I feel so alone for loving this game so much.

You're not the only one loving this game, don't worry. I love it, and I consider it to be my favourite multiplayer FPS.

But even with this appreciation, I cannot deny there are issues. There are bugs, there are terrible design choices, etc.

To me, BF6 is a 7/10. But it can reach a 9 or even 10/10. Most BF games released in terrible states, and then got better with time, because players complained, reported bugs and gave it tough love. BF4, which is regarded as one of the best in the franchise released as a buggy piece of trash, and now it has reached a high place in the fans' hearts.

Not every person is expressing themselves very courteously in that matter, but overall, the game is loved. People are taking matters very seriously with this game, because it has a high potential. Steam reviews dropped to "Mixed" when season 1 released, due to the hyper-focus on the BR. If developpers are smart and course correct, players will revert their negative votes. Players want to get developpers' attention. So they do it in their own way.

Trust me. If players and fans hated the game, concurrent player count would not be that high, and this forum would be pretty much dead.

It's not a bad game, considered alone. The massive disappointment for most Battlefield franchise fans is it is not good compared to BF1, BF4, BF3 or even BF5. It's an improved BF2042 and that isn't a good thing.

They have allowed the BS from BR to taint it. They have allowed EA corporate greed and the desire to grab market share and make it comfy for CoD deserters to taint it.

As for Javelin: An intrusive vulnerability for users and it doesn't stop cheaters/hackers. They are still around and EA is not doing all they can to stop them. No law suits for cheat sellers (other companies do). No reporting to the IRS or whatever other authority. They got the good press from the initial marketing BS and they don't want the hassle and expense of following through.

Good for you if you're enjoying it. I've put 250 hours into it now. I have a lot of gaming time these days and a good tolerance for grind and problems. I'm also a very long-time gaming enthusiast.

Unfortunately the more I play the more problems make themselves obvious that I cannot overlook and don't believe EA/DICE have the ability or desire to fix/change. The more I play the more I grind my teeth.

• No crossplay options for PC players. Inadequate options for console
• Brightness and over-exposure is painful (literally) even after 'fixes'
• Recoil for some weapons (SMGs) still ridiculously low after 'fixes'
• Team balancing often bad even though we have the criticised per game lobby refresh
• Map balancing often bad even after 'fixes'. Some games see one side with 1 tank and another with 4
• The party system is still limited and buggy after 10+ years
• Front-end UI is horrible
• Game choice systems are over-simplistic, badly design and buggy
• Lobby system still puts you in repeat maps and attack/defence cycles. No smarts at all
• Settings UI is horrible
• Spawn screen is clunky and buggy and obviously console biased
• TTK-TTD desync is still bad after initial fixes
• Several other gunplay issues like client verified bullets being discarded by the server
• HUD is minimal and not as good as previous versions. Even BF2042 had more and better features
• Loads of challenges are broken and there is massive variation in difficulty
• Progression locks noobs and casuals out of important class tools and huge attachment  power leaps
• Exploits, but also 'legit' gadgets like ladders are leading to horrible unbalancing gameplay like roof camping
• Skins are already (with Phantom skins) leading to confusion, wasting ammo and giving away position firing on friendlies and they are set to get worse
• Vehicles are horrible to pilot/drive for most, though when a hardened fan masters it they are near unkillable

I could go on and on but I've probably made my point. It's painful and, for a franchise fan of 23 years and after BF5 and BF2042 and promises of 'return to form' and 'grounded in realism' it's yet another crushing disappointment.

I'm only playing it because my Friday night regular crew insisted they, after 10 years of BF1, really wanted to try it.

If I'm honest I actually held some hope, too, after the beta. There were many issues, but I could see how they could be fixed/improved and EA/DICE were 'making the right noises'.

I should have know better. EA are a greedy corp who have proved time and again they cannot be trusted and DICE don't seem like they play Battlefield at all. The head honcho is a CoD guy... I should have known better...

ppls who like it play it, they don't sit all day on forums complaining about dumb things like no XP vs boots , everyone who is better then me must be cheating , game too fast , and similar ridicules things.  

Not coming to a forum is hardly an indicator of 'liking' a game.

It takes a little care and a little effort to be bothered to complain and most people can't be bothered and don't care enough about anything much, never mind a game.

Most 'gamers' these days aren't fans or enthusiasts, they are just 'consumers' like in any other industry.

The greedy corps rely on modern consumers just taking what they are given and moving on when they are bored.

I see so much negativity everyday, I don’t understand

Hear me when I say this, most people love the foundation of Battlefield 6 but there's issues which simply can't be ignored after playing many many hours such as the matchmaker not working properly, bot backfill being broken in CQC modes, bugs that completely destroy air vehicle balance, snipers instantly zeroing across vast distances, SMGs having more accuracy that ARs across range, people getting on inaccessible roofs. And last but not least, bot XP being tampered with and reduced whilst the challenges haven't been addressed for being obscenely difficult and almost impossible to do. The UI is clunky and janky, like something straight out of HULU, the same applies to the Portal server browser.

I hope this helps you understand.

People like the game but half of these bugs, especially the matchmaker bugs didn't exist at launch but here we are.

If anything, be glad people are negative because it will inevitably lead to a better Battlefield 6.

The recon drone, ladder, and portable cover exploits, really need fixed. Agree 100%, I do see your point. Even with the flaws mentioned I absolutely love this game, and I believe you are right, it will get better.

Battlefield I guess just got me emotionally invested from the moment I played bad company 2. I do agree like legit fans have become more of a rare thing these days. Yes, it does take effort and care to voice criticism or complaints. I use that same effort to praise a Battlefield game being this good again. I want to believe EA, Dice, and everyone behind the scenes on this project know they made something special and will take the time to iron out the few kinks.

I don’t disagree with you. I just love the game, if the issues you addressed were fixed, I would love it that much more.

For sure. 

Same dude havent had this much fun in a shooter since BF1 and im absolutely no hype man if something is broken I acknowledge that but the problems BF6 have are so unimportant for me right now, it works, i love it, i can play any day any mode flawlessly, no bugs in core gameplay only like UI stuff which I found a work around very quick, no cheaters, no **bleep** pay to win **bleep**, already new stuff 2 weeks into the game.

Its super solid and I have a feeling these reddits and forums make like 1% of the actual playerbase. You see the numbers, if its a bad game they wouldnt be that high.

Game is good, Devs hear not enough praise in this pile of hatred.

(drone abuse annoys me a little bit but i dont care the maps are large enough to skip them)
