BF6: It's a War Game (possible cheating solution and/or game additions)
I'm still unsatisfied with how BF6 plays despite technical updates. Players don't play Battlefield in BF6 - they camp, don't PTFO, don't cap, don't push, don't heal/supply, snipe with a tank, etc. - NOT BATTLEFIELD. Each match is torture for me I just wish the match would end sooner (losing to wallhackers, aimbots, superspeed, and supermen on the Asian servers!)
It may sound crazy but hear me out. BF is clearly a WAR game. As we know, nobody plays fair in a war, soldiers do dirty tactics, and anybody in a war will find absolutely every last possible way to have an "edge" over the enemy - be it that through conventional means or otherwise, underhanded (cheating) ways. No Geneva Convention here, it's just all paper.
The current lack of game mechanics in BF6 to gain an "edge" over the enemy draws players into finding creative solutions (cheat/hacks) to satisfy their need for an advantage in a match. This is more psychological than practical in most situations.
Thus, I propose the following additions:
- POWER-UP KITS obtained at strategic places or times in a match (a modern equivalent of the Flame Kit, MG Kit or Infiltrator Kit in BF1, given to the losing team)
- An A-10 Strafe Run, Special Vehicle Drop, BOMBARDMENT, or Tomahawk Missile / Air Strike call-in earned by the squad through game actions (like in Delta Force) or by capture of a specific area (like in BF4)
- COMMANDER MODE - one can destroy Missile Batteries or Comm Towers (BF2) to blind enemy forces or disable other resources like recon equipment, drops, supplies, vehicles, etc. essential to the battle.
- SUPER SPEED, INVINCIBILITY, DEADSHOT, SUPER-HEARING (wallhack), BLOODLUST, etc. - of course, temporary. These abilities can be triggered by game events like the loss of a squadmate, killstreaks, or when cornered or losing. Call these altered temporary states, "Fighting Spirit", "Cornered Animal", "Bloodlust", "Vengeance Mode", "ENHANCED REPAIR" or whatever. I think that would be cool and quite realistic.
- BEHEMOTHS appearing for the losing team. BF1 still rules.
At the end of the day, many of these unconventional "players" (cheaters) will want an edge in battle. It's like a safety blanket. Lets give something to the dirty players who call everyone a "N00b" so they can get comfy with their shiny-new baby bottle and have something to brag about. Whaaa.
