By surrendering to an 'open weapons' default, Battlefield 6 is giving up the most special thing about Battlefield

Battlefield 6 reveal trailer.

Almost a week removed from the Battlefield 6 beta, I wouldn't blame you for being tired of hearing about weapons being open or closed.

On its face, the debate appears moot as Battlefield Studios keeps saying it will support both rulesets in BF6 regardless of their popularity. New players coming over from Call of Duty think divorcing class choice from weapon choice feels normal and natural, many longtime fans feel strongly about keeping weapons locked to classes, and some have even been converted to open weapons after trying it these past two weekends. No matter your preference, Battlefield 6 will accommodate you, and everyone will be happy.
