Since we first started hearing about the game that would become Battlefield 6, EA has talked up its mission to recapture the "golden years" of Battlefields 3 and 4. While it's definitely on track to do that after my four hours of playtime last week, what revved me up was how much BF6 reminds me of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
It's well-documented that the Battlefield series follows the Mario Kart Rule: the one you played the most (or first) is probably still your favorite. For me, nothing has stood the test of time like Bad Company 2's curated selection of modes, perfectly sized maps, and freeform destruction that let players blow most buildings apart until they were nothing but a pile of disintegrated concrete.
