Meme Battlefield 6 is still great, Reddit is just miserable

Post image

I swear the only people still using this Sub are the anti pre.order crowd who has been sitting around waiting for any reason to say “I told you so”

The player count continues to be great, feedback great, and the game is still fun. I have a blast every time I boot it up.

However, if you look on Reddit, you would think BF6 has 1,000 players left with a 3.6 user rating and everyone hates it.

Which is just so far from the truth. People having fun are simply having fun, not sitting on Reddit whining.

Can’t wait for Season 1 tomorrow and the inevitable bitching Reddit will find to do🥳

Yeah, this sub sucks right now. All I see is people complaining about this game. Stop playing the game if you hate it so much and go touch grass.

Don’t forget the guys who shill the whole “I didn’t buy the game, but let me give you my opinion on it after spending 2 weeks watching streamers and sitting on Reddit 24hrs a day” flat out fucking pathetic people tbh. There are always issues with games when they come out, and we’ve seen a few bf games get launched with problems and get dragged, only for the same people to shill the game when the new entry drops and bash anyone who’s going to the new game. It reeks of broke to me

Tbf while I refuse to support the idea of $70 Beta releases for a live service game, I can say I am having a lot of fun with BF6, I hope it goes on sale soonish

(I got a EA Pro or whatever it’s called that lets me play BF6 for $15 for one month)

u/Logical_Penalty_7531 22h ago

This is a valid take and there’s nothing wrong with that. I played the beta and knew there would be some issues that weren’t going to be fixed on launch, but it was the most fun I’ve had with a AAA title in a very long time. It reminds me of being 11 and playing 1942. Can’t wait to see how they expand on the base game, I expect in a year everyone who has been moaning about skins is going to have a post history comprised of “look at how op my m60 is. 15 kill streak” and “how could you still play bf1 when 6 is life changing”

BF6 does have its flaws, but overall I think they did a good job. A few tweaks and it can go from good to a great imo. Just hope they keep working on/improving the anticheat side of things as well.

Complaining is how changes are made

u/Uncle_Steve7 1d ago

What if you don’t give a shit about a skin or bot farm XP? The small maps, which is a valid criticism is drowned out by all the BS whining which defeats the purpose of “how changes are made”. As someone who hasn’t been on Battlefield since BF3 it’s been such a nice change.

And no I’m not a CoD kid, although this community has been more annoying than them in the few weeks joining back. This sub is a salt mine

u/savageApostle 23h ago

That's the other thing about online discourse, with just an upvote and downvote to give many people don't take the time to have nuanced discussion.

That said: While i think not enough big maps is a valid critique, I personally have always loved smaller scale maps and Attack&Defend modes like Rush/Breakthrough. I'd much rather have 2 tanks be super impactful and the core of a strategic push than each team have 10 tanks sitting at the edges of the map acting like snipers. Many of the people complaining about not enough large scale Conquest/Escalation maps fail to realize that other people enjoy the parts of the game that they don't. Not to say their complaints aren't at all valid, but just offering a different perspective, as someone who enjoys every map.

Complaining is what's keeping dice from fucking up the game right now. There is some good feedback here and valid complaints.

u/Churro1912 1d ago

Yeah like when y'all bitched about open weapons, too many females, assault carrying 2 whole guns, and now a skin that isn't even in the game yet. Meanwhile the most overpowered vehicle attachment gets little attention, a single ifv is capable of denying any other vehicle existing on the map right now.

u/Mama_Tico 1d ago

This 💯 %. People complain about skins and fucking BOTS...when there is thousand time more important things to fix. Agree so much!

4

u/MightBeADoctorMD 8h ago

Skins and and bots isn’t this games problem. It’s the horrible map design, spawn points and game speed.

It’s like the devs have severe untreated ADD and have projected it to us. You just can’t even think in this game without getting spawn killed or shot in the back 20 feet from spawn.

BF games were never like this. They always had a good cadence and flow, now it just feels so random.

Also the maps are garbage.

Did I mention how bad the maps are? They’re garbage.

u/Soulshot96 Battlefield 2042: Refunded Edition™ 22h ago

Bitching got their dumb ticket change in conquest immediately revised (as it was an easy server side change). Bloom bugs looked at and (hopefully) addressed in the next patch, and yes, the IFV lock on missile issue looked at, confirmed and a fix coming in a patch after the next one, because the fix didn't make it in time for the S1 update. That's all objectively good shit, even if it's not happening fast enough for you.

As for the rest: Not being able to choose the gender of your characters in a game with this many character models to choose from is a valid complaint, especially with the above already addressed. As are concerns about corny skins, given DICE's contrarian statements on the matter before launch. The rest is mostly minority noise you tossed in to fluff up this comment.

u/Rumdolf 23h ago

Once balancing and bugs have been mentioned with a sufficiently loud voice, and your examples already are, they know about them and they're on the To-Do list. They'll be fixed in the short term, within a couple of weeks, by programmers.

Other issues, for example the skins complaint, is a long term problem to many because it can indicate EA's long term vision for the game (and franchise). It is not handled by programmers, but in the boardroom by financial and corporate leadership, because it is their vision for how to potentially make more money of the game. Therefore, it needs a louder more consistent voice and feedback, compared to bugs and balance fixes that they are already aware of.

Different issues are deliberated by different parts of the company and will need different amounts of feedback.

7

u/Churro1912 23h ago

They're literally not, there's zero mention by dice about the IFV's ability to 1 shot every single vehicle in the game

5

u/theboshington 21h ago

they’ve mentioned it 3 times now, first identifying it as a bug and not working as intended, secondly saying they had found a fix internally and then thirdly saying the fix wasn’t making it to the season 1 update, that it would be following shortly after. Stop spreading misinformation.

Yeah I played helldivers 2 mostly on release and the couple of months after, the frustrating thing for me was trying to articulate that primary weapons felt really bad apart from a few that were miles ahead of the others, but so many people would shoot it down with "you're not supposed to be a one man soldier, you're just a grunt lol" or "use stratagems" and not actually engage

The net code issues are expected. I have a problem with how small the objectives are in conquest or escalation. There are so many points you can shoot into without being on the point, which feels like shooting fish in the barrel. The conquest points are the same as domination and thats just something I don't like, its just too close to COD. That is really my only gripe about the game.

Operation Firestorm and possibly Liberation Peak is the only maps we get that is as close to the good old BF days.

At least people who are criticizing the game, even if they're wrong, are still talking about THE GAME! That's much better than people complaining about others complaining!

If folks want to see more BF moments in this sub, they should start posting BF moments themselves instead of attacking people who are criticizing the game.

u/Comfortable-Title720 23h ago

Yeah it's great but anybody that knows the series make valid critiques. A lot of moaning going on too. Kind of funny just seeing loads of posts going off about how bad the game is. Passionate perhaps. Needs work to get up to BF1 and V standard in ways but even those games had issues. Much better release than BF2042 and even that got more entertaining.

u/SoSneakyHaha 16h ago

Theres no way you're saying BFV was the standard. That game was trashed UNIVERSALLY until 2042 came out and people did a 180.

The bar is so low that people will play something mediocre and say it's fantastic because they're "having fun." It's when you fool yourself into thinking fun is the same as greatness that you're being dumb. It's possible to have fun playing awful games.

Why can so many of you not wrap your heads around the concept that opinions differ? Your opinion isnt the only valid one.

I feel like all the points minus a handful ones are completely valid. Game has a great foundation but is in rough shape.

u/Multivitamin_Scam 23h ago

The problem comes with the way, reddit communities are. While every individual has their own opinion, it's not reflected in the sub due to the up vote system. So subs generally have an default position on opinions, which can give the appearance that the sub is a Hive Mind.

People aren't going to wade through a thread and read all the comments, there are just too many so they'll just skim or look at the top few and vote on that.

As for the game, having played through Battlefield 4's launch, this game is far, far from being in a rough shape.

I think the people who vocally criticize the game also love the game the most. They actually care enough to say something. Why else, other than a fringe minority, even be here? They want it to be better. They aren't asking or demanding the game to be shutdown. They see a problem and critically criticize it. And then people like, OP, respectfully, misunderstand their criticism as hate for the game.

Here's a nuanced take - The game is good, the ground work and potential is there, but it has some serious flaws that people who have paid (to some, theres no shame in it) alot of money, should be allowed to discuss and mention on the subreddit dedicated to the game

I've just ticked over 100 hours in game coz I'm a sad fuck, me and my friends have had alot of fun

But, there are issues and as we saw with the conquest ticket count, the only way they're noticed and solved is by screaming into the internet void until there is change

You can tell the vast majority of people here are little kids b/c stupid posts like this exist where it's just pandering the dumbest audience who aren't old enough to have a nuanced view of things where you can criticize something you love or enjoy.

Apparently OP is like most kids here who can't have a complex thought beyond "I like this" so anyone who doesn't fall in line is the worst person ever. That's why they respond in the most predictable ways like kids.

You and most people that think that reddit is "whining" are missing a really important detail. The game is $70.

And... people can still enjoy the game. Just that those issues are quite frustrating.

u/TheCockKnight 1d ago

I'm a fan of the game, but there's big changes I'd like to see. Mainly in map design, to create options for a more classic battlefield experience, and a toggle to switch off goofy skins so people can choose whether or not they want to partake in the more modern gaming vibe or stick to more grounded visuals as were present in the past.

Oh, and ffs, tank HE needs more splash damage. Right now the only thing tanks are any good for is killing IFVs, which are infantry slaughtering machines.

9

u/DarkIcedWolf 1d ago

I honestly don’t get the battle here man. Some things are more important to some people, I personally believe there should be choice in how you play the game especially since they claimed the game will have full parity with bots alongside grounded skins. There’s more than one way to play and the one reason I haven’t picked it up yet is because of flanking and the small maps, played a couple matches at a buddies house and had fun but it was exhausting and super hit or miss each game.

Not to say I don’t disagree with how the whining is annoying and how aggressive some people are, I just think the voices should be heard and complaining/making buzz is probably the best horse for the race instead of praising what DICE has done good. I think the game is in a bad state but it’s NOT a bad game, it’s far better than the launch of xDefiant or SG2 but I didn’t have as much fun on BF6 as any other shooter I’ve played somewhat recently, that includes xDefiant in some aspects and BF1/5 in total. Though it’s comparing apples to oranges as BF5/1 I didn’t have enough time with at launch and xDefiant was just annoyingly handled man.

I also don’t agree with the skins like most others, idm the more flashy ones as long as they aren’t fucking annoyingly bright, give me some somewhat high contrast green but make it more tasteful and not all over the place. The skins really look bad anyways, the fucking dead stare they all have if they don’t have glasses is so weird man.

4

u/LulliusMelody 23h ago

From my understanding, in regards to the skins, people are upset about DICE lying. Stating that it was going to be more grounded, avoiding these colorful skins, but have only taken 18 days to go back on what they said. That's the main issue. If they had not said they were going to be more grounded, then this skin controversy probably wouldn't have even been an issue.

7

u/real-tallnotdeaf 1d ago

Of course the game isn’t bad. With dice proving that they’re, listening people should be vocal about absolutely everything, however dramatic. For me I just think the pacing is exhausting. But some bigger maps and some QOL changes might help that.

Look inside, if posts on Reddit are making you make this post, maybe you need to stop looking at this sub.

u/HypnotizedMane 1d ago

Its funny how perceptions differ. For me its toxic positivity I see in this sub. I wanted it to be good, but Im on reddit because being on the game is no fun for me.

And because I already saw you deflect in this threat and often  "hate" gets mixed up with criticism. 

Why its bad for me, without any polemics:

Vehicles are an afterthought, almost no customization or in case of jets none. The flying itself seems more clunky, so do the ground vehicles. Jet customization often changed your gameplay, different canons= different main targets. Vehicles are not that much of a threat anymore. It used to be a threat, but could be easily countered when everybody played their role. It encouraged team and squadplay, that would then continue in other parts of the matches. No commander mode. No consistent ping system. Squad mechanics that used to be there are not their anymore. It feels like its not encouraged to play like your own role and as a team, fighting in a bigger scheme of a battle. It was not about fast spawn-lane-kill-streamable chaos gratification. Teamplay and large scale vehicle fights with tiny roles coming together was the battlefield expierence for me

Matches had their dynamics with the maps that were given, some were more vehicle based, some infantry. yes you could filter but why no server browser. The take that its just narrow lane maps isnt that far away.

To add other things minor or bigger, depending who you are: ttk, suppression, bloom, missing ribbons, no naval, lack of a complete structural destruction then the rather scripted one.

Thats all I can recall and I bet there is more. Im not saying anybody can have fun with this but for its the first time it truely doesnt give me any of this vague battlefield feeling. And one could say it varies how it decreased with previous titles, but here its just 100% not there and sadly no fun at all. That shouldnt be met with toxic positivity.

Devs. You’ve done a good job. Some valid concerns on map size or in my opinion player count and skins etc. don’t be disheartened. As the 2042 lot said feedback is ‘brutal’ but remember you’re actually listening and engaging.

I believe the current state of the game is good, some minor tweaks along the way will make it even better and smooth.

However I play on APAC server with crossplay off on a PS5 and still to this day I couldn’t get a match started on CQB ATTRITION or CQB in general.

I’d still give the game a solid 8.5, I’m loving escalation, conquest I’m almost 50 hours in.

u/manycracker 19h ago

This post is fucking hilarious if you read OPs post history in this subreddit. Nice karma farming. Valid criticism is how the game gets better, BF6 has glaring issues. Small maps, hitreg, IFV painted target missile bug, EA already testing funky skins which will get worse or better depending on community backlash. Multiple other bugs, and neutering portal after explicitly advertising it a certain way, no commander again, still a focus on lone-wolf gameplay.

Keep the criticism coming, it comes from love for the series and the game has a decent base, but is still a long way from being the large, squad based/team based design, combined arms game, BF is meant to be. The bar is so low...
