Battlefield™ 6 All-out war on a collapsing map

This is large-scale combined fighting where infantry and vehicles share the same battle. You hold ground on foot in high-intensity exchanges, then look up to aerial dogfights or out to naval warfare while tanks and heavy artillery shape the front line. Balance can swing, so expect some lopsided fights.

Class-based squad play keeps it organized around roles you fill side by side. You pick a role, stick close to your squad, and cover each other through skydiving drops with RPGs and pushes forward.

Cover does not stay cover here. Buildings and cover can be torn apart to gain the upper hand, with options like smashing through with a vehicle or dropping a ceiling onto a squad that thought it was safe. You get sound and visual feedback on how near something is to collapse.

The destruction divides players: some praise it, others say many parts of buildings cannot be broken.

The war moves through places such as Cairo, Brooklyn, Gibraltar and Japan, fought beside top Marine Raiders trying to save a failing world. You might drive a tank across the Sahara in one fight, storm the beach at Gibraltar in the next, then defend New York.

You can choose massive maps or fast, close-quarters combat. The trade-off is scale: some maps are tight, so expect close-quarters fights more than room for slow flanking.

Movement feels hands-on through the Kinesthetic Combat System, which gives close control over actions such as crouch sprinting and dragging a downed teammate back before a revive. Gunplay is overhauled around that same direct, tactical feel, with strong audiovisual immersion behind it. The visuals look impressive.

The gunplay itself divides players: some find the core gameplay fun, while others find it inconsistent or off.
