My BF6 Beta Feedback
Overall I had a blast with the Beta. The game mostly feels good. These are just some things I noticed. I played on ps5.
The biggest and most common issue I had was inconsistent damage. I have good internet always under 30 ping. When firing full auto and stacking up hits quickly it seemed like there were times damage calculation wouldnt trigger a kill when it should even in the firing range there were times when it would take 150-175 damage to drop a target. Lots of times in game the amount of hits needed to kill would vary greatly. Pushing for follow up damage would encounter a similar problems you could hit for 85, try to follow up do another 50 and still not get a kill. I like the ttk overall but it was constantly changing up and down.
Im not sure what caused it but there were several times I was completely unable to leave the game or lobby and return to the menu. Selecting the "quit to menu" button would give a load screen and send me right back into the same game repeatedly. The only way to fix it was to close the game from the ps home screen and restart it.
Reticle brightness needs to be somewhat adjustable on illuminated sights they are far to dim. I played with all kinds of graphics settings trying to make it better and nothing helped. Iron sights had a better sight picture than most of the sights.
Its a small thing that doesnt effect gameplay but I noticed that having a grip doesnt change how your character holds the gun when you ads your hand is still holding the rifle as if there was no grip when you have a sight attached.
Landing shots on a sniper should cause flinch and make it harder to be accurate. Even at a reasonable distance 200m and in, its nearly impossible to counter a sniper when they can just eat 4-7 shots and still be perfectly accurate.
Grenades and rpgs felt mostly useless outside of blowing up cover.
I dont mind open weapons too much. I think a good balance would be to lose a gadget slot if you play with a weapon outside of your class. It would make the choice actually change how you can play in game. Losing just the tiny passive boosts are not enough. If I switch to an AR as Recon I dont care about bolt cycling speed, im not even using a bolt rifle etc.
Attachment and gun balancing of course.
I feel like the color scheme for the pax faction needs some adjusting. They have a huge advantage being nearly invisible in dark places that exsist in every map while nato stands out pretty much everywhere.
Squad sizes could be bigger. Using voice chat is pretty much pointless when 90% of your team cant hear you.
Just my thoughts. Overall this was one of the best FPS experience Ive had in several years, but it will need to improve to keep people playing for an extended period of time.
