"Battlefield 6" Seeks to Reclaim the Front Line of Multiplayer Shooters | Video Games | Roger Ebert
"Like a soldier bursting through a slo-mo explosion in an action movie after the audience thought him dead, here's "Battlefield 6," an ambitiously designed and remarkably well-executed shooter. The map variety, the incredible sound design, the stunning graphics, the tight campaign-this is the best "Battlefield" in almost ten years, a reminder of what this series does so well and why it still matters in its third decade."
"In the '00s and early '10s, EA's "Battlefield" was one of the most critically and commercially successful franchises on the market, really pushing the envelope in terms of immersive combat experiences. I can vividly remember being stunned at the malleable environments of early "Battlefield" games. For those unfamiliar, cover mechanics in shooters are typically pretty ridiculous in terms of real-life physics. Let's just say that hiding behind a wooden box to avoid machine-gun fire probably wouldn't work."
Battlefield 6 returns the franchise to form with ambitious design and strong execution. The game delivers varied maps, exceptional sound design, high-fidelity graphics, and a tight single-player campaign. The series once pioneered destructible environments and cooperative class-based play, where buildings collapse under heavy fire and players adopt roles like Recon and Medic. Earlier entries such as Battlefield 2, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 1 were standout successes. The franchise suffered downturns after Battlefield V and Battlefield 2042, the latter launching with significant technical issues. Battlefield 6 restores faith by reminding players of the series' strengths and relevance.
