After several hours in the trenches of Battlefield 6 it has become clear to me that it's a conventionally safe, but highly refined return to the era of Battlefield 3 and 4 – and that's very much by design. For better or worse, the changes made to the modern military formula pioneered by those games are more about enhancing that experience rather than making any substantial tweaks.
Those expecting a bold new step in the game's history might be let down, but those who want a return to the fundamentals after the more experimental Battlefield 2042 can expect something that will definitely meet them halfway. Even so, the game's biggest selling point – the emphasis on destruction and blowing up whatever unfortunate obstacle is in your way – didn't quite live up to my expectations.
