Complaint 👎🤡

Hi, I’ve been watching the latest Battlefield 6 gameplay videos, and honestly what bothers me the most is how dated the graphics look. It really feels like “last-gen,” and that kills a lot of the excitement for me.

The biggest issue is that BF6 gameplay often looks almost indistinguishable from BF4, or even BF3 at times. When the community asked for a game “in the spirit of BF3 and BF4,” we weren’t asking for outdated visuals or strange filters that make everything look artificial.

Washed-out colors, odd textures… overall it just gives the impression of an old game. And when you compare it to Battlefield 1 from 2016 — which still looks graphically superior — it’s hard not to feel that something went wrong.

I get that a lot of players are just happy to have a “classic Battlefield” again, but I was expecting a real evolution in both gameplay and visuals. It feels like the dev team still struggles to understand what the community actually wants.

Take BF2042 as an example: when people complained about 128 players, it wasn’t because the player count or map size was bad — it was because the maps were shallow, empty, and poorly designed. In BF6 I’m seeing the opposite problem: small maps with all the action crammed into a single central point, when they could be larger and denser, especially considering this game is only coming to next-gen consoles and PC.

Not everything in BF2042 was a failure. Some features should have carried over into BF6, like:

The real-time attachment swap system (Plus System), which was fantastic.

128-player mode, which works great when maps are well designed.

The external jet camera by the wing, which zoomed out and gave players a cleaner view outside the HUD.

The external helicopter camera with the same zoomed-out clean view, something that added a lot to air gameplay and should’ve been brought back.

Features like these would have really elevated BF6. But based on what’s been shown so far, I can’t say I’m feeling very excited about the release.
