Battlefield 6 Feedback after playing 50h
Dear Dice,
Not sure if this is the correct way to give feedback about the battlefield 6 Beta after playing all two weekends 50h in sum. As this is the EA forum where I saw people giving feedback about BF6 I just start here I would say.
A little to my person:
I started playing BF with BFBC2 and BF Vietnam. Came from COD back those days when COD was playable and Vince was leading IW to be honest I stopped playing COD after BO3.
My BF highlights were BF3 which is the GOAT in my opinion and BF4. I got around 20k playtime over all BF titles the Majority BF3 and BF4.
About the Beta and the state of Battlefield 6 I would like to give my input as an experienced Battlefield player with over 10-20 decades of experience.
Please keep in mind that every single person depending on how good of a player he or she is, is having a different experience in BF.
There are players who barely play video games maybe few hours a week and have the time of their lives in BF video games because they just play support for revives or ammo resupplies.
I play Battlefield 6 as a KD driven Assaulter I am that kind of player who is using AEK 971 as medic trying to get as much kills as possible and die as less as possible.
Let me start with the optical part of the game I am playing on Playstation only.
The game looks amazing the destruction looks realistic but generic, with generic I mean I got the feeling that all buildings crash the same way. Which isn't really bad but generic. That is really positive having in mind there might be a cinematic like destruction sequence like the crane from BF Hardline or the tower from the Chinese City in BF4. Maybe some of those are in the other maps when the game comes out. I really feel like I am playing a war game I like the visuals. If the soldier skins stay the same with Micro transactions and weapons camos I am fine with the visuals.
Coming to the gunplay of Battlefield 6 I noticed some issues. I got the feeling that my weapon is less deadly , everything beyond like 20-30 metres needs more bullets to get killed almost a magazine ??? I know that I am hitting the enemy because of the hitmarkers they either get in cover or lay down to avoid death. It is really frustrating as a good player with aim that enemies are able to just walk away after I have hit them like 10 bullets on distance. Don't get me wrong people are traumatized because of COD which I luckily was able to avoid by just not buying COD anymore but the TTK feels really off on distance on close range it is almost fine when you 1v1, but when you hit multiple enemies on close range strange things happen to the damage done by my gun or to the netcode ?I am not the player who is camping in the corner 24/7 to get one kill with high TTK I run around getting into every dogfight short or long distance but I never felt such weakness of my weapon on long distances. I was always using ARs or Carbines on other BFs, lets take the recent one 2042 I am able to gundown people across the map with 5 controlled single shots which is impossible in Battlefield 6. The same applies to close MULTIPLE enemies I got footage gunning down 5 enemies with 25 bullets. That is impossible on BF6 if you don't flank enemies from behind and pray that no one sees you.
When I have like 5 people standing right in front of me, it feels like the netcode is doing weird things which always was the case in BF when you tried to shoot down multiple enemies at close range.In Battlefield 6 this has reached another peak sometimes I shoot down 5 of them with one mag sometimes I only see hit markers and die. I tried LMGs to see how they perform LMG feel like the old ARs in older Battlefields but there is a big disadvantage the ADS and movement is soo slow that you can't really play offensive. LMG kills very fast on every distance except sniper distance but you feel like a heavy big rock.
I am not quite sure what the intention of Dice is doing such step but the only conclusion I can come to is, that Dice wants to avoid an aggressive player to be able to gundown everything with fast movement and skill ? Coming to the movement this game feels more like a COD regarding the movement rather than a BF. BF6 doesn't have the Battlefield touch anymore you know that you play BF but you don't feel it ! The sprinting itself was almost the same on all BFs you felt like a normal soldier, on BF6 I feel like I am sprinting in COD with BF6. The reload animations are COD weapon reloads with the fast reload perk. There is basically no reloading anymore in BF6 it feels like changing cartridges on a camera don't know how to describe it.
People claim that the maps are too small but I think that the combination of fast movement and these maps in the beta does let us feel that the map is small as well. Yes the maps are small but with that movement they feel even smaller I did not really have any break moments in Cairo for example from one gunfight to other.
I just wanted to get this out of my chest and understand why especially ARs and Carbines are so nerfed on distance I hope it will change. Another thing which needs to change is recoil it would be great to add that to the game lol, none of the weapons have recoil not even the LMGs another thing which I lead back to, let the normies have their fun ? Recoil isn't present in Battlefield 6.
Spotting needs a rework I feel like everyone who is bored and waiting somewhere accross the map is waiting for someone to get spotted ? Which is not a problem because no one basically does deadly damage on distance but when 2 - 3 people shoot you on distance and hit you, you're dead the same time. It makes no sense having such spotting mechanism especially such a fat big dot like in COD. The only explanation is helping the bad players.
So I really hope Dice is tackling these issues we saw what happened to COD when they ignored their hardcore fanbase nobody takes COD serious anymore so please I appeal on you Dice listen to the OG BF players as well. I am glad Vince worked in BF6 he is a Legend in the FPS genre I love him but he needs to keep the BF identity which he partially almost accomplished in my opinion.
Coming to the things I hate about the game why on earth is a Playstation player able to plugin mouse and keyboard and play the game ? This needs to be removed as soon as possible !!! I want controller players to play against controller players not mouse and keyboard against controller when crossplay is OFF ????? Please Dice remove that function or bring the feature that as soon as mouse and keyboard is available in the squad just matchmake mixed with PC but only controllers just with controllers players please.
Take Insurgency Sandstorm as example with their last update the brought the best Crossplay/mous keyboard controller system. This one definitely needs to be changed and is one of the reasons why I wouldn't buy the game.
Another thing I hate about BF6 the attachments change the gunplay enormously. If you don't run all precision and bullet velocity your bullets won't hit at all, the blooming/spread is soo high on default weapons that bullets miss even on close range. When you don't figure out quickly which attachments you need to use, you are screwed your bullets wont hit !!!!
Too many attachments which change your gun massively something taken over from COD as well. BF does not need that even the attachment menu looks the same like in COD. On older BFs attachments matters as well, but not in that scale the gun feels like another gun after you have set the right attachments on it??? I don't get it I don't like it personally.
I like the way Battlefield 6 is heading but the things I have mentioned above need to be tackled especially netcode TTK on distance and close range with multiple enemies and PLEASE add the freature that controller is playing against controller !!!!!!!! not mouse and keyboard vs controller.
Never seen so many people chatting on the ingame chat on Playstation almost everyone is playing with mouse and keyboard on PS5.
I am waiting for my stats email from EA but I assume that my KD is between 3-4. Please Dice listen to the OG BF Playerbase I want to play medic with a deadly gun in my hands not an air soft gun.
