My thoughts on how to make BF6 better

Played every battlefield game since BF BC1.

Ive seen it evolve and change and grow.

always played BF games.

some of them were better than others.

i piled 2500 hours into 2042. Mostly in portal coding and creating servers. 2042 didn’t hit the mark for a few reasons. Bad colour palette, empty maps, specialists.

but it works. Portal runs smoothly, fun mechanics are good, scopes, attachments, plus system, UI, settings, HUD customisation, all of it. It works.

The honeymoon period for BF6 has worn off. They marketed the game, wooed the fans and the investors got paid.

BF6 has the following issues:

Appalling UI. The home screen and menu navigation is awful. I’m told it’s a copy and paste of cod.

the settings screens are the worst I’ve ever seen in a BF game. Settings in the wrong places. Setting duplicates in various settings screens. Settings have hardly any explanation or descriptions. Even a spelling mistake in the campaign section.

lack of HUD customisation.

loadouts not saving - and even changing completely!

portal is catastrophically bad. 2042 portal beats BF6 portal hands down. Can’t host servers. Custom mode templates are gone. Forced to code a custom experience from the ground up. Literally. Have to code the lot. Even the score board. This wil drive people AWAY from portal.

missing portal settings. As in a HELL of a lot of them.

joining up with friends is made harder. Not at all intuitive or easy.

EA Connect. Who the hell asked for this? I don’t want to be lured into EA’s social ecosystem. Don’t use it and never will. They’re trying to coax everyone into using it.

BF6 is basically COD. It stinks of cod. It’s run and gun bull**bleep**. 

hit reg is way off.

TTD is so bad I can’t even find the words. They said they fixed it. Nope. You get hit with a bunch of bullets all at once and you’re dead. No time to react, take cover or return fire. It’s dreadful.

maps are surely small. They clearly want this game to appeal to cod. No strategy, no methodology, not tact, no planning, no time to breathe. Just run and gun. Spawn kill die. Spawn kill die. 
who the hell likes the feel of this game? Because it sure as hell isn’t the battlefield fans that know battlefield for what it was.

it’s been a week and I have already had enough of it. 1 week, 50 odd hours, rank 55. And I’ve had enough.

the maps are tiny. Where’s the large scale Warefare?

The PSR rifle is for “extreme ranges” dice says. Ok. The description of the rifle says it’s most effective at…. Wait for it…. 75-150 metres. Wow. Some real extremes ranges there. Anyone remember some of the maps in BF4. THAT was extreme ranges.

i knew from the beta that the maps were going to disappoint. Everyone was cheering. Woooow, look at the maps. Mirak valley is going to be massive! I knew what was coming. Still feel massive to any of you?

I’ve never had enough of a battlefield so early on in its life. 1 week and I’ve had enough.

it’s not battlefield. It’s cod. People should put the rose tinted glasses down and see it for what it is.

it looks lovely. Destruction is great. Sound is great. But that doesn’t make the game great.

the direction they’ve taken BF6 into is the direction of cod.

I am so disappointed with this game. I can’t believe how much doesn’t work.

and for portal, jeez. I played 2042 for 2500 hours BECAUSE of portal. And what did they do with BF6 portal? They went backwards.

less functionality. Awful server hosting. Less settings. No custom templates to use. What. The. HELL did they do.

i can see myself shelving this game very soon.

sorry to have to share this but it has to be said.

BF6 has failed thus far. Failed to be battlefield.

its that bad.
