Battlefield 5 had a lot of marketing hype on the way to its release, but quickly found itself under pressure from fans due to the live service approach being the source of many complaints. Over time the game struggled for a number of different circumstances, while games like Modern Warfare mostly saw praise. Even though Modern Warfare had its own share of problems, the game was very successful and is still riding great momentum. Battlefield 6 may need to make some serious adjustments if the series is to mount a comeb
In order to stand up to Call of Duty , Battlefield 6 will have to take full advantage of next generation hardware for graphics and effects, amp up its sense of scale and action, revolutionize its own formula to blow Ground War out of the water, and offer a battle royale mode that applies the signature Battlefield flair to the most popular new genre of multiplayer shooter. The sense of scale should not be an issue- Battlefield has always excelled at making each individual player feel small in comparison to the planes roaring overhead, the explosions rocking the earth, and the hail of bullets whizzing past during each mad dash and brief, heroic moment. However, two main features will determine how much that matters in the face of CoD 's overwhelming popularity: an engaging and enduring setting, and innovation in signature game mechan
For the better part of the last decade, the Battlefield series was the popular place to go for large-scale online multiplayer in the FPS space, offering players the opportunity to shoot it out on large maps in 64-player matches. That number’s almost quaint nowadays in the age of battle royale shooters that can support up to 200 players per match , but if the latest from the rumor mill is to be believed, it’s going to be bumped up considerably for the upcoming Battlefield
The best way for Battlefield 6 to make itself feel truly next generation will be environmental destruction. Environmental destruction in multiplayer games is not totally new, but it has always been a double edged sword. It creates a sense of realism, immersion, and tactical fluidity, but typically suffers from buginess , inconsistent implementation, and can often be exploited in game-breaking ways. If Battlefield 6 can get anywhere close to perfecting environmental destruction on a large scale, it will instantly set itself apart from the herd. Buildable defenses, crumbling buildings, and artillery craters all worked well in Battlefield V , but taking that design element to the next level is a m
Even if Battlefield 5 as a whole lost steam pretty quickly, Firestorm became twice as irrelevant regardless. While Firestorm did receive some initial praise critically, future updates didn't make any significant changes to the battle royale's balance or content. Generally the opinion of Battlefield fans was that they honestly just didn't want a battle royale from Battlefield 5 , and none of the loot or the mechanics helped sway that opinion. The worst was when Battlefield 5 updated the time-t0-kill across all multiplayer modes , which apparently was never properly implemented in Firestorm. With the increased health and rebalanced weapon stats for multiplayer, the changes spilled into Firestorm presumably without testing. Players nearly became impossible to kill with Firestorm's different health stats compared to regular multipla
That’s where Twitter user and frequent source of gaming leaks Tom Henderson comes in. This morning, Henderson offered tidbits of what DICE has in store for Battlefield 6 and the scale of its gameplay. Starting off, he claimed that while the core multiplayer is being designed around the classic 32-vs-32 player setup, the game will be able to support a lot more than that, with maps that "have been designed with 128+ players in mi
The Battlefield franchise has been dormant for some time, with Battlefield 5 ’s release back in November 2018 being the last new entry in the series. EA has finally revealed when the next Battlefield game will be arriving, though for fans anxious for more Battlefield 2042 Guide|Https://Battlefield2042Hq.Com/ action, it seems like the wait will go on for a good bit lon
With a potential release window highlighted and another insider doubling down on the previous claims that said the game is looking good, the only question remaining is why exactly the two insiders disagreed on if fan approval of Battlefield 6 ’s direction. While this is purely speculation, it could very well have to do with the game’s setting. Perhaps Battlefield is returning to the modern era just like the Battlefield 6 teaser hoax implied, leaving fans of the newer Battlefield titles and their World War settings disappoin
Reliable Call of Duty leaker Tom Henderson recently tweeted out a response to another leaker named Anton Logvinov. The Russia-based insider, while echoing claims that the game is running well, claimed that the game is something fans will not want. Henderson describes himself as a "long time fan of the Battlefield franchise" and says that he does "believe it’s what fans want," so it will be interesting to see which leaker is ultimately correct regarding Battlefield
