My take on BF6 beta so far…

This game plays and feels as much Like COD as CS does Siege. its not the game, its the Gamers.

Can I ask are you a console player like me as I am having trouble getting kills there seems to be no aim assist and I’m lucky to get 4 or 5 kills a match tried looking at settings but that’s a joke no idea what most of them do and adjusting anything just makes things worse.I do think there are to many players on some maps as I get killed from all sorts of angles I literally don’t stand a chance it’s more like cod than bf !!

Controller default settings are so bad that i genuinely want to know who did it, but may i suggest Either 'TheTacticalBrit' or 'XclusiveAce' on YouTube who have put out videos with infinitely better settings, their settings are almost identical so either one will drastically improve your experience

just beware theres ALOT of settings to change and its gonna take a minute or 10 but the game is unplayable on controller otherwise

Squirrel, Im on PS5 and have the same issue. Was just getting owned all day yesterday. Was so excited to play but couldn't play more than 2 or 3 matches at a time before I quit in frustration and took a break. Had better luck tonight, mainly by just being extremely cautious and checking corners. Still get wrecked and seems like I die from 3 bullets from across the map while it takes me half a mag or more to kill them even close distance. One thing that seems to have helped tho is turning off the auto stand while sprinting. So unless I'm trying to run faster I crouch run most of the time and keep my head down. Still get owned most of the time but I'm at least lasting longer. Sucks because I've been playing Battlefield since 2 and seems like the franchise is becoming just another twitch shooter catering to adhd crowds while still trying to be Battlefield. Im glad I didnt pre order, gonna wait and see what changes if anything. Actually went back to 2042 lastnight just to feel better about my skills lol

Yes I agree gone are the times you can chill on bf with a mate and have some fun I posted loads of videos on YouTube getting up to shenanigans in game but don’t get the same vibe with 6 might go back to bf4 but map rotation is limited so I get a bit board after an hour or so I do hope they can sort the aim out and glad I’m not the only one with these issues have spent more than a couple of hours in the beta just on settings in the end I just defaulted them back to original !!

Part of it is of course the players, but the map design is set up for running around like headless chickens from flag to flag. There is hardly anywhere for a squad, let alone a single player to try and lock down/defend a flag or attacking lane. The flags are a little too close together, or it could be that the movement speed is far too fast. 

You make a very valid point. People who play COD play it because it's fast paced. Battlefield is supposed to be strategic, and this just doesn't feel like it just yet.
I'm really hoping that the open beta is just smaller maps to show everyone how the game feels, because if this is really how all the maps will be, it's basically just another COD, but with vehicles.

Flags are too close together and the capture zones are too small.

Result: flags suffering from extreme congestion.

Yes, Xbox. 
there is aim assist in the game, you can find it under settings->gameplay at the bottom.

Going to try without aim assist wish me luck !!! :(
