It’s been lower than every week since Battlefield’s free-to-play REDSEC battle royale mode launched, however gamers of the paid Battlefield 6 recreation usually are not a fan of how the winds appear to be altering.
As a long-time Name of Responsibility participant, I solely have one response: “First time?” As a result of yeah, anybody may have seen EA’s focus shifting to the money-making free-to-play mode and microtransactions coming by wanting on the previous 5 years of CoD and Warzone. However I additionally suppose the panic could also be setting in a bit too fast.
One such vocal BF6 fan took to the anger-pit that’s the Battlefield Reddit web page to voice their issues, angrily calling BF6 a “bait and swap” and “a Name of Responsibility recreation carrying a Battlefield pores and skin, marketed as a ‘return to type’ for the BF3/BF4 period that by no means arrived.” Oof.
The Redditor introduced forth the important thing artwork for BF6 in comparison with REDSEC’s as proof, citing the sport’s branding as a “drastic tonal shift” that spells the start of the period the place REDSEC is the main target and BF6 falls behind, a minimum of in principle.
“The launch branding felt just like the core BF we’ve all missed,” the participant stated. “The 4 nameless troopers, seen solely from behind, communicated that this recreation is about anonymous fighters thrown into all-out warfare. Then got here season one. After barely 18 days of that grounded ambiance, this new branding seems to be ripped straight from Name of Responsibility and appears to symbolize a broader shift.”
Lots of customers felt compelled to name the submit out, saying that BF6 feels the identical for them and that the poser is exaggerating. However some others are smelling what the OP is cooking, particularly in the case of seeing Warzone and CoD’s influences.
“What I hate is how stylistically it’s the EXACT copy of CoD/Warzone, like they’re not even attempting to cover it or give it their very own spin,” one other gamer stated. “I performed CoD/Warzone a bunch and it appears like a everlasting Deja Vu being within the menus. I don’t hate CoD/Warzone for what it’s, let it’s what it’s. I used to be simply additionally hoping to get that BF expertise again. If I wished Warzone, I’d play Warzone…wtf…”
For what it’s price, Steam opinions for REDSEC are Blended, whereas BF6’s clock in at Largely Constructive, reflecting a big selection of opinions in the case of each video games. Both approach, there’s over 400,000 gamers on-line on Steam as I kind this (participant rely is just not tracked individually for the completely different modes), so EA and Battlefield Studios are doing one thing proper.
I’m personally not a BF6 participant however I’ve tried REDSEC, and I believed it was a effective recreation. What say you, pricey reader? Is BF6 headed down the Warzone path with REDSEC? Tell us within the feedback beneath.
