r/Battlefield6

When you are flying the attack helicopter and you're being shot at by guns, you receive literally more flinch than if you were sniping and being shot at by the same guns. I just noticed this today, and thought I would share so you have an idea of just how poorly balanced this game is in it's current state.

The biggest thing I hate about Battlefield 6 and the franchise is that they constantly want to reinvent the wheel, and it really annoys me in literally every Battlefield game.

The best and most recent example is gunplay and bloom in Battlefield 6. During the beta, there was so much positive feedback about the gunplay and bloom, and then they started adjusting it like almost every week or so. They constantly changing it back and forth. First more bloom, then suddenly less bloom again.

And the thing is, they already solved it in many previous Battlefield games and the community was happy. Why start from scratch again?

The best thing they could do is to take inspiration from previous games, import the best things from back then and then refine the details with the new titles like Battlefield 6, but keep focusing on new features, a bigger sandbox, more gameplay depth and more innovation, instead of constantly changing the same thing back and forth for almost a year. The game has felt stuck to me since the beta, it feels like it's not making any progress.

While they keep making such strange decisions, so many great things that used to make Battlefield really great are missing, and there are so many lost features that they should just import on which they could build.

In my opinion, the game just lacks so much depth. Vehicles for example feel extremely linear and superficial to play, as there aren’t that many loudouts compared to Battlefield 4. It's no longer possible to find your own truly and unique playstyle in the sandbox with them. It’s just the same every game, it’s even worse with jets as they don’t have a loadout at all.

Battlefield 6 is the first I’ve played in the franchise, and have really enjoyed the experience so far. I have about 300 hours of gameplay thus far, and consider myself a casual player. I am a PS5 player.

However, with the devs updating the gunplay/gameplay every few weeks, it feels difficult to build that muscle memory or build upon existing skill. Feels like every week, some major changes have been made and the game feels quite different. Awesome to see updates regularly, just frustrating when it feels like a whole new game every other week.

Have past Battlefield titles had this same level of gameplay changing so often? And can these kinds of game-changing updates be expected for the duration of the games lifespan? I can acknowledge that this game is still in its first year since, but just hoping to manage expectations moving forward, as I really enjoy this game.

Cheers,

Time and time again I play a match of escalation where gun play seems super easy im winning most gun fights, lots of shots hitting there target and enemy are dropping quick. Then my team goes 2 up and now I'm having to dump a lot of rounds into people im struggling to win fights even when I shoot first and half the time its like my shots don't register. Either I get games like this or the opposite where once my team go 2 down now I'm some sort of unstoppable machine.

I can’t pinpoint when this started, but literally every single match is completely one sided one way or the other. It’s not an exaggeration.

I want to like this game, I have 140 hours in it and genuinely enjoy it despite its faults. Im not trying to nitpick or insufferably complain, but it is maddening how imbalanced things are right now.

It’s every single game to the point where it feels intentional. Is there something I’m missing or are the Saudi’s reading some algorithm that tells them a 50/50 W/L ration helps retain and grow their 35k player base on steam?

It’s all so tiresome.
