Blimey, that was rather good wasn’t it? Following the official announcement of EA’s Battlefield 6 with an interesting looking campaign focused trailer, the multiplayer component has now been revealed alongside details of the games beta periods and when you go hands on for yourself.
Per EA “Wage all-out war with infantry and vehicle combat, class-based squad play, and cutting-edge audiovisual immersion. Where Fighter Jets, Tanks, skydiving RPGS, Heavy Artillery, and high-intensity infantry combat become one. Demolish your surroundings for a strategic advantage with Tactical Destruction. Turn your vehicle into a wrecking ball, bury a squad under a ceiling, or create new paths to victory. Battlefield’s new Kinesthetic Combat System makes you more connected to your soldier and environment than ever before. With overhauled gunplay and tactical movement, from crouch sprint to drag and revive, every shot and movement is more instinctual and precise.“
The team of studios working on Battlefield are bringing back classes – Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon roles all return, each offering different weapons, gadgets, and traits. Vehicles – like tanks, choppers and jets are present and accounted for too. Pair this with a new destruction system, the game looks absolutely insane.
When it comes to maps, there’s plenty to look forward to Battlefield 6 will take us from Egypt to Brooklyn and Tajikistan. There’s a total of nine maps, one of which is a revamped ‘Operation Firestorm’ from Battlefield 3.
With modes, fan favourites like ‘Conquest’ and ‘Rush’ return, but we also have ‘Breakthrough’ and the new ‘Escalation’. Game modes include Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination, and King of the Hill, with, per EA, even more content arriving post-launch. If you want to make your own multiplayer experiences, Battlefield Portal returns, allowing players to make their own custom experiences to share play online.
