Dunno why, but the 007 preview looks kinda meh. I enjoyed the old Max Payne games long ago but this looks kinda plain jane for all the advancements in tech. Maybe if it had better graphics or blood/gore, something different to showcase, but when they finally "allow" you to fire a gun the gunplay looks boring.

From that screenshot I would believe you if you said it was released in 2005.

It’s also stupid to force you into playing in the way they want rather than letting players choose.

Lords of Shadow 2 would like a word with you, to explain why sometimes you dont force stealth.

Anyone have any recommendations for a fps or tps grounded military shooter? Not a hero shooter or survival/extraction shooter?

Issues I have with BF6 are that it’s match making is broken, every time you get a full lobby (not with bots), it scatters you after each game instead of randomizing the team distribution and choosing a different map (like old BF or old school COD would do).

I’ll pick up he’ll let loose vietnam and defect when they come out in late 2026, but until then I’m wondering what else right now. Would ideally like a multiplayer to play with my brother. He lives on the opposite coast as me, and it’s a weekly game night thing to stay in touch and spend time together. We did helldivers 2 for a year, then BF6.

I think they spent more money on marketing this game than actual development.

Was this the one shown off a few years ago with the demo breaking into a mansion/party scene, scaling walls, distracting guards type thing?

My member berries had that as looking better than this one heh

It's just been nonstop ads across the internet for it and YouTube is basically spamming me with influencer videos on it the last 2 weeks no matter how many times I tell them I'm not interested.

Arc Raiders looks fun but I’m hesitant about looter shooters as I don’t want to lose all my gear every time I am killed by another player. It sounds extremely punishing. Have you played it?

I think the DEI haircuts in the game trailer give you all the information you need to know about the game. And I’m an old school bond fan, read the books, etc. I think Skyfall may be the last real Bond film we’ve had.

I think battlefield 6 is dying or has a scaling problem. I’ve put about 180 hrs into it since launch and I’ve leveled up to lvl 118. I’ve gotten to the point now where I only play against people who are level 200-350 ish in the big modes like escalation or conquest. You need 60 players to fill those maps and they are having a harder time finding equally matched people so it just consistently pairs me against absolute pro players and I suck. I’m good compared to where I was in October but I generally am not nearly as good as the players I play against now and idk. The game isn’t fun when you’re constantly paired with people who are waaaay better than you. Equally matched would be fine but i noticed it once I hit maybe level 100 or higher i kept getting paired with these god tier players. Anyone else?

SBMM is the worst in a game like BF.

Sometimes you need to be camped by the Russian side in maps like operation metro.
