Alright, so here we go. Battlefield 6 is coming soon, right? October 10 is when it’s supposed to hit the shelves, if I recall correctly. They’re really pushing this whole destruction angle. It’s a game-changer—or maybe not. Hard to tell with these things sometimes.
David Sirland, one of the brains behind it, spoke up about how destruction damages players. But it’s not like—bam! Instant damage. No, it’s more gradual, which is kinda interesting. I guess they’re aiming for fun over chaos. Or maybe they got distracted and tried something different. Who knows?
And wow, did people jump into the beta like seagulls on a sandwich. Over 500,000 players? That’s nuts. Steam must’ve been buzzing. Oh, and apparently, Battlefield 6 already outdid Call of Duty in terms of engagement. Friendly rivalry, perhaps? Guess we’ll see where that goes.
Sirland—yeah, back to him—mentioned on Twitter (or X? Whatever it is now, sheesh) that being under falling stuff for longer hurts more. Makes sense—big rubble equals big ouch. But he says they’re tweaking it more. Tuning, I think he called it. Imagine tuning destruction, like it’s a guitar. Anyway, it should calm folks who were worried the damage was too meh.
And soon, people can dive back into the second beta round. August 14 to 17, mark your calendars if that’s your thing. Maybe this round will do better than the last? Feels like the community’s excited, so fingers crossed they don’t screw it up. But hey, as I said, who’s to really say until it happens?
Battlefield 6 is shaping up to stir the pot for sure. Whether it’s adding a fun spin or just breaking the mold a bit—it’s kinda exciting. Are you excited? Should I be? Guess I’ll decide when I see the explosions.
