Battlefield 6 is making an excellent case to skip Call of Duty this year
Battlefield 6 presents a strong challenge to Call of Duty's dominance in the FPS genre. With improved gunplay that feels more immediate, it addresses previous criticisms of slow and cumbersome mechanics. The maps are infantry-friendly, breaking away from the frustrating long-range battles of its predecessor. Moreover, the Gunsmith system borrowed from CoD allows for extensive weapon customization, enhancing player agency. However, the reliance on a point system could lead to unintended balance issues. The buzz around BF6's beta suggests a growing fatigue with CoD's formula. While Activision's upcoming release remains a mystery, concerns about its quality loom large. In contrast, Battlefield 6 has managed to revitalize its franchise, offering robust gameplay and compelling features. Ultimately, BF6 may not only win back former fans but also draw in new players. As the rivalry intensifies, it’s clear that Battlefield is back in the fight.
