Battlefield 6’s multiplayer takes a bold, risky new direction
For all the talk of taking Battlefield back to its roots, Battlefield 6’s multiplayer is actually pretty bold. Typically the formula has been instantly recognisable to FPS fans: bombastic action, giant team sizes, and a polyamorous partnership between boots-on-the-ground, vehicular, and aerial warfare. But while the moment-to-moment is as fun as it ever was – with the potential perhaps to reach new heights for the series – some of the new ideas from Battlefield Studios (the amalgam of several EA developers in DICE, Ripple Effect, Criterion and Motive that now all work on this series) leave me unconvinced.
