EA’s latest military shooter series installment, Battlefield 6, is aiming to satiate fans’ cravings for a direct sequel to Battlefield 4. After a rocky start with Battlefield 2042, the new game takes a step back in time, revisiting the clock by 12 years and embracing classic modes from its third and fourth mainline entries.
My four-hour session with the multiplayer mode showcased the familiar gameplay and action movie feel that fans have long yearned for. The class system has been tweaked to include an open weapon policy, allowing players more freedom in their playstyle. The game’s destruction feature, dubbed “Tactical Destruction,” aims to provide a more tactical experience, but its execution feels like a light tune-up compared to previous games.
Battlefield 6’s trajectory is predictable, with little surprising the player during my session. The action felt familiar, and while some may find it a bit too easy, that could be exactly what the struggling series needs: an easy reset built to win back its core audience’s good will.
Ultimately, Battlefield 6 feels like a return to form for the series, one that promises to deliver a reliable crowd-pleaser with strong word of mouth. The question remains whether this safe retread will be enough to attract new players or total newcomers, but for now, it seems that EA has struck gold with its nostalgic reboot.
