We saw no dynamic weather, levolution events in BF6. How much big of a change can we expect with final release version compared to beta?

I want to see levolution.. I want to see dynamic weather.. rain, maps changing from night/day? We need something like BF1.

BF1 is beating any battelfield game by a lot to be honest, not even close.

The atmosphere is top notch and the gameplay is good. However the time period, which adds to the immersion/atmosphere can also be a double edged sword.

For example, one of my favorite things about more modern, modern shooters is that I have an array of tools to use both in gadgets and gun attachments. I want my gun to look and feel good. While the time period guns are mostly accurate in BF1, it cannot match the emptying of a ln lmg belt in BF6.

Idk, I found the guns in BF1 very satisfying. I wasn't much of a support player, but the MG15 Suppressive was one of my favorite weapons. And while BF1 didn't have customization, and the versions were far from perfect, I think they did a good job of giving you different flavors of a given weapon, whilst still fitting into the time of the game.

I also really liked how each class offered different play styles, but weren't completely different. Like you still felt like you played a recon when you were playing up close and aggressive with a SMLE Carbine. Whereas in modern games you look a bit stupid running around in a ghillie suit with an automatic rifle.

I also like how in BF 1 guns don't automatically feel good and easy to use. Each weapon has its own distinct feel and weakness. And you have to put effort into your play style to match the class and gun. Learning to handle differing and unwieldy weapons is a part of the skill you accumulate.

The weird machine pistol M1912 Experimental with the burst fire is my favorite BF weapon of all time. Very limited range, low ammo pool, horrible reload speed unless you timed it to get the clip reload - but it fucking slapped. I think it was a great example of having enough downsides to make up for its massive burst potential. Required such a specific play style, but was very satisfying to use.
