If they can pull it off fully then BF6 will be utterly fantastic, most of what's being said about the game right now is incredibly interesting. Especially Levolution, the 128+ player battles and the Units idea. My only real hope is that if crossplay is included it's possible to opt-out or at least have it so console players don't need to play with PC players. Got nothing against PC players at all (am too old and tired for platform snobbery) but I do have concerns about how balanced it would be (E.G. input method, FPS etc) and worries about people not adhering to the ToS.

@Player55 I wouldn't read into it that much. 😃This is just the general discussion board for the Battlefield series at large. It doesn't specifically relate to any particular games in the series. /Kent

@ElliotLH I am so crossing my fingers for this release to be spectacular.Both for selfish reasons, because obviously I’d love to play a great BF6, but also because it will be a good thing for all the hardworking folks at DICE/EA/Criterion etc.Sure, a lot of the criticism of BFV was warranted, but these guys are also just humans. It must have been a terrible and stressful period to go through.June 9, let’s go!

I just can't wait for this game's reveal trailer! I'm so curious for what's in store for us from the trailer on Wednesday!I played Battlefield 4 when I was younger and I loved it so much despite having played on a cheap laptop with low resolutions. Nowadays, I play on PC with max resolutions and it's still fun and much better than on my old laptop these days.Hopefully, DICE will go back to Battlefront II or make a Battlefront III after they're done developing and releasing this game on the market since I'm mostly a Star Wars fan but also a Battlefield player.

also It should added a Community Servers I enjoyed that but not getting kicked by a hacker off the game.I also Heard that Battlelog might in the works for BF6 i hope that will continue as well
i usally stay on the sidelines but this time EA we The Players would a little more give in how BF6 should Be played what do i mean? if someone in the treads could start a request of all the features the Next Battlefield game should look like or at least float some ideas around I been playing Battlefield since 2002 so maybe bring back the ziplines from Battlefield 2 and stuff like that
that would make the game more ejoyable EA you could add some items from Battlefield 2,3,and 4 into the new game Battlefield 6
Its just my thought
thank you.

@Jassy0989 Good ideas and thoughts, I suspect we will hear a lot more in the coming months as info slowly leaks out. I don’t see many if any official words until at least the reveal.

@ElliotLH I’m hoping it will be epic, they do need to recover a fair bit from BFV.

As far as cross play goes I think it will be fine, CoD:Warzone works great with cross play so I have no doubts, it’s a feature I’m actually looking forward to. I know on the Xbox you can also turn off cross play completely so there is that.
In terms of FPS the new consoles are rock solid, they’re beasts this time around so performance issues shouldn’t be an issue. My only concern would be last gen consoles, they could suffer quite a bit.

@CarbonCarl , anything about a potential "instant action" Battlefield game mode like Battlefront II where you can play against bots? It would be amazing for it to be included for Battlefield 6 and to make it a return from Battlefield 2142 as well as split screen offline and online for multiplayer.

@Player55

No news on any game modes as of yet, but I would says it’s unlikely for any kind of bot mode if they have a battle royale as part of the game. I feel they will heavily focus on that like Activision have with the CoD franchise.

But who knows, anything could be in the works right now.

Update: Dice LA are working on Battlefield, this is unconfirmed if it is BF6 or not but I’ll add it here anyway.

Rumors are this could be Battlefield Heroes 2 as they are bringing the ‘crazy’.

It might be the Warzone version of Battlefield in development. If not, then it's probably a remaster of a Battlefield game. Who knows...

Latest rumor is a reveal date on March 23rd, I'm not going to add this to the list as it really doesn't hold much weight right now, but it might be worth noting.
