I think battlefield 6 is dying or has a scaling problem. I’ve put about 180 hrs into it since launch and I’ve leveled up to lvl 118. I’ve gotten to the point now where I only play against people who are level 200-350 ish in the big modes like escalation or conquest. You need 60 players to fill those maps and they are having a harder time finding equally matched people so it just consistently pairs me against absolute pro players and I suck. I’m good compared to where I was in October but I generally am not nearly as good as the players I play against now and idk. The game isn’t fun when you’re constantly paired with people who are waaaay better than you. Equally matched would be fine but i noticed it once I hit maybe level 100 or higher i kept getting paired with these god tier players. Anyone else?

Not directly related to your issue, but I bought BF6 shortly after release day and it was a complete miss for me. I can’t really explain it, but some FPS games feel off, almost artificial, and BF6 felt that way. I think I have less than 30 hours on it. At first, I thought I was just getting old, so I fired up another FPS, PUBG, and no — BF6 just feels of, at least to me.

BF6 feels like youre being led around by the nose. Its not organic at all, there are all kinds of psychological tricks going on in that game.

It feels like how Facebook felt to me when they started deploying its psychological addiction tricks to keep people logging on even if they didn't want to.

The announcer is constantly suggesting where to go, look, help, etc. Once you notice its very off putting.

Even the mini map tells you where to go, I feel like I'm being trained to obey.

You guys tried Over The Top? Sounds like you’d enjoy it.

I must have the announcer turned off bc I have never heard an announcer in that game. Are you playing Redsec or BF6? The minimap never tells you where to go unless an Assault class user directs people to go to a specific sector.

I have it, the problem I have with that game is the huge CoF on the weapons at range. I'll get domed by a pistol at further ranges than my bolt action can hit. It would have been a better game if it was First person rather than 3rd.

It can be fun, but it's mostly the sweats playing now which kills the fun when you're getting shit stomped by the guys with 1000+ hours in the game.

I really enjoyed the BF6 beta (a game like that is x10 funner with friends), so I bought BF6, played it one night and haven't touched it since. I enjoyed what I played but the lack of large maps subconsciously did it for me. Once they reintroduce Wake Island I'll probably play again.

Honestly, I miss the shit out of Battlefield 1942. The feeling you got playing that game was just incredible - then the Desert Combat mod later on? Chefs kiss.

If you want to try it again, we can hop on discord and play. Discord name is same as username here.

Regular BF6 with default settings in that regard. It may not be the announcer, maybe your character? Once you notice it, it'll drive you nuts.

The mini map auto switches to the next cap if one is not selected by whomever the damn SL is now, I'm not even sure how it works. I just see the dotted lines from every person in my squad showing the direct path to that marked cap.

The game has just too many flaws and weirdness to be enjoyable. I want a good Battlefield game, but this is not it. It is the best CoD game in years though.

I do hate the character voices in multiplayer. I wish I could turn them off. It's always some thin voiced girl yelling, "FUCK I NEED A MEDIC!"

It's just trashy and try-hard.

I'm hoping Hell Let Loose Vietnam is better.

Is Hell Let Loose WW2 pretty good? I only played it once during some free weekend and I was dropped in the middle of no where, walked to the nearest skirmish for a few minutes only to die instantly and then I was like... well that wasnt fun. It reminded me of COD Warzone in that regard. Id rather spawn closer in the map than parachute in or spawn on the outskirts.

I got in the closed beta of Vietnam and I can tell you right now I'm going all in on this one. It needs some tweaks but I was blown away by how dense the maps are. They did a good job capturing the feel, atmosphere and terrifying feeling of rolling up on a gunfight. You had no idea what was around that bush line. Is it 1 guy or 20? They also only give you about 4 mags (You have loadouts so you can bring ammo boxes and such as you level). So you couldn't just mag dump into bushes and you weren't sure if you killed that guy you saw. Made it easy to back out of fights and re-engage.

I cannot wait for this game to come out. People were crying excessively over not being able to run full blast through the jungle twitch flicking to everyone. I hope they don't change the gameplay because of them. 90% of the players just refused to learn the new mechanics.

HLL original is amazing, they recently got it running silky smooth with amazing visuals. It's much easier to see but also has a steep learning curve to spot movements/etc. If you stick with it though its' rewarding. I will say it pales in comparison to Vietnam.
