Battlefield 6's open beta launches this weekend, so I'll hopefully be putting some hours into that. I have heard quite good things about it from those who already have time in the game, but I suspect a lot of the current goodwill is just vibes-based because this game is better than the abysmal 2042 and mediocre V, and because it appears to be a bit of a spiritual sequel to 3 and 4. Although I have played the last four Battlefield games, I wouldn't consider myself a Battlefield fan so I'm hoping I can be a little more critical while playing and get an idea of whether it's worth my time and money. It was pretty clear to me from playing the 2042 open beta that the game would be absolutely terrible for years after launch, so I saved myself a lot of pain and some money by picking it up much later for a heavy discount.
Yeah, some of my friends are playing that and are very happy with it. Some of them also play the latest CoD, so it shouldn't just be because of previous Battlefield. I casually play with them sometime, so not a good judge of what makes these games good or bad.
Don't have enough space to download the beta, but if all of them end up liking it, may get it when it launches to play with them.
