🎮 Battlefield 6 Beta Impressions: Off to a Strong Start, But Concerns Remain
The Battlefield 6 Beta is finally here and it's off to a good start! The gameplay is intense, the visuals are stunning, and the scale feels epic as ever. However, I do have some concerns about certain mechanics and balancing issues that could impact the final release.

00:00Can you write stuff with the repair tool?
00:02I mean, I can test it for you.
00:11Hold on.
00:15Yeah, you can write stuff with the repair tool.
00:17We're back, lads.
00:18Wait, can I blow that up?
00:22Yep.
00:30Yeah, you can make a hole there.
00:31Welcome back to Battlefield 6.
00:32I've been playing this so much since the Early Access beta release yesterday.
00:36I streamed for like six hours and then I took a break, had lunch, and I played it for another three to four hours after just recording.
00:45So I thought today we'd pop on, play some more.
00:48And I'm going to talk about what I like because I think there's a lot of good stuff to like.
00:53Like these skins, for example, they look sick.
00:57This one reminds me of Blackboard Down.
00:59But at the same time, there's a lot of stuff that I don't like, so let's get into it.
01:02Thanks to EA for sponsoring this one too.
01:04The link is below if you want to check out the game for yourself.
01:06And I'm going to be dropping some Early Access beta codes in the comments, I think.
01:12Or I might just put them throughout the video.
01:13So look out for them and you'll be able to play it a day early or something before it opens up to everyone tomorrow.
01:19I think it is.
01:20I suppose it depends when you're watching this.
01:21But yeah, try it out for yourself.
01:23See what you think.
01:24I'm playing the support, so I'll try and get as many revives as I can.
01:29I got you!
01:30I got you!
01:31I got you!
01:32I got you!
01:33I got you!
01:34I got you!
01:35I got you!
01:36I got you!
01:37I got you!
01:38I got you!
01:39Actually, I got you!
01:40I got you!
01:41And there's some action-packed.
01:42I got you!
01:43Of course, run in the shotgun.
01:44The visuals and the audio in this are ridiculous.
01:45I'm playing this on ultra too on PC.
01:48Everything's maxed out.
01:50And I'm actually quite surprised with the performance.
01:52I think it runs really well.
01:54I'm not using frame-gen either.
01:55I guess it's the fact that they are not on the old consoles as well, right?
02:00Woo!
02:01It probably helps a lot that they don't have to make a PS4, Xbox One version of the game.
02:07go crazy with it i mean this here this street the vibes but it just feels like a battlefield game
02:13again bit of bad company too could it be a three be a four the missiles the rockets lying over
02:22big fan of that volumetric smoke too
02:25and the destruction what is happening there's a lot of detail in the environments
02:30really enjoying playing support smoking and resin like that
02:37it's my jam i feel like support is one of the most well-rounded classes in the game right now
02:46engineer as well oh this thing just it's nuts it's a really strong shotgun
02:54i hear people on the right i think we'll go through here
03:01yeah movement's been pretty good as well although there is a a physics bug
03:06i'm dead i'm dead yeah there's a ah we got one yeah there's a bit of a physics bug where sometimes
03:13you run at a certain angle over things and it bounces you into there this as well the dragon
03:19revive i love this i think that's so good feels like it just belongs in the game or like it always has
03:26i don't have range there yeah it works really well i know some people thought it might be a bit
03:33gimmicky but i think it fits i think it works well little flank here
03:43special delivery oh triple ah okay yeah outstanding welcome there this bit here in the middle of the
03:51map look at the detail in the foliage reminds me of naboo in battlefront
03:57and you can blow this all up as well make it not look so pretty anymore
04:06the facades are just crumbling head down the road here so i did make some notes before i started
04:12playing so i've got them fresh in my head and hopefully i don't miss anything but some of the
04:17stuff that i'm not really gelling with i suppose and yeah it is just my opinion and this is a vertical
04:25slice of the game right in beta it's not finished but there are some things that concern me a little
04:30bit and um yeah we'll we'll try and talk about those in the video there's a guy riding on my ife
04:39i think he's trying to get that challenge done i've seen a lot of people do this you need to repair
04:45anyway so first thing
04:52there's a guy on the point first thing is the weapon recall
04:57and i do agree i think some of the guns are a bit too laser beaming especially when you start putting
05:02attachments on where is this guy the dice did actually put out a blog yesterday about how they
05:11are aware of that and uh i've got him there's another one here i'll try and put it on the screen
05:22if i can get the screenshot of it but they basically said that they're aware of some of the concerns
05:26about recoil and that they've already done a bounce pass it's just not in the beta build
05:31rocket to the face that's gonna hurt so i think that we will see more recall in the game when it
05:40comes out there are definitely some guns where you just hold down mouse one and you pull down a little
05:47bit or not much at all some of the ars and carbines though you do have to burst and tab fire at longer
05:54rangers so it'll be interesting to follow and see what happens with that
06:02couple guys on the mini map over here
06:09is there more
06:12yeah
06:12oh get some this is brutal i'm gonna push
06:23oh hello hello yeah wrap me wrap me wrap me loads here get me in the alley
06:33god i'm in the wall
06:34please nice wait is there there's a guy right there uh sir yeah sorry
06:49eh come on seven points on let's go
06:55oh here we go here we go
06:56wow was that a quad yeah it was a quad let's go
07:04and the engineer got some points as well
07:07living the dream there are too many people in this building right now
07:12soldiers everywhere
07:16it's packed some of the character models do a weird shaky thing sometimes
07:21i'm sure they can fix that it's a party on the stairs
07:27yeah get some nice suppression actually stops passive healing too i don't know if you realize that
07:37it's not completely useless
07:39whoa i'm gonna hide here it's my little safe spot the detail on this abrams
07:46i think everything on it has physics too all jiggles around
07:51go on oh he's on he wants some points
07:54yeah maybe there's an argument for the
07:56the tanks and uh some of the other vehicles to have a bit more health as well
08:02in the alleyway
08:06handling definitely needs to work on them too
08:09perhaps the armored vehicles would have more defense though when
08:12they can put stuff like aps trophy system reactive armor
08:15there's no upgrades in the game as far as i can see in the beta build at least
08:24look at that guy on the top someone revive him they're capturing a and there's a bloody tank there
08:29uh what can i do just go stand next to them
08:38he's one of these engineer that's all engineer
08:42i can repair tooling to death
08:44yes you gotta move me okay someone hit him someone got him with a rocket
08:49oh my god yeah big fan of being able to swap classes again
08:57footsteps were good there although sometimes the footsteps do get a bit muddied i've noticed that
09:01wait this why does this guy's kit got two anti-tank mines in it
09:08how do i get that i didn't know you could do that
09:13what
09:15how do you get
09:17look at that helicopter here yeah how do you get the the two anti-tank mines
09:21as i was saying footstep audio needs a bit of improvement
09:23look at this i only get one how do i get two oh hello give me your tanks thank you first to fall
09:34there's a man right there
09:38is he dead
09:41i mean he's definitely dead oh my god friendly good job friendly buyers not on
09:48the frame of the door there came off i've not seen that before lots of little details um
09:53noticing i might do a video on all the details in the game i made a list i'm sure there's many more
10:04oh thank you there's something else i
10:09wrote down about stuff i don't like the options the ui when you go into the options menu is just
10:15it's a mess it's like sub menu after sub menu and it would really benefit from a search you know like
10:21how cod have it that's actually something cod did really well you can just type an option and it will
10:26come up
10:29nope nope oh my god hide in the rug shop
10:35rubble drop
10:38he was john wick with the pistol you gotta be careful because when you fire rockets and rpgs
10:44you come upon the minimap
10:49see ya
10:52there's a guy here
10:55busted yeah this is my new hiding spot
11:00that grenade throw animation is really bad too
11:03that's got to be improved
11:04oh i didn't kill him
11:11run pass
11:13mouse feels good
11:17very responsive
11:20oh yeah
11:23okay way too many people around there for me yeah we're gonna get the win here
11:28pretty good game that
11:29let me get the theme
11:35oh
11:37yeah
11:39actually sounds like a battlefield theme again
11:44oh this might actually be a good time to talk about
11:46matchmaking and server browser too while we wait for the next game because
11:51it looks like the game doesn't have a server browser in
11:54well at least in the beta yeah there'll probably be portal stuff where you can look at servers but
12:00it isn't the same is it let's be honest and
12:03it's
12:04even i've said this before and i'll say it again even if one percent use the server browser
12:09it should still be in the game because it's so important for the community
12:12it's really difficult to play with more than a squad of four right now
12:16you can't pick what map you want you can't pick which region to play in
12:21i i kind of missed that you could go on the server browser and see all the official servers and
12:27join the server or even a community server with a persistent lobby that rotates to all the conquest
12:3364 marks for example that looks so cool i just hope that they understand the importance of it
12:39i blow that up
12:40what happens is it gonna take out that facade there
12:47i mean it blew the car up nice fire there what's that that was a hydrant
12:52oh that's a nice detail is it gonna put the fire out doesn't look like it the server thing too
13:00it's not just about what i mentioned but it's also about building communities and
13:04the longevity of the game player choice that kind of thing now they've nailed the interiors
13:11on this map in particular
13:14somebody there
13:17here oh he's hiding in the bathroom you know what i'm gonna go ahead and close the door
13:23yeah the interiors on this map are really nice
13:25it gives me matrix vibes and look you can do this
13:32oh did i just save his life
13:36i think i just saved him
13:40i'm here
13:41that res bully
13:44you can't go up any higher than that
13:47i go through that wall yeah where's that going
13:49oh we're outside something else that's a bit concerning is i hope that there's going to be
13:56more big maps in the full game because these three that we've got in the beta they're i want to
14:02say they're i say they're like small to medium as far as what you'd come to expect for a battlefield
14:08map anyway from my experience like i've played all the games so maybe my perception of that is
14:14different to yours but this one and cairo definitely on the smaller side but i don't mind
14:19that i think they actually play quite well i think they do a good job can i solo this yeah i
14:25think they do a good job for being smaller maps and i have a lot of fun with them they're fit for
14:29purpose i suppose but i just hope that in the main game because we know there's nine maps i hope
14:35that some of those maps are bigger and there's more of a large battlefield sandbox feel i just
14:41hope that there's enough big maps is what i'm saying because i think that's where battlefield
14:45thrives the most when you get to play in that sandbox with jets helicopters tanks infantry all
14:52the toys thrown in there at once that's that's when i enjoy it the most anyway and i feel like
14:57it has its own unique flair to it that sets it apart from other games i mean there's a map that
15:02we got to play at the los angeles event last week called empire state okay someone's trying to stop me
15:08cap this yeah empire states infantry only but it's a great map again on the smaller side but very fun
15:16enjoyed it a lot i think it's going to be a a bit of a fan favorite they said they're going to put that
15:23in the beta next weekend so everyone can play i can't jump on there but yeah no vehicles on that
15:29like i said maybe they could put some transports on it i'll definitely make a video on that behind me
15:39i'm playing whack-a-mole here but i'm the mole the mole strike back they got sick of being whacked
15:45by toy hammers have we got this yes cheeky little back up there something else that i was going to
15:55mention was the time to death so time to kill is really quick i don't mind it i think it's all right
16:00but the time to death is really inconsistent and i feel that i feel like sometimes you get
16:11you get shot by assault rifles and smgs and it feels like you die in one frame
16:17which isn't a good feeling i don't know if it's loaded damage or netcode stuff but
16:23yeah they've got to look at that and also there's a few deaths where i was definitely behind cover
16:29and i've been shot by regular bullets and it's killing me which is not not ideal i'm going on
16:35this point with my shotgun just deletes people on the right oh no i'm struggling let's jump across
16:50ah pistol yes i'm jumping now no all right knife knife come on knife to meet you let's go let's go
16:59yes oh he's gone no no no no there's a wow that was the worst time for an ife to pull up
17:07this with the destruction too how you can blow the floors and ceilings up that looks amazing man
17:15they've nailed that i don't think there was much else really
17:21there was a few other things i wrote down like the sweet spot for sniper rifles that's back
17:26not sure how i feel about that i think i'd prefer if if you could only one hit kill people on full
17:33health with a headshot with snipers but some people might like it i think what was the skill
17:39in sniping down a bit and makes the game more unreadable and inconsistent just gonna rpg that guy
17:48and now i need to oh then they've got a kill have that
17:54they gone yeah generally speaking though i think they're nailing it like they're taking so many boxes
18:01with this game could still mess the launch up hold your horses wait okay we've broken out there
18:07i stole that that guy was ready to blast that dude with an smg
18:15he's dragging him not today sir it does feel wrong
18:21get rid of that
18:24that's gone yeah they spot you
18:28if you see it delete it instantly it's so strong i'm not gonna win that
18:32they kill him yeah i've got some friends here now
18:37oh i like moving through this map i think the only other thing i've not mentioned really is the
18:43open versus class locked weapons
18:47and regardless of what i think of that or what you think of it or what you think is best or worst
18:54they've got this closed weapons playlist in the game now where you can try it
18:59and it's kind of like a bfo style do you reckon anyone will see me here if i just lie down like
19:03this kind of up the objective yeah it's like a bfo style where certain classes have exclusive guns and
19:09then there's a pool of all class weapons and while it's nice to have the option for players who want
19:15to try that i think they need to choose okay this is what battlefield is if they're going to use this
19:19game as a springboard for future titles they need to decide what to do and it kind of um
19:27to me it shows a lack of confidence in their game design i think they've got to pick to one or the
19:32other they've got to pick a lane otherwise it's going to be really divisive for the player base
19:37and that will keep happening in future games man we got stomped this match
19:41absolutely ruined oh get over can i get one more kill there it is there's so many around me i'm dead
19:52yeah how many tickets we got left none okay that's it gg there we go guys thank you for watching hope
20:00you enjoyed this nice couple of rounds there let me know your thoughts on the beta down in the comments
20:04below if you've played it like i said i'll pin some early access codes and maybe i'll put some on the
20:08screen at some point big thanks again to ea for sponsoring this one appreciate that link is below
