Well, I have played BF 1942, 2, 3, 4, 1, V, 2042 and Bad Companies, so I guess that makes me a "veteran" by this definition. And I have to concur with AchillezBF and Ghostflux in regard of TTK, as I also didn't perceive it significantly different from other BF titles in the BF6 beta. ;)
Fair enough if you’ve played all of those titles, then you definitely qualify as a veteran too. But that only reinforces my point: veterans can disagree on how Battlefield 6 feels compared to its predecessors. Some notice the difference immediately, others don’t.
The point isn’t to count how many Battlefield games someone has played it’s to acknowledge that when a significant portion of long term players independently describe the same “spongy” feeling, that feedback is worth serious attention. The devs can’t just dismiss that as subjective noise.
Battlefield has always lived or died by its gunplay identity. If part of the community is saying BF6 gunfights feel closer to COD than Battlefield, that’s not a minor disagreement that’s a red flag about the direction of the franchise. Highlight reels and “it feels fine to me” won’t erase that perception.
At the end of the day, the debate isn’t about who is more veteran it’s about whether Battlefield keeps the identity that made it unique in the first place.
