Dice seems to pursue making BF6 as much 'casual' as possible to widen its fanbase. However, those "casual gamer’s" features just ruin BF6 gameplay for everyone.Red icons above the spotted enemies. This spotting feature allows easy blind killing while the enemies are covered with smoke or dust. It looks like some cheating feature embedded into the game: Those red icons have to be removed from the screen and be visible only on the mini-map and a full-sized map. Dice should rework players’ models and colour correction instead to make players more visible.Hit registration indicator. It enables ‘blind shooting’ through smoke and dust from outside. It also indicates if the player's grenade hit someone even he didn’t see anyone there. This is another cheating feature embedded into the game and it has to be removed. Automatic health regeneration. This feature makes absolutely no sense. It’s neither fun nor realistic. In real combat a wounded soldier wouldn’t regenerate while bleeding to death without medical aid provided. Automatic health regeneration enables the players which have more powerful guns to kill enemies with less powerful guns taking some damage, then just wait for full health regeneration and start a new ‘kill-regeneration’ cycle. So automatic health regeneration has to be removed completely. Wounded players should regenerate using medical kits only.Aim assist for controller users. This is one more cheating feature embedded into BF6. Aim assist has to be banned for using w/ ‘crossplay on’ setting. And there should be a matchmaking option to filter the players by their input device regardles the platform they play.Unlimited sprint ability. It makes gameplay too fast due to the little sized maps. To make it more tactical and realistic the sprint ability should be limited to 1-2 minutes long before rest and there should be a stamina scale indicating sprinting time left or sprinting speed could be reduced. And the adrenaline injector which was pretty useless in Beta could give the assault class players an ability for unlimited sprint for a minute or two with higher speed. That would make it much more useful. Reduced sway for sniper rifles. EA has just announced that “Scope sway will be decreased, and the ability to stabilize your aim by holding your breath improves with the use of Sniper Rifles.” Scope sway was pretty subtle in Beta already. Reducing it will turn a sniper rifle into a ‘laser gun’, especially for using on bigger maps where sniper rifles have bigger advantage. That makes absolutely no sense. It’s neither fun nor realistic. Scope sway has to be prominent enough to prevent turning every match into ‘Snipers party’.Instant revive using a defibrillator. This move looks just comic (is defibrillator able to heal bullet wounds actually?) while making gameplay even faster and less realistic. Reviving using a defibrillator has to take more time. The player has to charge it each time before reviving another teammate.Revive request icons on the screen. They are just distracting and ruin immersion. This game isn't about some mech-warriors. Human soldiers don't have a screen infront of their face. This excessive UI has to be removed. The revive request icons should be visible on a mini-map and full-sized map only, not on the screen.9. Friendly fire disabled. This feature allows to shoot through the teammates making no damage to them, and to shoot with an RPG or a granade launcher into enemies when they are closing the teammates making damage to the enemies only. This feature make gameplay even more careless and chaotic. So friendly fire should be enabled by default. It can be inactive for some training type of matches or some dedicated "casual gameplay" servers. 10. Sniper rifle 'sweet spot'. This feature enables a one-body-shot kill while shooting at any distance letting the shooter to be almost unreachable. Since the sniper rifle in BF6 is already kinda overpowered this feature makes no sense and has to be removed.

Battlefield has always been this way. Hardcore mode is what eliminates these features and puts more focus on realism. I prefer Hardcore and I'm for dedicated hardcore modes.

We do need 3d spotting bfv taught me that, shouldn't be through smoke and nothing outside of recon gadgets should auto spot, not scopes or aiming, gadgets.The rest I agree on.

Bf3 did a fantastic job of mixing fun and serious.You didn't have auto spot, vehicles were tough, combat felt grounded and not arcade like, it had fantastic immersion, the spotting system worked perfectly, the gadgets were all well balanced, the whole game was built around balance.Bf4 started going south, auto spotting, futuristic rubbish, too many gadgets, counter knife etc.You can have cool and fun without overloading with gimmicks.Sometimes more is less.

That's why BF fynally turns into another COD. That's not cool , that's just dumb as f*ck. If the majority of its fanbase is really that dumb, I'm just out of here. I'm not buying a game for $70 which needs me to be that dumb to enjoy it. That's just humiliating.

100% without hard core i wouldn't even play the game.

10 'casual gaming' BF6 features which ruin gameplay for everyone (Updated)

Dice seems to pursue making BF6 as much 'casual' as possible to widen its fanbase. However, those "casual gamer’s" features just ruin BF6 gameplay for everyone.
