Activision's Call of Duty ** has long reigned supreme when it comes to military shooters, but that could change with this year's _Battlefield 6** _ . Though there have been times over the years when it seemed like Battlefield might outsell any given year's Call of Duty title, most recently in 2016 with the WW1-based Battlefield 1 , developer DICE's large-scale multiplayer shooter always seems to come up sh
If DICE wants to truly compete with Call of Duty , that can't happen with Battlefield 6 . It's for that reason the news regarding Criterion and DICE LA is encouraging. DICE will finally be receiving the support it needs to not only finish the game and launch it in a polished state, but also to help create future content for years to come. Criterion is no stranger to working with DICE, having created Battlefield 5 's Firestorm battle royale mode and also helping with Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefront 2 . With Criterion's extra help, Battlefield 6 has a good chance of launching in a better state than more recent entries in the franchise, which will mean fewer distractions and a smoother transition into the live service portion of the game's lifes
Luckily, fans only have a few months to wait until they get a taste of what Battlefield 6 has to offer. With a reveal slated for this spring and a release slated for this holiday season, Battlefield fans should have plenty to look forward to. If EA and DICE emphasize the technology that goes into creating Battlefield 6, return to a modern setting, and pack in a stellar campaign, Battlefield 6 could be the game fans have dreamed
The Aftermath expansion served as a mixture of both styles, introducing unique weapons like the crossbow and giving all classes a special design — capturing the feeling that players were fighting in the back half of a war. The End Game expansion rounded out the DLC by focusing on new features like motorcycles, giving Battlefield fans entirely different experiences to keep playing post-launch. Battlefield 6 continuing the free DLC plan of Battlefield 5 would be great, but there's no reason that content can't be shaped into certain themes again. Adopting a system like the content seasons in Call of Duty , DICE could deliver periods of content aimed at all playsty
Battlefield 6 has a lot riding on it, as EA is investing a lot of time and resources into the title. The game will unite a handful of EA's top developers, all of whom are contributing different things, such as a potential battle royale . It's also set to be one of the most ambitious titles in the series to date with a reported player count of 128 players and a high level of dynamic destruction. After Battlefield V was met with underwhelming sales and reception, it's likely EA decided to go all-in on this new title to ensure the series doesn't begin to develop a faltering reputation and get left behind. It seems EA will even be going out of its way to try and showcase these big, ambitious changes to the public sooner rather than later in an effort to right some wro
However, with rumors suggesting the Battlelog could be returning in Battlefield 6 , DICE may have realized how useful the feature was — and how integral it was for the game experience. Aside from players using the website for team ups, clan building, and discussion of the game, being able to track progress via Battlelog was an excellent tool for dedicated fans. Players could see leaderboards for several categories, how they were performing with each weapon/class, and much more. With Call of Duty: Warzone fans seeking unofficial third party stat trackers , there is clearly interest in a Battlelog-like system. DICE has the perfect chance to bring it back for Battlefie
DICE LA will be primarily responsible for creating content for the live service portion of Battlefield 6 . With the studio having already helped on previous Battlefield entries and now being helmed by Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment fame (the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends ), DICE LA is in a great position to help make Battlefield 6 be all it can be and help to relieve some of the pressure on DICE proper to create new cont
Battlefield 3 worked so well because it embraced more than the traditional Battlefield player. The game was not afraid to challenge Call of Duty and other FPS juggernauts by adopting close quarters gameplay, whilst also providing more content that made the series so popular in the first place. Conquest and modes like it were not treated as the only thing worth building around, and maps were designed around flowing well, as opposed to being massive playgrounds. On top of that, players had a place to gather and share their love for Battlefield 2042 Story Guide|Https://Battlefield2042Play.Com/ while also figuring out how to improve at the g
