Is This Proof Battlefield 6 Needs Closed Weapons?

Does Battlefield 6 need closed weapons for classes? A recent clip provides a compelling point why it should.

thorstein263d ago

I agree with the locked weapon BUT support needs more choices than just LMG. I can't medic while lugging a giant gun around.

Shiro173262d ago

They have carbine, dmrs, shotguns, etc.. I played support most of the beta n only used lmgs like 5 times, mostly was using m4 and the other carbine weapons.

thorstein261d ago

In closed weapons they only have LMG.

Npugz7262d ago

It doesn’t need closed weapons for Christ sakes!

Sadist3262d ago

Yes it does. All the old battlefields were closed. You must either be a COD player or a new kid just jumping on battlefield

abstractel262d ago

Just because old battlefields used weapons tied to classes doesn't automatically mean every BF game needs it. I am not saying you are wrong, we'll see what the majority says when the game comes out. I liked it in the beta that you could pick closed or open and I think BF has the numbers to fill servers and satisfy people who like both.

pwnmaster3000262d ago

Didn’t it have an option for closed weapon maps?
What’s wrong with that.

much better for people to setup their own classes with equipment and loadouts... let players mix em up...

Battlefield 6 Roadmap for 2026 Promises Server Browser, Persistent Servers, Naval Warfare and More

The Battlefield 6 roadmap for 2026 has been revealed, and it confirms a server browser is on the way alongside naval warfare and more.

Until they add bigger maps to modes other that their garbage br, im not reinstalling that, they just blatantly misled a lot of people leading up to release. And still refuse just add bigger maps which people have asked for since the beta fk EA!

Extermin8or3_42d ago

Someone didn't read the article.

isarai_lee42d ago

Why would you assume that? Nowhere in there does it mention bigger maps, it mentions reimagined old maps, says nothing about their size

Duke1942d ago (Edited 42d ago )

TBF - the developer does say that next month they are releasing the largest map they have released in a Battlefield yet in Golmud. (4x the size of Mirak Valley)

And then in July comes Tsuru Reef (even larger) which I actually think looks really sick

REDGUM42d ago

I couldn't agree less with you actually.
EA hav3 listened to the people before releasing this B6 game.
It plays much better and more battlefield like than the past 3 installments.
Personally, it's not bigger maps this game needs. They've dropped the player count which is a great compromise imo.
Bigger maps with only 32 v 32 means more running around doing nothing.
Keep the new maps coming & aiming for old style battlefield games and it's a win win for me.

Urrakia3442d ago

Server browser should've been in there at launch, when will devs learn this? It's a feature seemingly always neglected but then added in a future update...

AuraAbjure42d ago

I remember in BF Hardline the server browser didn’t have any dedicated DLC maps, and the entire player base fell off accordingly. When people pay good money for DLC maps, they want to be able to actually play them, and that means dedicated DLC ONLY servers must be programmed into the server browser by the devs.

AuraAbjure42d ago

EA should do what Bungie did for Halo 2 in 2005. When Bungie basically invented DLC maps for online matchmaking they were smart enough to realize it could split the community. DLC maps had DEDICATED PLAYLISTS so players who spent good money on the DLC could hop right into matches. Later, the DLC maps became free and also became a MANDATORY DOWNLOAD for everyone so that the DLC maps could be integrated into all standard playlists. This prevented the game from dying and the community from being fractured.
