BF6 A Hot Mess of a Game

Battlefield 6

I have been playing this game since launch and this has been the most disappointing Battlefield game I have ever played. But lets start with the pros

Pros:
- Gunplay
- Vehicle Movement
- Optimization
- Lack of Bugs
- Escalation (great new mode)
- Movement
- Sound
- Squad system
- Body Drag (revive)
- Destruction
- No SBBM (thank god)

Cons
- Map variety: too little in terms of what we have (large vs small, navel maps, too many CQB)
- Limited time game modes are a bore (like seriously I play it once and I never play it ever again)
- Map quality: Blackwell Oil Fields and New Sobek City is just awful maps (which makes it worse in the total amount of maps in the game)
- 2 Maps per season (seriously 2 maps in 3 months is just not a good live service
- RedSec isn't unique (Just a copy paste Warzone)
- Single player campaign just sucks
- Clunky Menu UI: (We all know about this one and Modern Gaming)
- Skins offered in Battlepass or in the store isn't good (MW19 had far better skins and maintaining the realism theme. Hell Resident Evil 9 had the coolest Umbrella Elite Guard Skins)
- Battlepass Progression sucks
- B0T (Better call this B0ttlefield 6 because seriously every time I play Conquest the lobby barely gets filled)
- Lack of Vehicle gameplay options (Jets don't get upgrades)
- Jets and Helicopters are way to condensed in these map sizes (no room to maneuver or recover)
- Marksman Rifles are mainly just terrible (As the moment of today, but could change tomorrow)
- Assault is underpowered and selfish role (Yes it is a call of duty class but it really needs more variation and team play components)
- Portal is abandoned (Like seriously I can't find a server because the server browser fucken sucks. DICE go back to BF4 and make it simple for the players and REMOVE B0TS in PORTAL) and if you promote a portal mode PRIORITIZE PING!
- Server browser: HOLY SHIT DICE HOW DID YOU MESS THAT UP??? Like seriously you could have made it simple and fostered a community of die hards after the game is done.

TLDR: This game has some gems but it is being hindered by its own bloat as a game. 4 Different studios are all fighting for space to build their game. DICE with multiplayer, Ripple Effects with Portal, Motive (defunct) for story, and Criterion (possibly REDSEC). This game has little replay-ability or interest and I don't see how I can find myself continue. I believed Portal would keep me but the way Battlefield Studios just can't promote the mode because of terrible server browser and Bot lobbies. It is ruining that mode.
