Part 1 of Geek Aloud's multiplayer matches with the @Battlefield 6 on the @PlayStation 5 Pro.
From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_6):
Battlefield 6 is a 2025 first-person shooter game developed by Battlefield Studios[a] and published by Electronic Arts. Serving as the eighteenth installment in the Battlefield series, the game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S October 10, 2025. The single-player campaign is set in 2027 and features a conflict between a fractured NATO and Pax Armata, a private military company. The multiplayer mode features four character classes: Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon, who each specialize with different weapons and combat strategies, and has several returning game modes with the new Escalation mode being added.
After Battlefield 2042 (2021) received critical derision from both critics and players, a new title in the series began development under the leadership of Vince Zampella. Influenced by previous entries Battlefield 3 (2011) and Battlefield 4 (2013), Battlefield 6 takes a serious tone. With an estimated budget exceeding $400 million, the game is one of the most expensive video games to develop.
Following leaks from March 2025 to July, Battlefield 6 was officially revealed the latter month. The open beta periods were held in August, with the first attracting over 500,000 concurrent players on Steam. Battlefield 6 received positive reviews from critics upon it's release.
Similar to its predecessors, Battlefield 6 is a first-person shooter. The game features four character classes: Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon. The Assault class is proficient with assault rifles and grenade launchers and favors a run-and-gun playstyle with faster health regeneration. The Engineer class uses submachine guns, can repair friendly vehicles, and specializes in destroying hostile vehicles with rockets. The Support class excels with light machine guns and supports teammates by resupplying ammo, placing makeshift cover, and healing and reviving allies. The Recon class can carry out battlefield reconnaissance, uses sniper rifles, and is ideal for long-range engagements as a headshot kill prevents opponents from being revived.[2] While any class can use any weapon, each class has unique gameplay perks when using specific weapons. For example, Recon players can hold their breath while aiming with a sniper rifle.[3] Weapons can be extensively customized with mods, but each weapon has a designated attachment point limit that cannot be exceeded.[4]
Battlefield 6 also introduces several quality-of-life improvements, including a new movement system called the "Kinesthetic Combat System", which allows players to lean around cover, hitchhike onto vehicles, and drag fallen soldiers to safety before reviving them.[3] As with previous entries in the series, the game emphasizes environmental destructibility. Buildings can be demolished with explosives, and obstacles or floors can be destroyed to create new paths. Maps are sprawling, suitable for both infantry and vehicular combat. Each map also includes "Combat Zones"—smaller, more confined areas designed for close-quarters combat. At launch nine maps are scheduled to be available, with additional maps planned for release through post-launch updates.
Battlefield 6 offers multiple multiplayer modes, including returning modes such as Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush, Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination, and King of the Hill. The battle royale mode from Battlefield V is expected to return. A new mode, Escalation, pits two teams against each other as they seek to control capture points in a map. However, the number of points gradually decreases, funneling players into specific map areas.[7] The Portal map creation tools introduced in Battlefield 2042 returns, and it includes a new editor powered by the Godot engine.[8]
Battlefield 6 utilizes EA's new kernel-level anti-cheat Javelin, which requires that secure boot be enabled in the computer's firmware.[37] Valorant is not possible to simultaneously run with Battlefield 6 because of conflicts between Javelin and Riot Vanguard, that game's kernel-level anti-cheat software. Phillip Koskinas, the head of the anti-cheat team at Riot Games, stated that while Vanguard can co-exist on the same system with Javelin, Battlefield 6 does not allow the Valorant launcher to be running simultaneously. Electronic Arts claimed in August 2025 that the Javelin anti-cheat has blocked over 300,000 attempts to cheat.
Battlefield 6 received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.
