Battlefield 6is now playable as EA and DICE prepare to avoid the messy launch that wasBattlefield 2042.
AlongsideCall of Duty, the Battlefield series is one of the premier military first-person shooters—or at least it was. The first game in the series,Battlefield 1942, was released in 2002. It was a simple but very fun and popular FPS for its time.

Over the years, this series has produced plenty of bangers, includingBattlefield 2,Battlefield: Bad Company 2,Battlefield 3, and more. Some might argue that the last decent game in the series (once it got past its launch woes) wasBattlefield4in 2013.

WhenBattlefield 2042arrived in 2021, a lot was riding on this game to bring the popular military shooter series back to form. Sadly, as we all know, that was far from the case.
Battlefield 2024launched in a buggy mess, with uninspired and barren large maps, missing basic features such as quality (practically non-existent) matchmaking, scores on the endgame matchboards, weapon customisation and much more. Oh, and its single-player campaign was ditched.
From what we hear,Battlefield 2042is in a much better state now but for many fans of the series, those fixes came way too late. So, once again, a lot will be riding onBattlefield 6to be the game that becomes DICE’s version of a phoenix rising from the ashes.

It’s been claimed that when it concernsBattlefield 6, EA and DICE are taking the “player first” approach, which really should be a given but unfortunately, it seems that in-game purchases are often the focus strategy for modern AAA games.
The report also says thatBattlefield 6will scale things down to divert focus on a fun player experience rather than just making large maps for the sake of it, as seen inBattlefield 2042.
Battlefield 2042has a maximum player count of 128, on paper that sounds great but if not regulated, it can result in utter chaos and not of the fun variety, especially with poor map design. Instead, it seems thatBattlefield 6will have 64-player battles, four classes and improved destruction.
While this all sounds great and believable, we should still take unconfirmed reports with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise. I hope thatBattlefield 6is a return to form for the series but I won’t be counting my chickens before they hatch.
