The importance of a creative pivot cannot be understated after the critical flounder that was Battlefield 2042. Although achieving impressive sales numbers, sentiment was mixed with players citing issues with the map design, interactivity, glitches, and class system. Battlefield 6 would appear at first glance to be an ointment; a tonic of core pillars that harkens back to Battlefield’s 3 and 4 while pushing forward for this current gen. Some healthy scepticism around EA’s expectations for player numbers notwithstanding, this week’s open Beta has blown the breaching charge on what you can expect.
