Long Time BF Fan Perspective and Suggestions
First I want to say that I have enjoyed the PlayStation beta for BF6. I have been playing BF since BFBC. For me BF3 was the peak it hasn’t gotten to that level again though BF4 was really good too. I have also played COD since finest hour. For me MW2 (2009) was the peak of COD. BF6 feels like COD had a baby with BF. Is it a bad thing no because it’s fun. Is it a good thing for old time fans like me living the glory days in my memories uhh idk. BF6 feels a bit shallow yeah it’s good but only because 2042 was a complete failure and we have been starving for a game. However I understand nothing can stay the same forever and the older generation is not the same as the new one. Which is why COD has been integrated into this title for better or for worse. Can’t say I blame EA as a company it’s a smart decision. So, I will offer a discussion on suggestions, feedback and tweaks that might help BF6.
Gameplay and Game Performance :
TTD needs to be adjusted it’s a tad too short. TTK is fine in my opinion. Speed of gunplay and the speed of the game in general needs to be slowed down but not by much. I adapted to it after play for over 20H but I think something like BFV had the perfect speed. For example when you take an adrenaline shot it’s kinda of ridiculous how fast the player can move. We all end up running around like chickens. Sniper glint is necessary as someone who never plays a sniper. However the light needs to be toned down it’s like a spot light that advertises there exact position. Which is good for me but I feel bad for people who play recon. Also there needs to be ladders or stairs leading to the top of buildings that is a staple in games like BF3 and BF4. Closed weapons system is a must that is literally in the BF DNA please lock it in for most of the games like conquest, breakthrough, and rush. Finally the Tanks need to feel a bit more beefy but I think that can go under gameplay speeds also right now I feel like I’m driving a golf cart.
Factions:
There needs to be separate factions. My suggestion would be to spilt up NATO and have a designated country under NATO for different maps just for example: United Kingdom, United States, Germany. This would allow for varied skins for player and varied vehicles example: Leopards, Abrams, and Challengers. As well as justifying the use of a range of weapons used by these countries. For Pax Armata the addition of Russian made T-90s and BMPs I think is necessary as these are widely circulated in militaries across the world. In all I feel EA did this on purpose because of the many political and military conflicts in our world today and although being a gaming Switzerland is admirable. Who cares give us realism of a storyline and factions that would actually go up against each other. No one should be offended it just makes the game better.
Realism and Immersion:
Levevolution in BF4 was awesome I hope it’s included in this game in addition naval combat from BF4 should be included (PT boats are a must please) varied open large maps is what makes battlefield so different and right now the maps lack in this by a tad bit. Maps hopefully will be configured with choke points and allow the front line to stay intact and not dissolve into players just running around everywhere. There needs to be recoil in the guns right now it’s way to smooth and lends to the COD aspects to heavily.
Voice lines and Sound:
This is a Big one for me and I feel BF6 failed in this beta with it. BF3 was the pinnacle of battlefield immersion the lack of USA marines and army troops yelling and immersing us in the battle is a let down for sure. Most of the time I hear UK female voices which is just not the same sorry. In addition Pax Armata would be better with more voice lines also (differing languages from around the world example: Russian and Arabic). I think integrating voice lines from BF3 and the system of differing languages from BF4 and BF5 would make this perfect 100%.
To sum up I know at this stage in its development some of what am suggesting is not possible. However with live service hopefully this kind of content can be added in.
