Battlefield 6 Review

I’m playing this game on a fairly weak PC by today’s standards, so my opinion may still change over time. That said, it must be acknowledged that despite serious flaws—such as terrible netcode and being killed literally behind a wall long after you’ve already taken cover—along with numerous bugs, glitches, and outright crashes, the game is in a rough technical state.

While this state is slowly improving (with new problems mysteriously appearing along the way), the core gameplay still delivers a lot of fun. And ultimately, that’s the game’s main goal.
Battlefield 6 is essentially a cinematic moments generator—or a PTSD simulator.

Countless times I’ve experienced massive explosions, helicopters crashing on top of me, or entire buildings collapsing right next to me. I often felt like recording these moments and uploading them to YouTube—until I realized this kind of chaos happens in almost every single match.

As you gain experience, the game becomes more enjoyable simply because you perform better, which results in greater satisfaction from each match. Like every Battlefield game, you’re given complete freedom in how you want to play:

Want to snipe from long range? Go ahead.

Want to fly a helicopter? It’s hard to survive, but sure.

Want to drive a tank or destroy enemy vehicles as infantry? Absolutely.

Want to play as a medic? Please do—sometimes it’s the only way to actually help your team.

Positives

✅ Environmental destruction
Destruction provides both fun and tactical depth. A sniper hiding in a building and you can’t take him out normally? No building = no sniper. Simple as that 😄

✅ Weapon feel, balance, and customization
The gunplay is excellent. Weapons feel great, are well-balanced, and offer solid design and modification options. Every weapon feels viable and enjoyable, and each will definitely find its fans.
I’ve already mastered four weapons to level 50 (almost five), and it’s been a pleasure so far. I mainly played with the M277, RPKM, LMR27, KV9, and NVO.

✅ Loadouts, classes, and customization
Equipment, character skins, class identity, and gameplay differences allow you to tailor your playstyle perfectly. Most gadgets are genuinely useful and complement each class well.

Pushing objectives and reviving teammates? Medic with smoke grenades and a defibrillator is perfect.

Holding a position under constant grenade spam? The grenade interception system shines here.

Want to enter a building in an unconventional way? As an Assault, you can use a ladder to jump through a window and surprise enemies.

Enemy team using lots of ground vehicles? Engineers with mines—both proximity and anti-vehicle—have you covered.

And nothing beats the satisfaction of shooting down a helicopter—or even a jet—with a standard RPG.

Skins look decent overall. They could be better, but some of them fit the game world very well. Hopefully it stays that way—none of us want a repeat of what happened to Call of Duty in recent years.

✅ Teamplay rewards
The game actively rewards teamwork: capturing objectives, repairing vehicles, spotting enemies with drones (which grants assist points), reviving teammates, and resupplying allies.
This encourages cooperative play, and many players actually try to support their team. Of course, there are still medics who step over fallen teammates only to die uselessly a minute later—but that’s online gaming for you.

✅ Audio-visual presentation
Even though I couldn’t fully enjoy the visuals due to playing on low settings, the audio design is outstanding. Explosions, helicopters crashing into buildings, miniguns, heavy machine guns, main battle tank cannons, jets and attack helicopters roaring overhead—it all sounds fantastic.

Combined with environmental destruction, this creates strong immersion, and nearly every match feels like a YouTube clip factory.

Negatives

❌ Technical condition
At times, the game’s technical state is simply terrible. There are countless bugs and glitches:
super jumps after death, falling through textures, colliding with destroyed objects, invisible walls where buildings used to be, broken animations, shooting range bugs, ladder and vaulting issues, disappearing RPG rockets, and frequent desynchronization with servers.

Some updates completely broke the game, causing massive FPS drops and instability. Things are somewhat better now, but there’s still a long list of issues to fix.

❌ Menu design
The menu is unintuitive and cluttered. Important features are hidden behind excessive scrolling (vertically and horizontally), making them easy to miss.
It also borrows far too heavily from Call of Duty in both layout and overall presentation.

❌ Map design
Maps are too small and claustrophobic. While close-quarters maps are needed, almost every map—including the Battle Royale map—feels undersized.

Multi-level design combined with poor visibility, dense foliage, and cluttered environments often makes spotting enemies nearly impossible. You can die from four or five different angles, across multiple floors, without ever knowing where to aim.

Small maps also cripple vehicle gameplay:

Helicopters are barely useful beyond quick objective drops.

You’re locked by enemy missiles before even leaving your base.

Surviving more than a few minutes in a helicopter requires godlike skill, extreme luck, terrible opponents—or all three at once.

I hope future maps will be significantly larger. Close-quarters combat is dynamic, sure—but this Battlefield often feels more like Call of Duty than Battlefield.

❌ A good shooter, but a weak Battlefield
Due to small maps and movement mechanics, Battlefield 6 sometimes feels closer to Call of Duty (2019) than a proper Battlefield experience.

The gameplay is often too fast and chaotic, with not enough emphasis on tactics, vehicle combat, and combined arms warfare.
The influx of COD players also resulted in an excessive number of campers who contribute nothing to the team and simply wait for easy kills far from objectives.

Final Verdict

A good shooter, but a disappointing Battlefield.
Despite its many issues, the game still manages to deliver plenty of fun for many hours. A wide weapon selection and varied game modes keep the gameplay fresh.

Community servers and BF Portal exist, though they were heavily mishandled and nearly killed by the developers—despite having real potential. The developers do listen to players to some extent, but often seem unable to fix core problems (unless it involves skins).

The community is mostly a positive aspect, although there are players who simply ruin the experience for others rather than play as a team.

Still, I’m cautiously optimistic and curious about the future of Battlefield—what upcoming seasons will bring, whether the mentioned issues will be resolved, or if new ones will appear.

Score

7.4 / 10
It could have been much better—but it’s still solid.
Above all else, the game delivers what matters most: fun.
