So...Battlefield 6. I got it. I play it all the time. It's my main game. Ive barely touched my other christmas games because BF6 is so good. It's the best battlefield since BF4. The game play is great. I can't say it's a perfect game. Some matches are insanely unbalanced, and the progression is so slow it's like watching grass grow. But all in all, solid 9/10 game.
But I'm not here to review the game, I'm here to bash the haters. I've noted this phenomenon through the BF5 and 2042 eras, but forums like reddit are overtaken by what I call the "battlefield boomers." These being the people so obsessed with the past and hating on current thing while looking at least thing through rose colored glasses, it's ridiculous. And with BF6, their big problem is "OMG THE MAPS ARE TOO SMALL, IT'S NOT REAL BATTLEFIELD, WHAAA!" The reality? Well, I'd say about half the maps ARE tight urban maps that have relatively high player density. And I admit when I participated in some play tests and the beta, I have to admit it was jarring at first, all in all, I've gotten used to it, and the game now feels pretty nice. If anything, these maps are well built. The smaller ones arent too small. They're rarely operation metro or locker style player densities. They're like small-medium type maps like we've seen in the good old days, and those maps were often the most popular. because this is gonna shock the battlefield boomers, but a lot of people *gasp* LIKE infantry focused gameplay! They dont like those massive maps where you gotta walk like 300m to the next point only to get farmed by tanks and snipers.
And it's not like larger maps dont exist. They do. There are quite large maps in this game as well. The game has something for everyone. But then these guys are like REEE BATTLEFIELD 3 and 4 were so much bigger and blah blah blah. Like...are we playing the same games? It's like they just selectively look at the maps and look at the games with nostalgia goggles.
And a constant complaint I keep hearing is we need bigger maps. And I'm gonna be the anti circlejerk here. No. No we don't. No one actually enjoys playing massive maps but snipers and vehicle drivers. Most people played small to medium sized maps. Im not saying we cant have a handful of larger maps, but to be fair, they're typically less popular.
Anyway, I hope dice learns to never ever listen to these people. They're morons and they ruin everything they touch. They're a vocal minority that hates on current thing no matter what it is and acts like similar thing from 15 years ago was so much better. I admit, I have nothing but love and respect for those 15 year old or so games these days. They're the best era of BF games. But this latest one replicated the magic and these guys are STILL complaining. Why? because much like the equivalent players in the halo community, you cant satisfy them. They're perpetually stuck in their own little golden age that only exists in their heads, and they hate on current thing no matter what. I've seen the halo community complain when they literally remastered halo 2 in a new engine with better graphics. Im serious. it's the same game, and they'll still complain because it's not the same as the 2004 one. I've seen people complain saying halo 3 on MCC is bad because it's not exactly the same as the 360 version. You can't take these people seriously. They're stuck in the past, they'll never ever be happy. Because their entire worldview is run by nostalgia. It's like the member berry thing from south park. Everything modern is bad, everything in the past was great, and you can never make them happy.
BF6 is awesome. It's the best battlefield game in a decade. I'm addicted to playing it. I love it far more than I ever did 5 and 2042. Just fix the fricking progression system to make it less oppressive. That's literally my only major complaint.
