Performance and Technical Innovations: According to closed beta test data, Battlefield 6 achieves a stable 60 FPS in PS5 performance mode and supports multi-screen setups. Excitingly, the development team is working on a 120 FPS high-refresh mode tailored for the PS5 Pro. During testing, frame rates remain stable in typical scenarios, only briefly dropping to 80 FPS during large explosions. With VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) technology, the next-gen battlefield experience promises unprecedented smoothness in the series.
The DualSense controller’s trigger feedback received “excellent” marks, though its aim assist strength is notably weaker than Apex Legends. Interestingly, the beta hints at possible keyboard and mouse support on consoles, despite current device recognition issues, signaling a potential shift in console gameplay mechanics.
Gameplay Innovations and Community Reactions: Class System: Freedom or Chaos? DICE has announced a return to the traditional four-class system but introduced a bombshell: all weapons are available to every class. Scouts can wield light machine guns aggressively, and engineers can carry sniper rifles for stealth. While class-specific weapon bonuses remain (e.g., scouts have longer breath hold when sniping), the Reddit community erupted in massive protests. Players criticized this as “dismantling the soul of the class system,” with some comments stating, “If the chaos of Battlefield 2042 continues, we won’t be buying this with our credit cards!”
Tactical Enhancements:
- Battlefield interactions now include dragging teammates to cover for rescue.
- Throwing mechanics allow light and heavy throws via long and short button presses.
- Destructible environments enable tanks to collapse buildings, exposing ambushers.
- Specialized equipment returns: medical pistols for remote healing, tasers for reviving teammates and stunning enemies, and a three-type mine system.
