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.

    I really don't get this. The game is already miles ahead of BF2042, with the exception of the UI. Especially criticizing the map design compared to 2042... That game has the worst maps in the franchise's history.

    A well and thought out read. How long did it take you to compile this reply? 

    However, I have to say I find your reply completely misguided to those who might be wishing to try a new FPS game or return to the Battlefield franchise after the massive hiccup that is known as Battlefield 2042 - the gigantic, megalodon sized herring in the franchises line up.

    Battlefield 6 is a massive leap forwards for the franchise and a return to form. It's frantic, heart-beating, exhilarating fun. Yes, the menus are not the great; even Battlefield V's menus were better! But where it matters (game play etc) is where it delivers. I'd perhaps even agree that weapon attachment grinds are a little on the "OTT - over the top" side of things, but at least we have a grind. As for SMGs being better than conventional long ranged weapons? Please, settle yourself down a bit. No they are not. I've got nearly 20 hours game play in already and I categorically state that ARs are better at long range engagements than SMGs. 

    The biggest problem out of whole comment that you made was in fact that you'd rather play Battlefield 2042 instead of the far superior Battlefield 6. Which makes me think you are only saying that purely down to the fact you are getting absolutely pummelled left, right and centre. As the saying goes, sir... Get gud! 😉
