Re: BF6 Practice Range

@NetRngr Good to see you NetRngr!

I'm not opposed to a BF single player in theory but BF is, at its heart, a MP game and with limited resources at its disposal it really needs to put all of its focus into refining that core experience. This franchise has soooo much potential but it feels too often like with every new release all the previous knowledge and experience gained is wiped and they're starting from a blank slate. DICE should be REALLY good at making BF's now but BFV's launch proved right everyone who feared that doing a Battle Royale mode would spread them too thin and leave the core experience neglected. They need to build taller not wider and since rumor has it that BR will be coming back something had to give and it looks like SP may have been that sacrifice. Who knows, maybe they'll finally get on board with my idea of replacing SP with a boot camp like experience where you have a really entertaining Drill Instructor yelling at you and teaching you how the game mechanics work.

On the topic of servers I agree that those clan servers really brought some atmosphere to the game. Not always a good one of course, but enough were. And as long as there was a healthy amount of official servers to choose from I think we had the best of both worlds. I suspect Community Servers are here to stay though both for cost and security reasons. Hopefully they can expand upon the BFV model and make them more clan friendly.

Coming off the failure of BFV and with a dev cycle impacted by Covid my expectations could hardly be lower though. Then again maybe some of the talent leaving for competitors is a good thing. After all, it may be better to have someone with a less prestigious resume but more drive than someone with proven talent but who does little more than the bare minimum because they don't have the passion for the project and/or don't feel like they are being properly compensated.
