"I want to gouge my eyes out" — Battlefield 6 players slam Challenges gating weapon and gadget unlocks behind "atrocious" objectives, and I'm with them

An official screenshot of Battlefield 6.

Electronic Arts' (EA) highly anticipated large-scale multiplayer shooter Battlefield 6 is finally here, and so far, it's proven to be an absolutely colossal hit. Following a near-unanimous stream of positive reviews, the long-awaited FPS skyrocketed to over 750K players on Steam alone at launch, with hundreds of thousands of concurrent players on the game around the clock on Xbox, PC, and PS5 ever since.

Indeed, it's undeniable that Battlefield 6 has been tremendously successful for EA and its Battlefield developers during its launch weekend, and I have no doubt that it will continue to be in the days, weeks, and months to come. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the game remains popular for many years, especially with the power of the Halo Forge-like custom games creation mode Portal in the hands of fans.
