Sometimes life gives you lemons – I just got back from a lovely week on the English coast, but the timing of my holiday meant I missed an opportunity to get hands-on with Battlefield 6 this week, which is somewhat gutting. Still, I've been poring over the trailers and briefings that EA and Battlefield Studios released as part of its announcement event, and my hype is building hugely.
There's no way to really avoid acknowledging that Battlefield 2042 was a disappointment. While its launch brought some great ideas (in particular, the Portal system of old content), its abandonment of classes and insistence on Specialists was misguided, and its glitches didn't help matters.
