Battlefield™ 6

Well It's Battlefield again. All in all it's still a good shooter neither a very good nor a genre defining shooter such as Doom or MW1. The Maps are primarily built around city areas and many game modes are available. Sounds are well crafted but the mixing is inchoate. The main menu and weapon configuration menu are quite a mess. The annoying game-as-a-service features can't be avoided unfortunately. The game size is also bad. Cannot this be done with much better compressed files or tricks to calculate all graphical objects more efficently? Updates are also huge. Stability of the servers is mediocre. Here and there you get kicked out from a server, loosing all your progress. Waiting times are sometimes comparable to Hell Let Loose. I remember a time in which you started a multiplayer game and after 20 sec you were in-game playing with others! Here you need to wait for the update to finish, then the anti-cheat to load, then the shaders to load, then additionaly have to confirm to go to the main menu with the space bar (as in CP 2077), then skipping all the unnecessary announcements, then loading the game mode, then waiting for the other players, then have this intro animation run (that also takes a few seconds) and then you finally can start playing. All in all the game still makes fun and I would play more often, but everytime a new update is coming out. I don't have the patience to wait 90 minutes or more for me to start! (shaders have to be compiled with every update, too. This is ridicolous I know). In conclusion, this is not acceptible for a modern game running on good hardware. EA and Dice still can't see the wood for the trees since the last 10 years. So I can't really recommened the newest branch of the franchise. 30 EUR or Dollars should have been set as price tag on the release date. I would not recommend to pay more for this game due to my stated concerns and issues with the game.
