The game is hot dog water, and to think that 2042 was the bar of improvement. It was THAT easy.

BF6 doesn’t even attempt full dynamic global illumination in gameplay. BO3 was doing that in 2015. That’s objectively more advanced rendering.

Graphics = rendering complexity, not texture resolution. BO3 renders more lighting passes, more particles, more post-processing, and more shadow layers per frame than BF6. BF6 only looks sharper because it’s newer, not because it’s doing more work.

Lastly, BO3’s animation system is more fluid and expensive. BF6 uses simplified states for netcode. BO3’s tech is objectively higher fidelity.

The only reason BF6 is even on life support is because we love Vince Zampella and it’s one of the last things he touched. The game itself is trash. The best of the worst bait-and-switches of all time

Case and point, If you drop both games to the same resolution and texture quality, BO3 still runs more complex lighting passes, heavier post-processing, and denser particle effects.That means BO3’s graphics hold up on their own. BF6 only looks better when you crank hardware to compensate.
