battlefield-6

[tight prism]

lol some bs

[toxic holly]

What do you think?

[tight prism]

i guess they dont people to play then

[frail burrow]

So far it seems to be a decent amount. So far pre-alpha already has: Gibraltar which includes the Rock map and beach map, New York, Giza, and the mountain map. So that's at least 5 now. I'd wager there's more on release.

[wooden dagger]

I’ve been trying to to get into battle labs since it started haha

[toxic holly]

Axcept my frn request for guide dude mate @wooden dagger

[wooden dagger]

For a guide ?

[toxic holly]

Yes

[wooden dagger]

I remember the CTE for BF4 that was fun

[twin musk]

did they close the beta?

[worn marten]

Beta hasn’t started yet

[twin musk]

i mean labs like the gam e you can play now

[cobalt tinsel]

???

[worn marten]

You can sign up but there is essentially no chance to get in. Beta’s only going to be a few weeks away anyway

[twin musk]

okay

[fervent storm]

Bet you lot missed me🥰🫵

[potent sorrel]

Here’s a comprehensive, tightly organized summary of everything known so far about Battlefield 6—especially its gameplay and story—as revealed by the July 24, 2025 trailer, leaks, reputable press, and development insights:

---

🎬 Campaign / Story

Campaign is back: After Battlefield 2042’s lack of a single-player mode, Battlefield 6 reintroduces a full narrative campaign .

Developer teams: Single-player is led by EA Motive and Criterion Games (support), with involvement from Ripple Effect and previously Ridgeline Games (now dissolved) for story content .

Main storyline: Centers on a conflict between Pax Armata (a powerful private military contractor backed by former NATO states) and NATO/allied forces, including dramatic events on American soil such as surprise attacks prompting a U.S. presidential address .

Inspirations & tone: The campaign draws from the movies Civil War (2023) and Lioness, plus the narrative pacing of Dead Space Remake—emphasizing cinematic, emotional, and grounded storytelling about ordinary people in extraordinary situations .

Leaked mission details: One mission reportedly involves reclaiming Gibraltar from Pax Armata—objective targets include anti-air batteries, beachheads, with British and NATO units involved .

Gameplay style: Leaks describe a mix of stealth, large-scale tactical combat, dynamic AI, decision‑driven mechanics, and cinematic scripted events aimed at an emotional player experience .

---

⚔️ Gameplay Mechanics & Features

✅ Overall Setting & Engineering

Modern warfare return: Battlefield 6 abandons ultra-futuristic tech, reverting to near-future realistic combat in urban, coastal, desert, forest, and mountain environments—similar in spirit to the likes of BF 3 and BF 4 .

Destruction system (Destruction 2.0): Enhanced Frostbite engine enables true structural collapse, terrain-altering destruction, and caliber-based damage effects—deeper than BF2042 or classic “Levolution” mechanics.

[cobalt tinsel]

cringe AI answer

[fervent storm]

It’s not that bruh

[cobalt tinsel]

Go do your own research

[fervent storm]

Got it off ChatGPT

[potent sorrel]

👥 Classes & Loadouts

Classic class return: Assault, Engineer, Medic, Support classes are back, though loadouts blend class-constrained signature weapons/traits with optional open‑weapon playlists for flexibility .

🤸 Movement & Team Interactions

New mobility and support features: Includes landing rolls, diving animations, dragging downed teammates to safety for revives, and vehicle-clinging mechanics—designed to increase fluidity and tactical depth .

⚙️ Arsenal, Vehicles & Modes

Weapons & maps count: ~45 weapons at launch, likely with 10 confirmed multiplayer maps from leaks/datamining sources .

Vehicles & air combat: Helicopters, jets, tanks, amphibious assaults—and dramatic crashes are a highlight of the trailer, with stunning aerial destruction scenes (even mid-air chases and collisions) .

[fervent storm]

Oh just shut up bro

[cerulean glade]

remove that AI 💩

[eager pollen]

I personally like the new movement it’s definitely a balance between the old ones and the newer ones

[cobalt tinsel]

Dudes deep throatin openAI rn

[potent sorrel]

🎮 Game Modes & Labs Program

Core modes confirmed: Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough return. A new competitive extraction-style mode called Gauntlet (PvEvP, akin to Escape from Tarkov or The Finals) may launch alongside a new Battle Royale mode built by Ripple Effect .

Battlefield Labs: EA’s co-development testing initiative launched in early 2025 with ~600,000 players. It’s gathering feedback on balance, destruction, movement, and class systems ahead of open beta and full launch .

[worn marten]

Thank you for filling chat with things we already knew

[potent sorrel]

Anyone got anything else?

[fervent storm]

Can someone mute the guy for a bit

[cobalt tinsel]

... You didnt bring anything

[runic flame]

AI will be the death of us all 😔

[potent sorrel]

Have a cry its a question?

[fervent storm]

Ye , SYFM 😂😂😂🫱🫱🫱

[cobalt tinsel]

"Hey guys heres all this stuff I personally found on my own, what do you have?"

Said this guy never

[quartz ridge]

Via EA App it's posted on reddit

[grim pike]

Did the multiplayer reveal drop ?

[worn marten]

That’s the 31st

[wooden dagger]

31st

[potent sorrel]

See

[edgy sierra]

Battleroyal with extraction element

[timid otter]

BF4 was sooo much fun bro I just hope we’re back with BF6

[eager pollen]

I mean I figured that the beta would be in August but I doubt it’ll be August 4th..

[grim pike]

Ahhh so close 😭 campaign im sold on bc its BF but multiplayer is what im hyped to see kill the Cod movement

[wooden dagger]

Bf3 and 4 were my favorites

[prime raptor]

I heard something about a mode with locked classes, is it true?

[worn marten]

Nothing will kill cod no matter how good it is

[wooden dagger]

Option to play with locked or not locked like different modes

[desert gyro]

I just hope that

a) the game launches better than 2042
b) that EA doesn't go overboard with microtransactions/cosmetics

c) that the campaign is actually good like bf1/hardline/bf4/bf3/bfbc2 😔 (yes hardline had a good campaign imo - fight me)

[timid otter]

😭I remember I got bf4 with my Xbox one but had to wait until Christmas to open my Xbox

[cobalt tinsel]

This has been said since cod MW 2 lmao

[grim pike]

If the anti cheat is good for this game I think it might bc as a cod player growing up with my brother, it’s in the worst state right now. Especially with its horrible anti cheat

[wooden dagger]

I had to wait to get my Xbox one i borrowed my friends gfs Xbox had it for like a month 😂😂 was playing it on 360 prior

[prime raptor]

[cobalt tinsel]

CoD is too big to die to draw players away to something thats not CoD

[timid otter]

Let’s just hope bf6 don’t have a lobby full of hackers on pc

[grim pike]

The finals was a good one that could’ve come close to shifting the convo from cod, but people hated it bc it didn’t have the cod aim assist. Actually had to aim and be skillful lol

[wooden dagger]

It’s a little kids dream shooter playing with all the damn bs and character skins

[cobalt tinsel]

Ok but you just proved your own statement wrong in this sentence. It "couldnt" because it didnt..

And its a completely different game

[fervent storm]

@potent sorrel just stop typing bro , we already know u got some ChatGPT paragraph cooking up

[wooden dagger]

Said could’ve

[cobalt tinsel]

I know, thats why I quoted couldn't.."

[nova summit]

Do we know if BF6 will have left/right leaning?

[cobalt tinsel]

Maybe I should have added italics instead

[grim pike]

This game has a chance imo bc people are realizing we’re getting the same MW2->MW3 treatment with bo6/7.

[worn marten]

It’s got auto lean and corner mantling

[fervent storm]

Me at 3am with da bois looking for Beanz🤣🤣🤣🫱🫱🫱

[potent sorrel]

There will be modes in which gun selection is open regardless of class, what do you think about assault medic?

[nova summit]

ugh, so no keybinded lean function?

[cobalt tinsel]

How old are you? Genuinly curious because this has been said for literally 15 years,.

[worn marten]

Nope

[nova summit]

im surprised people who have been in Labs have not requested that mechanic.

[cobalt tinsel]

BF and CoD are 2 different games that draw 2 different communities

[grim pike]

I’ve been an og cod player. Started with bo2 with my brother, never got into the campgains but would play multiplayer and co op stuff with him online.

[worn marten]

Would just feel like bf4 assault which I’m happy with.

My only fear is that assault gadgets and perks are going to have to be omega strong to compensate for the fact that weapons aren’t a balancing factor

[cobalt tinsel]

I've been playing since Big Red 1 lmao

[grim pike]

Not og og but I know it’s been said for years that games will “kill” cod. But they were at their peak back then, right now they’re at their lowest

[cobalt tinsel]

Used to rent it from Hollywood Videeo 🥲

[worn marten]

They may have done for all we know

Frankly I never use auto lean either

[grim pike]

Blockbuster here

[cobalt tinsel]

Peak was whatever you're nostalgic for. Peak for me was MW2

Its tough to judge when we are all personally biased

[grim pike]

That is true

[nova summit]

I feel like it's long over due for Battlefield to have a proper left/right lean that's a keybind. Siege, Tarkov, and PUBG have it, and I feel like it would work great in Battlefield.

[cobalt tinsel]

And to seperate yourself from your own bias is soooo difficult

[cobalt tinsel]

All different game styles though. I understand the sentiment, but they already have so many keys being used for their gadgets in BF

And for some god damn reason insist every BF game that Q should be for ping

[nova summit]

not much of a different gamestyle to be honest. BF and PUBG/Tarkov are both open warfare games, while Siege is more close quarters, having a lean function would add to the realism/immersion of the game and create more dynamic gameplay

[cobalt tinsel]

The game paces are completely different in all of those games..

[cerulean glade]

all 3 games couldn't be more different from each other lol

[cobalt tinsel]

Some impressive mental gymnastics

[worn marten]

I guess. With vertical stances it’s just easier to peek against someone who is holding a corner, so you can play it a little faster due to that hitbox exposure which I quite like. The difference in the end would be pretty minor to me anyway

[cobalt tinsel]

Generally holding a corner for too long in BF leads to bullet or tankshell to face

[worn marten]

I know I never use the auto lean cause I prefer the ability to move as well as the geometric advantage a slight bit of distance offers, so at least manual lean could get us using a mechanic instead of just ignoring it cause it just doesn’t help most of the time

Quite literally in all my years playing battlefield I cannot a single instance where I ever used the auto lean if not by accident

[cobalt tinsel]

yea lmao. I mean I wouldnt mind they added the ability to manually control lean, but I highly doubt its in the front of their minds

Would be beneficial to Anti tank and snipers i guess

[tight prism]

WHY WOULD BATTLEFIELD 6 KICK PEOPLE FOR HIGH PING IN INSURGENCY SANDSTORM THEY DONT EVEN KICK PEOPLE FOR HAVING HIGH PING IN THIS GAME KINDA RACIST DONT YA THINK?

[wooden dagger]

Loved that place!

[cobalt tinsel]

Then it became Rogers Video 😠

[cerulean glade]

1. don't need all caps lol
2. 2042 doesn't kick for high ping
   last time i saw high ping kicking was private servers in BF4

[worn marten]

V had it and I can’t recall a single person ever using it in combat

[tight prism]

OH I DONT PLAY THAT SHT GAME 2042

[cobalt tinsel]

I didnt play a whole lot of 5. I was still on BF1 lol

[tight prism]

IS STILL WORTH THE MONEY THO ITS Cheap bf2042

[cerulean glade]

k

[pearl vale]

I skipped 5 and I'm glad I did

[cobalt tinsel]

muted lmao

[tight prism]

can we get to customize our weapon attachments and equip more greandes

damn i cant sent photos

[wooden dagger]

In CA they closed down

[cobalt tinsel]

In Canada their locations were bought out by another company that somehow became a megacorperation in Canada. They own so much its fucked

[wooden dagger]

Not too long after blockbuster was next 🤦🏼‍♂️

[worn marten]

Weapon customisation is indeed a thing

As it has been for some time

[tight prism]

but can i equip more greandes and smokes thats the thing?

[worn marten]

Through field perks you can gain extra nades

Well, that can change as its alpha content but yes for the time being

[wooden dagger]

They still have video rental stores there!?

[cobalt tinsel]

Nooooooooo this was ages ago

[wooden dagger]

Okay okay I was like what?!

[desert hedge]

@placid narwhal they leaked it themselves talking about the game on the ea listing or so and they took it down right away but I saw it and some YouTubers saw it preorder bonuses end October 20 so that means it’s the released date

[cobalt tinsel]

Canada - much like Portland, Oregon - is perpetually stuck in the 1990s.

[wooden dagger]

Shoot my towns block buster managed to stay open tell about 2010-11

[rotund hawk]

When does the open beta start?

[fervent storm]

Ma and the bois at 3am looking for Beanz🤣🤣🤣🫱🫱🫱

[coral sinew]

yo how do i sign up for the playtest

[fervent storm]

U can’t pal

U gotta be a developer

[teal bison]

any date for the open beta?

[worn marten]

Not yet

[winter plover]

When are they gonna make a modern battlefield 1 !!!

[frail burrow]

I mean that's pretty much BF6 if what we're looking at so far in the leaks are true.

[willow lance]

I hope battlepasses are like Finals' BPs. Give two or three months of exclusivity to people who grinded them before but after that keep them open to new players to grind for too.

[neon moat]

thats dumb as fuck what

[frail burrow]

4th August if the leaks are true.

[gentle badger]

You gotta be a developer to sign up for labs?

[neon moat]

so new players cant get anything for a few months just cos they didnt grind previously?

[tight prism]

omg hell no

[fervent storm]

Yhyh

[neon moat]

No, hes trolling you. You can sign up anytime. Then you just have to wait and hope you get selected

[fervent storm]

Snitch

[neon moat]

trolling used to be believable

[gentle badger]

I just get it in the email

[fervent storm]

Bro and he did fell for it until u came in , U were defo a teachers pet back in the day

[gentle badger]

*fall

[fervent storm]

Oh come on now , 🤓🫵

[neon moat]

Or perhaps i can appreciate time and don't waste it by trolling people in a discord server

[gentle badger]

*oh, come on now

[fervent storm]

Jk I’m jkkkk loooooool , why are people so soft now

[gentle badger]

Thanks bro greatly appreciate

[fervent storm]

8/10 Ragebait

[fervent storm]

Are we being serious rn bruh🤣🤣🤣

[gentle badger]

*0/10 ragebait

[fervent storm]

Well clearly , someone fell for the bait

[winter plover]

just watched the trailer and gameplay and theres no way you can compare the 2 in terms of greatness

[gentle badger]

There’s no space between the commas

[willow lance]

Why?

[placid narwhal]

I hope so 🤞

[hallow furnace]

Just saw a tiktok some dude saying beta coming out the August 4th ? Fake News ?

[placid narwhal]

🤷‍♂️

[neon moat]

its a leak, so we dont know for sure. No official news yet

[wraith canopy]

Don't take tiktok as trustable source

[old ivy]

Hello

[placid narwhal]

We shall find out on the 31st I imagine

[neon moat]

most likely yes

[wraith canopy]

They all want to make clicks there, its the same clickbait crap like everywhere else. Just keep an eye out for official dev news and you are fine

[old ivy]

anyone try the pre alpha?

[slender epoch]

Yall better PTFO even in beta

[small grove]

battlefield 6 is gonna be fireeeeee thx god bt3 and bt4 gameplay is back

[placid narwhal]

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m not holding my breath tho, 2042 got me ridden with trust issues.

[vague breach]

when is the open beta for bf6 btw?

[placid narwhal]

No one knows. Only speculation and rumours. Some say August 4th

We’ll probs find out on the 31st

[vague breach]

ah that's what I've heard as well. sad that we don't have a date yet. the 2042 was october 6

[vague breach]

let's hope

[abstract summit]

Early next month this week is also a play test for content creator in LA or NY I forgot which city it was.

I’m guessing they have an NDA till the 31.07 and after they gonna drop footage too

[tight prism]

bro why we need battlepass lol

[willow lance]

This playerbase is stuck in 2015 lmao

[glossy grove]

Battle Royal coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming? I know Battlefield 2042 are on Xbox Cloud Gaming 1 year after relese and think Battlefield 6 coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming. Know i think Battlefield Battle Royal never relese on EA Play when they not add F2P games on EA Play.

I am hype now for Battlefield Battle Royal game. But I think Battle Royale never coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming with EA Play! 😪

[slender epoch]

Bf doesn’t need bp. EA does

[sly robin]

They should start yelling at their engines to make it a live service

[placid narwhal]

Unironically the last time a battlefield was good 🤣

[glossy grove]

If EA not relese it on EA Play we cant play Battlefield Battle Royal in Xbox Cloud Gaming 😪

I only use Xbox Cloud Gaming on my Samsung TV

[light coyote]

If only it was going to be downloadable @glossy grove

[slender epoch]

we got nothing when the game was live service .. no maps no guns no vehicle gadgets..just freakin skins

[glossy grove]

But they never relese no games to Xbox Cloud Gaming outside of EA Play

Same with free Apex Legends. When EA not relese Apex Legends to EA Play we cant play it or stream in Xbox Cloud Gaming

[shell wyvern]

is the alpha going on rn?>

[barren heath]

Nice to see Silk being invited to play BF6

[heavy igloo]

how do i get the beta

[barren heath]

I wish ChickenAU would make a return for BF6

[glossy grove]

More people are hype for Battlefield Battle Royal?

[placid narwhal]

No.

[fleet belfry]

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

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

[glossy grove]

https://www.dualshockers.com/battlefield-6-battle-royale-map-leaks-release/

[ashen oar]

never heard of him but with the way twitter works the first 2 tweets i see of his are his pinned tweet (bf6 invite) and then his most liked one about 2042 being the biggest flop in gaming history

kinda funny

[placid narwhal]

Simple google search said that ex-nato states basically back the pax-armata. So it’s kinda like a proxy-war

[glossy grove]

Here you can read more about new coming Battle Royal

[barren heath]

He's pretty open on shitting on a game when it deserves it so I'm interested in hearing what he has to say over the CoD streamers lol

[tight prism]

Wish battlefieldf 6 has the same weapon customization as insurgency sandstorm

[fleet belfry]

But who started pax armata and why?

[neon moat]

wasnt pax the mercenaries from 42?

[glossy grove]

Where i can send feedback to EA about relese Battlefield Battle Royal to Xbox Cloud Gaming?

[barren heath]

Just use ShadowPC or GFN

[ashen oar]

bros a living advertisement for xbox cloud gaming

[placid narwhal]

It’s a Private military company and the why and who. I have no idea

[viscid pier]

So ready to play the beta 💪💪💪💪

[fleet belfry]

Looks like Scarface is the leader, but what's his revenge story? (aside from his burned mug)

[viscid pier]

This server needs a clan tag. How about "BFLD"

[ashen oar]

theres this thing about stories in video games where you learn more about them as you experience them

[viscid pier]

You hate me? 😭

I'm a recon and medic main

[glossy grove]

You think we must do it and EA Play not relese Battlefield 6 Battle Royal to EA Play and Xbox Cloud Gaming?

[fleet belfry]

It's probably something like the ol', "We were brothers and you left me to die!! Now I'm going to make your loved ones burrnnnn!!"

[barren heath]

I'm sure they will but for xCloud I don't know about day 1, maybe

[fleet belfry]

chomps on cigar, gulps Red Bull "Get a real PC and play like a real player, dammit!"

[rare kelp]

🙏 no goofy skins

or at least goofy skin toggle

[glossy grove]

They add Battlefield 6 1 year after relese same as Battlefield 2042 but i think they not add Battle Royal. If they not add it in to Battlefield 6 as mode and not only 1 separate game

[willow lance]

It's been confirmed this game has been live service 2 years ago long before we knew anything about it

In an EA investor's call, people are just stuck in the past, we won't get premium back

[neon moat]

thats a good thing, premium was bad. Ontop of paying for dlcs

[violet hare]

true

[violet hare]

its implied in the conference pre-reveal that Pax was already a known PMC and so the shift to a anti-NATO stance and being backed by the new coalition is a surprise to a lot

[fleet belfry]

Could just label it a Premium server and not allowed in if you don't have it; would spur sales, too

[sage quarry]

80mm mortars for small maps, 105mm for larger maps

should be spawned at main and hooked up to truck or underslung by helicopter

The L118 Light gun has never before been experienced in a game like this

It's my state's main armement of Alaska

[fleet belfry]

Godzillas would shake things up

[sage quarry]

wtf you talkn about

bro im talkn about artillery in a war game you talkin about scifi monsters?

[fleet belfry]

Introduce some random destruction, like the 2042 twister or megalodon, but more fun, like a land shark

It's not linear

[sage quarry]

.-.

what

[sharp star]

They could add clown skins for the f2p battle royale ONLY if they want money that bad

[sage quarry]

only clowns buy skins

[toxic holly]

Nah!

[sage quarry]

makes sense

[fleet belfry]

Discussions aren't linear

[sharp star]

clowns getting more dopamine from buying skins than actually playing the game:

[rare kelp]

instead of clown skins i rather cooler edgy kind of skins

[fleet belfry]

What, no Fortnite characters?

[sage quarry]

shrek skin

larry the lobster skin

yall childish

[fleet belfry]

I do like the arty suggestion

[sage quarry]

cus thats the shit that actually matters imo

[placid narwhal]

BF4 had probably one of the coolest camo/uniform customization I’ve seen since its release. Nothing else can compare

[sharp star]

we should get peppa pig and teletubbies skins

[toxic holly]

Simple

[sharp star]

Can't wait to see teletubbies smoking weed in cod bo7

[sage quarry]

yall I want to see a 105mm smoke and illumination barrage on im about to attack

at night

[fleet belfry]

Yes, I hope they have day-night cycles; coded them and they add more immersion

[sharp star]

Matches are too short to have those unless its randomized every game

[unreal halo]

I WILL SEE YOU ON THE #battlefield-6

[sage quarry]

Has anyone seen the maps other than fallujah

[fleet belfry]

It can be coded to start sun up or sunset at the beginning

Think pre-dawn raids, etc

[fleet belfry]

Can add server option for start time of day or night, whatever

[sage quarry]

Hey battlefield devs, remember not everyones bourgouise, some of us are rural, dont make every map a city

Imagine a trundra map based in siberia or alaska summer

[sharp star]

at least the maps are better than 2042's

[fleet belfry]

They have rural in the trailer

But that's campaign, so, yeah

[sage quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/top-view-alaska-forest-woods-woodlands-whats-inside-the-piano-gif-15214799

https://tenor.com/view/nature-beautiful-river-mountains-escape-gif-14611133

[violet hare]

watching some more gameplay and man, adding a drag feature was long overdue but im happy we have it

[fleet belfry]

We'd just NTF out of anyone trying that invasion stuff

Rock, Paper, Nuke

[stone grail]

Boys I’m so hyped after seeing all the leaks. Only thing that looks a little underwhelming is the gun sounds and sniper gameplay. Other than that it looks peak

[fleet belfry]

I'd rather they blow up the stoopid cities than our Nature, though

[sage quarry]

I live in Alaska bro, I'd appreciate the training of a russian/chinese invasion

[sonic basin]

Will there be an Oceania server for the Beta?

[fleet belfry]

Ah

[sage quarry]

People forget how much risk Alaska is in

[fleet belfry]

Good point

[sage quarry]

No tanks either, and not much Himars, the 11th inf arctic angels specialize in 105mm artillery

that is the perfect weapon to defend our territory

[willow wadi]

battle of alaska lol

[fleet belfry]

Need a boatload of AC-130 gunships

[sage quarry]

learn your history

[slender epoch]

or mq9

[sage quarry]

artillery is and always was the king of battle

[fleet belfry]

Caused the most casualties in WW1

[sage quarry]

think back farther, back to when warriors were blocking arrows with shields

and launching trebuchets

[slender epoch]

Typically want happens when you have trench standoffs

[fleet belfry]

Imagining an entire Alaska filled with Wolverines!

Love trebs

[flint crystal]

do yall miss when it used to be dlcs packed with content or prefer the now season theme updates

[sage quarry]

neither

[storm sand]

They need to bring back operation for bf6 man

[sage quarry]

and steal RAAS from squad

[hazy gull]

They need to fix vehicle physics bro

[fleet belfry]

Commander mode, please

[sage quarry]

commander mode takes away jobs from players atleast in squad

[sage quarry]

because theres a commander mode to call in automated assets, players dont get to manually do the shit themselvbes

we want to fire our own artillery, fly our own jets, etc

in small maps it makes sense i think

[solemn sundial]

Guys it looks great I gotta say, I’m truly excited

[sage quarry]

thanks

[solemn sundial]

Lol no problem

[humble bolt]

When does the beta come out ?

[solemn sundial]

Rumors of aug

We will see if that’s true

[humble bolt]

Thank you

[solemn sundial]

Of course
I’m trying to find a good squad of people to play day 1

[fleet belfry]

At least let us destroy Commander assets like in B2

[solemn sundial]

Add me if your down

[craggy tapir]

Is it just me or does it seem like EA stopped caring about the NDA. I’ve seen more and more lab leaks just plainly on YouTube since the reveal

[solemn sundial]

I feel like it’s helping them tbh

[fleet belfry]

Grist for the mill

[craggy tapir]

Probably. It’s easier to get someone hyped about a game if they can see that it’s decently polished and looks good in playtests

[solemn sundial]

I just watched a leak video and the player was Dee gently good. It was a good watch.

[shut token]

Just don’t be a tin skinned wire backed clankeR

[solemn sundial]

Exactly, I feel it shows confidence
And they can read our emotions prior to release

[shut token]

Them damn oil veined, porch mechanism

[sage quarry]

Drop some heavy weapon Ideas in the chat mines the L118 and M119

[fleet belfry]

Wondering if there will be loot, like in Hardline, Kelly's Heroes

[solemn sundial]

On that topic
swat skins would be cool

[fleet belfry]

Swat's always cool

[craggy tapir]

Could be neat. It’d have to be militarized swat if they want to keep the theme though

[solemn sundial]

Yes def keep the theme to realism and military esk

As we can all agree no craziness needed

[harsh radish]

Where do I sign up for playtest

[craggy tapir]

Imo they should make the skins only camo based besides for some special ones like hardline’s metal skins

Just add gun charms to replace the money hose that is skins. It’s pretty believable that soldiers would get pop culture charms if they could so they could do as many collabs as they want

[humble bolt]

I was also wondering this

[sage quarry]

Alot of us dont like to run HUD because we dont like all the needless unnecessary things on the screen

[sage quarry]

thus many of us are more used to using uniform to distinguish friend from foe

[sage quarry]

There is a chinese uniform, a rusian uniform, and a us uniform

[craggy tapir]

Ok? What does that have to do with my statement?

[loud fable]

How do I play the bf6 play testing??

[sage quarry]

alot of people want different skins, and you want atleast different camos for different countires riht?

[sage quarry]

How many different camos do you want for just one country?

[loud fable]

I signed up for the bf6 players how do I play

[craggy tapir]

Yeah. I’d much rather have different camos you can use to blend in than random pop culture skins

[sour isle]

Alpha is closed, but open beta said to be in aug 4

[strong gazelle]

not everyone gets access to Battlefield Labs. I registered when EA first announced it and never got an invite

[sage quarry]

yeah, and the uniform camo is all about being able to recognize friend from foe and avoid ff

[loud fable]

Ok thx

[craggy tapir]

Idk? Probably something like 4’s where all countries share the same camos just with different base clothing

[loud fable]

Ok

[arctic finch]

Anyone know if the the class weapons are locked to there class or is it open weapons

[craggy tapir]

Though, having different skins based on the involved countries would be cool too. Like, having an SAS skin would be amazing

[potent ether]

Theres gonna be a playlist when the open beta is out

[arctic finch]

Oh cool

[craggy tapir]

Kinda both as of right now

During the open beta, you will be able to chose between fully open and a Bf4-style closed system

[sage quarry]

maybe specific subfactions for the type of map, 11th arctic angels for arctic conditions for example

[arctic finch]

I personally rather closed

[fierce ridge]

most people do

[craggy tapir]

I prefer closed, but I’m going to do that anyways regardless of open or closed so idrc

[arctic finch]

Gives me a reason to play the other classes

[night remnant]

I just hope that it can run when it comes out and i install it, i’ll be pretty sad if it gives me a blue screen like 2042 when i try to boot it up

[worldly magnet]

I don’t really sit on either side of the weapon debate. I’m fine with either outcome. And I can see and understand the reasoning for both.

[sage quarry]

How many here have played squad because thats a perfect example of the closed weapon system and nobody comp[l;ains about it over there

[worldly magnet]

Closed weapons how? Class based?

[lapis cave]

How do i get into the playtest

[worldly magnet]

Or do you mean faction based

[night remnant]

I even went through the trouble of triple checking the secure boot list to see if its something small giving me a problem, but no, my hardware is an i914900kf in an asus mo with a 4080 super

[sage quarry]

it makes it to theres always one medic, one riflemen, one HAT, one LAT etc

[craggy tapir]

Tbf, squad and bf are in two completely different genres

[worldly magnet]

I don’t think forcing someone to play a certain class would do well in BF TBF

[lapis cave]

how can i play

[craggy tapir]

Something like insurgency sandstorm would be a better example. Though, that’s still a step more towards milsim

[sage quarry]

in one squad of 10 people it would make it so there not too many rocketmen or too many snipers

[worldly magnet]

Sign up on EA’s Playtesting site and hope for the best.

[craggy tapir]

Faction based like Hardline would be cool, but it’s likely never happening again

[night remnant]

Squad is milsim, battlefield is faster paced milsim but leans more towards shooter, the classes all have a role that they play and it matters as respawning mechanics are different, in squad the players are responsible for keeping boots on the ground where in battlefield the points on the map are the respawns for your team

[sage quarry]

when you have a system of squad leaders who are all talking to eachother, its usually better when each squad has it's own goal

[worldly magnet]

From what I remember it wasn’t very well liked in BF3

[craggy tapir]

Did bf3 have faction-locked weapons?

[worldly magnet]

It did

[craggy tapir]

Huh. Hardline is the only one I remember having it

[worldly magnet]

At least the initial primaries were. Which at the time put the non-American team at a disadvantage cause the M16A3 was cracked

[craggy tapir]

Though, tbf, I haven’t played much of 3

[sage quarry]

Whats a compromise

[worldly magnet]

You could eventually level out of the lock and use both sides. But you had to max level the class

[wind hedge]

"fast paced milsim "

[sage quarry]

no his description is accurate

[night remnant]

When 2 parties meet in a mutual agreement? I can’t run 2042 but i can play squad which is much slower paced

[craggy tapir]

That’s how hardline was too, except with in-game money

You could buy a “gun license” to get the other faction’s guns once you got your level high enough and had enough money

[sage quarry]

squad has great internet connection

very well optimized i guess

but im trying to find a compromise to bring insquad players to bf6

[worldly magnet]

Battlefield is just a sandbox FPS. I don’t see it as milsim at all. They try to be historically authentic (most of the time) and present itself more realistically than most arcade shooters. But it’s still an arcade shooter

[night remnant]

Battlefield has a smaller more quickly traversable map layout, squad you have to plan your route out based off of dangers potentially or bad terrain

[sage quarry]

because squad players are depressed af rn

starving

imagine squad with BFs level of destruction, and jets

[worldly magnet]

Yeah, I didn’t play much of hardline. I just know in 3 if you weren’t on the American side, especially early on, the AK74M could not keep up with the M16A3. Similar to how the American Corsair was just worse than the Japanese Zero in 1943.

[sage quarry]

imagine battlefield with squad's coordination

[timid otter]

Does bf6 have tac sprint? Or its back to regular movement

[night remnant]

The compromise is the pace, battlefield is a faster experience as opposed to driving in a logi for 5 minutes to build a hab but then you manage to get the logi stuck on a rock and get wiped by a btr, that kind of thing battlefield skips over completely and gets straight down to business

[worldly magnet]

Normal sprint

[timid otter]

Ok good

[craggy tapir]

As far as we can see, no tac sprint

[timid otter]

I miss battlefield I have high hopes for this game

[worldly magnet]

But BFV style movement is back. Seemingly in full swing. Which is awesome

[hazy gull]

Plz bring back old vehicle physics or accurately replicate them🙏

[sage quarry]

should players atleast be SOMEWHAT responsible for their own spawns in BF6?

[craggy tapir]

I love shipping supplies for 2 hours just to get enough exp to get a gun I’ll lose as soon as I reach the frontline

[hazy gull]

I believe slide is different which I don’t quite like..

[hearty magnet]

Bf6 still has the same 2042 finishers but in first person and can be only done from behind by pressing the take down button 🥲

[craggy tapir]

They are. You can use the spawn beacon in 4

[worldly magnet]

They seem similar from what I’ve seen. BFV slide was a little crazy, you could slide backwards lol

[sage quarry]

right, theres more to explore there

[hazy gull]

Idk but it actually felt intuitive to use lol

[craggy tapir]

Is the spawn beacon actually returning? I can’t remember if I saw it in the recon gadget list

[worldly magnet]

I would imagine it’s the recon specific gadget

[sage quarry]

what about ammunition storage? should the team ever worry about running out of ammo from said spawn beacon?>

[night remnant]

I just hope i can run the game tbh, my hardware is not the problem and i’m not using any kind of “assistance” either, my k/d varies some games in squad i really pop off and get 10 kills inf other games its 0-4 and bad positioning the entire time being under fire and only being useful for building stuff if logi’s even make it to a radio

[worldly magnet]

Well, seeing how attrition was received by the community. This would be a nightmare

[tribal jewel]

Hello

[sage quarry]

why?

[craggy tapir]

If you’re talking about the 3rd unchangeable gadget, nah. That’d be too op. Recon should have the 4-style binoculars. Would both make those be used more and make be useful since you can both rangefind with them and mark vehicles

[worldly magnet]

(I kinda liked having an ammo box on every flag. Kinda miss it)

[craggy tapir]

That’s where support comes in with its supply box

[worldly magnet]

Idk, that’s what recons have in 2042.

[night remnant]

Fingers crossed that i don’t spend 70$ on a beautiful game thats fun and quick just for it to never run and there i am back on squad hoping i even see my enemies

[sage quarry]

ever tried indirect fire?

[sage quarry]

field guns can hit targets 3000 meters out easy on fairly flait terrain

[night remnant]

Btw my bf2042 kd ratio is much better, as the maps are smaller and enemies more visible

[craggy tapir]

2042 didn’t have signature gadgets? I’m talking about the locked gadgets that you can’t remove like the stim shot on assault

[worldly magnet]

2042 does have signature gadgets.

[sage quarry]

I know but does it compare to hearing the position of an enemy tank over the radio, hitting it with an artillery cannon, and hearing about it over the radio as your loading the next shell on the last location

https://youtu.be/IBi-Gf7TL2A?si=0qodpIGzmLcC8Tab

[night remnant]

In vehicles i have a decent k/d but for the most part mortars aren’t really a thing in 2042 so its not a fair comparison

[worldly magnet]

Assault has stim, engineer has repair tool, support has the defibs & recon has the spawn beacon.

[sage quarry]

I would not trade 30 kilsl with an smg for one single tank kill with an artillery cannon that I had to hit purely on radio information

[craggy tapir]

Can’t you choose to not bring those?

[sage quarry]

moments like that are orgasmic

[worldly magnet]

Not anymore, no. Once they did the class update, and bunched the specialists into the main classes, they got one sig gadget, and then access to only gadgets that make sense for that class.

[tight prism]

ish battlefieldf 6 has the same weapon customization as insurgency sandstorm

[craggy tapir]

Huh. Didn’t know that. I still think giving all recons a free spawn beacon is bad though

Especially since you can pick 2 other gadgets alongside it

[frigid tapir]

Feedback - Explosion smoke duration
I’ve watched a lot of gameplay from the recent builds, and one thing really stands out: the smoke effect from explosions or grenades disappears way too fast. For me, that smoke should realistically last 2–3 minutes and slowly fade out, maybe affected by wind or player movement. It would add a lot more immersion, tension, and tactical depth to the fights.

[night remnant]

Like if we’re just comparing the mechanics that are shared battlefield wins, but being a sl or commander makes a massive difference in what kind of experience the games bring individually, its way more fun to be a commander in squad true but out of 100 players and 2 teams there can only be 2 commanders if anyone volunteers or gets voted in

[worldly magnet]

In 2042 you could only pick 1. Since they had the specialist gadget. But yeah, in 6, I would put it as a choice gadget.

[ashen oar]

2 minute smoke grenades would be OP af lol

and incredibly annoying

[sage quarry]

its part of what i hate about squad is the commander system, everybody should be ablt o manually fire artillery, pilots jets, etc etc and just be CALLED IN by radio

[night remnant]

And thats also what gives squad that edge because it is based on info someone else has to point out and share with you, makes it way more team oriented rather than solo run and gun

[craggy tapir]

It kinda does. From what we’ve seen, each attachment uses points and you only get X points per gun

So you have to pick and choose what stats you want to buff with the limited amount of points you have

[frigid tapir]

I get the OP concern, but I’m not asking for 2-minute smoke spam in every fight. Just saying that for realism, smoke from big explosions (like tanks, buildings, airstrikes) should last at least a minute. Right now it disappears in a few seconds and that feels super underwhelming. It’s a missed opportunity for immersion and atmosphere.

[sage quarry]

There could be something amazing if Battlefield and SQUAD had a baby and called it COMBINED ARMS

[night remnant]

In order for battlefield to overthrow that edge they would be adding a mechanic that makes players in the 4 man squads interact with one another with more communication to make a mission objective happen, could be its own gamemode and outperform games like squad and arma in their own genres

[frigid tapir]

Also, I get that not every building can be destructible — it would mess up map balance. But for the ones that aren’t, it’s kind of lame that grenades or explosions don’t even leave a scratch. No dirt, no marks, nothing. At least add some visual damage like blackened walls or cracks. Right now it feels too “clean” and fake when an entire explosion leaves no trace.

[sage quarry]

it really would outperform

[sage quarry]

tunnels

[ashen oar]

this would be making it an entirely different type of game

[sage quarry]

i dont really understand the statement

[ashen oar]

the vast majority of people that play bf do it solo

[frigid tapir]

?

[sage quarry]

solo players are often the jerks

[craggy tapir]

Imagine a bf Vietnam game with bf6 levels of detail and explorable tunnels

[night remnant]

They could even lay it out in a manner where the teams are bigger and allow for special deployables from the leader, like there was this one time a squad built an mg nest in the middle of a road by west novo on yeho and after being abandoned for most of the game i took it over solo and defended west novo pretty hard by myself

[sage quarry]

agreed

bigger than 50 v 50 more like 65 vs 65

makes enough room for bigger and more diverse sizes of squads and roles for those squads

[wind hedge]

it seems xfactor recent tweet fits pretty well now
https://x.com/rivaLxfactor/status/1949544615167602699

[sage quarry]

a mortar squad, and IFV squad, a mechanized inf squad, a reg inf squad etc

[willow night]

New here, I would love to see ready-or-not style character customization. I think the community would receive it with open arms, and that's what alot of people want instead of fortnite style skins

[sage quarry]

and enough room still for a mortar squad and artillery squad

[sage quarry]

elaborate

[night remnant]

Basically we’re trying to bring objective based milsim gameplay into battlefield, which is why i suggest building a gamemode separate from traditional conquest and war modes as it wouldn’t be for everyone, i prefer 64v64 conquest for example but have played the other modes from time to time depending on what i was up for, like a solo player might find it fun to team up with others occasionally to defend an objective which already happens although it isn’t always the intentional goal

[steep jackal]

You mean like bf4?

[willow night]

being able to choose your helmet, plate carrier, undershirt, boots, etc. We haven't had that in a battlefied title to my knowledge - not even in BF4.

[steep jackal]

Essentially what the old bf had. You could swap that stuff out.

[sage quarry]

If the standard uniform camo stays the same across one team it should be fine

[neat axle]

Why change BF into something it isn't though? You could always just play squad or ARMA

[sage quarry]

squad and arma are severly lacking

[sage quarry]

and many of those players are looking to BF 6

[deft tinsel]

Hey y'all, I signed up through labs by answering the questions... does that automatically enter me into the list for the beta?

[sage quarry]

and theres enough room for everyone

[steep jackal]

I think a dumbed down version of it is fine. Like how they had it in bf4 with camouflages that you can change and maybe if you wanted to add aesthetics like a nv or holster types from belt to leg

[wind hedge]

many of those 30 players

[ashen oar]

if its an open beta then there wont be any list to worry about

[night remnant]

In battlefield we have the magic ping or spotting as well, i will forever love the magic spot button because it helps identify proper targets, whereas in games like squad its super easy to teamkill as theres no real way of identifying who or what you’re shooting at other than looking at their uniform

[wind hedge]

they are bad on those games and want bf to be milsim since it have easier movement

[night remnant]

Same goes for vehicles you can very easy explode your buddies and it hurts the soul when this happens

[neat axle]

Then play and support those games and you'll get more of it without ruining BF.

[sage quarry]

dont speak for me child

[sage quarry]

nobody is ruining anything child, theres enough room for everyone in bf6

[willow night]

Also off topic but are they bringing the Chinook to BF6? I saw something the other day but i think it was fake. Would be awesome if true

[wind hedge]

child

[deft tinsel]

isn't there a beta going on currently?

[wind hedge]

so @wind hedge

[steep jackal]

Nobody knows

[sage quarry]

Massive L rage bait

[warped flume]

Is the beta region locked? I'm from latam adn I have good enough conection.

[sage quarry]

this guy rofl

[night remnant]

Bf 2042 had milsim servers and modes although they couldn’t capture the teamwork magic as it was still under the traditional rules of 4 man squads with no in game voice

[ashen oar]

nobody can answer any questions about the beta because it hasnt even been announced

[cold panther]

is that true? First time I see someone say that about BF labs https://imgur.com/a/Jhvay01

[neat axle]

Nah, there's an established playerbase that already loves the arcade military sandbox. Go play milsim and just experience what you want there. Why are so many dogshit casuals so fucking entitled?

[steep jackal]

July 31

[sage quarry]

your opinion is shit

[neat axle]

Nothing I said was an opinion but thanks.

[sage quarry]

exactly shows the mindset behind such arrogant remarks

[warped flume]

I guess but it say on labs they will kick it off with NA and Eu players and servers.

[wind hedge]

be polite. nobody is offending anyone here

[willow night]

You can have milsim elements that make sense while keeping the things Battlefield fans like

we already have custom milsim servers, might as well cater to it

[ashen oar]

thats not the beta, thats part of the alpha testing they have done.

[warped flume]

OK, thank you

[neat axle]

Sorry, speaking sense and using rationality is something the BF milsimmer isn't used to experiencing since it never occurs inside their own head. Foreign concept.

[night remnant]

I would gladly play the beta and not tell anyone, for 2 reasons 1 i wanna see if it will run on the average gamers computer, which would help for better optimization across pcs to help with the positivity, and 2 to help work out the potential undiscovered bugs and glitches that would ruin the experience prematurely for everyone and noone wants that rap for their game

[wind hedge]

silence milsim larper @neat axle is speaking

[sage quarry]

sound like another high horse, you wouldnt last long in squad

[wind hedge]

based name

[sage quarry]

things about squad is every squad leader is subject to ridicule for how resentful and bitterly they lead their squad

we can tell if your a shitter

[night remnant]

Lol

[fallen geode]

Yo I'm bsck

[neat axle]

What do you know of the game? You're clearly not playing it if you're focused on Battlefield. Surely you're adept at Battlefield then and can support that claim with some statistics.

[sage quarry]

bark bark bark bark

[fallen geode]

I've been hearing people are getting banned from alpha test crazy rn

[wind hedge]

they probably broke the nda

[sage quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/reari-dog-barking-koreaboomina-bblmina-gif-24010279

[warped flume]

For cheating or profanity?

[night remnant]

I just spent 4 hours in squad, ask me anything about it and i’ll give you a fairly honest opinion with my 300 hours (casual player not hardcore everyday 10 hours)

[fallen geode]

Right

[fallen geode]

Very true

[silent solstice]

What day do you all think the beta will go live after the reveal?

[neat axle]

What does that even mean, what? Lol

[fallen geode]

August

[night remnant]

Same week most likely to build hype

[neat axle]

What does anyone's race have to do with anything?

[wind hedge]

means the racoon lost its cotton candy and is freaking out

[warped flume]

He is racist against whites.

[fallen geode]

I feel bad for people that got banned

[neat axle]

Aww man, I know the context of that. Those poor raccoons.

[night remnant]

Raccoons are truely amazing little fellas, we had 2 baby raccoons in my backyard a few days ago

[silent solstice]

That's what i hope for 🤞

[fallen geode]

Please if y'all doing alpha test for bf6 please follow rules I don't want anyone getting banned

[craggy tapir]

I can’t tell if he’s deleting his messages himself or if there’s an admin just sitting in here deleting them lol

[night remnant]

I wanna do the alpha test just to see if it will run and accurately troubleshoot the why not, am i doing the alpha test no because that privelage only goes to qualified sweats

[fallen geode]

Probably admin watching chat

[frigid python]

I hope in BF6 we can rent servers again so the game can live longer like BF4 and BF1

[wind hedge]

probably a admin since he isnt typing anymore. but who knows

[stark island]

🙀

[warped flume]

I hope they stop chasing cod when even cod killed cod with these absurd skins.

[night remnant]

Also i believe there is an admin monitoring for profanity, unless they have it setup for ai to auto remove the messages which works but i haven’t seen it work well yet

[stark island]

Battlefield never has or will stoop down to that level lmao

[craggy tapir]

They will probably be free via portal if they copy what 2042 did. I’d prefer if they were paid though

[fallen geode]

Cod 6 using colleb skins

[night remnant]

Its sad i can probably run cod but not bf2042

[fallen geode]

Crazy

[wind hedge]

wdym you dont like terminator vs ninja turtles ?

[neat axle]

I don't care about military aesthetic but having a coherent art style and identity is important for any game and it's so sad seeing the modern chase of collaborating with every known IP just to make money.

[fallen geode]

Eww they don't go together at all

[cerulean glade]

https://tenor.com/view/shoo-go-away-johnny-depp-captain-jack-sparrow-gif-4877675

[night remnant]

I should try it, i prefer battlefield for casual gameplay and it leans in the direct of fun i’ve been looking for however if i can’t get it to run then thats a pretty serious issue with no simple solution in sight

[willow night]

I personally disagree, I think alot of people want to see realistic military type skins especially in a battlefield game

I remember all the hate they got for the woman with the robot limbs lol

[night remnant]

Bruh bruh it would work well and turn heads

[warped flume]

What is reasonably average for you? for me would be something like a 3060 rtx and 10th gen intel

[cerulean glade]

And Mr. Yakiniku said
Go play a milsim

[night remnant]

I just played squad for 4 hours smh

[night remnant]

I have a old computer with an i59400f and a 3060 ti from zotac, if it runs on that one just about everyone in here and on console will get a satisfying experience

[neat axle]

Squad, Rising Storm, Red Orchestra, ARMA, and Insurgency is not enough! Gotta completely alter at least two or three more games into something it isn't to appease me.

[wind hedge]

missing tarkov there buddy

[cerulean glade]

Tru
Keep that shit in milsims and not in BF

[neat axle]

I often forget about it entirely like most extraction shooters

[warped flume]

Yeah tha'ts reasonable I've seen dudes whining about their 2060 not being able to run alan wake or wild things like that, I agree pc optimization is an issue but they are taking it too far.

[night remnant]

Battlefield 2042 had one though, in the fan made stuff and it was actually good, although the gameplay was a limited experience , and it had a mini extract on there too base game but it lacked all the looter shooter features and played a single objective

[atomic spear]

Any word on open beta?

[wind hedge]

rumors say it will be next month. probably it will be revealed at multiplayer trailer reveal in july 31

[warped flume]

OMW to play b1 in my new pc until B6 comes out.

[night remnant]

Good luck and have fun!

[olive basalt]

Hellriegel: The Game

[pearl vale]

Nice!

[tight prism]

Why is BF4 so hard to just launch?

with this punkbuster thing

[wind hedge]

everbalance dot com. update it from there

[tight prism]

tried that, still didnt work

like...literally did that whole thing and even watched a video on it. Still didn't work

[wind hedge]

did you run the update as administrator?

[tight prism]

yep

[night remnant]

I guess for me if i can’t get it get the full round package experience from a game i’ll go to another game where battlefield actually has the potential to do everything in a shooter and do it better, the fair point to make is that if they could have every gamemode to suit every players preferences other shooters wouldn’t be visited or played as often

[tight prism]

might have to just go back to 2042 for now or The Finals until BF6 beta

[wind hedge]

nah man dont torture yourself with 2042 lol

im sure there is a yt video that will help you

[night remnant]

Like imagine tarkov in battlefield style, most gamers would jump on bf, milsim bf most people would prefer that instead of squad/arma, even battleroyal games would hurt from the whoopin bf could bring to that world, it would be like fortnite all over again it would be so popular

[tight prism]

im not even gonna bother. I never had to deal with the punkbuster thing before and it was already annoying dealing with it for an hour

[wind hedge]

1 hour. oof

fortunately i never had issues with it

[tight prism]

TARKOV IS SHT

don't know why it popped up this time when reinstalling it after a couple months. And it wouldnt launch, Tried a yt vid with the everbalance, punbuster A & B nonsense, still dont work

[night remnant]

But battlefield isn’t:)

[tight prism]

never even seen Punkbuster until yesterday. So idek

[wind hedge]

there is other stuff you can do wait 1 min

[cerulean glade]

Leave that in the milsim games

[wind hedge]

search for calzaghe pn twitch and type !fixes on his chat

[novel beacon]

Thoughts on the cairo map?

[olive finch]

Battle 2042 until the new one come out add PapMundo PlayStation

[night remnant]

It wouldn’t effect you if they introduced it as separate game modes, noone would force you to play them they’d just be there and people who enjoy that kind of stuff would be in bf right alongside us

[novel beacon]

Massive skill issue

[hearty bane]

How can i play it 6 rn

[novel beacon]

Bf labs
Also beta is around the corner

[hearty bane]

Any link

[wind hedge]

nvm

[novel beacon]

You get emailed

[pearl vale]

Time machine

[wind hedge]

there is already a milsim'ish separated mode in battlefield man. its harcore

[novel beacon]

?

[pearl vale]

Nah, but hardcore is the best place to make people cry in chat about shotguns

[wind hedge]

people cry about shotguns even in the core mode. dont worry

[pearl vale]

But hc players cry harder, which is funnier

[night remnant]

The only thing cod had going for it irreplaceably was zombies, which the direction for that unfortunately went in ways that the player base that played zombies eventually moved away from, direction is everything and while you can never make every single person completely happy as a dev or director its always important to build the best general product possible for the best reception and sales revenue

[pearl vale]

I've been hackusated for using the 44 mag in BF4 in hardcore, what the fuck do HC players expect? You're gonna get one shotted in HC a lot

[night remnant]

Which is why cod kinda died for me and every friend i had, zombies just lacked excitement and fun, got too complicated with too many different mechanics and it eventually hurt the core premise of the gameplay

Think kino der toten, you had to turn on the power get jug and speed cola and any of the 3 other perks after the introduction of mule kick and upgrade your guns hangout and survive, no crazy big guys no wacked up easter eggs, just good old fashioned run and gun for about an hour or 2 with friends

[thorny warren]

battlefield

[pearl vale]

field

[night remnant]

Thats what makes battlefield fun, no stress run and gun gameplay

[icy nacelle]

6

[night remnant]

Occasionally theres some vehicle 😈 mischief

[pearl vale]

I think we're playing different games, there's always vehicle mischief and chaos

[night remnant]

What’s chaos?

[icy nacelle]

the opposite of order

[pearl vale]

A social construct

[night remnant]

😈

[reef vale]

And intense team vs team

[icy nacelle]

that too

[hexed elbow]

What are the chances of being accepted into the Battlefield 6 tests?

[icy nacelle]

slim

[pearl vale]

Like hitting the lottery

[hexed elbow]

a okey xD

[icy nacelle]

dw open beta is close

[sage pivot]

The game, in short... its success depends solely on the availability of servers and a return to the old search system.

[wind hedge]

server browser you mean

[acoustic plume]

For a small demographic yes

[sage pivot]

I wish my msg deliver to dice

[icy nacelle]

server browser was so good. i dont understand why they removed it

[acoustic plume]

Battlefield is organized chaos, as there are objectives at play, but the gameplay is intense and fast paced, there is an order to it, but it feels like second nature, getting out old reliable on top of a building a taking big long range shots or sky diving on to a tank to make kaboom with c4

[balmy bane]

how long do you think EA will wait before adding in Spongebob Skins for $60

[acoustic plume]

I think their asleep

[wind hedge]

dont ping people here unless you want a warning

the devs i mean

[median roost]

I just applied for the labs , saw some gameplay today and was interested in joining the community any advice?

[night remnant]

If there is no tank, theres no need to skydive to make kaboom with c4

[timid otter]

yoo i never realized how good BF4 looks on pc with maxed settings omggg

[pearl vale]

Low chances tbh

[night remnant]

Please make my last statement a confucious says that would be so cool

[blissful hinge]

Hey, I signed up through labs by answering the questions... does that automatically enter me into the list for the beta?

[wind hedge]

and its 12 yo

[pearl vale]

No, the bet a will be open

And getting picked for tests in labs in random and by chance

[median roost]

True been a battlefield Vet since bad company 2 .. would suck to wait till October . My trigger finger itching for this game

[pearl vale]

I'm craving a new battlefield that doesn't suck too, let's just hope it releases in a good state

[night remnant]

The alpha is the only part in testing that is closed to the public for safety purposes, they got cookies in there and they didn’t bring enough to share

[dense veldt]

Game looks really good based on what i’ve seen.. hope they dont ruin it with crazy skins ..

[median roost]

Have you played the Beta yet ? Looks pretty good for a beta

[tight prism]

INSURGENCY SANDSTORM IS WAY BETTER

[shut bay]

hola

[pearl vale]

It's not in beta yet, the footage online was leaked alpha footage which gives me hope, there's rumors that the open beta will be next month so keep an eye out for the release

And hopefully we'll get a time frame once the multiplayer reveal hits July 31st

[royal rune]

For me the multiplayer reveal will be the morning of Aug 1st as I'm In New Zealand and we're a day ahead lmao

[median roost]

Appreciate the info bro will be on the look out! Definitely excited for this game hopefully they don’t shit the can.

[kindred perch]

i hope the open beta is in august cause itll show how the game really is to play. after one round of the 2042 beta i knew it wasnt for me

[royal rune]

I played the open beta of 2042, it wasn't "a few bugs in beta", it was literally unplayable how many times I ran into bugs and crashes

[pearl vale]

Probably the worst beta I've ever played

[royal rune]

To this day I still run into bugs. Yes they patched a lot of them, but there's times I try and spawn on a vehicle and I'm under the map lol

[kindred perch]

yeah but it wasnt just the bugs, it was everything. like i remember vehicle's feeling terrible, the maps being generally dead etc. Bugs you can fix (see bf4 launch) but when the game is fundamentally shit...

[royal rune]

We shouldn't have to wait an entire year or more to get a functioning game which we should've had Day 1

[pearl vale]

2042 still feels eh even after all the patches, BF4 was great after they ironed out the issues even though it should've launched in a better state

[kindred perch]

oh yeah for sure

[kindred perch]

yeah thats pretty much my point. 2042 is trash even with all the bugs removed

[royal rune]

The fact that the head of EA, or whoever kept rushing Battlefield games hasn't been forced to step down yet is insane

[kindred perch]

so if the open beta feels like trash even overlooking bugs 🤷‍♂️

[pearl vale]

It feels like an amalgamation of cod, apex, overwatch and some battlefield DNA, not really a big fan of the direction. Luckily 6 is bringing back old features that are staples of BF

[royal rune]

This is my last chance with Battlefield. I already gave them 2 from BFV and BF2042's launch. If they screw this up again I will lose all hope for the next titles

Dang, but if the labs playtests were more stable wtf happened XD

[pearl vale]

I'm with you on that one, I'm giving up on Battlefield if this one flops

[dense veldt]

BF2042 looked so promising and good based on the marketing (looked like the BF version of COD BO2. Once it was released I was very let down by how it played. The game just felt like a mess, like it needed a TON of ironing out (and it still kind of feels this way today)

[steady lynx]

Can someone tell me how the closed alpha works what are they testing?

[kindred perch]

my unpopular opinion was that bfv was mid at worst. but is generally is hated so much/ feels so much worse because its compared to bf1. obviously such a massive step down but i dont think it was "bad" especially pacific theatre

[royal rune]

If you want to play BF6 pre-alpha, you have to sign up for Battlefield Labs, but it's a hit or miss getting in to play though. I haven't got access

[kindred perch]

its a marketing scheme in disguise

[dense veldt]

I actually liked BF V , marketing could’ve been better but playing it is a blast!

[kindred perch]

invite only with some feedback but main thing honestly seems to be leaking gameplay to test waters lmao

[pearl vale]

So basically how closed alpha works is a bunch of people are selected to test a game in it's infancy to work out bugs, it's private and closed because the company doesn't wanna show the messy part of building a game out of the alpha stages since it can be bad publicity for a game before it launches

And it's random if you get invited, after you sign up

[royal rune]

Battleifeld V was good ngl, but my experience was kinda ehh. Performance issues and bugs but they might've been on my end idk

[kindred perch]

average battlefield experience 😂

idk i think if this one is trash and flops the franchise may be fully cooked

[steady lynx]

Are you pre-ordering Battlefield or are you sticking with your decision not to pre-order?

[kindred perch]

yeah i kinda agree based on the leaks, it fundamentally seems fine, but this is also dice & ea we are talking about...

[woeful saddle]

pre ordering it 100%

[pearl vale]

I have a good gut feeling but I'm not pre-ordering, I'm waiting a few hours after launch to make my decision

[dense veldt]

No pre orders, let them earn their money by good gameplay and not by good marketing

[kindred perch]

i personally wont pre order, even if the open beta is phenomenal

[royal rune]

$120 for base game NZD btw

[undone hound]

wait for the beta to see before preording. Anyone who played the alpha/beta for 2042 knew it wasn’t gonna be the bf we wanted

[kindred perch]

ill forever be salty about 2042. reveal trailer indicated everything we wanted. then as information came out everything went downhill fast

[undone hound]

the whole “love letter to the players” message makes me laugh

[vale jackal]

why is everyone leaking BF6 vids like no tomorrow

[pearl vale]

The thing that pissed me off is the fact they weren't more apparent about the specialists thing, I was under the assumption it didn't exist

Such a terrible mechanic for a large scale warfare game

[undone hound]

the specialist thing threw me off, it’s not battlefield without set classes and weaponry

[kindred perch]

yeah, i heard for the beta they are doing both fixed classes and open. i realy hope when the game ships it not just open weapons

[undone hound]

heard there was supposed to be a vote or something like that for that

[pearl vale]

The more I think about open weapons the more I'm against it, in 2042 you can be an absolute menace with the rosch mk4(Railgun sniper basically) while having infinite healing and ammo. Probably the most obnoxious play style and I don't wanna see it again

And the argument that people won't use their classes right is silly, I see people not reviving, dropping ammo, repairing all the time in 2042

[undone hound]

what got me and my friends into battlefield was all picking a class and making a perfect squad for all situations, not what it’s become now a days lol

are squads still 4 people or is going back to 5?

[north drum]

do people use kbm on console battlefield 4?

[hallow monolith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WClZ1MP4Ck
this is what it should be - listen to the sounds, visuals and most importantly the classes!! everyone had a job!

[mental stag]

You can i knew some people who did

[tranquil kiln]

Does anyone know when Beta is coming out?

[eager glen]

31st I might be wrong

[north drum]

thats crazy ximing on bf4

[solemn sundial]

How do we feel about the drone?

[mental stag]

Yeah i know some people who prefer to play shooters on the pc with controller because they got used to it on consoles and they cant handle the kbm and the other way around. I did both so that's maybe because of that I can't see the difference. But for example for football or racing games i can't use the KBM. Only shooters

[mental stag]

4th August

[storm sand]

min system required spec for gpu is 2060, my 1080ti gotta keep fight for another year im sorry son

[reef vale]

Oof my laptop is barely keeping up.. currently have a 3070ti in i t

[astral elk]

Guys i saw lot of YouTube videos they playing battlefield 6 alpha mode or something. How can i join it . I want to play also

[lunar trellis]

Will bf6 have console only cross play?

[shut radish]

i also wanna know how

[brave citrus]

sign up for battlefield labs

[shut radish]

ok thx

[spring birch]

Guys that was the alpha play test in May. It’s not available to play at the moment. The OPEN BETA test will begin sometime next week. That is when people will have the chance to play again. 🙂

Google search “battlefield labs” and do the survey to sign up for it! Hope this helps.

[brave citrus]

make sure to sign into your ea account before because when you click they dont ask you too

[tough haven]

There will be FSR3. With quality mode, it will still look better than BF5 a 2042 with forced TAA.
But it will be very CPU demanding. People will have problems with few gen old cpu's.

[brave citrus]

i have a 15 13400f with rx 7900xt

[storm sand]

idk if i wanna use frame gen/upsclaing in fps game tbh, in single player game sure but i dont want input delay

[river marten]

Is battlefield 6 feels with game pass on Xbox

[naive locust]

its 120 for us?!?!? wtf

[tough haven]

Upscaling is OK, frame gen is problem unless you achieve 90fps+

[real sleet]

kinda tired of these big jumps in spec requirement for minimally better visual quality

[stiff orchid]

The future is AI powered AI powered AI…

[wise spire]

Did labs version of the game have forced RT always on?

It's weird that RTX was in all requirements

[distant trout]

From what I seen this might be the best shooter of all time

[stiff orchid]

Raytracing or bust! Just hope it runs good like unreal 5

[real sleet]

certainly not

[wise spire]

I think you're getting a bit too excited

[real sleet]

i love unreal 5 it runs so good on everything 💜

[distant trout]

If it’s 80 dollars I’ll never grab it on principle alone.

Although it looks amazing

[wise spire]

Like most battlefield games it'll probably have a discount within a month or 2 of launch

[distant trout]

I don’t see the game doing well at a 80 dollar price tag especially after the disaster that was 2042

[tight prism]

Will be £70 here

[wise spire]

I'm gonna try the beta and then wait for the sales to be closer to £40 to buy it

[distant trout]

Will? Are prices confirmed?

[tight prism]

It's basic logic

[real sleet]

Theres no logic left in the AAA game industry

[distant trout]

Oh ok I wasn’t aware basic logic could predict the future mybad

[tight prism]

Must be slow then

[fierce seal]

EA is shit

[tight prism]

Thats ur opinion

[distant trout]

They should’ve shipped at 40

[distant trout]

True

[idle ginkgo]

come up for air every now and then

[wise spire]

£70/$80 price tag is for a franchise that has a fanbase that'll buy any slop they put in front of them. Itll work for Black Ops 7 since PC and Xbox players can just use Gamepass
Battlefield hasn't got that luxury right now

[distant trout]

Yeah the toast guy is a weirdo

[idle ginkgo]

fr

[tight prism]

Weirdo

[distant trout]

Exactly they should be winning back public favor not dropping insane prices like we don’t remember 2042

[tight prism]

Go cope harder

[distant trout]

“Leave the billion dollar company alone”

[tight prism]

Just say that u cant afford a £70 game, broki

[distant trout]

This is the go to of “leave the billion dollar company alone” guys, stop masquerading your glazing.

[idle ginkgo]

doesn't have nitro calling other people broke

[tight prism]

Imagine buying nitro on a free app lmao monkey boy over here flexing nitro LOL

[white reef]

40$ to cheap, 70$ to much, why couldnt we just keep games at 60$ like it was for decades lmfao

[sweet tendon]

I'm broke. Not proud of it. But I'm here for the community. 🥲

[white reef]

instead of shipping unfinished slop for 70$ WITH in game purchases btw

[tight prism]

Obviously games these days cost more to make so they rise up the price

[distant trout]

They get away with it becuase people will go out of their way to defend it. ⬆️

[sweet tendon]

It's why I strongly support the Game Presentation movement. Gamers deserve complete games when they ship. To ensure it works out of the box on physical Disc with no bugs and work completely offline without a patch.

[white reef]

i think a 10$ increase in most games decades after it was 60$ isnt horrible especially considering inflation but i think the reason it feels more expensive is because the cost of living is way more expensive so buying anything that isnt an essential feels 10x worse then it did in the early 2000s

[mighty mauve]

battlefield BR gonna be so good

[white reef]

but the problem isnt paying 70$ its paying 70$ for unfinished, buggy slop that has in game store purchases that feel like im playing fortnite

[distant trout]

I have no problem with game increases but games need to be better than they were which they haven’t been.

Gaming is getting worse but they are pushing higher price tags because they can’t make a game without blowing 400 million.

[idle ginkgo]

I think the BR is a waste of money and resources tbh, streamers are going to play it for a week. then everyone will abandon it.

[distant trout]

Yeah I’ll stick to the modes that made battlefield great

[idle ginkgo]

hoping rush is fire again, we need great rush maps like bad company 2

[white reef]

I think a BR mode that plays really good could actually be great for the game, BRs have unlimited playability, and often encourage people who only like BRs to try the game and then find they like it and the game will grow, but thats IF its executed and is decently fun, if not itll just be a waste of money and resources

[distant trout]

Definitely, if rush takes off, cod is in trouble

[idle ginkgo]

if the BR is done well and is different enough then fair

[distant trout]

Fair enough

[white reef]

do we have any word on a release date yet or is it tbd

or a release time frame, id imagine they might ship it around christmas

[tight prism]

10th October rumour

[white reef]

woah what the fuck thats literally 2 weeks away lmfao

[distant trout]

I heard October

[idle ginkgo]

august 10th would be so fire, if it's ready that soon

[white reef]

oh okay yeah thats better lmfao i almost had a heart attack the youtube videos still look clunky

[distant trout]

No shot it drops in August

[white reef]

how do we feel about the UI? i was watching some gameplay it looks a bit bloated

[tardy gulch]

Would really like to see offline play with bots, like how battlefield 2 and the older ones before the bad company series did it.

[tight prism]

Beta rumour is 4th August

[distant trout]

It was a lot going on hopefully they clean it up

[idle ginkgo]

steam deck support would be fire so I can play it at work lmao /s

[hot marsh]

Battle Royale is a dead genre, only game keeping it alive is Fortnite pretty much, companies need to realize that they are not Fortnite

[real tundra]

Is this an open beta or do we have to sign up for it? I know it’s speculation just didn’t know if you saw anything on it

[tight prism]

Open

[white reef]

game looks super snappy and fast paced though im very excited

[real tundra]

Thanks!

[distant trout]

Not to mention realistic and gritty

[white reef]

looks like it plays more like a COD then a battlefield though im ngl

[tight prism]

Looks kinda like bf4 imo

[tight gulch]

yeah

[idle ginkgo]

I just want a modern BF with BF3 close quarters dlc maps lol

[distant trout]

Real lol

[mental stag]

we will have to wait for 31th

[mental stag]

i hope they dont focus on BR

[white reef]

i want a battlefield game thats as realistic as hell let loose but more modern and better optimized

[hot marsh]

They probably won't, they'll add it in, hype it up a bit then never update it and let it die

[white reef]

like arma 3 without the unneccesary loops you have to take to mod it to play lmfao

[distant trout]

This is what I’m thinking

[tight prism]

The br will be free and releases months after the base game, rumour

[hot marsh]

They did it with hazard zone so

[distant trout]

Yep basically just more bloat under the “appearance” of more content

[white reef]

does this one have reverse knifes?

[hot marsh]

Still probably won't help honestly, nobody wants to play BR's anymore (again outside of Fortnite), it had its prime

[mental stag]

because if they hype it up and will update it with battle pass and costumisation... it will slowly kill the concept of the game. i want 64 or 128 Rush like BF4 was

[nimble compass]

gamers when the game has contents

[distant trout]

Agreed, a battle royale was the worst thing to ever happen to cod hopefully we don’t see it with battlefield.

[nimble compass]

🫃

[mental stag]

no just fk that BR

[hot marsh]

Honestly warzone saved MW19, but that was about it. I did like rebirth tho during cold war

[nimble compass]

the game mode ain't gonna hurt you bro, if you don't like it don't play it

[distant trout]

It was fun for that year or so but in the long run did terrible damage to the ip

[mental stag]

we want destruction we want focus on battlefield

[hot marsh]

Oh for sure yeah, warzone 2 was a disaster

[nimble compass]

blackouts my beloved

[distant trout]

Hopefully battlefield gives the fans what they want because delta force is dropping on console very soon.

[acoustic plume]

Br will be so vast.. what an era

[tight gulch]

warzone so boring

[hot marsh]

This might be Battlefield's last chance. 2042 was a big ass middle finger and if BF6 is the same then people just won't care anymore

[tight gulch]

true

[distant trout]

Yeah if this one bombs it’s over

[tight prism]

By looking at the gameplay, its defo not like 2042

[mental stag]

i hope so... bought 2042 on preorder premium ... wont do that mistake again before testing the beta

[distant trout]

2042 looked amazing as well and then we all got our hands on it lmaoo

[hot marsh]

I don't want Battlefield to be in the same boat as Halo and CoD

[distant trout]

Definitely, battlefield is our last hope no cap

[hot marsh]

Yeah I bought MW2 2022 day one lol the game was basically devoid of content at that time

[nimble compass]

doesn't matter if this game is broken at the core people will still buy it as soon as it's out because the alternative is black ops 6/7 which is terrible and delta force which is also equally terrible

[atomic wasp]

how do we get alpha access?

[distant trout]

I don’t think battlefield has that type of pulling power anymore lol if the game is bad it’s possibly over for the ip.

[tight prism]

Every game has bugs at release, no game is perfect

[nimble compass]

DF won't let me level up the battle pass because I reached the weekly xp limit, eventhough I paid for it

[mental stag]

im 30 and the guys who are friom my generation mby a bit older i think it will have the same vibe we had on BF3 or BF4

[nimble compass]

XDefiant was shit bro no amount of copium could have saved it

[distant trout]

Yeah Ubisoft sucks can’t stop going bankrupt

[tight prism]

Xdefiant was a fun game but ended too fast

[nimble compass]

crazy amount of issues with netcode, unbalanced characters, weapons, awful game director who tried to copy cod and got called out for it then blamed his devs

[distant trout]

If that happens we definitely won

[hot marsh]

Nah gameplay was good, iirc Mark Rubin said something about how XDefiant was rushed out because Ubisoft wanted the game to compete with BO6, he even said he wasn't happy with how the game launched. Season 3 was basically going to be like the second launch of the game with way more content but Ubisoft suck mad dick and are broke as a joke so they pulled the plug on it, shame

[distant trout]

Xdefaint wasn’t perfect but was fun asf imo

[nimble compass]

his devs said differently

they said he forced them to copy current cod's mechanics, when that was leaked he said they lied

[hot marsh]

Yeah when the game launched I had lots of fun with it, only problem was there really wasn't a form of progression in that game other than just leveling up weapons and stuff like that

[nimble compass]

people put way too much weight behind a person's name, they think a game will make or break if one famous gaming person is behind it or not, happens way too many times
OH THE HALO GUY IS GOING TO SAVE BATTLEFIELD

He abandoned his team mid-development
THE COD GUY IS TOTALLY NOT GOING TO TURN XDEFIANT INTO COD
He tried to copy cod almost immediately

[distant trout]

Yeah I’ll look back fondly on that game to bad Ubisoft is out of touch, they are still keeping bones and skulls running and nobody plays that game lmao.

[hot marsh]

I'm pretty sure they're working on a new BR game, shocker

[distant trout]

Yeah they admitted it’s an apex clone taking advantage of apex’s decline, talk about unoriginal.

[hot marsh]

Yeah it's apparently codenamed Scout, I am NOT playing Scout bro not after how they treated XDefiant

[rugged crypt]

These days you cant even predict how a game will release.

I played all Battlefield starting with BF3..And honestly this was the best for me yet (maybe some nostalgic).

I think developer dont need to adapt to popular titles. Just stick to you basics and improve them

[nimble compass]

companies gotta make money unfortunately and releasing bf3 again won't attract the new zoomer skibidy toilet generation

[mental stag]

did you played BF2 ?

[rugged crypt]

Ye thats kinda sad. If i see how CoD turned out with all these Skins and stuff

[mental stag]

that was a good one where it all started

[fathom quail]

these are new people working at dice, they are looking around for inspiration, since bfv

[rugged crypt]

Sadly not enough

[rugged crypt]

Thats not bad at all. But you cant reinvent the wheel

[wet jolt]

I miss BF2

[rugged crypt]

Battlefield worked as it was back then. Ofc you gotta see how you can attract the new generations

[hot marsh]

Honestly just remaking games in general is kind of a weak move, instead of trying something new and trying to evolve you just rehash the same thing. Not against remakes but I'd take a new GOOD (<- key word there) Battlefield over a BF3 remake

[rugged crypt]

Depends on the effort they put in

[fathom quail]

not bad at all? 💀 they nearly made fortnite looking game with bfv saturation and cosmetics

and now its COD, we aint getting core battlefield this year

[distant trout]

Facts I miss battlefield 1 the most though that was the Ip’s peak for me.

[nimble compass]

they could have made a great 2142 sequel but the boot-on-the-ground purists would have hated it the same because it's not another 21st century war game

gamers caused the lack of "new"

[wet jolt]

Everyone has their favourites. I just hope 6 lives up to as many standards as possible for enjoyment

[paper elm]

2142 would not be a good move in the "current" era of technology

[rugged crypt]

BF1 was hella crazy. Really enjoyed this one. The feeling the audio... My god

[rugged crypt]

Lets hope it releases finished and with less bugs than 2042

[vernal flume]

whens the preorder cant wait to press that button

[nimble compass]

I can't remember a single BF release without a massive amount of bugs tbh

[rugged crypt]

👺

[tight prism]

shts trash

[vernal flume]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-genius-preorder-gif-22331786

[distant trout]

I still play it all the time, with hud off it’s a world war movie. The game peaked at 13k on steam today, it’s that good.

[nimble compass]

trash opinion sorry I don't make the rule

[wet jolt]

BF2: Last played August 23rd 2011 😭

[vernal flume]

I miss gunmaster where gunmaster be at

[paper elm]

And the reason I say that, is, futuristing shit was "easy" to visualize back in the day because everything looked ass anyway. If you try to go create a 2142 game now, people would expect the scifi stuff to look insane and that would just be too performance demanding

[rugged crypt]

Crazy i gotta jump back into it

[distant trout]

Definitely do it’s still massive communities grinding it.

[nimble compass]

it's a good thing this bf won't be on ps4 so we know the company knows to skip old gen gamers

iirc 70% of cod players are still on ps4 that's why black ops 6 runs like ass on modern systems

[rugged crypt]

Thats good News in terms of limitations yea. Iam super hyped since other shooters are not playable for me rn

[hot marsh]

You think BO6 runs bad? Yeah well BO7 is gonna be on the PS4 too, god help us all

[nimble compass]

lmao

it will never get better if it's limited by the ps4, what a sad sad state

[rugged crypt]

The biggest down for me is the problem with cheating..This has to je fixxed somehow.

[hot marsh]

I'm pretty sure CoD's anticheat is just AI, and yeah that's working out well is it lmao

[distant trout]

Cod has been so trash for years now I don’t even except a good one anymore.

[rugged crypt]

Yea crazy AC hahah. Reminds me of EAC 😂 😂

[nimble compass]

what's funny about cod cheating is that PC cheaters usually get banned almost instantly because of the kernel AC, but cheating on console gets you at most a 30-day temp ban even if you are spinbotting on your ps4

[rugged crypt]

They kept Money printing over Quality..Iam.not against cosmetics but they gotta stay realistic somehow

[knotty token]

Any idea when the final specs will be released?

[hot marsh]

CoD got to greedy, I'll just stick to fan mods and clients

[rugged crypt]

Yes Sir

[distant trout]

Yeah getting kicked in the nuts by an alien using a unicorn gun is so game immersion breaking. Rip cod

[knotty token]

I hope the game won’t be too demanding in spec requirements.

[rugged crypt]

Hahhaha

[rugged crypt]

Hard to say. But with a 30xx RTX you are fine in Full HD i assume

Depends on the quality you play

[distant trout]

Playing cod on gamepass and not spending a dollar on it is the only way to play cod in 2025 or not at all.

[knotty token]

I’ll just go for 1440P and the game running smoothly; no need for ray tracing or 4k quality.

[rugged crypt]

🔥

[rugged crypt]

Ray Tracing would be such overkill. If you see BF1 its so beautiful

[hot marsh]

Honestly the game itself tho, BO6 easily had the worst launch maps for a cod game (didn't play MW19 I've heard those were bad as well) but those BO6 maps man those have GOT to be AI generated atleast in some way man cause they make no sense

[rugged crypt]

Imagine they lose actors cause they refuse to sign they wont use their voices with AI

[hot marsh]

Well I don't have to imagine that one cause that actually did happen with zombies actors

[rugged crypt]

Yea thats so sad.

[royal rune]

Yeah, $80 usd is like $120 nzd lmao

[distant trout]

Is battlefield 6 still on the frostbite engine? If it’s on unreal we are cooked.

[knotty token]

Battlefield 1 MP still active these days like in 4?

[rugged crypt]

13k Players someone said

[royal rune]

Hell yeah it is

[distant trout]

Yes insanely active for a 10 year old game it peaked at 13k today on steam alone.

[knotty token]

Too bad though, it seems 3 is dead, or those Battlelog player counts are deceiving af.

[nimble compass]

why would you play 3 when 4 is there and alive

[distant trout]

BO6 is probably the worse cod ever, I only played it for like a month.

[hot marsh]

Guys some discord bot called EA moderator shot me a DM saying I was warned for harassment, all I did was make fun of cod lol

[knotty token]

3 is considered one of the GOATs of the franchise, and I want a taste of that greatness as a franchise noob.

[royal rune]

I played Battlefield 3 today, and the only servers I could find with people are US servers, and I'm Oceanic, so I get minimum 200 ping no matter what, so it's barely playable for me

[hot marsh]

The bar was low with Vanguard, even lower with MWII, now it's six feet deep with BO6

[knotty token]

At the most, I only have 200 or so hours in 4 with a horrible K/D lol.

Man, the pros really have mastered 4 and stuck around.

[rugged crypt]

I think this is influenced by nostalgia

[distant trout]

Facts they’ve outdid themselves

[hot marsh]

Yeah in the worst way possible lmao

[tawdry hare]

Hey is it too late for me to get in on play testing anybody? I signed up in February but I just completed the survey 🤣

[distant trout]

Just play battlefield 1 it’s battlefield personified and the series at its best.

[nimble compass]

bo6 was actually good at the beginning but then they started dripfeeding actual contents and added a bunch of really shitty looking cosmetics instead

[rugged crypt]

🥶

[hot marsh]

Nah it was still pretty bad at the start MP wise thanks to the god awful maps

[rugged crypt]

Imagine you buy all cosmetics..One Huge Pack is around 30€ no ?

[knotty token]

Potato laptop may not be able to handle the game.

Kinda waiting for a potential hope that my proper gaming rig can materialize this December.

[distant trout]

As a long time fan it’s dog ass

[knotty token]

Wanna prep up the specs in preparation for BF6.

[rugged crypt]

It was good BUT THE SBMM Help me God. This was the worst Game experience

[royal rune]

The only way I can properly enjoy BF3 is if I move to the US and have decent ping, but I don't think I wanna do that at any point soon seeing how the US is atm

[nimble compass]

I liked it at the beginning because of the setting and the new movement but you're telling me I have to wait 3 months for a single new weapon and it's actually an old weapon from cold war you could have added at launch?

[hot marsh]

SBMM is a problem across all the games now which is insane

[distant trout]

Roger, hoping for your new rig set up 🫡

[knotty token]

I’ve never got the modern multiplayer experience, but is SBMM really that bad?

Is it like stepping into a BF4 server with sweats running around?

[rugged crypt]

Yea but CoD got to another Level. Imagine it calculates how long you stay in games or if you quit you get better Lobbies for a few games

[nimble compass]

also everyone just play the tiny tdm maps because they want instant dopamine hit

[distant trout]

It’s terrible and manipulation but a necessary evil for player counts

[hot marsh]

Should I even try to imagine that lol?

[knotty token]

Battlefield made me appreciate the idea of team games like CQ and CQL.

Gives me a chance to contribute to the team, even if my K/D is less than stellar.

[rugged crypt]

Ah i forgot it is that way 🦁

[royal rune]

I mean if you play BF4 in Oceanic servers, there's sweats there anyway so it's not much different lol

[knotty token]

I do FPSG servers in 4, can confirm lol.

[royal rune]

omfg FPSG servers are the worst with sweats

my username is SoftTacosDenis, I give out soft tacos wherever I go

[knotty token]

I think I’ve seen that name around.

[hazy jewel]

When is alpha? How can we sign up?

[distant trout]

At this point I’ve just been playing the finals for my fps fix, it’s probably the best choice on the market at this moment.

[royal rune]

I'm mainly on lockers 24/7 lmao

[rugged crypt]

Someone said Beta coming 4th of August

[knotty token]

6 is still slated for a 2026 release?

[hot marsh]

I never looked into the finals, it's probably a fine game but I just never really cared all that much

[knotty token]

Y’know, don’t wanna get caught up in GTA VI’s thunder and all.

[distant trout]

It’s looking like October of this year

[royal rune]

It's a fun game, it's like Battlefield on a game show lmao

[distant trout]

It’s kind of one of those game you have to play for a little before it clicks and when it clicks you realize it offers alot of what fps gamers have been asking for.

[knotty token]

Oh? So, that explains the beta coming up, sort of?

[royal rune]

And btw, half of the DICE devs that left after 2042 went to work on the finals and they did gaming a big service!

[knotty token]

I’d assume that if the 2026 release is something to follow, the beta would come at a later time.

[balmy surge]

had a look at bf6 gameplay and it acc looks pretty good, maybe movement can be slowed down a smidge but i think dice has actually pushed out a good game this time

[distant trout]

Yeah I think someone said the beta is in August with the launch in October

[distant trout]

Yeah the finals is super underrated, definitely a top tier fps game.

[knotty token]

I hope two months into release won’t get me at the mercy of sweatlords lol.

[glass fox]

now run pre-aplha test?

[valid roost]

Who?

[royal rune]

Who what lol

[fierce seal]

EA i sell you my first born if the game is not shit !

[valid roost]

Surely if you can state that half of DICE left, you can name at least 5 devs or artists who left

[nimble compass]

gamers when game devs leave after a project

[tight prism]

Beta is soon, wait for that

[royal rune]

"Several individuals left DICE to work on "The Finals" at Embark Studios. Specifically, Patrick Söderlund (former CEO of DICE) and Rob Runnesson (former chief creative officer) co-founded Embark Studios. Additionally, Fawzi Mesmar, DICE's former head of design, also left the company following the release of Battlefield 2042."
