Battlefield 6 is the best FPS when it comes to vibes

There are not many games like Battlefield 6 or any of the Battlefield games. The vibes that every battle you are in is remarkable. One of the things that I noticed about Battlefield 6 was that the game had a gameplay flow which distinguished it from its predecessors. The realism of the game and the way how vehicles and infantry were combined together into one holistic way was why the game is outselling Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The developers, a huge amalgamation of many studios knew what worked and even the campaign, criticized by some for being mediocre, is a starting point for even more single player experiences in this game.

Small additions to the game, such as riding on the back of tanks in the game give a great amount of realism to a rather more arcade-oriented game, even though this game isn’t really friendly to beginners. There are so many unlocks and abilities that one can find themselves having so much choice that one can go into any direction with it and choose what works with their tastes here.

What Call of Duty 7 is lacking is simply listening to the players. Call of Duty began as a serious World War 2 game, competing with the likes of older games such as Medal of Honor. However, once the game went into the modern age, everything became about our age or the Cold War era. While these games were incredibly popular, it was sowing the seeds of problems that would start cropping up with titles beginning in the mid-2010s. Video gamers had been attracted to the yearly releases of Call of Duty, and it worked for probably longer than any other franchise excluding some of the Japanese classics.

However, the Call of Duty franchise has become a tired series.

Having yearly releases has made many gamers to question whether it has been a positive impact on video gaming or whether its just another tool in the hands of shareholders.

Currently, it seems that series is really just being used by shareholders who see only money and an asset to use to manipulate us.

Battlefield as a series has had its ups and downs but it is a game series which is true to its origins.

Battlefield 6 is probably the best Battlefield game i have played since Battlefield 2142 in 2006. While I enjoyed the games after that, Battlefield 6 has a combined arms focus which makes it engaging here.

This is why in spite of the issues, Battlefield 6 will outsell Call of Duty Black Ops 7. It simply remembers what is without compromises.

What makes the Battlefield series special in comparison to other FPS Games

Simply put, it is the combined arms nature of Battlefield which makes it so enduring. There are so many video games that having shooting in them. However, only one truly integrates vehicular combat and infantry combat together.

This is why in its opening week in this month; players will once again complain that this is not the game, they though it was. However, it is simply Battlefield, a series uniquely standing out amongst a crowd of imitators.

The Call of Duty crowd are always complaining on the streams about how slow it is. Some players enjoy that sandbox experience. Think of it is as similar to Arma rather than the run and gun games.

The run and gun games are really boring and I stay clear of them. What I want is teamwork and strategy.

This is why I have gravitated towards RTS games and in the Battlefield 2 era, I loved the idea of the Commander mode.

Battlefield 6 is that type of game for a person who wants to be more than just a frontline soldier. I think the only game that I really enjoyed the frantic run and gun battles was in the Star Wars Battlefront games. However, those games were different in their maps, vehicles and weapons. Star Wars lends itself to such frantic style of gameplay. However, modern combat is more grounded in the realities of combat in the here and now. Call of Duty is simply too quick for me.

Battlefield provides what Call of Duty cannot, a sense of cohesion in the chaos. How much cohesion is up to the players. Some play in clans or groups and act like squads with precision. Most of the time it’s just organized chaos in here. However, that’s really the way I like it.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 looks interesting, but the gameplay is simply too fast for me; the game seems to try to recreate the arena shooters of the 1990s, where reflexes were the key to victory.

Battlefield 6 will be successful simply because it is trying to appeal more than players with fast reflexes. Everyone can play a role; sometimes a player wants to be more than soldier running and gunning.

This is why I am looking forward to enjoying this game.

The Google Empire: Why we need more search engines other than Google

The usage of “network” effect to basically dismiss calls for other search engines or any other institution is a common phrase. The people who use it to say there is something transhistorical about Google and that people should be just accept Google. The thing that Google has is the ability to just control the access to information and also installing their search services on every Android device here. Microsoft got in trouble for the same thing, but now they are basically the underdogs here in the search space with Bing, which is good but is basically unable to gain traction because Google keeps people within their systems. This means that people only see Google and not other competitors.

I use Google’s products as they are not incompetent at making email services such as Gmail. However, they are often used as the only service and the “nerds” or power” users are trying to use other products. For example, think about DuckDuckGo or other search engines such as Bing as I mentioned earlier. However, Bing is the only one that is capable of challenging Google. In the early 2010s, its market share was higher than it is now but it is unable to get beyond a small percentage.

We need more search engine choices.

Why is that we allow people to congregate in the “best”

This best is being propped up with all sorts of trickery and manipulations. The most important thing that can happen now is that we need to break up the app stores of both Google and Apple. This duopoly has allowed for the ossification of many aspects of the internet. It has led to the decline in the quality of desktop sites. Previously, desktop sites had all their charm and qualities. Now it the same throughout and it is not interesting now. Even the corporate sites, the front page of a company’s brand have become little more than portals to their social media sites.

We need competition and while we may have alternatives, we do not currently have competition.

Search engines should be an area of competition and growth and not beholden to only one company. The internet is a space without any limit in space only bandwidth. We should have many choices.
