Battlefield 6 Weekend 1 Beta Feedback.
So overall this is the most enjoyable Battlefield game I've played so far. It ran decently well on my aging pc and it was the most fun I've had playing a traditional FPS since 2019. Barring a huge drop in quality or issues on release I will be buying this on steam. That being said this game could use a bit more balance and tweaking. Here are my suggestions
1: Domination mode needs the A and C flags further apart and more defensible. It was too much Ring Around the Rosie with constant base flag flips. Every time you would push for B your home flag would get captured and then you had to capture their home flag. Felt too random and chaotic and led to a lot of spawn killing.
2: Assault Rifle/carbine buffs: ARs and Carbines have a touch too much spread and horizontal recoil on full auto. This means they are super outclassed at mid to long range by snipers and dmrs, while also being outclassed at short range by LMGs, shotguns, and smgs. The bloom needs to not kick in until the barrel is red hot, reduce horizontal recoil a bit, and adopt a 30-24-20 damage profile or just 30-24 to keep them able to be at least capable of fighting back against sniper he'll without just dying and swapping to a sniper. It will still take 5 well aimed shots at distance, but this is far better than the 7-8 it takes and is limited by increased drop.
3: Bullet velocity: most rifle rounds are traveling far too slow. At 100 meters most rifle rounds (barring special sub sonic ammo) the bullet should get there near instantly. A good rough number to but for all rifle rounds should be about 800 meters per second. This will also help prevent sniper hell as mentioned above without making snipers useless.
4: Make the shotgun the signature weapon for the assault class and make ARs accessible to all classes in classic mode. The AR/carbine is the standard primary rifle for all members of the military. No matter what your role you can fall back on being a rifleman with your country's primary AR/carbine and the game should reflect that.
I feel like if these changes are implemented this will go a long way to making this the best battlefield ever.
Thank you
