Battlefield 6's lead oozes confidence by confirming that the servers 'should be' ready for its release on Friday, breaking a cycle of awful Battlefield launches

Battlefield 6: A soldier wearing a tan uniform, including a helmet, glasses, and mask, facing to the side with a sledgehammer over their shoulder while turning to look at the camera.
