So Battlefield 6 will indeed have a campaign as well as multiplayer! Battlefield 2042 was content merely to have lore, as are many FPS online shooters these days, but by all accounts Battlefield 6 is going to include a full-on single player story mode just like mama used to make. And while the brief teaser trailer we've seen doesn't show much, it feels as though the tone is pretty clear – a straightforward, "ooh-rah" military campaign about defending the beloved US of A from an endless cabal of faceless hired goons.
Which is fine! I admit I'm always a little bit amused by any story that tries to portray America as underdogs, but lord knows it wouldn't be the first time a game has asked us to suspend our disbelief on that. No, what makes me a little disappointed is that the tone looks like yet another departure from the greatest and most subversive story that Battlefield ever did: the punk genius of 2008's Battlefield Bad Company.
