EA's latest shooting game epic Battlefield 6 attracted over 330,000 players online during its public test, setting a new series record and significantly outperforming its predecessor Battlefield 2042, which had about 240,000 concurrent players at launch. This public test was only available to players with exclusive codes or those registered for Battlefield Lab or EA Play Pro, leading to a peak queue of 48,000 on the Steam platform, clearly showcasing the high anticipation among players for this release.
Battlefield 6 returns to its roots with a modern battlefield setting, showcasing several key maps while further enhancing environmental destruction features. However, some players have raised concerns about the reduced map size, arguing that it tightens the pace of combat and offers a starkly different gameplay experience compared to the expansive vehicle battles of the past. Nonetheless, Battlefield 6 still preserves its unique class system and strategic combat gameplay, earning appreciation from both veteran players and newcomers alike.
For the gaming community, compared to the early criticism faced by Battlefield 2042 for its overly vast maps and gameplay, everyone is now more accepting of Battlefield 6’s current performance and is looking forward to a complete experience upon its official release. EA has continuously adjusted the configuration of soldier weapons and game balance based on player feedback from testing to ensure that the quality meets standards at launch. Overall, Battlefield 6 achieved remarkable results during its first-day testing, making a strong comeback in the shooting game market and is expected to solidify its position in the realm of large-scale warfare shooters.
