Here's a statement that shouldn't surprise anybody who deployed into a certain early access beta last weekend: Battlefield is so back. As a 20-year veteran of this franchise, I can't even begin to tell you how great it feels to have Battlefield 6 pushing the series back to its best. Especially, after all those years spent wandering the wilderness that is the modern live-service shooter landscape.
Honestly, I had such a good time with the early Battlefield 6 beta access that I don't even feel it is all that necessary to heavily relitigate the mistakes that were made with Battlefield 2042. The past is the past, and developer Battlefield Studios has clearly learned the right lessons: the maximum supported players has been reduced from 128 to a more reasonable 64, the setting has been refocused towards modern warzones, the maps are foundationally tighter, responsive destruction is widespread, and specialized classes are back in action. It's all happening.
