Battlefield 6 and its open beta is going to be soon opening to the public and it is going to be a victory for one of America’s most hated companies, Electronic Arts (EA). The company has been receiving much criticism for its bad work culture and plainly horrible approach to the video game industry. On the issue of Battlefield 6, they seem to be listening to customers and the influencers. They have returned Battlefield to the realm of Modern combat and are challenging Call of Duty with a new seriousness to its story and gameplay here.
When the open beta opens to players today, they will have an opportunity to enjoy the enjoy the creation of the Battlefield Studios. Unlike Battlefield 2042, I expect that Battlefield 6 will be a much more successful game in comparison.
What I hope to see in the Beta
My main interest right now is how Liberation Peak will play out. While I have seen many influencers upload videos of them playing on it, we need to see it with less skilled players.
My main concern is whether the maps will play well and not just be places where you will be shot at by jets. This was a big concern when I used to play the older games such as Battlefield 2.
The ability to play this beta will allow us to see what works in the game and what is shakier here.
Open Betas are the new Demos
In the earlier years of video games but after the Arcade era, Demos were one of the best ways for a publisher to showcase their games. Entire cultures grew up around these demos alone and they were a great way to show if you were interested in a game or not. In this day and age, not having demos is one of the reasons why players feel like they have no control with their games.
Open Betas help to give players more hope that their concerns will be heard by the developers.
When it launches, beautiful and tactical chaos will ensue. That is why Battlefield is still great franchise and still going strong. Open Betas will build trust and hopefully the game is more successful than previous games in the series.
