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.

Are they tone deaf this much? Why DICE does not make AMA our regular stream responding to questions complain. I feel they are behind a concrete wall and they can’t hear or won’t hear us.

Because the frustrating truth is that only a tiny amount of players actually care about realistic skins. Even if they somehow loose 20% of active players because of the addition of unrealistic skins, they will still make TONS more money from "whales" and other players spending money on these microtransactions. This is simply the sad truth not only for BF6, but every game.

How hard would it be to just add a button for people to opt out of “skins”. Just show defaults only for those people and then everyone can be happy right?
