I’ve never really connected with the Battlefield series. I usually find military shooters too focused on over-the-top action and stereotypical masculinity, and I’ve always grouped Battlefield with games like Call of Duty, which I generally don’t enjoy. So it’s strange that I’m actually really excited about Battlefield 6, even though it doesn’t seem like something I’d normally like.
Let’s be clear: Battlefield 6 isn’t perfect. The requirement for Secure Boot on PC is annoying, and I’m frustrated by the expensive and pushy Battle Passes and in-game purchases, especially for a $70 game. I’ve also heard the story campaign isn’t very good, though I haven’t played it myself. I’ve been so hooked on the large-scale multiplayer battles that I haven’t had time to check out the campaign. Basically, the multiplayer is incredibly engaging and keeps me coming back for more.
Why Battlefield 6’s Multiplayer Works for Me, as a Non-Fan
My Core Grievances with Military Shooters like Battlefield and Call of Duty
Even though I wouldn’t call myself a fan of games like Call of Duty, I grew up playing them, so I’m familiar with the series. While the core gameplay – the shooting, the levels, and so on – is well-done, I’ve always found the overall presentation to be uninspired and a bit disappointing.
Even before games started using things like microtransactions and loot boxes to make more money, series like Call of Duty were intentionally built to be highly addictive. I never found individual matches very fulfilling, no matter how well I played, and that’s not an accident. Many multiplayer shooters are designed to be just engaging enough to keep you playing, but not so immersive that you feel satisfied. That’s why I’ve always preferred single-player games—they offer a clear start, middle, and end. While Battlefield 6‘s multiplayer doesn’t really have an ending, I have to admit that each match feels like a complete, epic story.
Honestly, I’ve kind of gotten tired of military shooters lately because so many of them feel overly nationalistic in their stories. And while I’m hoping Battlefield 6 will be different, it’s not like it’s completely avoiding those themes either.
Battlefield 6 Feels Like a War Movie
I’m relatively new to competitive shooter games, but I was blown away by how dynamic, exciting, and visually impressive Battlefield 6 is. Even with dozens of players in a match, it never feels chaotic. You’re constantly moving through intense firefights, dodging bullets, and seeing teammates help wounded soldiers. Look up, and you might witness a jet being shot down or an explosion tearing apart a building. It all feels like being part of a larger, unfolding story that plays out over each 20-to-30-minute match.
What really makes Battlefield 6 exciting isn’t just things like environments you can destroy, specific roles for players, and the vehicles—it’s the players themselves. The multiplayer experience heavily relies on teamwork, with people from all over the world working together, planning, and responding to each other in unpredictable ways. This combination of player ingenuity and the game’s complex systems makes Battlefield 6 feel dynamic and ever-changing, unlike the more predictable multiplayer in games like Call of Duty or Halo. I think I finally get why people love Battlefield, though I worry my sleep might pay the price!
