Battlefield 6's Story Campaign Lets You Have Fun With Destruction When It Wants To

"Battlefield 6's campaign takes place in 2027 after NATO gets reduced to shambles, and a private military corporation known as Pax Armata has risen to power. This corporation's attempts to further accumulate power threaten to send the world into global conflict. The story follows members of the elite US Marine raiders unit known as Dagger 1-3 as they fight against Pax Armata's forces on a global scale. During this hands-on session, I played missions set in Gibraltar, the United States, and Tajikistan."

"This part of the story takes place in the city of Gibraltar, which is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. The mission began with our arrival by water to reach the beaches of Gibraltar, as Pax Armata had seized control of the city. The historic rock of Gibraltar was on my left as we reached land, and it was a stunning view despite the low graphics settings my laptop needed to use."

"My role was an engineer inside a tank, and I was tasked with providing covering fire to my fellow soldiers storming the beach. Pax Armata's forces had set up an outpost with trenches and other fortifications, but my tank's artillery fire easily laid waste to their structures. There was a lot of gunfire, explosions, and smoke as I worked to destroy their forces. I had a blast as I flattened everything on that beach, and it was exactly the type of destruction you'd expect"
