The best way for Battlefield 2042 Patch Notes 6 to make itself feel truly next generation will be environmental destruction. Environmental destruction in multiplayer games is not totally new, but it has always been a double edged sword. It creates a sense of realism, immersion, and tactical fluidity, but typically suffers from buginess , inconsistent implementation, and can often be exploited in game-breaking ways. If Battlefield 6 can get anywhere close to perfecting environmental destruction on a large scale, it will instantly set itself apart from the herd. Buildable defenses, crumbling buildings, and artillery craters all worked well in Battlefield V , but taking that design element to the next level is a m

There are some key aspects throughout Battlefield 's history that have contributed to the franchise becoming a bit mediocre. Defining features like destruction are no longer emphasized in a functional manner, while single-player is consistently forced into the experience, despite often being an afterthought for players who love Battlefield 's signature multiplayer. Battlefield is having an identity crisis, one that's not easily solved. Battlefield needs to hone in on what made the series so special in the first place and emphasize t

That’s where Twitter user and frequent source of gaming leaks Tom Henderson comes in. This morning, Henderson offered tidbits of what DICE has in store for Battlefield 6 and the scale of its gameplay. Starting off, he claimed that while the core multiplayer is being designed around the classic 32-vs-32 player setup, the game will be able to support a lot more than that, with maps that "have been designed with 128+ players in mi

Used to be that Battlefield was further ahead of the game in terms of weapon and equipment customization than Call of Duty was. Back when the game came out, Battlefield 3 introduced a weapon customization system that wasn't constrained to this one attachment, one playstyle method that Call of Duty swore by. Battlefield 3 allowed three particular customizations for most primary weapons in the game: sights/scopes, barrel types like silencers, and under-barrel attachments like grips or launchers. The game also allowed more flexibility in primary weapon choice, instead of Assault classes exclusively using assault rifles or Support classes only using light machine g

Battlefield 5 , the most recent release in the Battlefield franchise, is ending support this June, with Battlefield 6 confirmed to be on the way. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have recently revisited World War 2 as a return to each franchise's roots. Now it seems Call of Duty 's annual releases are shifting back to modern and futuristic battlefields. Either EA's first-person shooter will follow suit, or the franchise could once again carve its own p

The announcement of Battlefield 6 's launch in 2021 has many fans' hopes up about the next title in the series. Battlefield 6 will be launching on next-gen consoles , but that is about all the information anyone has on the much-awaited followup to one of the most innovative and consistently high-quality shooter franchises on the market. Next generation technology will of course make the game look great and run fantastically, but beyond the objective quality of the game, Battlefield 6 will have to be a landmark title to make any impact in the current multiplayer FPS landsc

Fans were recently fooled by Battlefield 6 teasers that turned out to be a hoax . A series of cryptic videos were posted online that seemed to hint at the next entry in the series, but after several days of teasing, it was revealed that the videos were entirely fan-made. Players were desperate for an official announcement regarding the next Battlefield game and took the bait from the fan, so this official bit of news on a Holiday 2021 launch window should help the tricked fans c

In order to stand up to Call of Duty , Battlefield 6 will have to take full advantage of next generation hardware for graphics and effects, amp up its sense of scale and action, revolutionize its own formula to blow Ground War out of the water, and offer a battle royale mode that applies the signature Battlefield flair to the most popular new genre of multiplayer shooter. The sense of scale should not be an issue- Battlefield has always excelled at making each individual player feel small in comparison to the planes roaring overhead, the explosions rocking the earth, and the hail of bullets whizzing past during each mad dash and brief, heroic moment. However, two main features will determine how much that matters in the face of CoD 's overwhelming popularity: an engaging and enduring setting, and innovation in signature game mechan

Nowadays similar functionality is available in newer Battlefield games, but it feels more like an add-on than a prominent gameplay mechanic. Sure, you can still make holes in walls with your favorite explosive ordinance, but it's generally in service to just converting a wall into a doorway. There's no more purposeful destruction like in previous Battlefield titles . A prime example would be Bad Company 2 's Arica Harbor map, which has a city section densely populated with buildings. On the second attack wave of Rush, the attacking team largely has no proper sightlines without damaging or taking down most of the buildings. The game literally encourages the attacking team to utilize destruction to open up the map more and force an advantage over the defending t
