7 Things We Want to See in Battlefield 6

With Battlefield 6 still under wraps, fans of the franchise are hoping for a much-needed return to form. After the polarizing release of Battlefield 2042, the series has a chance to get back to its roots: immersive warfare, team coordination, and large-scale battles that feel truly epic.

Here are seven features we believe Battlefield 6 needs to win back the community and re-establish itself as a leader in the FPS genre.

1. A Return to the Classic Class System

Battlefield’s traditional class system—Assault, Engineer, Support, Recon—was key to its identity. It encouraged defined roles, better teamwork, and tactical depth. Moving away from it in favor of specialists diluted squad synergy. Battlefield 6 needs to bring classes back in full force to restore strategic gameplay.

2. Fully Destructible Environments Like Bad Company 2

Destruction used to be a signature feature of Battlefield. Bad Company 2 made every match dynamic with buildings that could be reduced to rubble. Destructible environments aren’t just fun—they create gameplay opportunities and force players to adapt. We want more collapsible buildings, explosive breaches, and terrain that evolves mid-match.

3. More Close-Quarters, Squad-Based Maps

While Battlefield is known for massive battles, some of its best moments have come in smaller, infantry-focused maps like those from the Close Quarters expansion. These maps encouraged intense firefights and team coordination. Battlefield 6 should balance its large-scale warfare with tight, squad-driven encounters.

4. Tighter Squad Cooperation Tools

Teamwork should feel essential, not optional. Battlefield’s squad mechanics have become shallow, lacking real incentives to coordinate. Battlefield 6 should introduce deeper squad features—such as more impactful orders, shared objectives, enhanced revives, and meaningful communication tools—to make teamwork rewarding again. And fortunately, this game will be released on across multiple platforms, including consoles.

5. Better Map Design and Variety

One of the biggest complaints with Battlefield 2042 was its flat, empty map design. Battlefield 6 needs diverse, thoughtfully designed maps with strategic chokepoints, varied elevation, and terrain that supports all playstyles. Whether urban combat, jungle warfare, or snow-covered outposts, variety is key to keeping the experience fresh.

6. Fewer Bugs, More Stability at Launch

Stability and polish should be a top priority. Battlefield 2042 suffered from a rocky launch filled with bugs, performance issues, and broken mechanics. Battlefield 6 needs a clean, stable release with strong server performance, reliable hit detection, and fewer post-launch fixes.

7. A Return to Battlefield’s Core Identity

In chasing trends, Battlefield has drifted from what made it unique. The series doesn’t need to be a hero shooter or mimic other games. Fans want large-scale, military-themed warfare with an emphasis on realism, teamwork, and immersive gameplay. Battlefield 6 should embrace its legacy instead of trying to reinvent itself.

Final Thoughts

Battlefield 6 is a major opportunity for DICE to restore confidence in the franchise. By bringing back the features that defined the series, like the classes, destruction, tight squad play, and stable performance, Battlefield can reclaim its place at the top of the FPS genre.
