Why Battlefield 6 will be the most successful Battlefield game yet

The Battlefield games are now in their third decade and its been quite a journey. The games have always had some degree of success but they have been growing in popularity with streaming services such as Twitch making gaming even more communal than it was in the past. Battlefield 6, the newest entry in the series, is going to be going back to Modern warfare that hasn’t been since Battlefield 4 in 2013. Such a huge gap means that many players will be experiencing such a game as novelty over a continuation of their gaming habits.

Battlefield 1’s success with World War I FPS mechanics and gameplay made the franchise return to older warfare. Battlefield 2042 was an attempt to return to Battlefield 2142, without the Battlewalkers and had a mixed reception upon release. Battlefield 6 is return to the series’ modern style that began with Battlefield 3 in 2011. Such a return will evoke many memories among the older generation of gamers who buy this game as well as younger players.

It is going to be competing with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. As of right now, it seems that Battlefield 6 will win on quality maybe not on the quantity of its sales.

The screenshots that I took of the beta are not of the official game coming out in October but the game was already of a high quality at that time. The beta was very interesting and I felt the game had a seriousness which is missing in Battlefield 2042. While I like Battlefield 2042, especially some of the maps, the operators make you feel like a mercenary instead of a soldier. Seeing some of the characters with those skins just made it look goofy and distracting in a sense.

What Battlefield 6 had already in the beta was that the gameplay just seems more weighty.

The vehicular combat has always been an attraction to me in the Battlefield games. Endless infantry combat gets boring and is easier to manipulate by cheaters. The combined arms approach of the Battlefield games make them more interesting to watch on YouTube and Twitch in comparison to other games. Seeing players attempt to outwit each other while infantry and vehicles interact with one another is more interesting than seeing infantry only maps. While I am aware Saints Quarter is a infantry-only map, Battlefield 6 seems to be attempting to give infantry combat a better squad focus over the run and gun approach of the Call of Duty games, which is really harkening back to the arena shooters of Doom and Quake of the 1990s era. There is a place for both, but I prefer combined arms over engaging people in houses and warehouses.

My main focus for my Battlefield 6 gameplay is going an Engineer. I want to focus on the vehicles. Infantry only will be support as I perfer slower gameplay vs most of the people you see on YouTube; they are generally the higher tier players who also have to put on a good show. They tend to be kind of players who are very aggressive about the score. My main focus is putting in some RPG elements from my experience with playing Skyrim. I have always been serious about the winning over the score, so I tend to be more careful, conserve my lives and focus on helping the team win over my score.

I look forward to getting the game. It has been some time since I have played an FPS in a serious way. The open beta rekindled by love of the genre and I hope that the game’s release is smooth and helps to revitalize the series.

YouTube Tutorial: How to improve your Video Titles to appeal to local viewers

On YouTube, there are many ways to get attention to your videos. However, I think one of the most important ways is to optimize your video titles.

Introduction to Making your Videos have relevance in a local area.

This post will not just be about making your video titles great but specifically how to optimize them for a local area.

In the early days, YouTube was more about memes and pop culture, these were part of the monoculture as some people call it. Now, there are videos everywhere are about every topic. In order to truly gain an audience that will subscribe and be engaged, you have to provide some unique insight that people have not seen before. One way to do such a thing is by embracing a sense of building locally and thinking globally when making your videos.

As a result, you will be able to have audience that will be local as well passionate about your content on the site.

How to optimize your video titles:

When it comes to making videos about a local event or attraction, you need to emphasize certain parts of your title.

[Local Area] + Subject can be what you use.

The video title in my opinion is probably more important the thumbnail in that people see that first not the thumbnail.

YouTube says that the thumbnail is more important. However, the title is very important in a synergy with the thumbnail.

When your channel is young and you have few subscribers, the thumbnail is probably at its highest in importance. Video titles also need to synergy correctly with those images.

Such video thumbnails should relate to the place you are talking about.

As an example, you take a video of the Parthenon in Athens on the Acropolis. How do you make such a video special or interesting?

If your channel does not have the bonus of having friends who share it or you have a big reputation, you have find a way to get people to look at your video.

Your video title should emphasize something specific about your visit to the place. There have been many videos uploaded of the Parthenon on YouTube.

Emphasize:

What was special about your visit?

What was the time of day when went there?

Any special insights you want to give about it?

YouTube is a place that is highly saturated with videos about many topics and issues. You need to find a way to stand out among the sea of videos on the site.

Giving your video some local flair is very important towards getting your videos to have attention on YouTube. People are yearning for more personalization rather general videos. The video title and thumbnail should be able to be general enough but also talk to a more specific audience.

The DreamGaze Glasses Review: Protecting your Eyes from the Blue Light images.

The DreamGaze Glasses are among one of the most useful things that I have purchased on Amazon site.

The glasses which have a tinted color on the lenses are very useful at blocking out blue light on multiple types of electronics such as cell phones, tablets and computers.

I use my computer heavily and I used many brands, but they were often insufficient to protect my eyes from the blue light. I would often be exhausted and tired after using some glasses. This did not occur when I was using the DreamGaze glasses. They are lightweight and easy to use. Unlike some I got from Walmart which were breaking after using them for a bit, the DreamGaze glasses are very durable.

The glasses are not that expensive. The Gaming version of the DreamGaze glasses were only $12.99 on the site. There are also other version such as “Clear” and “Night Vision”.

Considering the price of these glasses. I think they are worth the money. The Gaming glasses are considered “Amazon Choice” which means they are highly rated by the company and ready to ship quickly to your house.

I recommend buying the DreamGaze Glasses if you use your computer alot in the evening or in the morning hours.
