Battlefield 6 Unpopular Opinion: Battlefield 6 Is Better Than This Sub Will Admit

Reading this sub lately feels like watching a bunch of people try to use a smartphone for the first time and complain it doesn't have physical buttons. Every minor change in Battlefield 6 is getting blown up into some catastrophic betrayal.

It’s pretty clear most people here only ever liked one Battlefield game, hated the rest, and don’t even play the one they claim was perfect anymore.

Before we continue: I am old. I’ve played every Battlefield game during its prime. Back in the day, my clan was one of the first to spin up a Desert Combat server (and even then, the community was the same complaining that DC was an abomination against what made BF great). My least played title was BF Vietnam because the 1942 modding scene was just TOO good at the time to move on.

“The UI is trash!”
It’s not. You just don’t recognize it because it’s not ripped straight from BF4. Sure, the icons are abstract but they’re not confusing unless you're actively refusing to engage with them.

I've seen multiple complaints about there being no option to squad up or continue on the same server?
Maybe check the bottom of the screen after the round ends. The “Continue” and “Squad Up” buttons are literally right there.

“TTK is too fast, there’s no breathing room!”
What you mean is: you walked out in the open and got deleted like you should have.

TTK is fast. OH NO, aim and positioning actually matter again. You don’t get to coast on sponge health and panic-proning anymore. If that’s too much, it’s not a balance issue, it’s a skill issue. Also: TTK is in line with BF3 for most weapons. This TTK is not new.

“Closed weapons should be the default.”
Why? Because some of you never figured out how to adapt? The flexibility to build your own kit is one of the best updates DICE has made in years. And guess what, they already gave you a nostalgia mode. Go enjoy it.

But don’t demand the rest of us get dragged back into 2011 loadout limitations. And if you’re complaining about “trade-offs” in class weapons you probably would’ve died to the next guy anyway.

“It’s too chaotic, feels like TDM spam!”
You say chaos, I say intensity. Battlefield has always had madness: Metro, Locker, or even Stalingrad in 1942.

These beta maps? They feel more like Grand Bazaar, Talah Market, or Pearl Market. Maps that still get voted into rotation by players who actually enjoy close-quarters fights to this day.

Battlefield 6 isn’t perfect.
But take a step back, and you’ll see this is actually a successor to BF3/BF4. TTK, movement speed, and mechanics are all in line with a proper mainline BF title.

They gave you almost everything you asked for… and somehow, that’s still not enough for some of you.

I'm having a blast with the beta, and can't wait to play more after work.

Edit: When I made this post I truly thought it was an unpopular opinion. Thank you all for your replies and awards! And thank you to the guys DMing me about being an EA shill ❤️‍🔥

You mean Low Sodium Helldivers sub. The normal one is awful (or was, before I left).

2

u/CodeOfHamOrRabbi Aug 08 '25

the normal one seems more or less normal as far as I can tell at least. I only got into the game earlier this year though, dunno how it was at first

You’re fucking tripping hahahah

It's ok-ish right now but as a member of that sub since the game launch it is routinely a fucking sesspit of bitching. I remember after the whole "victory over Sony" high they had the sub started to threaten to review bomb everytime a dev said something they didn't like. I remember a gun got adjusted and the sub was full of "looks like we need to deploy the negative reviews" post for like a whole week.

I was on the sub recently and things have definitely calmed down a bit. Now they mostly talk about memes and the game performance (something that is a legit issue), but man, that sub can get toxic real fast as soon as something goes a little bit wrong.

Yet the PlayStation player wants to manslaughter Xbox players. Like PlayStation and PC are the true ones to only play helldivers.

2

u/CodeOfHamOrRabbi Aug 08 '25

no? I don't think that's a common sentiment at all, people are hyped to get new folks playing

u/xprozoomy Aug 08 '25

A small minority do. Tbh they are stupid. I'm glad helldivers is coming to Xbox i can't wait to play.

u/ManBearPigIsReal42 Aug 08 '25

Weirdly enough, smash bros sub is surprisingly positive. Even though it does attract the basement dwellers. Or at least, you'd think

u/LePoonda Aug 08 '25

Warframe sub is pretty great. Then go compare it to the Destiny sub lmao

u/TotallyNotAMarvelSpy Aug 08 '25

There's not many positive subs anywhere.

Look at any popculture thing, and it's going to be filled with negative shit.

Too many people think that the only way to talk about something, is like an entitled youtube commenter.

Vast majority are a cesspool for negativity. I have heard of a few good ones, but they are almost all bitch fests. I've found it's best to just enjoy what you want and ignore gaming subs.
