“Destruction is back on the menu”
What do players say about Battlefield 6? On Reddit, many fans are currently sharing their thoughts about the new installment of the shooter series. Many are pleased that there will be “real” classes again. Especially the game mechanics allowing players to destroy buildings and structures are well-received by players:
- Westo6Besto9: “Damn, their trailers always hit the mark. Being able to break through the floor with a sledgehammer looks damn cool.”
- spartyftw: “Destruction is back on the menu.”
- literallyacactus: “The destruction looks exactly like I always wanted it to look.”
In another post on Reddit, the user makz242 writes: “Old classes. I just looked at the interface – WEAPON STATS! Everything looks great. The game feels like what [Battlefield] 2042 should have been!” And Bigd1979666 adds: “I feel the same. The gameplay looks just fantastic and gives me real nostalgia.”
The user Dependent-Guitar-473 writes on Reddit: “Bro … I nearly burnt my food, I just couldn’t look away.”
What concerns do players have? Besides the hype, players also express concerns about Battlefield 6. There are frequent reminders not to pre-order the game. One does not know what the gameplay will ultimately look like and how close the trailers are to the original. Many recall Battlefield 2042, which had a rough start and couldn’t really recover.
The user DhruvM praises on Reddit the destruction mechanics shown in the trailers, but also has concerns. He hopes that more classic maps will return. Seeing dragging corpses and crawling backward from an older Battlefield game would be cool. Battlefield 6 seems dark and grounded. However, he hopes that this energy will be maintained – “without silly operators, no flashy skins and over-the-top adrenaline gameplay style with limited weapon classes. Then we could actually get a strong game,” he writes.
