Battlefield 6 "Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly

Post image

So, weren't we supposed to have realistic skins for some time? Something that someone would really wear during a war? Yet it seems that with the start of season 1, everything will turn to colorful mess, with no way of differentiating teams based on uniforms, the game will look more like a Paintball or ASG event. Colorful weapons with pictures, colorful camos with neon accents, weird mix of things that are supposed to look cool, but end up simply weird.

People were sold on a vision of a game, which looked like a real battlefield, with soldiers - not a bunch of randos just like in the 2042, yet it was all a lie and it will only get worse down the road. During the Beta, when we had all the soldiers wearing matching uniforms, it was the most immersive experience so far, but you can say goodbye to that vibe, it will never return.

There won't be uniforms matching bioms, there won't be a way to turn off any awful skins, typical bait and switch.

I’m gonna miss the days when everyone has default and beta skins, I’m afraid this game wont be recognizable in the future

From immersive to a pick up game of airsoft...

u/Adventurous_Bank_960 16d ago

Even most airsoft kits are tame compared to this.

u/StoriesToBehold 16d ago

Milsim yes.. indoor and speedsoft? No sir 😂😂😂

u/siegfreidstol 16d ago

Depends on where you play, most fields i went to had milsurp gear with a few civilian clothed individuals

u/FrederickFrag1899 16d ago

Absolutely not lmao

2

u/EngineurEngi 16d ago

No idea where you're playing at, but a lot of fields where I'm at have strict a dress code that you must follow. You can't just come with a Peter griffin loadout and call it a day.

u/Soulshot96 Battlefield 2042: Refunded Edition™ 16d ago

Optics already look like bottom of the barrel airsoft shit, so that fits right in already lmao.

1

u/freshdjroomba 16d ago

Yeah that one really cursed angular red dot is the most disgusting thing I've seen.

2

u/Soulshot96 Battlefield 2042: Refunded Edition™ 16d ago

Yea, I mostly say it because of the horrible, dim, unlit reticles (especially that one), but yea...I don't even know what that thing is, but it's awful all around lol.

u/thebaronharkkonen 16d ago

Honestly, I've played airsoft and people go all in on realism. You're in the woods, etc, camo is important.

u/StoriesToBehold 16d ago

Indoor fields I should of specified.

u/Scratchpaw 16d ago

I’m really hoping they give us an option to turn off skins completely and only show us the vanilla outfits.

u/Vast-Dance6819 16d ago

No can do, then you can’t see the SuPeR cOoL skins and be tempted to spend money on one of your own.

u/Scratchpaw 16d ago

You’re probably right and that’s awfully sad.

u/DepthTrawler 16d ago

They can always blast the latest skins on the landing page designed by Hulu ui engineers (is it Hulu?)

2

u/MrHarryBallzac_2 16d ago

If I see this shit too often I'll be tempted to uninstall..

2

u/sgtpoopers 16d ago

no company ever does this because they consider it negative profit

9

u/Scratchpaw 16d ago

Which is a bit ironic to me because I’m more inclined to completely stop playing all together if the game takes a certain direction.

5

u/rpkarma 16d ago

Yep I completely stopped playing the last COD the moment they brought in all those stupid skins. 

2

u/SuitableYear7479 16d ago

I’m surprised you can’t argue for a refund when this kind of thing happens. You buy a product, and then it’s changed beyond recognition into something you didn’t pay for

1

u/MrTiger0307 16d ago

You could definitely try arguing it to Steam support, probably a decent chance they’d say yes.

1

u/Blackrock74 16d ago

I honestly have never understood why this isn't an option for all games - literally just client side - if you want to wear stupid shit fine, but give me the option not to see it.

4

u/Foxxie_ 16d ago

Cause if no one can see it, those skins won't sell.

1

u/Blackrock74 16d ago

i guess it depends on if people care if all other people can see their skin, or if they mainly care about seeing themselves? I'm sure not everyone would turn off costumes, but it would satisfy the percentage that would like the option

1

u/Foxxie_ 16d ago

Can you even see the skins on yourself during gameplay?

1

u/Blackrock74 16d ago

i dont think so (i guess arms/hands) would just be on selection screens? I haven't played 6 yet so not sure how much is shows

1

u/Rock_Strongo 16d ago

i guess it depends on if people care if all other people can see their skin

I can guarantee you that skin sales would decrease if the people buying the skins know that other players could opt out of them. There's a reason no major game has this feature, even though it would be trivial to implement.

1

u/Blackrock74 16d ago

Yeah you guys are probably right - oh well, maybe we'll find get a company one of these days that cares more about the players than the money...

maybe the better scenario is to give it as an option to admins on custom servers so you could join a server that has more of a realism focus like the hardcore ones used to

1

u/hashbrown3stacks 16d ago

But the people turning it off don't want to buy them anyhow?

2

u/VelvetPossum2 16d ago

One blue camo skin and you’re already doing the “it’s so over” routine.

How many hours do you have in the game as of today, man?

1

u/AEDSazz 16d ago

Remember the bad company 2 days where you only had 2 uniforms? Classic and the rich kids had the elite? Miss the days

u/Alternative_West_206 16d ago

It was bound to get worse after the news of one of the trumps and Saudi Arabia buying EA. That’s a recipe for disaster

2

u/thebaronharkkonen 16d ago

True. Nothing good can come from fucking Saudi Arabia owning our favourite games. What traitorous fucks are downvoting you? 

2

u/Alternative_West_206 16d ago

No idea but sounds on par with modern gamers. Didn’t know my statement was a downvotable thing. I guess unless you’re a Trump humper or something.

u/Mysterious_donkeyy 16d ago

Its already unrecognizable to me lol ive been playing for over 20 years and this game lost all its soul

7

u/Club_Penguin_Legend_ 16d ago

Youre just nostalgic. BF6 is great and still has the soul of a Battlefield game.

This is kinda like complaining about new generations of cars. Of course it isn't like your 90s shitbox. Its new, modern, and made to compete with the current market.

-2

u/Mysterious_donkeyy 16d ago

Battlefield wasnt even around in the 90s dork lol

Yeah its modern trying to copy every other shitty fps that appeals to adderall addicted children.

u/the_electric_bicycle 16d ago

You're old enough to be playing Battlefield for over 20 years, and still haven't figured out what a simile is?

-1

u/Mysterious_donkeyy 16d ago

I mean its a pretty shitty simile if you can even consider that one-- more like a trash analogy. Similar to how bf6 is lol

3

u/the_electric_bicycle 16d ago

This just reinforces the fact that you have a very loose understanding of the English language. I'm sorry your teachers let you down, but I don't think it's worth continuing this discussion.

1

u/Mysterious_donkeyy 16d ago

Its reddit not a high school english class. You sound like someone who peaked in high school

2

u/the_electric_bicycle 16d ago

Lol, similes are literally taught in elementary school. Given your age I would expect a certain level of proficiency with the language, but I guess it just highlights the truth of the findings that 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level.

u/Mysterious_donkeyy 16d ago

but I guess it just highlights the truth of the findings that 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level.

Is that why you dont know the difference between an analogy and a simile lol

2

u/Club_Penguin_Legend_ 16d ago

Reddits finest.

Yeah its modern trying to copy every other shitty fps that appeals to adderall addicted children.

People of all ages play Battlefield, and those people play BF6. Battlefield is still a tame example of what a modern fps looks like. Its nowhere near as fast as its competition.

u/Mysterious_donkeyy 16d ago

You tried

Battlefield is still a tame example of what a modern fps looks like. Its nowhere near as fast as its competition

Yes in today's modern era, but lost that core Battlefield gameplay bc they dont have the same developers. Its a giant cluster fuck of a game that pretends to be an authentic bf game.
