Multiplat Official Battlefield 6 Disc **BETA Weekend LIVE

[Chubz]

The beta already plays really well, and also seems to perform reasonably well on my PC despite it being several years old. I'd say it's probably the most polished, stable Battlefield beta I've ever played.

 

[Slobodan]

I really enjoyed the beta.

Only annoying thing, no one is reviving!

 

[Zazen]

The fact that they let the head of Repsawn take over is the only reason I have any faith in this next BF. Between Apex, Star Wars, and Titanfall they are clearly a studio that know what they are doing. They gave him control during BF2042 but IMO it was already to late. This BF game was something they got to do from the ground up.

Star Wars Battlefront II was amazing after they got enough updates out. I know some people gave up on it early on but it ended up being incredible later down the road. One of my favorite multiplayer experiences in recent years

Had some time. Its a Battlefield game.

Only complaint is that they need to tone down the sun glare. Especially when transitioning between different lighted areas. Its giving me a headache actually.

I played about 6 or 7 hours yesterday, i really missed this kind of battlefield, i first got into online shooters with bf bc2 and have played all of them until 2042, i hated the last 2 bfv and 2042. The past 5 years i have been playing cod mainly due to warzone, but i think im done with COD. Im still not sold with bf6 but it looks like a step in the right direction.

 

[erhnamdjinn]

Someone got queued 270,000. My enthusiasm for 20K the other day = rookie numbers. Will you be playing?

When i lined up yesterday i was around 201k but took me around 20min waiting time to get in

Watched some of Docs stream for gameplay and I’m sold. I picked up some vehicle and weapon skin drops from another stream. Dragging your teammate while reviving seems a game changer.

The shotty seems weak though I saw numerous point blank shots that didn’t kill, at least a 2 hit minimum..that could use some work.

Someone asked him if it was better than COD?
He said it could potentially surpass COD esp if they don’t get their shit together (I don’t play COD so idk).

Nah man the shotguns are insane, I've taken out squads with it, I wouldn't be surprised if it got nerfed in the final release.

I got a code for early access. It wouldn't boot up because it's telling me I need secure boot installed, or activated, to combat cheating. I'm seeing that it should be activated by default for PC's like mine with Windows 11 from the get go, but apparently that isn't the case with me

Before I even attempted to go into my BIOS and either install or activate it, I did a quick google search I'm seeing tons of people having issues. I avoid going into my BIOS as I know my limitations.

This triggered my PTSD with BF2/3, where I had a ton of issues due to easy anti cheat, and other BS. BF4's terrible launch isa different story on its own.

There's always something with Battlefield games lol.

If this is half as good as the aforementioned were, I'll consider tinkering, but I figured I'd ask around if any of you are having issues?

Yeah I suppose he had a shitty setup I saw someone else get shwacked with 1 hit from it.

 

[Valhoven]

For anyone without early access, you can already hop into firing range and play around. Feels nice. Meaty. Excited to get in a match tomorrow.

 

[The Clinch]

Conquest is chaotic, fun so far.

There were folks doing barrel rolls and giant loops in airplanes and I watched someone go to defib a fallen teammate on the second floor of a building and the whole structure went down around them as soon as he did.

Sniping feels good, going all John Wick on a group of people while weapon swapping is fun.

First Battlefield I’ve played, still randomly play Battlefront 2.

 

[treelo]

just had a go of the firing range as im not in the early access thing, this is going to end every other FPS game

Battlefield is BACK BABY!

Its taken a long long time, but we finally have some BF goodness, and along with the map editor, this is going to be insane..havent liked any of them since Bad Company

It's actually super easy, just go into the BIOS, advanced, then you should see a tab called boot. Go into that and it should be right there. You also need to make sure you're on UEFI boot, not legacy. Took me about 2 mins.

Thanks man. I had to jump through a few extra hoops, as it said it was enabled in my bios, but not active.

I had some sound issues too, everything was tinny/hollow. Turns out I had to disable my Bluetooth mic by disabling "hands free telephony. It was tucked away under more "more devices and printer settings" in Bluetooth settings.

I got to play for about an hour though, really liked what I experienced. It basically feels like the Bad Company 2/BF2 evolution I always wanted.

I'm running my 3080 still, and I had smooth frames on Ultrawide 1440p with high settings. I didn't get into the weeds of the settings, just wanted to play, but so far so great.

The movement is so damn fluid and fun.

I hate my weapon reticule on the various machine guns though. Can we change that? I saw that we can change its transparency, but I just want a simple white dot.

I hope in the final version we can customize the look/gender of our soldiers too, make it a little more personalized while keeping the game grounded.

 

[EL CORINTHIAN]

I'm really hoping the final product is a polished and updated bf3/4 feel.

I barely play video games anymore, but I'd dust off the PC and come out of retirement for this.

I'm also still rocking the 3080, with a 1440p monitor as well, just not ultrawide. I'm averaging around 120fps overall, which is a smooth enough experience for me. I installed it on my other PC with a 7800XT, although its only hooked up to a 1080p monitor. It ran really great on that too, not sure of frame rate though as AMD's overlay doesn't seem to work in most games. I really haven't got into the settings, or even weapon customization too much yet, just enjoying the game and trying to complete the challenges. All I've got left is reach rank 20, and repairing vehicles as engineer. Having a blast so far!

Not a fan of the maps released. Always preferred the jungle/forest maps compared to the city maps. TTK seems a bit all over the shop as well.

But a HUGE step in the right direction compared to 2042

 

[Valhoven]

+1 again on picogram TTK tune-down but otherwise, only negative would be the maps curated for beta. Would like some breathing room. I remember in 2042 the maps being too sprawling; good news is right now, I only see this as an issue for B6 beta.

Also want to ask what the difference is for playerbase on class-locked weapon modes versus class-open. Is it competitive integrity, a realism thing, or what?

I think it's mostly for staying true to the series' past, as well as keeping classes as distinct as possible. When you open up the entire arsenal to everyone, it distills the gameplay since most players just run around with "meta" weapons. I can't imagine ever seeing many LMGs in "open" servers, for example, because it's so much easier to sprint around and get kills with ARs (which have far superior ADS speed and hipfire). At that point, all that separates each class is their gadgets. You end up losing out on a lot of depth and identity IMO.
