Hi, I really have tried to get through the BF6 campaign, but I can no longer continue after the Cairo mission. If I ever do continue, I'm gonna have to be really drunk.

There are hundreds, possibly thousands of scripting issues, bugs, animation issues, poor enemy AI design, dialogue issues.

The mission in Cairo was the last one I could do. After we took a dude's thumb and escaped a Chopper with the Burn Notice dude, they were talking about the thumb in some CIA lady's house and I just could no longer continue.

I think the worst thing along with everything I mentioned is the enemy AI designs. They just fucking run at you, stand straight up, and mag dump. Zero thoughts or tactics to engage me.

Even MW2007 had fantastic AI designs. Even Black Slops 7 had good AI pathing and combat, despite the slop writing.

I mostly love the game otherwise, thanks for reading.

Animation critiques:

- Vaulting animations are too instant and snappy

- No grenade pin pull animations

- Janky reload animations (L85, M27, AEK)

- Sprint animations for LMGs, snipers, and DMRs are clearly not finished compared to the smoother AR, carbine, SMG running animations.

- Heavy weapon (LMG, DMR, sniper) running animations are janky and unsatisfying, they appear to be in reverse and missing transition animations

- Swapping from a secondary to a primary is instant and has no animation (but swapping to secondary has a smooth transition)

- Hands not gripping weapons or grips properly (M16)

- Hands teleport back to grips when reloading and sprinting

- Intro animations are all janky or bugged. Most intro animations have some sort of jank like clipping, bouncing, and twitchy jank. They are also very awkward.

- Lack of spotting animations

- Traversing any small object at all moves your viewmodel erratically and needs smoothening.

- When prone, equipping a primary weapon, and moving forward the 1p hand rig instantly snaps back to the weapon in 1 frame once you stop moving forward and it looks very awkward.

BF seriously needs to improve their animation designs and understand transitions and bodily kinetics more. I am quite disappointed by the animation quality. It feels JANKY to play this game because of the animation issues. Especially after playing MW2019, Apex Legends, Titanfall 2, Overwatch, etc. That being said, I do love BF6!

To not be a complete debbie downer, here's things I like:

- High object vaulting (the high wall vault animation is quite nice)

- Prone on back (supine) animations are lovely

- 3p animations are beautiful

- Many weapons have great reload animations such as the M4A1, G3, M16, SCAR, M433

- Running animations for ARs, SMGs, carbines, and pistols are quite nice.
