Tried the BF6 beat and I don't know I bother...

Battlefield 6 is Call of Duty with tanks. It's simply a Call of Duty game with a Battlefield skin. Spawn - engaged in battle straight away and respawn at the pace of a COD game. Battlefield games are meant to be more than this.

Battlefield and COD might as well merge. Awful small/linear designed maps - Movement spamming, sponge damage. Everything is forced to be played as break neck speeds. Designed for this ADHD generation of streamers who have ruined the FPS genre.

Social Media influencers have destroyed FPS genre. They get paid to push narratives that the companies want and the end result is Call of Duty & Battlefield being clones of themselves. BF6 isn't Battlefield because these kids don't know the history if the franchise and thinks everything should be a clone of everything else.

This is partly why I don't even play live-service multiplayer games these days. In the end, they all feel the same. They're all very derivative. This from someone who used to play the original Battlefield way back when. I feel like companies chasing the live-service trend are chasing their tails, and it's why so many end up failing spectacularly.

It doesn't help that the market is so saturated with them, all of them trying to get the attention of COD and Battlefield players, but the reality is that if you aren't COD or Battlefield, then you're failing miserably.

Would much rather have a unique single-player FPS rather than any live-service shooter any day. When Marathon was announced, for example, I was intrigued until it was revealed it would be another live-service shooter. That just seems like such a waste of potential to turn a classic FPS IP into a lifeless live-service product, an IP that deserves much more than that. I much prefer unique experiences even if I only play them once over anything bland and derivative.
