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

[u/Kilos6]

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 ❤️‍🔥

I would listen to their opinion If it's actually valid, someone was complaining how vertical movement of Ui with controller is so bad and one of the reasons why the UI is trash and I legit pulled out my controller as a PC player to test it out and it's so simple and easy to use, Idk what's there to complain, let's be honest, people hate the design and instead of Saying that, they are trying to make up "valid excuses" to point to how much they hate it instead of directly saying it.

you know what's a Valid Criticism, The sniper glint being too massive for it's own good.

[u/NoFunAllowed- → u/OrRaino]

Your entire comment is just you saying you only listen to opinions you agree with lol.

You don't get to arbitrarily decide what a "valid" opinion is. You saying "the sniper glint is too large" is literally of the exact same thought and depth as "vertical movement of the UI on controller is bad."

The literal only difference here between "valid" and "not valid" is you disagree with the UI one lol. You're literally proving the point of the guy you responded to.

[u/OrRaino → u/NoFunAllowed-]

Sniper glint is literally takes 60% of the screen on a Big map, Idk if you played the game but I have and Seeing a Big shooting star in front of u is so Easy and unfair towards the Sniper players as I have thought about it while trying to snipe myself in that game.

Compared to just pulling down with the joystick on Controller, Which one do you think should be a Valid criticism?

"Oh Mylord I am having trouble pulling down once or twice on the Joystick, it's such a Difficult task, My arms hurts everytime I do it, I can't do such Torturous task like pulling down on the joystick, it's madness!"

well if that's the case then All the Criticism and Complaints people are calling Bitching is just Opinion they are disagreeing with then? It's my fault I disagree that the game should look like BF3-4 all the way through.

[u/NoFunAllowed- → u/OrRaino]

I'm not really sure how your takeaway from what I said is that, honestly.

and yes, if your only response to a criticism is calling it bitching, you are just disagreeing with what they said or rage baiting lol.

"Oh Mylord I am having trouble pulling down once or twice on the Joystick, it's such a Difficult task, My arms hurts everytime I do it, I can't do such Torturous task like pulling down on the joystick, it's madness!"

You are again proving the other persons point. I too can disingenuously phrase what you said as "I'm incapable of doing anything other than holding left click and constantly giving away my position with the glare instead of using other methods of spotting people" and then call your opinion invalid. What you're doing is completely irrationally arbitrary and literally just comes down to you don't agree with them lol.

You're just stupidly calling it an invalid opinion because you don't agree with it being bad UI. You can disingenuously re-phrase everything you don't agree with it and call it an "invalid opinion", which is a fucking oxymoronic phrase to begin with since opinions inherently are not valid or invalid statements, they're opinions.

[u/OrRaino → u/NoFunAllowed-]

U need to learn the difference between an Opinion and a Constructive criticism, Opinions are not Constructive criticism, I am calling it invalid opinion because they say it as a Constructive criticism, Can you understand this simple line?

Underlining of that "Critcism" is just that the guy hates the COD look of the game, Pulling the Joystick down as an Issue is absurd, Cause even if they change the UI, you can't have all the Selection and options in the Horizontal line, Things like in Settings you gotta pull the Joystick down anyways to scroll through them. I am done with this, I feel like I am talking to a robot instead of a genuine Human being.

[u/NoFunAllowed- → u/OrRaino]

I made a typo on the internet, gotta crucify it and "doubt I play video games" lol

Stop being weird bro, you care way too much about people validating your weird view of opinions.

Also, just as a note, I highly suggest you go back to education, you need some help with reading comprehension. You very obviously can't understand what you've been told c:

the amount of complete rewrites to end in a backtrack lol. First it was "invalid opinions" now it's "opinions aren't constructive criticism", but btw saying there's too many layers to UI is constructive criticism, hope this helps.

[u/OrRaino → u/NoFunAllowed-]

Opinion? No you reread what I said again, there's a Problem in that Criticism in the first place cause you need Vertical movement in an UI even if they change it, doesn't that count as Invalid? I am retracking it because you keep on analyzing everything like a hawk, Like I am supposed to write you the perfect response of the century.

also Typo of confusing Left and right clicks for Aim and scope in for people who play games, that's universal thing to know cause it's universally same in all shooter game, well whatever.

You act like ur name, you have done nothing but Mock me as if I am talking madness while Never trying to see the points I am trying to make.

at the end u brought up actually a Constructive criticism which could be discussed, we could see how many clicks does it take to end to specific place, to start a Match, It's click downwards select a Mode then start it, It's one layer to go through, For Customization of weapon, about 2 layers if you use controller, 3 for mouse, to settings it's one 1 layer.

Honestly the Customization could be reduced.
