This game is great but I'm tired and worn out
Want to start by saying that this franchise is certainly in a better spot now that in has been. The devs have listened and produced a very good game. It's visually stunning, has sound design like no other and has taken steps towards becoming what battlefield should be.
However ....
I'm feeling worn out. Every match to me feels like non stop, throttle to the metal, unbridled chaos. The constant gun fights. The 24/7 destruction and explosions. The endless NOISE!
Maybe it's me just getting old, but as someone who started with Battlefield 2 and who's favourite was Battlefield 3, I miss the quiet downtime in a match. The ability to spawn and consider your next move/destination. The silent moments as assault as you lay prone in grass to let a tank roll by. Tactically placing a spawn beacon at their back spawn to cause disruption and try and swing a match. The distant fire of guns and the jets flying above.
Now it's just SCREAMING AND BOOMS 24/7. Gunfights around every corner. It's fun at first. It's visually spectacular. It makes for great OIB moments. Would make an incredible trailer. But I'm tired. Just had my worse game so far where I went 9 - 22. Found myself just running full speed towards action because my brain felt that's what was expected. There's no subtlety in BF6. It's not measured or deliberate. It's just MADNESS ALL THE TIME!
The game on its own is fantastic. The game has a Battlefield title on the other hand, I'm not so sure.
It feels very similar to what Groundwar was in COD when they tried their hand at big maps. Albeit with sprinkles of Battlefields formula. And it is better don't get it twisted.
Maybe it's the maps being too small I dunno. But there's something not quite landing for me. Except a jet on my head
