Battlefield 6 devs are trying to find the balance between 'zoomers' and 'battledads', following movement nerfs: 'We're looking at adjustments for sure to find a good in-between'

Battlefield 6 Twitch Drops: The Dagger 1-3 squad (Carter, Gecko, Lopez, and Murphy) crouched up next to a mossy wall.

There is a conflict brewing in Battlefield 6, a secret underground war spanning generations. The fledgling Zoomer Rebellion rallies its forces against the House of Battledads over a crucial resource that will decide the fate of the FPS genre for years to come: Movement mechanics.

That is, if the community's to be believed. See, during the Battlefield 6 beta, jumping and sliding was significantly nerfed to ensure the game didn't devolve into a Titanfall-esque parkour fest, where the newest generation (with their intact reflexes and youthful spirit and hair, grumble grumble) wouldn't simply clown on long-time series fans because they know how to b-hop or knife-boost or whatever these dang kids are calling it nowadays.
