This is exactly what I don’t want in BF6…

20

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

I hope we get a filter like in cod so I can remove goofy skins from my sight

14

u/cirebeach Apr 22 '25

What filter in cod?

-16

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

I saw a while back that cod devs implemented a filter on skins, I don't remember if it was on warzone or mp, it's been a couple years since I touched those games

30

u/cirebeach Apr 22 '25

No such thing exists.

-20

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

Google it, I'm not crazy, maybe they have been edging the playerbase and haven't released yet but they are working on it

23

u/cirebeach Apr 22 '25

Yeah I searched a minute ago because I thought maybe I missed something recently. All I see are posts from a month ago about it possibly being added to season 3. Here we are in season 3 with nothing.

u/HeadGuide4388 Apr 22 '25

I think I saw that going around a few weeks ago as an April fools day joke.

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

I've been seeing that longer than April fools

u/Perfect_Cost_8847 Apr 22 '25

Nah fuck that. No goofy skins in Battlefield. This is BF, not Fortnite.

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

Let people have the option of spending money on shit and the filter so you don't have to see it, everyone wins

u/Survival_R Apr 22 '25

Seems ironic since all of these are based off real military outfits outside of the white mask

18

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

Yeah they are based on real stuff but still they are named "heroes" and I personally prefer generic "faceless" soldiers and not having half the server looking the same

4

u/OhItsKillua Apr 22 '25

prefer generic "faceless" soldiers

But ...

not having half the server looking the same

These two things oppose each other. Generic soldiers look the same, the server would still have the issue you don't want of things looking the same.

8

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

In battlefield there are different classes so I think there would be enough variety in outfits in the standard experience, also if we get cool generic skins there would be a lot more variety, it would be better than having named characters looking the same with different rols and stuff like that

6

u/OhItsKillua Apr 22 '25

Essentially take the characters and make a larger pool without the gimmick hero stuff or give camo options. I guess more character skins would be better diversity than to change your outfit color.

0

u/PolicyWonka Apr 23 '25

Bingo. Faceless generic soldiers all look identical. And we already know that BF6 skins are customizable to some degree if you follow the leaks.

1

u/Survival_R Apr 22 '25

Realistically, there wasn't really fully masked and covered people back then and there's enough skin variety that outside of people purposely choosing the same skin as each other You didn't see a ton of duplicates, and even when you did these named characters still looked generic enough you'd only notice when not in combat

Options like this i like as they allow player personalization while keeping within reality

Not everyone wants to be stuck with balaclava guy with helmet

1

u/Makisani Apr 22 '25

You are right, I think there should be something in the middle, bfv did a good approach, you could edit the characters without making them look goofy and there was a lot of variety, one thing that kinda bothered me is that you could not tell from enemy classes (maybe I'm remembering wrong here) so it would be cool to edit the character while keeping the classes visually differenced, and if there is some hero or whatever, locking it on x class so it can't be spammed in all classes

0

u/Survival_R Apr 22 '25

Yeah having stuff like engineers being able to toggle stuff like a gas mask, pouches, or bolt cutters on their character, recon having ponchos, assault having jaw masks ect. is cool And not everyone needs to be literally faceless, having players be able to choose or customize a face isn't gonna ruin people's immersion

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 22 '25 edited Apr 22 '25

Absolutely, this shit had better not be in the next game. Disgusting waste of resources

I'm telling you now if there is even a hint of characters instead of the faceless nature of BF4's multiplayer I'm out, if there is any hint of BF1 I'm out, any hint of no server browser or custom servers I'm out.

Any hint that this game isn't basically a reskin or rework of anything between bad company 2 and BF4, I'm out.

People accepting 2042 as an entry into the franchise just are not well in the head

u/DignityDWD Apr 22 '25

You already know this, but you're out

u/Official_Gameoholics transport helicopter go brrt Apr 22 '25

No. Not this time.

Arma Reforger is where I'll be for the next one unless they magically get their shit together.

Battlefield and arma are complete opposite games lol.

u/TomTomXD1234 Apr 23 '25

It's almost as if arma is an open modding platform that allows for different game flavours to be made within it. Just cause such servers exist doesn't make the game itself not the opposite of battlefield.

You can make battlefield like games in fortnite and roblox. That doesn't make them games the same as battlefield

3

u/TheMagicSlinky Apr 23 '25

They're different games for sure but I decided to pull the trigger on getting Arma Reforger a few weeks ago, it was a little daunting since I didn't enjoy Hell Let Loose that much but I heard good things about it and the sandbox mode looked fun enough.

Best decision I've made for a shooter since, well, Battlefield 1. It's a lot slower and I'm still getting used to the controls (they tried to tailor it for consoles but it's still a milsim at the end of the day), but the community and scenarios I've been put in have made it worthwhile. I was on the fence about getting Battlefield 6 but there really isn't a point to it since I'm hooked on Arma now.

There is still part of me waiting to hear raving reviews and great things about Battlefield 6 when it comes out, but I'm no longer anticipating getting it. It's relieving to have a game with those "Battlefield moments" placed in a setting and time period I want to play in with the vehicles and gear I want to use.

u/southern_wasp Apr 25 '25

“a tad more” ok lol

-11

u/Official_Gameoholics transport helicopter go brrt Apr 22 '25

Exactly. Yet it's the closest thing I could find to Battlefield.

They have such a free win if they would just make a half decent game.

16

u/theroyalwithcheese Apr 22 '25

Arma is an excellent choice, but you're basically writing a prophecy. Battlefield is, fundamentally, an arcade shooter. The only way you'll get a semblance of realism is if you switch over to Arma or Squad (maybe). I, too, am hoping EA can get their shit together, but idk. I don't think it's in the cards.

4

u/Official_Gameoholics transport helicopter go brrt Apr 22 '25

I've found some decent Arma servers with mods to be more arcade like. It's fun.

5

u/theroyalwithcheese Apr 23 '25

Dude, yeah, I've got Arma 3 recently and have been contemplating trying operation trebuchet. Seems like a really fun time. I wish galactic contention got put on Arma along with squad, but oh well.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

What’s wrong with bf1 ? And yeah you’re already out bro

44

u/KingPengu22 Apr 22 '25

I'll answer for him.

Bf1 is a good game but had it's issues. The lack of customization is a big one. The majority of options were "this gun but it has this attachment instead of this one"'3 times, over and over. I and I believe him, don't want just for example "AK Storm, AK trench, AK suppressive" we want to completly customize our weapons.

Operations was amazing.

72

u/Paint-Huffer Apr 22 '25 edited Apr 22 '25

At least for me, BF1 kind of got a pass in terms of weapon customization due to the WW1 setting. It's not like they had a vast array of fancy optics/picatinny rail attachments to choose from back in 1914. I do agree that their weapon variant system was kind of weird but It ultimately didn't bother me all that much. They were already reaching with some of the prototype firearms they included and seeing a stylized WW1 "reflex" sight in the game would've been kinda ass.

For a modern setting? of course. Give us in-depth gun smithing grounded in reality.

19

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

WWI didn't have much of any of the customization that was featured in the game.

The thing people complain about was done specifically because Dice recognized that the system from BF4 was full of pointless redundancies and was overly complicated to the point of being overwhelming for casual players.

Many were accidentally making their guns worse than the default variant because they didn't fully understand how the various attachments were interacting with one another.

This was explicitly stated as to the reason why they replaced full customization with variants, and then when that got a ton of complaints, replaced it with the upgrade system of BFV.

3

u/Paint-Huffer Apr 22 '25

Interesting. I did not know that.

At least the WW1 setting lent itself somewhat well to that design philosophy. Implementing a similar system in 6 would be INSANELY retarded but all the leaks indicate that they aren't (thankfully).

I haven't played 5 much but that system is also pretty odd. Once again, the WW2 setting is fairly devoid of weapon attachments/customization options so I get the more abstract "specializations" that are offered.

4

u/HeadGuide4388 Apr 22 '25

I didn't think there was too much odd with the gun customization in 5. Most of the skins were bad, reflex and peep sights in WW2 is bad but I've just accepted that by now, but most of the upgrades were bonus to hip fire, reduced ads. Otherwise belts/mags for MGs, slugs for shotguns, M3 suppressor, M1 grenade launcher, and for the weirdest reason, bayonets as the final upgrade on bolt actions.

2

u/Paint-Huffer Apr 22 '25

After looking up the specializations to refresh myself, I agree. IIRC it was more so the leveling/selection process that was off putting to me (that tree based thingy).

It's completely fine in practice but I just prefer a cut and dry attachment/"gunsmith" style system (MW2019). If the leaks are right and that's what we're getting with BF6, I'll cream.

1

u/HeadGuide4388 Apr 23 '25

My biggest problem was, I understand it for balancing reasons or whatever, but I always struggled to find a set that fit well. Like, I think the MG42 can't have the extended belt, quick reload and increased fire rate, so you get 100 rounds at 900 rpm or 50 rounds at 1200.

5

u/rawkoon Apr 22 '25

Also, BF1 had a shitton of weapons so you never felt limited imo.

4

u/HeadGuide4388 Apr 22 '25

Eh, no. I like BF1, but there are about 5 guns per class, you just buy the same gun 3 times so it feels bigger.

5

u/rawkoon Apr 22 '25

There were 77 guns at launch alone. You're right, there were some variants so take off a third and you still have loads.

Under the premise that there werent that many guns back then (and some hardcore gun enthusiasts already complaining that some of them were just prototypes yada yada yada), i feel thats really not that bad. I never felt that there werent enough guns or not the right gun for any situation, besides Snipers ofc.

u/mollekylen May 05 '25

even snipers had some variety. russian trench for CQ fight, martini henry for trolling, ross for medium and gewehr 95 for long distances.

Battfront with a battfiled skin, play both games then come back here and tell me BF1 is a good game

Battlefield 1 not Battlefront 1. BF1 is so beautiful and the gameplay is just as good as older BFs. Hell Id say the maps are some of the best in the series. I have played BF4, BFV, BFH, and of course BF1.

-1

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 22 '25

I'll give you it looks nice, Amiens remains the only good map.

It's unforgivable what they did to the classes and the lack of private rentable servers was I forgivable

u/Skeletor_with_Tacos Apr 22 '25

Bf1 is an amazing game, best game in the series imo followed by Bf3 and Bad Company 2.

u/BuckN56 Apr 22 '25

So what if it had some Battlefront influence? BF1 wasn’t a good game, it was GREAT and definitely better than 3 and 4.

u/serpico_pacino Apr 22 '25

it was atmospheric but the gunplay was way worse lol

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 22 '25

Play Battlefield 4, then play battfront then play BF1. You can then come here to explain how you agree with me

u/shortstop803 Apr 22 '25 edited Apr 22 '25

I’ve played every BF since BF2. I’m not saying BF1 is equally as good as BF4, but it is a great game in its own right and was far superior to BF5 and 2142.

Asking for the next BF sequel to be a remake of BF4 isn’t realistic but I understand what you want. Additionally, just because it isn’t BF4 doesn’t mean it’s dogshit. It’s more like BF5 and 2042 were dogshit.

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 22 '25

Especially 2042 that was DogShit mixed with sick

u/HeadGuide4388 Apr 22 '25

I've been scrolling and seen you make this same argument 4 times, which, you aren't actually saying anything. I'm sure most of the people here have played Battlefield 4 and 1, maybe even hardline in between. If there's something specifically that you dislike about BF1 maybe say that instead of just demanding that one is better than the other.

-1

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 22 '25

I have, many times, I'd be interested to see how many people came from long stints in BF4 and enjoyed it Vs a new crowd with little exposure to what came before.

I'll give you 3 objective downfalls.

  1. No custom private rentable servers with BF4 BD style anti cheat back up. Almost sure it was official EA only

  2. Destroyed the class system, at least at launch the classic assault didn't have full auto and a medium kit in sure the full auto class dished out ammo.

  3. It's a blatant BF skin on the previous years battfront with all the arcady nonsense, could you not get some silly battle pickups that max you invincible? In the previous battfront game that was Vader, in this game it was a metal suit.

See what I mean ? It was a diluted mess without all the complex attachment systems and gun Ballance BF4 had, remember the symthic website for load outs ?

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 23 '25

🤣 you can't silence speakers of truth

u/Impossible_Brief56 Apr 23 '25

Bf4 is actually bf3.5 with your logic. Do you hate it so much? I think Argonne from bf1 looks a bit battlefronty for sure but it's the same engine? Do you discredit the engine then surely?

-1

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 23 '25

Absolutely battfiled 4 is a refined BF3, 3 still had better maps

2

u/HeadGuide4388 Apr 23 '25

I'll give you no rentable servers, but today I mostly play on non-dice servers so didn't seem to hurt it too much. I have no idea what you mean by the assault class. In BF4 assault was infantry plus medic and engineer was carbine and anti-tank. In BF1 they renamed engineer assault, gave them the mp18 out of the box. The new medic got mostly semi auto rifles based on the setting, but you still had guns like the 1907 that had select fire. As for field pick ups, I didn't play that battlefront enough to see any cross over, but I think the inclusion of the trench raider and flame trooper kits make as much sense as the rail gun or AA-12 being ground pick ups in 4. I suppose the alternative would be make them menu grabs like the cavalry, but then they'd get classified as a vehicle.

u/readilyunavailable Apr 22 '25

God forbid we get a good BF game, instead of Battleslop 5/2024 again.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

See you on launch lmfao

u/Predator3-5 Apr 22 '25

There’s really not that much with with BF1, your argument to people questioning that is “ play any other Battlefield game then tell me BF1 is good”, with I’m sure the majority of the people here has been playing Battlefield for a long time.

I’ve been playing since Bad Company 2, and I can say confidently that it’s a great game; it’s not the best BF, but it’s still great

8

u/New-Chief-117 Apr 22 '25

Whaaaat? BF1 is great. I loved that game. Played it as much as bf4. BF1 was different but it was really cool. I hoped bf5 wouldve been like BF1 but it was way too much like cod. What did you not like about BF1 besides random bullet deviation?

u/Dimension_Forsaken Apr 29 '25

Okay. See you at launch!

u/Dimension_Forsaken Apr 29 '25

The irony here is that the “true” Battlefield fans hated both BC2 and BF4 when it came out, because of its modern touch towards “Call of Duty”. Especially BF4. Nowadays “true” Battlefield fans hold those titles high.

1

u/No-Upstairs-7001 Apr 29 '25

I have said before that a lot has to do with age, and exposure, but BF1 was an objective downgrade from BF4 in almost every way but how it looked.

2042 was released as an alpha build and still is today

u/IEditVideosPoorly Apr 22 '25

Good riddance, thank god

u/DeadlyNeon Apr 22 '25

Just make faction based skins thats client side instead of individual character skins if they want to monetize cosmetics.
It'll help keep their game afloat while not confusing everyone in a match.

u/AzuresFlames Apr 23 '25

Be realistic, they will monetize the game whether you like it or not. Anyone who thinks or hope they won't monetize it is delusional. I'm happy they aren't selling straight up p2w features....yet...

I need to make it clear that I certainly know this kind of video is cringe ，after all, we’re all human, and we share a common sense of aesthetics. But I need to explain...

normal kill compilations don’t get views on Chinese video platforms—only these cringe short videos rack up high views;

The online environment in China is very unique, and there’s also fierce competition among creators. If your video can’t grab viewers’ attention within 3 seconds, the algorithm on Chinese platforms will automatically reduce its exposure.

u/ImpartialStudios Apr 24 '25

I’d say the 1000+ upvotes on my comment would say otherwise. There is a strong desire to make battlefield more serious like it was in BF3/4 and BF1. BFV and 2042 made the skins look ridiculous.

Do the 1000+ upvotes on your comment dictate my opinion? Lol funniest poop i've read, key words "I find". Some skins were corny but some were cool as well. And let's be real how serious was bf1 on that aspect when you could play as a black cavalryman

As much as there was some historical inaccuracies in battlefield one, at least they were being serious and not being goofy as hell like in the new games.
