Battlefield 6: A Half-Baked Mess Sold as a “Full Game”
Lobby & Settings
The lobby interface is an absolute disaster. It’s bloated, clunky, and painfully difficult to navigate. In comparison, Battlefield 2042’s lobby is clean and functional. Battlefield 6 feels like the chaotic work of a drunk designer — completely lacking structure.
The settings menu is a confusing mess. Options overlap and are illogically organized, far inferior to the simple and clear layout of Battlefield 2042.
Maps & Visual Experience
The backgrounds outside the playable combat zones are overly decorated, causing visual fatigue and eye strain, as if the designers wanted players to sightsee instead of focusing on combat. This is supposed to be a battlefield, not a tourist attraction.
The visuals are blurry, resembling pixelated mosaics. The filters are excessively “realistic,” lacking the softer, balanced look of Battlefield 2042. Overall, the visuals are dull and uninspiring.
Character & Animation Design
Some character tactical animations (like automatically throwing grenades) are extremely poorly designed and prone to accidental activation.
Gunplay feels terrible. Weapon balance is a mess — SMGs stand far above every other weapon type, to the point where using anything else feels like a handicap. This completely breaks the weapon balance and severely undermines the gameplay experience.
Game Balance & Progression Systems
Post-launch game balance is a complete disaster. The developers blindly adopted negative feedback from some beta players. Certain bugs (like ladder climbing or continuous slide-jump combos) originally added fun and competitiveness; optimizing and keeping them would’ve been better, but instead they were outright banned — a sign that the design team lacks vision.
Weapon attachment progression is painfully grindy, requiring absurd amounts of XP, while vehicle attachments need only minimal XP. This is completely unbalanced and unfair.
The Portal mode offers very limited DIY options, and the rewards are heavily reduced — nowhere near the freedom Battlefield 2042’s Portal mode provided.
Player Reactions & Overall Evaluation
Some early pre-order players have already started requesting refunds. This release can only be described as a total failure.
