Battlefield 6 Just Snuck Another Ace Up Its Sleeve, and It’s Clear When It’ll Be Played

by

In several aspects, the upcoming game, Battlefield 6, appears to be a rejuvenation of the series. Unlike the near-future style of 2042, it boasts a contemporary setting, while the significance of classes has been emphasized more than in quite some time. The beta versions of Battlefield 6 showcase impressive destruction, maintaining an electrifying and intense gameplay experience throughout. After 2042 opted for a more cartoony style, Battlefield 6 demonstrates that Frostbite is a graphical force to be reckoned with, particularly since it will only be released on current-generation platforms, giving it an edge over Call of Duty. However, as evidenced by the game’s beta, Battlefield Studios seems to have another trick up its sleeve that it can unveil once its battle royale mode is launched.

Apart from maintaining its traditional charm, Battlefield 6 offers some fresh gameplay elements. For instance, players can execute an engaging roll when they jump from great heights, which not only gets them back into the fray swiftly but also lessens damage and looks impressive. The rapid turn function is beneficial for controller users, providing a competitive edge against PC gamers. Moreover, Battlefield Portal seems promising in offering abundant content due to its integration with Godot. However, what truly sets Battlefield 6 apart is a novel spin on revive mechanics – the inclusion of dragging, an innovative feature that could effortlessly be applied to the Firestorm battle royale mode as well.

Battlefield 6’s Drag Mechanic Stole The Show in The Beta’s First Weekend

Among many memorable instances in Battlefield 6, scenes involving vehicles, shotgun skirmishes, and spectacular sniper actions caught everyone’s attention. However, what truly shone was the unique feature that allowed players to drag and revive their allies. This capability isn’t limited to defibrillator revives; any squad member can be rescued in this manner. Such instances often result in highly dramatic scenes. Even when players are merely moving their wounded comrades to safety, they’re likely to attract enemy fire from the one who downed that ally. In more intense situations, there may be tank shell explosions, grenade blasts, buildings collapsing nearby, and battle chatter echoing around them as they strive to get their ally back into the fray. Collectively, these elements contribute to the creation of those iconic “Only in Battlefield” moments that the series is renowned for.

In the Battlefield 6 beta, the camera perspective during player revival offers an advantage because it allows them to observe their savior’s back, report on their surroundings, and simultaneously take in the broader battle scene.

In the present form, the ‘drag and revive’ feature is well-balanced, as it requires non-Support characters a reasonable amount of time to pick up their teammate. Instead of merely standing still during this period, players are given the liberty to move the body around for cover or even go prone while reviving. This allows them to dodge enemy attacks and protect themselves during the process. While attackers can still throw grenades or charge at the player reviving, the ability to maneuver adds a layer of defense for many players in Battlefield 6. What’s more, this mechanic is not only beneficial for multiplayer but also applicable in other game modes within Battlefield 6.

Battlefield 6’s Drag Revives Could Help Give Firestorm Its Own Identity

Following multiple leaks and rumors about a battle royale mode in development for Battlefield 6, Battlefield Studios officially unveiled the mode during the multiplayer reveal event. Although the teaser was short, it confirmed that the Ripple Effect-developed game would incorporate the spreading flames from the Firestorm battle royale experience in Battlefield 5, causing players caught in the flame zone to suffer damage and structures to collapse when struck. While it’s great to see the distinctive storm mechanics returning, introducing a drag and revive system could offer more novelty, as the only comparable feature is Fortnite’s ability to resurrect downed combatants. Compared to games like Warzone, Battlefield 6’s battle royale may distinguish itself due to its cinematic resuscitation mechanics.

In a thrilling 4 vs 4 skirmish within Battlefield 6’s battle royale mode, it wouldn’t be hard to envision a situation where one team member falls in combat. The remaining two teammates would lay down covering fire while the last player retrieves their comrade and moves them to safety. If Battlefield 6 maintains its exciting ragdoll physics for the battle royale mode, players could seize injured allies mid-air, initiating the revive animation more promptly, resulting in dynamic plays. This feature will likely make players more daring after defeating an opponent, fostering a fast-paced and exhilarating battle royale experience constantly. Although defibrillators might be a lootable device, it’s a logical decision for the revive system to rely on the drag mechanic in Battlefield 6, as it’s a lifelike addition that has garnered universal acclaim.
