As for the positive feedback, many testers are thrilled with the multiplayer. The site Critical Hits states that Battlefield 6 is returning to its roots. The game creates the same “WOW” effect as back in the days of Battlefield 4 when skyscrapers collapsed.
Dexerto also believes that Battlefield 6 has brought the shooter series back on track. The developers have rediscovered how to create a solid Battlefield. According to the tester, the campaign is short but exciting.
TheGamer must admit that Battlefield 6 is the first blockbuster shooter in a long time that brings excitement again. It was fun to get to know the maps and weapons, and there is anticipation to find out what DICE has planned after the release.
Is there anything to criticize? For the tester from Hey Poor Player, Battlefield 6 is good, but the campaign ends just when it gains real momentum. Additionally, the shooter does not take new directions, which is unfortunate.
Gamekult also misses innovations in Battlefield 6. The campaign feels like DICE is trying to copy Call of Duty, which the tester does not quite like.
Quick overview – What is Battlefield 6? With Battlefield 6, DICE aims to regain the trust of its fans. Its predecessor took a wrong turn that many fans condemned, but with Battlefield 6, the situation looks better.
The shooter returns to the origins of the series and brings back the classes. The maps are varied and immersive, and the gameplay has already captivated many during the beta.
In Battlefield, everything revolves around destruction and tactical teamwork, but with the revamped portal system, fans now have the chance to create even the craziest modes.
