Battlefield 6

paid $16 at launch for a month of EA Pro
played battlefield for 20 hours over 1 month
had a great time
uninstalled game
never thought about the game again

probably the best thing I can say about the new map is that it's new.
It's very meh and unremarkable. Nothing too wrong with it but utterly forgettable and unlikely the challenge the great BF maps we all remember.

It does highlight how much shitter they have become at running a live service type setup. the map and season 2 are so bland compared to any of the pre 2042 battlefield games. I seriously don't understand how they can be so consistantly worse game after game.

Honestly, maybe im just a pussy, but Casual Breakthrough saved this game for me. The prevalence of cheaters has effectively ruined the game, and the large map 64 player modes are just too hectic and chaotic to be able to unlock or level any guns/attachments given how slow the progression is and how much time you spend dead/waiting to spawn. I have only encountered a handful of cheaters in casual breakthrough, and games are much easier to manage in terms of actually being able to get some gunplay in and have proper firefights without just getting headshotted from across the map or blown up by a vehicle. You can have success in the main large map based modes but they are very specific in scope, like getting lucky and spawning in a jet, and actually being able to fly the jet and put in work with it (or a tank).

I am still playing here and there because its still somewhat fun, but overall I just feel like this game has been a failure.

The grind to play the way I want to play is what kills it for me. Let me spend 20 matches unlocking stuff for a weapon I am not even sure I like long term. Dumbest shit ever.
