The good, no more wierd specialist and colorful skins, this is a battlefield simulator, not COD or R6S. Each class has its strengths and its weaknesses because you are supposed to play as a team (PTFO). Graphics, textures, action, all good classic Battlefield. The sounds are better than ever. There isn’t that many bugs on the beta, much less than on the prior 3 BF releases.
The bad, there are still a couple of bugs and exploits here and there. There is an exploit I found where you can climb onto the bridge on the Arabian city map and jump around the building roof tops. A couple of times I can’t skip revive when I am all alone. Had issues with guns disappearing and can’t really aim down sights. But all these are few and far between.
The anti cheat is still a “let’s see” stage to me and any one saying that secure boot messed their computer is an idiot because it isn’t a program, they probably messed around their BIOS and corrupted something (maybe trying to install a hack for BF6)
I won’t preorder the game out of pure principal and wait till the game comes out before deciding fully to buy it or not at that time. Remember NO PREORDERS
Weird u can only party with 4 people in a 64 player game mode
The infantry combat feels good and chaotic. Having maps like Operation Metro and Operation Locker ported to BF6 would be perfect.
I didn’t get much opportunity to test the vehicles tho. My computer was lagging a lot in the larger maps due to not having enough RAM.
edit: also, I really hope they do something about the cheaters. I’m already giving EA kernel level access to my computer because of that anticheat. Having cheaters in BF6 is beyond unacceptable.
Yeah they use DMA hardware controlled by another PC to completely bypass the kernel level anticheat. It basically makes their wallhacks and some other things that aren’t replicated by the server completely imperceptible. I think anti cheat lost the arms race, we need to return to community run servers with dedicated teams of mods and admins to keep an eye on this stuff.
Non-starter for anti-cheat. They also specifically disabled it on Linux even without counting the anti-cheat.
My hopes for any BF game have been in the dirt since the BF3 beta.
Squad is fun.
