However, with rumors suggesting the Battlelog could be returning in Battlefield 6 , DICE may have realized how useful the feature was — and how integral it was for the game experience. Aside from players using the website for team ups, clan building, and discussion of the game, being able to track progress via Battlelog was an excellent tool for dedicated fans. Players could see leaderboards for several categories, how they were performing with each weapon/class, and much more. With Call of Duty: Warzone fans seeking unofficial third party stat trackers , there is clearly interest in a Battlelog-like system. DICE has the perfect chance to bring it back for Battlefie
Another standout map called Damavand Peak saw players leaping from a massive mountain halfway through the match, with attackers and defenders parachuting down as helicopters followed. Without the old Rush flow, newer maps lack these special, cinematic moments, making Battlefield 6 's possible return to this style very promis
A piece of somewhat troubling news regarding Battlefield 6 ** development has surfaced, as DICE is officially getting help from Need for Speed ** ’s studio Criterion to finish the game. It is quite understandable that EA would want extra help on the development of one of its flagship games. In the past, EA has called the upcoming Battlefield title the biggest game in the history of the franch
Not only is Battlefield 6 supposedly taking place in World War 3 , a fictional conflict that was already covered heavily inside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 , but it is also pulling the naming convention from 2019’s Modern Warfare reboot. Infinity Ward’s return to the successful Call of Duty subseries saw them dropping the numbers that came after each Modern Warfare , which made sense because of how the new story was not connected in any way. While just calling the game Modern Warfare may cause some issues with naming its eventual sequel, for this specific reboot, it made sense. It indicated a new tone and a fresh start, and Battlefield copying this style may indicate that EA and DICE are attempting to do the s
While these failed modes show that players may want Battlefield to stay as is in terms of size and scale, 128 players could have another negative impact on the game. While DICE having ambitious ideas for Battlefield 6 like this player count, the launch of Battlefield 4 was plagued by issues caused by the studio taking on too much. A cross-generational release with bold ideas like Levelution, the game suffered from an abundance of bugs and crashes on launch. A focus on huge new features as opposed to basic mechanics proved devastating as well, with the game’s poor netcode seeing players dying seconds after they got behind cover. Though patches eventually fixed Battlefield 4 , its rough launch ensured it never surpassed Battlefield 3 in the eyes of fans — and it is entirely possible that a sudden jump to 128 players causes stability issues for Battlefield 6 if DICE is not care
