I've been using Steam for 20+ years and to the best of my memory have never left a review. I'm just so sick of review bombing I feel the need to offset it. Review bombing a game because it's not COD or because you don't like Battle Royales, or whatever the case... Is wild behavior and bad for the industry. Something (which to my surprise) EA (or this specific team) is clearly trying to change back in the favor of the gamers themselves, at least in this brief window of time. If you have even the tiniest amount of logic you can see that BF6 being a massive success will only force COD and others to be good again, and listen to their community.
I've played every battle royale essentially since the beginning, Dayz: Battle Royale / H1Z1 and tried everything since. To me, there was always something special with PUBG, and then COD Blackout took it to the next level, with Apex Legends bringing some new really nice mechanics (high risk reviving teammates, ziplines, great performance, etc). Warzone was an abysmal mistake coming off of Blackout. Impeccable timing lining up with the pandemic and everyone playing it while at home built a false narrative about the game to Activision, which ultimately lead to the comical trash heap it is today. Take the pandemic out and Blackout 2 comes out a year or so later to undo their mess.
REDSEC is COD Blackout V2 with a spritz of Apex (given who's running the studio, no surprise), that is the best way to think about it. The perfect balance of simple mechanics with solid gunplay, no sprinting in circles dolphin diving around the map, no cash to farm to spam buy your loadout and revive your teammates 17 times straight... Most importantly, in the first 2 days I have experienced no game breaking bugs, we had a single crash across many hours of queues with 4 people, and the game is running at max settings, 4K 240 FPS locked 100% of the time without ever faltering. This alone should be praised (though it shouldn't have to be). Playing Warzone on 5090 at 4K has constant 1% drops, stutters, crashes, constantly recurring issues with the party and queuing system... Legitimately a terrible experience.
Everyone knows these reviews are fake or just haters, ♥♥♥♥ it takes reading 20 of them to find one that actually references the gameplay. The first 10 I read were just simply mad there was a BR mode (just don't play it?) Keep it up EA, you are doing the right things, and the player counts show it.
TLDR: If you like the high stakes open world feel of Battle Royales, this is arguably the best it's been done. It's hard to find anything significant to complain about. They clearly were very intentional in taking key aspects of the most popular BR games and blending them together. Never ending intense and comical moments, smooth movement, gunplay that feels like the better shot wins the fight, rock solid performance. Thumbs up.Show moreShow less

I do not like being forced to do challenges for the battle royale, when I'm just interested in playing the base game. Please keep battle royale challegnes separate from the standard multiplayer; if you want to have some multiplayer as a timed mode for the battle royale, that's fine, but please keep it separate.Show moreShow less

The game is good, the complaints are entirely from warzone fanboys who say it’s to slow based, and battlefield fan boys complaining about a battle royale that they don’t have to play, all because some of its inspiration came from warzone. It’s very warzone esque but with battlefield gun physics, slower plating, and none of that fly around the map crouch jumping at 200mph bs. Virtually all buildings are destructible and the ring is the best ring of any battle royale to date in my opinion. It’s a great battle royale just don’t go into it expecting an experience that’s the exact same as battlefield 6, or an experience that’s just like warzone. It’s a pleasant and well done combination of the two and despite the review bombing on steam the game is sitting at 4.5 stars on psn and over 4 stars on the Xbox store, so don’t let the review bombers deter you from the best battle royale out right now.Show moreShow less

BF6 base multiplayer gets small maps with limited destruction.
BF BR gets a massive map with whole buildings coming down and water vehicles.
I wish they spent more time making Conquest a true BF experience.Show moreShow less

Actually a solid battle royale experience. Most negative reviews are just butthurt people about maps and challenges...
If you just want to drop in, destroy some stuff and have a good time... this is for you.Show moreShow less

I wouldn't hate it so much if I wasn't forced to play it for challenges in the main game. But I am. So I do.
This is not why I bought Battlefield 6.Show moreShow less

Being mass review bombed by COD fanboys / people who hate battlepasses.
I hate battle passes as well, yet unbiased opinion, its slow paced, destructive, and fresh.
Tanks are not as OP as people think they are, matches last about 20 minutes or so (if you win) and provides variety of ways to play the game. It aint perfect but its honest work.Show moreShow less

no solo queue and no disable autofill option so you can't even play solo against duos so I'm writing this review because I wouldn't have downloaded the game if I knew that beforehand so hopefully it saves someones time, I'll edit this if they change it.Show moreShow less
