Battlefield 6 — First Impressions Review – PlayStation.Blog

Battlefield 6 just launched, and let me tell you, this game is something else. Electronic Arts pulled out all the stops, and I dove into this chaotic warzone where everything’s big and loud. I found myself in the thick of it across four of the nine maps they’ve got at launch. It was nuts—huge battles with tanks everywhere, but then suddenly you’re in these tight little skirmishes. Rapid-fire chaos, if you catch my drift.

So, this one’s like going back to the good ol’ days. Battlefield 6 kinda feels like Battlefield 3 and 4 got together and had a baby, which is pretty rad if I’m being honest. It’s set in 2027—yeah, the future’s pretty wild—and they’ve brought back character classes! But with a twist, ya know?

And guess what? If you’re itching to jump in, you can actually get a taste during the open beta weekends in August. I know, waiting sucks, but that’s how it goes.

Alright, character classes. They’re back, but they let you get all fancy with it this time. It’s not like a carbon copy of the old ones. Nope. They expanded it, and now you’ve got this Training system. Think subclasses, but cooler? Maybe? Also, as you level up, classes get these buffs. It’s like a video game lotion that makes them slicker? Okay, weird analogy. Forget I said that.

The abilities themselves are class-specific. Assault class, for example, thinks it’s a rockstar with assault rifles and combat stims. They run around like they own the place. And then you’ve got Recon, all about sniping, like they’ve got a vendetta against missing shots. One bullet to the dome, and bam, no one’s reviving that guy.

And Engineers? These guys laugh in the face of broken vehicles. And Support? Well, they’re the friend everyone wishes they had—dishing out health and ammo like it’s candy.

Weapon-wise, you’re partially locked-in depending on the playlist. Sometimes you can’t just grab whatever gun you fancy. Keeps things interesting, I guess.

Okay, picture this. The game lets you destroy the map, like really tear it apart. Break down doors, smash windows, the whole nine yards. There’s an art to it, and it can totally change up the match. I remember trying to bring walls down with a grenade, but who needs precision, right? Thomas Andersson, who leads the charge on this, said it’s all kinda planned so you can use it tactically. Crumbling buildings and falling floors? Yep, that’s Battlefield 6.

Then there’s something called this Kinesthetic Combat System. Sounds fancy, huh? All it means is you get strategic prompts and can do cool stuff like lean around corners to shoot. You can even drag a downed teammate to safety. Felt like a hero the first time I did that.

The maps. Gee, where do I start? One’s this giant mountain—Liberation Peak, I think. Snipers love it. Then there’s Siege of Cairo. And let’s not even talk about Brooklyn streets in Empire State. Each map is like stepping into a different kind of action movie.

Mode-wise, it’s a mixed bag. Squad Deathmatch revives an old classic where four squads duke it out. And then there’s never-ending chaos with Conquest. It’s big teams, lots of commotion—just try and stick to the plan.

So yeah, Battlefield 6 amps things up to crazy heights. Tanks, explosions, and carnage. If you don’t believe me, check it out yourself during the August beta. The full deal drops on October 10. Brace yourselves!
