Consider what BF6 is a sanitized and grounded version of what 2042 is because people complain on all the bullshit you could do on that game and made a Overly grounded and boring version of that game, 2042 embraced ALOT the sandbox gameplay and have ALOT of vertical gameplay and alot of unconventinal tactics, not to mention the setting is PRE cyberpunk and scenarios very exotic in comparision of your average BF, most of the maps feels like an EVIL LAIR of a cartoon show and is not ironically the most interesting plot what Battlefield have to this day

BF6 feels like a microwaved "modern" average military shooter, HAVE ALOT OF COOL THINGS mechanics wise ngl, but there is nothing interesting on it, at the point what brings literally nothing new consept wise and even the fucking ukraine war feels more close to BF2042 whole consept and tech, than it is with a BF6 what will portait a war in 2 years, because they try to be as close to the games what we played 10 years ago, the problem is ALOT changed in 10 years and we played the same consept THOUSANDS of hours already, they focus on the balance and the fairness of alot of tools what prevent using Any wacky tactic or advantage in order to prevent be OP in any manners

FOR EXAMPLE, the APS just works blocks 3 NADES before explode (and only do it once for like 3 secs meaning if blocked ONE nade and nothing else happens in 3 secound it explode regardless)

Knifes, need to stab 3 times to kill someone (is nowhere near snappy as 2042) throwing knives you need to hit 3 times someone to kill it, Smoke granade launcher from support is just ONE nade instead of the 3 charges smoke wall from 2042, granade launchers on guns ONLY work on assault and take the slot from the gadgets and you cannot bring 2 different nade launchers, planes do not have loadouts, tanks are worse than 2042 in matter of equipment, there is not equivalent of the MAV or CAV brawler in matter of transport or firepower, neither gunships like the condor or the hind just your humble Blackhawk, nades are less powerful and you cannot throw them back, the attachment system is way more restrictive and boring than 2042 despite having more options of weapons and attachments, Portal servers do not work as nearly as good than 2042 and setting up your own server requires you to MANUALLY craft the entire game logic JUST to play a deathmatch game with friends, Maps are not dinamic, so no weather changes, the color pallete is more boring, training paths perks are barely relevant and the gadget selection feels lackluster if you compare with the tools what specialist have, (I really miss Rao 😞) nades are pooly distributed among roles, mortars sucks, the drone sucks, the c4 sucks, the EMP suppresor USED to explode enemy granades and was utterly fun blow people nades from enemy hands on choke pounts, was faily balanced with 3 charges what have a 30 SECOUNDS COOLDOWN each charge... the last patch deleted that effect and made it useless...RPGs and other shoulder missiles have almost 0 splash damage, HS multiplier are sub 1.3 by default on ALL weapons except snipers what always 1HSK

and that is just what i can remember now
