Battlefield™ 6 Phantom Edition

This game is not fun! There are a select few people who seem to like it, but it’s pure chaos. Dying comes a lot and often. Campers stake out the map and you often get killed just trying to spawn. The game teaches you to camp and just wait as people try to get objectives. I’ve played several games and several hours and it’s always the same. If you attack you get wasted by campers. If you defend you just camp. This is the worst Battlefield game I’ve played. I’m constantly getting killed from clear across the map by guys with submachine guns. There’s no mix of gameplay it’s just rinse and repeat. I don’t know how people constantly know where I am. I finally unlocked the silencer, I don’t run out in the open, and I still get killed by some camper. The worst multiplayer game I’ve ever played! COD has cheaters but you can at least block them. The maps usually punish you for camping in COD.

My fault for not digging deeper—I watched multiple YouTube reviews, and none of them mentioned that BF6’s maps are CS2/CoD-sized (biggest map, Mirak Valley, is a pathetic ~0.59 km² compared to BF2’s glorious 1.5 km² beasts like Dalian Plant). Vehicles are useless (tanks and jets are just cannon fodder on these postage-stamp maps), epic pushes and flanking routes are nonexistent, and it’s nothing but constant infantry zerg rushes with SMGs everywhere—no combined-arms soul, just run-and-gun chaos like Black Ops 7. From the very first match something felt wrong. I played a few hours before the sinking realization hit: this is Battlefield skin stretched over a Call of Duty skeleton. Professional reviews completely glossed over it (I so wish I’d seen AngryJoe’s review before buying). I’ve never wanted a refund this badly in my life. If you’re expecting old-school Battlefield, stay far away.

While the core gameplay is still enjoyable, I was disappointed in how portal/PvE game modes were made irrelevant by taking away XP gains for playing those modes. As someone who LOVES the core gameplay but struggles to compete in PvP lobbies, I was really hoping for Co-op PvE/portal lobbies where I could get the full gameplay experience but at my own pace and still work toward unlocking gadgets and attachments. I'm not looking to "cheese" the progression system or gain any unfair advantages. I just want to enjoy part of the game I thought I was buying. The Redsec addition is fine (maybe even good to give the more competitive players an outlet from destroying me in conquest), but I'm not really into BR. The battle pass progression for non-BR players is also ridiculously slow but that's to be expected. Just STOP advertising premium passes/currency to me. I already paid $70 for the game but feel like I'm being shaken down to spend more on a mode I didn't ask for.

We were promised fun XP in Portal Verified Modes.. Dice / EA did a rug pull after launch and has nerfed portal into the ground. Sadly, I can't refund because the game was downloaded and played. Beware, beware, beware.. DO NOT BUY....

With Spawn camping so bad, I hope Dice will fix this and fix some small maps and some of the big maps also. The campaign was so fun, wish it had more. Weapons are good. TTK feels out of place. 50% of the time you get a kill while still having ammo leftover; while the other 50% of the time, you are dumping a full clip of ammo and you die while they walk away. It's not about being perfect, but definitely needs balance.
