Battlefield 6: A Call of Duty Clone That Betrays the Series
Battlefield 6 is a profound disappointment for longtime fans, turning what was once a hallmark of large-scale, tactical warfare into a shameless Call of Duty clone. The Battlefield series has always stood out for its relative realism, emphasis on strategy, and teamwork, but EA has completely abandoned this identity in favor of a fast-paced, shallow, instant-gratification style that mirrors its competitor.
One of the most egregious issues is the automatic and now absurdly fast health regeneration, a mechanic that not only mimics Call of Duty but strips away any sense of strategic consequence from gameplay. Instead of encouraging cautious play, reliance on teammates, or the critical role of the medic, this feature transforms Battlefield 6 into a chaotic run-and-gun fest where survival requires no thought or coordination. Every match feels like a mindless deathmatch straight out of Call of Duty, lacking the depth that once defined the series.
Shame on you, EA, for sacrificing Battlefield’s uniqueness in a greedy chase for profit and mainstream appeal! Instead of innovating or honoring the series’ legacy, you’ve stripped it of its soul.
