves are already very dynamic enough where it doesnt need major levolutions

[past magnet]

Yeah we need levelution bf4 had good amount of it.

[lean wind]

Oh yeah, kinda realised that a bit late. Hahahaha!

[plucky osprey]

Does anybody know if bf6 has 3d spotting or is it like bfv?

[tight prism]

2042 large maps sucked. It was basically putting capture points in the middle of a desert with nothing happening between each point.

[tidal hound]

Which is why Breakthrough is the better game mode. But nobody plays it.

Conquest on every BF has always been too much running through empty space for me

[whole forge]

And also why BF6 has Breakthrough instead of Rush

[dapper lark]

90% sure breakthrough was super popular on BFV

[lean wind]

Everyone was essentially salivating for it back then, including myself.

[tidal hound]

Yeah but all the servers on every BF game is conquest after the playerbase has died

[tight prism]

Breakthrough I love instead of rush

But conquest on vanilla maps in BF4 was great

Even golmud had its own action

[plucky osprey]

Bf6 has rush

[whole forge]

Wait does it? I thought it had Breakthrough

[plucky osprey]

Both

They’re different modes

[tight prism]

It definitely has rush, it was in labs

[lean wind]

Both are essentially the same thing, but one has delicious M-Coms.

[tidal hound]

Rush is also usually 16v16 no?

[plucky osprey]

They’re similar in the sense that they’re attack and defend but beyond that they’re very different

[tight prism]

The hectic shit defusing and rearming over and over lol

[lean wind]

Yup, smaller in size, though they can be 32v32.

[tight prism]

Rush in bad company was well executed

[meager lance]

bfv breakthrough was really good

[lean wind]

The never ending wee woo of the M-Com...

[tight prism]

The maps were designed specifically for it

[meager lance]

almost addictive to me at least

[plucky osprey]

Breakthrough can have more or less than 2 points per sector and points that have already been captured by attackers can be regained by defenders

[tight prism]

The wee woo meant I had a chance lmao

[plucky osprey]

Personally prefer rush but they’re wholly different modes

[lean wind]

I remember when the Pacific Update dropped and I spent countless hours on the billions of Pacific Breakthroughs...so fun.

[meager lance]

The pacific update was peak

[plucky osprey]

Wish we had gotten Stalingrad

[meager lance]

shame they canned the USSR expansion for 2042

[tight prism]

Bye bye 2042

[lean wind]

Agreed, still remember the fact they accidentally released the weapons and shit early, and just said fuck it and never reverted it back.

[meager lance]

bfv was so good man

[dapper lark]

The what

[meager lance]

at least gameplay wise

[meager lance]

there were leaks or datamined code or something for a Russian lmg iirc

[dapper lark]

In 2042?

[meager lance]

no

BFV

[dapper lark]

Oh you said 2042 had me so confused

[jovial light]

will there be a way to sign up for the beta if I'm living in Asia?

[tardy apex]

Will it be 120 fps on console

[elder garden]

One more day...

[tidal hound]

I think Performance mode aims for 80fps or so ive heard

[lean wind]

On a side note, some damned cat tried eating the food from the pot outside... bloody wretches.

[meager lance]

If it's gonna be an open beta then I don't think you will need to sign up

maybe you'll need an EA account

[tidal hound]

Pre-orders will probably get in a few days earlier

[meager lance]

don't pre order

[tidal hound]

Pre order for the beta and refund it after

[lean wind]

I've heard rumours of either the beta or open beta? Giving some benefits to folk who have stuff like Gamepass Ultimate. Though take this with a grain of salt.

[dapper lark]

I doubt they give early access for beta via pre order never mind it’s ea yes they will

[jovial light]

that's good news, i suppose

[icy ravine]

Im only playing for the br

[opaque jungle]

Y’all think my rtx 4050 will be able to run battlefield 6 lol, I doubt it could

[meager lance]

I have a 4gb 3050 you're good bro

[opaque jungle]

But the vram requirement is 8gb..

I’m scared

[meager lance]

for what?

[opaque jungle]

Lol my 4050 is 6gb and the minimum requirements is 8gb

[meager lance]

Brother I play 2042 fine with my 4gb

I think I can even run high settings tho I prefer low for maximum fps

[tidal hound]

At what, 720p?

Not enough vram degrades performance

[meager lance]

1080p

or 1440p I'm not sure

its 1080

[tidal hound]

Pretty sure 2042 uses just over 5gb vram

So going under that reduces performance

[opaque jungle]

Time to upgrade I guess

[meager lance]

I'm too poor to upgrade so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[nova herald]

my gtx 1070 8gb struggled to keep 60fps medium 1080p in 2042

[tidal hound]

Well that's not the vram at fault

[opaque jungle]

Lol in 2042, you don’t notice much of the difference between low and high

[valid roost]

https://tenor.com/view/stevie-wonder-piano-gif-5210084

[tidal hound]

At least at launch, there was literally no difference. And a bunch of games do the same thing

The Texture setting not doing anything

[nova herald]

ive since upgraded to a rtx 3090 tho and hope its enough for bf6

[opaque jungle]

It’s enough all right

[wise olive]

Are we able to play both playlists when the beta is available to us?

[quartz jetty]

How do I sign up to Beta?

I've joined BF Labs

[rich escarp]

Anybody can yet

[quartz jetty]

Is there a specific registration ?

[rich escarp]

No, we have to wait to the reveal trailer

[icy ravine]

This is gonna be a W game

[hazy gull]

Looked all the way back on Pre-Alpha footage, think the animations were more solid before lol.

What a time

[whole forge]

Nope

Technically the only official info about the beta is that it will have 2 playlists about the open and closed guns

[simple void]

what specs u got?

[swift hamlet]

do we know the guns/ if there will be a revolver

[whole forge]

If your PC can run 2042, it should be able to run BF6

[simple void]

you'll most likely be fine

[whole forge]

Since the engine is the same but with small changes

[ember perch]

Best ever

[whole forge]

We better get the Battlefield Geographic in BF6

[fair nest]

it shouldn't if it's the same engine. they've probably done some optimisation

[proven mauve]

‘probably’ is the heavily underscored keyword here

[grave cosmos]

@tight prism these people also like to talk about the upcoming game so have fun with these lads (is what I was trying to tell you to go to)

[tight prism]

Good 👍🏻 thanks 🙏🏻

[grave cosmos]

Anytime

[peak gate]

bf3 was the peak of mine , teaser reminds of old days. cant wait

[junior sky]

the teaser image gives me Contractors: Showdown vibes

[flint basin]

Look like remake of bf3 to me 🔥🔥🔥

[inland lava]

any news on any form of RT in BF6, like reflections, ambient occlusion or global illumination?

[peak silo]

Slopfield 6

[fiery oxide]

2042 has RT so expect it to have something similar to that

[inland lava]

yes but 2042 only had RT shadows, while BFV had RT Reflections and Shadows

[fiery oxide]

Ye don't expect more than that

You aren't supposed to talk about that

🤦‍♂️

[potent terrace]

Are you sure? I am about to delete the message Then

[fiery oxide]

Did you not read the NDA?

[inland lava]

everything we did in labs is under NDA

[potent terrace]

Okay thanks tho. I guess i took it the wrong way the fact that you officialy have the bflabs channel overthere

[grim bronze]

when battlefield 7

[fiery oxide]

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1335993005450199072 this one is only there to discuss publicly available information

[potent terrace]

I got you

[inland lava]

well this kinda is BF7 cause the 2042 reveal was also called BF6 reveal trailer at first :D

[cold panther]

-> The length of tomorrow's trailer is 2 minutes 21 seconds.

[lean wind]

Will now take place off-world and will have near-orbit battlegrounds.

[cold panther]

from reddit. I expected it to be longer

[candid scarab]

I’m so ready to be toxic in the next BF game.

[north tendon]

it would not even surprise me if they are working on bf7 already

[cold stirrup]

We all gonna be playing bf 6

[sturdy pecan]

Battlefield 6 Releases October 10, Will Cost 80 Euro on Consoles

[craggy tapir]

The bf1 reveal trailer was only 1 minute 20 seconds

2042 just had a weirdly long trailer

V had a 2 minute 35 second trailer too

[grim bronze]

There are 2136 more Battlefield games to go until Battlefield 2142

[north tendon]

Battlefield 873 will be peak tho, the leaks seem promising

[craggy tapir]

They need to make the next bf have a weird title again to keep the pattern

Something like Battlefield 1842

[grim bronze]

Battlefield 2242

[craggy tapir]

ATP that’s just Titanfall 3

Which I actually wouldn’t be against

[tidal hound]

Bad Company 3 pls

[winter storm]

at this point, before preordering anything, better take EA pass, try game and if works, but a key from another page

[late axle]

Anyone know if they’re still granting access to labs?

[craggy tapir]

Probably not until after the open beta

[grim bronze]

battlefield 40000

[craggy tapir]

A battlefield-style 40k game could actually be pretty cool

[tall zinc]

70/80 probably id guess

[haughty rover]

Let’s assume that the October release date is real, how worried are we 1-10 that it’s being rushed a bit lol

[tight prism]

I got a labs Playlist inv and missed it

[tall zinc]

meh

[tight prism]

Feels bad man

[tall zinc]

we'll find out soon enough

but theyve had ample time to develop this game historically speaking

[haughty rover]

That’s true, I’m very 50/50 right now I’m so cautiously optimistic it’s unreal

[late axle]

oh did they shut down labs now? I though if you had the invite you could still get in

[harsh jay]

After hearing about them losing 2 years progress on campaign I'm a bit skeptical

[tight prism]

It was for a July 11th Playtest

[late axle]

ahhh i thought labs was like a permanent test server

[tight prism]

I really hope they give us a fan the hammer option for our revolver

No idea could be id have to check

It could be inaccurate as heck just some option in close quarters if you hipfire without ads

Stupid wording

[harsh jay]

If SCP game has that mechanic, games like BF or CoD could have it too

[tight prism]

I dont want anything crazy

2042 being ass gave them plenty of time to make this game work

[late axle]

I want legacy flight controls. Like bf3 style. Piloting hasn't felt good since BF4

[orchid basin]

i hope we actually get a decent amount of launch maps, and get a lot more post launch maps than 2042

[tight prism]

Just a simple rof increase with low accuracy wouldn't be so bad

I really hope hard-core servers are a norm

I love no hud no radar

[orchid basin]

i don't think hardcore will ever be the norm, casuals make up most games population for the first 3-5 years

[late axle]

I honestly have ALWAYS hated the server setup. It can be so hard to find good full matches sometimes, and then you have so many weird servers with weird rules and mods.

[tight prism]

Really gives me that rising storm 2 paranoia

[harsh jay]

Imo it needs at least 10 maps at launch and like 20 total by like year and a haf after launch

[late axle]

and no locking maps behind DLC's

[tight prism]

I usually stick to a few select servers for any battlefield with a very specific rule set bf4 hard-core was my favorite

Just cause I could one shot headshot with the magnum

Think im on 20 service stars with it

[fair nest]

Ray tracing is a huge nothing burger imo
games like this are better without

[whole forge]

Not alot, we know Labs builds were always old

[orchid basin]

the only game that actually has good raytracing is Minecraft imo

[whole forge]

Its just a question of "can they deliver it without problems"

[ember plaza]

Yeah, we don't want another 2042

[tight prism]

I really hope there is an updated vehicle damage system

[inland lava]

i use it in every game i play and it looks amazing, epsecially the reflections from explosions in BFV are crazy, and performance is no issue with a 5080 and a i9-14900k with 48gb ddr5 8200MT/s

[whole forge]

we know the game (even in its incomplete Labs version) is better than 2042

which isnt a high bar but we accept it

[tight prism]

I remember 2019cod shooting through the glass on a humvee with a recoiless rifle and getting only the driver was kinda awesome

[orchid basin]

2042 at launch or post support 2042? they are very different

[whole forge]

post support 2042

[eager kelp]

Battlefield time baby LFG

[spiral temple]

This is probably the first time we have a fair idea about how the game will be before its release.

[whole forge]

Anything is better than 2042 on release

[harsh jay]

Please don't assume that just because playtest build is supposedly old, that current build must be way better. This argument was literary done in BF2042 beta and launch wasn't better lol. Wait to see what beta looks like and expect launch to be the same as beta

[tight prism]

Would you guys enjoy the canted iron sight system from cod In a battlefield game?

[whole forge]

The reason why we are assuming it now is because we actually SAW gameplay of the old builds

[spiral temple]

Aren't canted ironsights already a thing in BF?

Or is it implemented differently in CoD?

[winged marten]

They already are a thing and they make me dizzy

[inland lava]

we have canted sights and multi scope sights for years in BF

[tight prism]

Yes they are but they dont work the same

[whole forge]

Instead of just "trust me the build is old" from EA

[tight prism]

I meant in function my bad

[harsh jay]

BF4 had canted iron sight I think but it was useless

[orchid basin]

even if bf6 launch sucks at least the trailers are always a work of art

[tight prism]

So cod made canted iron sights like crazy accurate hipfire

You'd have to see a video of it but pretty fun playtime if you rocked an lmg

[inland lava]

sounds like a terrible mechanic

imo

[tight prism]

Im not saying that accurate

[fallen oasis]

oh yeah

[tight prism]

Just the same aiming style

[fallen oasis]

the tac stance, was absolutely stupid

[tight prism]

It felt fun to use

[frigid crater]

tac stance can work

[tight prism]

Think of it like darktide braced autogun

You just get better hipfire but you can't ads

[frigid crater]

not really

[tight prism]

BF4 at launch wasn’t great too

[fallen oasis]

it was a 1/2 way between ads and hipfiring, that's how it was develioped

[frigid crater]

you could switch between tac stance and ADS iirc

[tight prism]

I feel like it could work

If its not overturned

[inland lava]

no Launch since Bad Company 2 was good, except BF1

[tight prism]

Overtuned

[whole forge]

As long as the game doesnt have major server issues and actually is a Battlefield game, we can endure the bugs

[fallen oasis]

BF1 and BF4 will always hold a special place, Bad company 2 was literally perfection

[frigid crater]

tac stance made the hipfire tighter and more accurate, while ads just makes it a laser beam

tac stance was good for CQC most of the time while ads for medium to long range stuff

[tight prism]

I just play a lot of support and being able to do that would be nice for cutting off choke points for my teammates

I was an m249 gunner so im just going off experience with my own weapon using the bipod as a hipfire brace if need be

[subtle aspen]

Lets gooooo new Battlefield !!!

[spiral temple]

Still irks me that they're trying to make a battle royale mode work.

[tight prism]

Just would be a cool mechanic

[tight prism]

Yup 60hz and a server browser will take care of any early bugs

[tight prism]

It’s free to only drive traffic to the game. They’re really trying to hit a huge player base number

[wide elbow]

Would we get new teaser today?

[tight prism]

Tomorrow

Can't wait for the anime waifu skins

[wide elbow]

i am 2025 gamer. i cant calm down.

[tight prism]

I’ll take an all black SAS style skin

[whole forge]

From leaks a while ago, only Portal 2.0 will have server browser

[cold panther]

lie /\

[whole forge]

Base matchmaking will be done by a matchmake system(No SBMM, they confirmed it)

[tight prism]

Matchmaking is fine if it’s easy to find and add people.

[whole forge]

As for 60Hz servers, their first BF Labs blog said they are optimizing the game for 60Hz servers

[tight prism]

I dont understand why they can't just make the game with hard-core settings in the baseline game modes

[subtle aspen]

Open beta soon guys !

[spiral temple]

IIRC, one of the major complaints about it was it not being free, at least for Firestorm because that was pretty decent, all things considered.

[wide elbow]

just wait a month after release. anime waifu skin is coming

[spiral temple]

And they're definitely not gonna make this one free either.

[tight prism]

Oh bet

[whole forge]

Oh the BF6 BR IS gonna be free

its a seperate Free mode

[spiral temple]

Confirmed?

[tight prism]

No one wants a battleroyal battlefield

[whole forge]

Got datamined to HELL on BF Labs

[tight prism]

Its so stupid

[spiral temple]

Because that's what they said about Hazard Zone when 2042 was revealed.

[whole forge]

they need to appeal to casuals somehow

and with Warzone being in such shit state, if EA does the mode right they can leech off the players easily

[wide elbow]

Shareholders want WZ mony.

[naive locust]

shareholders are braindead

suits are like 95% of the reasons why games are doing so shit

[tight prism]

Sadly they dont know how much resources and time they wasted on a game mode that 12 year Olds will play for a week get bored and go back to skibbidy toileting or whatever they do these days

Eating tidepods

[harsh jay]

I'm not worried about BR taking content from main game since it's separate team working on it but I'm worried what kind of skins F2P mode will bring.

[whole forge]

Only 1 studio is doing BR and 2 studios are working on MP

DICE: Multiplayer
MOTIVE: Multiplayer Maps and Singleplayer
Ripple Effect: Battle Royale and Gauntlet game modes
Critereon: Supporting MOTIVE on Singleplayer

[tight prism]

Thats still money from the company poured into a game mode only 5%of the player base will a actually play

[whole forge]

2 studios working together on MP, 2 studios working together on SP and 1 on BR

[wide elbow]

all they care is financial sheet. If there is other game mode that can take over WZ mony. They would also do it.

[naive locust]

Critereon is still around? I thought they kicked the bucket

[whole forge]

Ridgeline kicked the bucket

[naive locust]

ah

[cold panther]

deadly bird knows everything

[whole forge]

because i research stuff

[harsh jay]

Unless you would assign extra teams to work on main MP, it doesn't matter much if they pour more money into it. Too many teams working on same thing is also a bad thing.

[naive locust]

who was it that made the bf3 and 4 campaign?

or was that a group effort

[tight prism]

They really dont listen to the old-school player base

[whole forge]

Visceral Games i think

[harsh jay]

I hope it's more like BF3 campaign, BF4 while story was ok. Gameplay felt a bit like playing multiplayer against bots

[remote kettle]

Pls optional console only ,crossplay

[naive locust]

ah righto.
Critereon has only really made like 2 bad games ever that being NFS unbound and BFV (which some people like V)
EA needs to get them to make another burnout game

[spiral temple]

Oh I forgot they're doing a campaign too.

[whole forge]

the campaign did get scrapped once on BF6 because Ridgeline was working on and when they got shut down in 2024 there was nothing worth of transferring done in 2 years

[naive locust]

having played the BF4 campaign like 5 times without wanting to. it got stale after the first go

[whole forge]

They are working on a new campaign

[hallow geode]

1 more day to go baby!!!!

[naive locust]

I still need to play through the bf3 camapgin on ps3

[harsh jay]

I hope they do something similar to BF3 F18 mission and the tank mission

[naive locust]

imagine a bad company style campaign though

[whole forge]

I saw like maybe 1 unfinished cutscene of the sp and that was VERY unfinished. and the footage got removed

[naive locust]

I think I might've seen that one

[whole forge]

Im not gonna mention it as i assume im already on thin ice talking generally about leaked/datamined stuff

[harsh jay]

Yea BC style would be even better, the only thing that beats that is probably original MW trilogy

[eager knoll]

Are we keeping 2042 class system cos if so, won’t be buying

[harsh jay]

They're doing both systems in beta

[whole forge]

Open Beta will have 2 playlists, one with open guns and one with closed guns

[harsh jay]

Idk what's plan for full launch

[whole forge]

After the beta they will take the data from it and progress from it

Because they only have open weapon data from Labs

[split skiff]

Things can change

[leaden quartz]

i open this server by mistake after a long time and see bf6? they are making a bf6 now?

[harsh jay]

Imo both systems work but it's matter of preference.

[coarse compass]

Yea, think of it as BF4 two

hopefully

[split skiff]

https://youtu.be/pgNCgJG0vnY?si=23wf2a69iojiZQ3b

[leaden quartz]

cool

[void crow]

They might probably keep the server creation feature they created in bf2042 Portal which allows ti parameter the server you want and make it more bf vibes or 20242 vibe

[whole forge]

Its being tested by a control group made by community members signing up since february

[harsh jay]

Imagine sending wrong link and giving us full trailer 24h in advance

[whole forge]

[split haven]

I hope portal has a full scripting API as opposed to blocks

[whole forge]

do it no balls

[split skiff]

[leaden quartz]

more paced and slow u mean? cuz bf2042 wasn't my thing with how fast u could move in there

[whole forge]

besides joking, i think CC's did not get early access to this trailer

[harsh jay]

Wait till they drop trailer breakdown the same minute trailer releases xD

[vocal cypress]

In Battlefield 2042, you were told this.
Support is the medic, so why did you use LMGs? It's a big disappointment. When you heal or revive your allies, you're on the front line, so you need a submachine gun. The problem is, you're lying on your bipod and firing suppressive fire, wasting time reviving your allies; it's a bad idea. You'll have to run fast to help them, but if you were lying on the ground with your weapon, you can't. The engineer with a submachine gun is the same; it's a short-range weapon; he's behind them to repair tanks or damage enemy tanks with his rocket launchers. Your place is behind the front line, so an LMG makes more sense for this class; the LMG is a long-range weapon.
Your game will be poorly optimized, which is a shame, and therefore a failure.  Delta Force and Battlefield 2042 have understood this.

[coarse compass]

Maybe could be more slow paced but I meant in atmosphere and world wise like 2042 had dumb guns weird Vic’s that made no sense. Hopefully I hope the pace slows down a bit

[olive basalt]

Nah, hope it's like Bad Company 1: open sandbox levels with lots of destruction that you can tackle in a number of ways. BF3 is far too linear, and the QTEs were lame as fuck!

[abstract summit]

Do we expend the game genre on other games cause doubt that mindseye is better than 2042 on release

[modern stirrup]

almost 24 hours

[leaden quartz]

what i miss is something similar to the hacker class on hardline, could be something like a commander or an artillary class

[whole forge]

I GENIUNELY forgot that Mindseye even released

Why did you made me remind that

[abstract summit]

[leaden quartz]

i hope there is something in this way in the bf6

[harsh jay]

I actually prefer linear cuz it allows for amazing playable scripted moments.

[tall zinc]

yeah saying anything is better than 2042 on release defo isnt true lol

[whole forge]

Okay, let me say it again

"Any game that released which is a Multiplayer FPS is better than 2042"

[tall zinc]

concord?

[harsh jay]

Well, it died cuz it was worse

[whole forge]

Concord's gameplay from a friend who actually played it was appareantly good. but it failed because it was a literal Overwatch clone and there was no need for it to exist

like why would you play Concord when OW2 and Marvel Rivals are literally free

[tall zinc]

i played it, it was just awful in its game design, and the fact they planned literal episodes because they thought itd be the next big franchise, defo is worse than 2042

[ember bane]

WE ARE BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[celest stratus]

some forgot all the bugs and glitches of bf3 at the launch but it stayed one of the best battlefield game after lot of years

[harsh jay]

Wait for beta gameplay that's gonna show us if we're back or not

[coarse compass]

BF6 needs to have big maps and choices with good destruction and it would be cool to have a radio operator class where you can call in an AC-130 or air strikes, Artillery, uav’s

[tall zinc]

there is also fbc firebreak for remedy which just launched and that is also worse than 2042

[harsh jay]

I mean, you are the air strike in BF

[coarse compass]

I wanna see the F-22, A-10, and the Jas39 for nato, and Su-57, J-16(china’s Su35 I think) and the Su-25 for Russia/china

[coarse compass]

So true ngl we are the ammo

[bright heron]

Omg 24 hours

[vocal cypress]

In 2042 Crawford had the same problem, at first he was a doctor but since shooting with a Vulcan and resuscitating at the same time was complicated they changed his role to engineer well what they're going to do is a doctor with an LMG it's going to be the same problem

[split haven]

EF typhoon?

[coarse compass]

I’m a griffin guy tbh, but eurofighter would make sense

[cold panther]

the class name being ''support'' and not medic is a bad decision

bf V nailed the classes

best class system of the entire franchise

[whole forge]

19 minutes left for us to be under 24 hours

[smoky vault]

Yo btw, do you guys think we’ll get a releqse date (for the final game or atleast the open beta) in the trailer tomorrow?

[whole forge]

Nah, the release date would be announced at the showcase event at end of July

[cold panther]

today coulld be tomorrow so you would be saying ''19 minutes left for us to witness the trailer''

[whole forge]

The only date we will get from this trailer is the exact date when the reveal event happens

[somber nexus]

Someone down for a game of bf2042 (I have to download it again🤣) in like 2 hours?

Or BF4

[somber nexus]

I think you can pre order from tommorow

[whole forge]

That could be a possibility but lets stay a bit realistic

[somber nexus]

Nah man to hyped to be realistic🤣

[whole forge]

I am also hyped the fuck out man, but i also want to keep myself in check

[willow lance]

Open weapons system solves this issue

[somber nexus]

Fair enough bro, possibly the best way. But to hard for me🤣

[narrow forum]

Will my GTX 1660 Super run this?
I know my I7-10700F processor is good.
I am concerned my graphic card may not run BF6.

[whole forge]

depends. It should be able to i think

Maybe minimum or medium settings

Dont expect ultra

[restive kraken]

in bf labs, min specs is rtx 2060

[narrow forum]

I heard on Labs is RTX 2000s.
I don't like max settings.

Got zero issues on 2042.

[whole forge]

to be fair Labs builds are unoptimized as hell

[whole forge]

If you dont have issues in 2042 performance wise then you "shouldnt" have any issues on BF6

[restive kraken]

i am worried about my i5 9400

its time to upgrade

[tall zinc]

going by this, you'll be below minimum requirements

[unreal shuttle]

Can't wait to play Battlefield 6

[misty gazelle]

Didnt ea say games will stay $70? Why are they making it $80 allegedly for consoles, which is LITERALLY their biggest players base

[whole forge]

Wait what?

[limber gate]

battlefield 7 when

[whole forge]

Oh, Tom Henderson just said this
"Article amended - it may not be a one-to-one straight conversation to dollars like BO6."

[misty gazelle]

“Allegedly” I said hehehe

[narrow forum]

i5 9400 is good...
minimum is it 8400

[misty gazelle]

16 gb memory is nuts what

[whole forge]

Xbox just reduced the price of Outer Worlds 2 price from 80$ to 70$

[quartz thicket]

aint that like normal

[misty gazelle]

Are the projectiles and particles that requiring ? Damn

[golden swift]

Pax Armata rises as NATO cracks. Their motto? “Our protection, your peace.”

But who’s pulling the strings and to what end?

[quartz thicket]

every single wrinkle, every single grass, every single pixel is 4k

[whole forge]

Again, Labs builds ARE NOT even optimized

So for unoptimized builds yes, Particles and VFX will be heavy

Until those get optimized

[misty gazelle]

I am aware, never tried labs

But just thought that labs are already optimised welll

[ember bay]

DUNDUN DUN DUNDUNDUN

[limber gate]

i love how serious and not whimsical this looks

[whole forge]

Nah, those are Unoptimized Pre-Alpha/Alpha builds

[spiral temple]

Pax Armata.

[whole forge]

Optimization usually happens when switching to Beta and on beta

[limber gate]

although i do remember the pre-reveal trailers for 2042 looking similarly serious with their global climate crisis stuff

[tall zinc]

nothing nuts it's standard

[quartz thicket]

pretty sure today's games require that much

8-16

[tall zinc]

if you think 16gb is a lot then you're not going to be running GTA 6 whatsoever

[quartz thicket]

spiderman is like 32 iirc on max

[tall zinc]

yeah spider man can eat around 20GBs of usage

[whole forge]

Ok ngl

That PAX ARMATA post is DOPE

[marble depot]

their logo looks like abestergo 💀

[quartz thicket]

lmao

kinda

[misty gazelle]

Except that it is not gta6 lol

[tall zinc]

a battlefield game has 64-128 players in it at any one time, that's 63-127 other active entities that need to be rendered at sometimes ridiculous draw distances, have your expectations in check

[misty gazelle]

Bf42 asks only for 8gb min, thats why it shocked me

[spiral temple]

The logo is a broken lambda.

Half-Life 3 confirmed?

[quartz thicket]

no

[tall zinc]

yeah 2042s system requirements are also not reliable, you're not running 2042 at even 1080p without running out of memory on 8gb in most maps

[misty gazelle]

Thats why i am saying min, i am talking about min obv

Still, 16gb min is pretty nuts

[harsh jay]

I think 16GB is fine

[quartz thicket]

it is fine

[tall zinc]

it's fine, if you have lower, time to upgrade the pc, just how it goes

[misty gazelle]

Its fine by me

Just saying, bo6 is more requiring yet its 8gb min

[tall zinc]

it's not more demanding lol
